    The Strait "Reopens" and Gold Keeps Climbing

    In today's episode: Good news broke this morning: the Strait of Hormuz is officially open again — assuming you believe what you read in the papers, which Doug emphatically does not. Oil dropped toward $80, gold crept toward $5,000 (a combination Doug calls "a little bit counterintuitive"), and meanwhile C-130s keep flowing into the Middle Eastern theater around the clock. As Doug puts it, "chances are this is just a pause in hostilities — everybody's taking the opportunity to reload." From there the conversation goes exactly where you'd hope it would. We get into Pete Hegseth's now-infamous "prayer breakfast," where the Secretary of Defense appears to have lifted Samuel L. Jackson's Ezekiel 25:17 monologue from Pulp Fiction and delivered it to a room of bewildered military brass as scripture. Doug's review was not kind: "It was kind of weak and mealy-mouthed the way Hegseth delivered those lines." His proposed fix? "Next time he ought to put a red bandana around his forehead à la Rambo, strip his shirt off to expose his war-like tattoos, and then deliver it with proper fervor." Elsewhere in a wide-ranging episode: Why coin collecting is dead and what that says about how we think about money Doug's characteristically diplomatic take on Ireland's troubles The Argentine citizenship-by-investment program that was, then wasn't Whether traveling as an American is about to get uncomfortable again (Doug remembers the Vietnam-era Canadian-flag-on-the-backpack trick) Human cloning, Multiplicity, and the curious case of Adolfo Cambiasso cloning his best polo ponies — which rather settles the question of whether someone, somewhere, has tried it on people An honest look at our private placement track record: the big winners, and the ones that aren't As Doug reminds us near the end: "We're just leaves drifting down the river of time. We shouldn't concern ourselves with these things — they're above our pay grade anyway." Have a great weekend, Matt

    Narrative Warfare, Iran, and the Looming Energy Shock

    Doug and the host discuss how a gloomy zeitgeist has flipped inspirational "hard work pays off" stories into reminders that most people aren't Will Smith, reflecting young people's uncertainty and widening social division that could escalate beyond clashing ideas. They argue an "information war" now relies less on narrative control than flooding the public with competing, plausible, comforting, and gratifying stories that can't be proven, deepening confusion and polarization. The conversation centers on the escalating conflict with Iran, heated disagreements among investors and military professionals, and the market implications of a U.S. blockade and a Strait of Hormuz shutdown, which they warn could trigger fuel shortages, rapid economic contraction, bankruptcies, more money printing, inflation, and a potential bond-market panic, while noting potential geopolitical winners like Israel and possibly China. 00:00 Confusing Times Setup 01:05 Pop Culture Gloom Shift 03:05 Youth Outlook And Civil Strife 05:57 Iran Conflict Sparks Division 07:19 Markets View And Escalation Risks 11:40 Narrative Warfare Flooding 14:18 Why We Believe Stories 18:12 Extraordinary Claims Need Proof 20:31 Iran Narratives And Religion 22:25 No Shared Western Story 23:13 Heroes and Moral Vacuum 24:19 Drug Boats and Rules 25:48 Iran Blowback and Propaganda 30:36 Blockade Escalation Scenarios 33:38 Strait Closure Economic Shock 35:40 Markets Mispricing the Crisis 38:23 Trump Knew the Stakes 41:01 China Advantage and Bond Panic 43:44 Wrap Up and Prepare

They then take subscriber questions on energy, arguing coal is undervalued, natural gas is extremely cheap versus oil (about $2.50 vs $100, shifting the usual 6:1 ratio to ~40:1), and explaining LNG's transport constraints and EQT's sensitivity to gas prices. They discuss mass migration into the U.S. from Latin America, speculate on motives, criticize Canadian political "wokeness," address nuclear-war risk and Argentina/Israel relocation rumors, touch on pensions' fragility, explain their Crisis Investing newsletter process, mention a VIP private placement called NAQI (earbud control tech), and share views on trusts. 00:00 Aliens and Disappearances 01:05 Art Bell Memories 02:23 Congress UFO Clip 04:47 Disclosure Day Hype 05:29 Do the Math on Life 08:23 Sci Fi and TV Picks 10:45 Energy Question Coal 12:51 Coal Gas and LNG 15:33 Migration Debate 20:33 Canada NDP Clip Setup 21:12 Canada Genocide Claim 22:52 Trans Surgery And Suicide 24:00 WEF Momentum And War Fears 25:31 Israel To Argentina Rumor 27:26 Technocracy Rabbit Holes 28:04 EQT Natural Gas Selloff 29:03 Shipping Insurance And Straits 31:28 Oil Shock And Australia 33:14 Rebel Vocalists Talk 34:56 Pensions And Dependency Risks 37:25 Newsletter Workflow And Picks 38:19 Private Tech Placement 40:16 Trusts Pros And Cons 42:43 Closing Thoughts And Farewell

