Macroscopic Podcast

Rick Rule joins us for a masterclass on natural resource investing: what actually works, what’s hype, and why most investors get wrecked even in bull markets.

We cover his core contrarian framework “buy hate, sell love,” why he sold most of his silver and rotated into miners, and how to separate saving (gold) from investing and speculation. Rick also breaks down why gold moved first, why mining equities lag, what royalty/streaming gets right, and why 90% of listed mining companies are non-viable plus the hard reality that many “10-baggers” come with brutal drawdowns.

In this interview:
• Resource cycles and contrarian timing
• Silver vs silver miners and valuation traps
• Royalty/streaming vs operators
• Why juniors are mostly dead money and how to filter them
• What to watch next in precious metals and the macro backdrop

Leading precious-metals analyst (The Gold Observer / Money Metals) Jan Nieuwenhuijs unpacks the hidden mechanics behind the global shift in the monetary system: China’s gold strategy, Europe’s long-running “gold equalization,” and how non-dollar settlement infrastructure could change reserve assets and pricing power. 

We cover why China accelerated buying after 2022, the case that real PBoC reserves exceed official numbers, how gold moves between East and West, gold tokenization and future settlement rails (mBridge), and why gold revaluation keeps returning as a serious policy option — including an imminent over night repricing of gold at $8,000/oz.

Louis-Vincent Gave argues we’re in a synchronized global reflation. Fiscal deficits are expanding, central banks are accommodating, yield curves are steepening, and commodities are breaking out. Financials, metals, emerging markets and Latin American debt are responding accordingly. The key risk? Not the Federal Reserve tightening—but energy prices or a bond market revolt.

On China, he makes a blunt case: the US tech war forced Beijing to de-risk and upgrade. The result is a manufacturing leapfrog, a structural equity bull market, and a gradual push toward renminbi internationalization. He explains why the Hong Kong dollar peg still holds, why RMB bonds outperformed for a decade, and why he’s now backing Chinese equities over bonds.

We also cover gold vs US Treasuries, central bank buying, the shift in FX reserves, and why energy—not precious metals—may be the real macro pivot from here. Serious macro positioning for a changing monetary order.

Matthew Piepenburg argues that we are living through a slow but historic turning point marked by rising bond yields, collapsing trust in institutions, and the gradual erosion of U.S. dollar dominance.

We discuss Japan as the canary in the coal mine, why central banks are trapped between saving their bond markets or their currencies, and why the next Fed pivot is likely to mean more liquidity and further debasement. Matthew explains why this gold bull market is different from the past, why silver could see extreme volatility, and why central banks are quietly accumulating gold ahead of a potential monetary reset. From geopolitics and BRICS to debt, revaluation risk, and the future of the dollar, this is a deep dive into the structural shift now unfolding beneath the headlines.

Lynette Zang joins me for a deep dive into the end stages of the fiat monetary system. Drawing on decades of studying currency life cycles, she explains why the dollar’s purchasing power is effectively approaching zero, why gold and silver are not “rising” but currencies are failing, and why we are entering a historic monetary regime shift.

We discuss gold’s true fundamental value, the collapse of Wall Street price discovery, the role of debt and derivatives, stablecoins, CBDCs, and what history tells us about how monetary systems always end. Lynette also shares why confidence, not numbers, is the real foundation of any currency and what individuals can do to protect purchasing power in the years ahead.
