Rick Rule, veteran natural-resource investor, founder of Rule Investment Media, and former President and CEO of Sprott U.S. Holdings, joins me for a wide-ranging Rule Classroom Plus question-and-answer session. 👉 Rule Symposium 2026 👉 Rule Classroom (Free) 👉 Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months) Recording Date 8-6-2026. In this episode, Rick explains why creating more U.S. dollars without additional backing reduces the purchasing power of existing currency and discusses the intervention that strengthened the Japanese yen. We also examine gold's rise, my efforts to move cash into physical bullion, and why U.S. financial institutions report cash transactions above $10,000. Rick shares his own experiences with suspicious activity reports and explains why buying and holding physical gold outside the United States is legal despite increased banking scrutiny. Rick evaluates companies and trends across lithium, copper, uranium, gold, silver, natural gas, royalties, and oilfield services. He warns that lithium is oversupplied and says direct lithium extraction backed by Exxon, Chevron, Occidental, and Berkshire Hathaway could threaten hard-rock producers. Rick remains bullish on copper despite stronger prices than he expected and discusses Marimaca, Founders Metals, Origin Royalties, Agnico Eagle, Equinox Gold, Cameco, Vizsla Silver, Hecla, B2Gold, Cheniere Energy, Texas Pacific Land, and Transocean. He explains why he buys uranium equities on weak days, favors technically strong management teams, values major-miner support for juniors, and concentrates on deposits capable of becoming world-class assets. Key Insights In This Episode ✅ Currency creation weakens existing purchasing power. ✅ Lithium oversupply demands extreme caution. ✅ Copper prices exceeded Rick's expectations. ✅ Rick buys uranium stocks during selloffs. ✅ Major shareholders strengthen junior explorers. ✅ Tier-one assets remain Rick's priority.