    Americas Economic Future

    Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Doug and Matt discuss a podcast featuring MIT professor Ted Postel, agreeing the Iran war is an escalating catastrophe with unavoidable, chaotic economic consequences driven by higher petroleum prices. They answer subscriber questions on how rising diesel impacts mining all-in sustaining costs (estimated 10–25%), how to identify viable new business ideas by solving real problems, and how Doug would start investing today by focusing on currently cheap resource stocks while avoiding becoming a one-trick pony. Doug recounts a few tense travel encounters (Haiti and Congo), outlines private placement risks (illiquidity and funding needy companies) and rewards (discounts and warrants), and says no clear asymmetric trade exists without reliable on-the-ground information. They cover music royalties, Brazil travel and bureaucracy, vaccine skepticism, corn's subsidies versus a bullish ag view, draft avoidance uncertainty, 401(k) dilemmas, dollar devaluation and gold, numismatics demand issues, and Hydrograph as a high-risk speculation where taking a "Casey Free Ride" is prudent. 00:00 Subscriber Q&A Kickoff 00:37 Podcast Takeaways on War 02:20 Economic Shock and Energy Reality 05:11 Mining Costs vs Diesel Spike 06:23 Finding a Business Pain Point 07:42 Starting Investing Today 09:18 Dangerous Travel Stories 13:42 Private Placements Risks 15:23 Asymmetric Bets in Iran War 18:08 Professor Jiang on Long War 21:11 Music Royalties and Dire Straits 22:17 Brazil Outlook and Regions 23:10 Brazil Travel Reality 24:23 Visas And Travel Tightening 25:16 Covid Vaccine Skepticism 27:29 Corn Subsidy Machine 30:08 Corn As Investment 32:05 Draft Avoidance Talk 33:45 Protecting 401k Savings 35:39 Dollar Devaluation And Gold 39:10 Numismatics Exit Strategy 40:40 Women And Preparedness 41:39 Buying Hydrograph Shares 42:52 Hydrograph Buy More Guidance 44:24 Free Ride Speculation Lesson 45:30 Wrap Up And Next Week

    DIY War, Oil, and a Market in Denial

    Join us at https://www.crisisinvesting.com The hosts revive a "day in history" segment highlighting William Tyndale's 1523 English Bible translation and argue that Sir Thomas More, though revered as a saint, used authorities to hunt down and execute Tyndale. They then discuss the speaker's recent luncheon talk in Argentina for Rand Paul during his visit, where he said Javier Milei's election is historically important but criticized Milei for not acting like an anarcho-capitalist, citing failures such as not abolishing the central bank, moving Argentina's gold abroad, buying used F-16s, seeking NATO/Ukraine/Israel ties, and keeping foreign exchange controls. They note a $96 homemade MANPADS prototype as evidence of democratized warfare, then assess the US-Iran conflict's changing warfare dynamics, vulnerability of carriers, and risks from Strait of Hormuz disruptions, UAE and Houthi escalation, and attacks on Russian facilities, warning of recession/depression amid rising rates, private credit stress, an AI/data-center bubble, and overvalued markets, while remaining bullish but cautious on gold, gold stocks, and select oil stocks. 00:00 This Day in History Returns 00:24 Tyndale and English Bible 02:48 Saint Thomas More Exposed 04:35 Speech for Rand Paul 05:31 Milei Not Walking Talk 06:45 Gold and Central Bank 08:11 F-16s and NATO Drift 10:52 DIY Manpad and Weapons 12:44 Iran War Lessons 14:21 Carriers and Tankers Vulnerable 15:06 Trump Hegseth and War Spin 19:54 Why War Won't End 20:43 War Versus Energy Shock 22:03 UAE Escalation Risks 23:24 Houthis and Red Sea Chokepoints 24:31 Ukraine Strikes and Blowback 25:48 Iranian Resolve and Retaliation 27:15 Israel and Nuclear Escalation 29:32 Oil Flow and Debt Spiral 31:28 Private Credit and AI Bubble 35:40 Markets in Denial 38:54 Gold and Oil Positioning 40:33 Democratized Warfare Ahead 41:28 Wrap Up and Next Episode

    Special Guest: Kevin Bambrough on HydrogGraph and Nanotech

    Former Sprott CEO Kevin Bambrough on Hydrograph: Fractal Graphene, Nanotech's Breakout Moment Podcast hosts interview Kevin Bambrough, author and former Sprott CEO, about why he became a major shareholder in Hydrograph and why he believes graphene—specifically Hydrograph's turbo-stratic, fractal graphene aggregates—solves key industry problems like clumping and poor dispersion that plagued earlier graphite-derived approaches.   Bambrough recounts his investing background and explains graphene's sought-after properties (strength, conductivity, EMF shielding) and why Hydrograph's purity and SP2 bonding matter for real-world applications. The panel discusses potential use cases across polymers, coatings, tires, construction materials, batteries, semiconductors, and military needs, plus Hydrograph's patent moat and licensing potential. They cover manufacturing via acetylene/oxygen combustion in a chamber, economics such as a stated $250,000/ton price with far lower required loadings, modular "Hyperion" scaling, work with dozens of companies, and catalysts like EPA approvals, a possible Nasdaq listing, and a Texas gas-plant partnership, while noting execution and IP/theft as key risks. 00:00 Meet Kevin Bambrough 00:32 From Computers to Markets 01:57 Sprott Years and Track Record 03:19 Discovering Hydrograph 05:36 Graphene Hype vs Reality 07:46 Why Graphene Matters 11:21 Hydrograph Fractal Advantage 16:06 Sci Fi Use Cases 20:47 AI Accelerates Innovation 23:26 Moat Patents and Monopoly 26:42 Is the Stock a Bubble 30:59 Flow State Deep Research 35:38 Graphene Types and Construction 40:08 How the Graphene Is Made 41:48 Detonation Cycle Basics 42:34 Fractal Graphene Formation 43:58 Pricing And Battery Value 45:57 Polymer Bottles And Low Loading 49:13 Unit Economics And Scaling 51:59 First Customers And Auto Wins 56:24 Texas Gas Plant Expansion 59:16 Risks Patents And Execution 01:08:51 Catalysts Nasdaq And Deals 01:16:00 Final Takeaways And Wrap
