    Tom Hartel's 35 Market Rules That Could Save Your Portfolio

    Tom Hartel is a veteran trader and investor who has spent decades navigating bull markets, bear markets, commodity cycles, and speculative booms.  👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomashartel 📩 Free Substack Newsletter Recording Date 6-24-2026. In this episode, Tom joins Steve Barton to share the investing framework and risk management principles that have allowed him to survive and prosper through multiple market environments. Rather than focusing on specific stock picks, Tom lays out a comprehensive blueprint for protecting capital, avoiding catastrophic mistakes, and building sustainable wealth over time. He explains why investors should limit exposure to any single idea, carefully manage position sizes, diversify across asset classes, and avoid becoming emotionally attached to investments. Drawing from years of experience in equities, commodities, futures, and resource investing, Tom argues that successful investing is far more dependent on discipline and risk control than on finding the next ten-bagger. He also discusses lessons learned from following respected investors such as Rick Rule and highlights the importance of studying long-term trends before they become obvious to the broader market. Throughout the conversation, Tom dives into practical strategies for managing portfolios during both bull and bear markets, including scaling into positions, documenting investment theses, setting profit targets in advance, and using trailing stops to protect gains. The discussion expands into Bitcoin, taxes, leveraged ETFs, options, futures contracts, and the psychological traps that cause investors to abandon their plans at exactly the wrong time. Tom also references insights from the widely followed In Gold We Trust Report and explains why investors should pay close attention to precious metals, commodities, and broader macroeconomic cycles. He warns against blindly following hot tips, chasing momentum during speculative surges, and overtrading during volatile periods. As the episode concludes, Tom emphasizes that investing is a lifelong learning process requiring humility, patience, continuous education, and constant adaptation. His central message is clear: investors who prioritize capital preservation, manage risk relentlessly, and remain emotionally disciplined will be best positioned to benefit from future opportunities across stocks, commodities, precious metals, Bitcoin, and emerging market trends.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ Never risk more than 5% of total net worth on a single investment idea ✅ Capital preservation and avoiding catastrophic losses are more important than finding huge winners ✅ Diversification should extend across asset classes rather than multiple positions in the same sector ✅ Investors should scale into positions, document investment theses, and establish profit targets before buying ✅ Futures, leverage, and leveraged ETFs require strict risk controls due to volatility and decay ✅ Taking profits during market manias and parabolic moves is often more important than maximizing gains   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Welcome To In It To Win It 01:06 Biggest Trading Lessons From Decades In Markets 04:51 Hot Tips Emotions And Best Of Breed Companies 08:10 Bitcoin Tax Losses And Who To Trust 12:00 Why Tom Recommends The In Gold We Trust Report 15:45 Multiple Brokerages And Investment Conferences 21:59 Leveraged ETFs And Semiconductor Trading Risks 25:21 Futures Trading And Commodity Risk Strategies 32:26 How To Handle Silver Parabolas 36:07 Trading Journals Margin And Long Term Success 37:35 Rule Symposium And Premium Segment Preview   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Gold Drops 1.7% And The 4100 Breakdown Could Get Ugly ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I'm breaking down a market that looks ready to push higher in the S&P 500, but underneath the surface, commodities, energy, miners, and Bitcoin are flashing some very different signals. 📩 Free and Premium Newsletter 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series   Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 finished up 0.9% and looks to me like it may be forming a bull flag near the highs, which keeps my bias higher heading into next week. The U.S. dollar gained 1% and broke above the 100.6 level before pulling back, and if that level holds, I think it could keep pressure on commodities. Gold dropped 1.7% after rejecting near 4,400, and now 4,100 is the key line in the sand that could decide whether this is just a pullback or the start of a faster flush lower. I also walk through SpaceX sentiment, the 10-year yield, PHYS buying levels, GDX miner strength, and why the metals market may be giving us a very interesting divergence. Silver fell 2.1% and I think the 50 to 54 range comes into play quickly if gold loses 4,100, while PSLV is sitting near the 20 level and SIL actually gained 2.5% despite weakness in the metal. Copper dipped 0.8%, but I still think it can move higher if it clears 6.70, with 6.90, 7.08, and 7.64 as the next key levels, I'm watching. Uranium continues to look constructive with the term price still at 94, SRUUF up 1.8%, an 11.5% discount available near 18.50, and URNM up 5.3% in what looks like another possible bull flag setup. Oil was the biggest opportunity of the week in my view, with WTI down 10.4%, Brent down 7.4%, and XLE down 6.6%, which is why I started putting capital back to work in select oil companies and service names. I finish by breaking down natural gas up 2.2%, coal's 9.3% pullback in Pacific thermal futures, platinum down 2.3%, nickel down 1.4%, PICK as a core mining ETF, and Bitcoin down 3.5% with my target still around 25,000 to 30,000 before I get aggressive on the long side again.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ The S&P 500 is setting up for a possible move higher after gaining 0.9 percent, with the chart looking like a bull flag near all-time highs. ✅ The U.S. dollar gained 1 percent and may keep pressure on commodities if it holds support around the 100.6 level on the DXY. ✅ Gold fell 1.7 percent and now must defend 4,100, because a break below that level could trigger a fast drop toward 3,900 or even deeper support. ✅ Silver dropped 2.1 percent and could quickly fall toward the 50 to 54 range if gold fails to hold its key support level. ✅ Uranium continues to act well with the uranium price up 0.6 percent, SRUUF up 1.8 percent, and URNM up 5.3 percent as the sector builds strength. ✅ Oil's 10.4 percent crash in WTI looks like a buying opportunity to me, while Bitcoin's 3.5 percent drop still points to more downside toward my 25,000 to 30,000 target zone.   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Welcome To Monday Market Moves 00:16 S&P 500 Bull Flag Setup 03:54 Gold Tests The 4100 Level 06:12 New In It To Win It Travel Channel 10:21 Silver Breakdown Risk 12:08 Copper Breakout Targets 15:29 Uranium Miners And SRUUF Discount 18:12 Oil Crash And Energy Stock Opportunity 22:55 Natural Gas Producers Setup 23:50 Coal Pullback And Miner Levels 25:37 Platinum And Palladium Buying Zones 27:26 Nickel Support And PICK ETF 30:06 Bitcoin Bear Flag Warning   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Gold Crashes 2.9% While Uranium Sets Up The Next Big Rally ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down the biggest developments across the S&P 500, precious metals, uranium, energy, base metals, and Bitcoin after a volatile week that created several potential opportunities for investors. 📩 Free and Premium Newsletter 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series  Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 gained 0.7% and continues to show signs of resilience, while the U.S. dollar remains caught between a longer-term bearish trend and a short-term bullish setup. Gold fell 2.9% and silver dropped 1.6%, pushing both metals into key support zones that I believe could represent some of the best buying opportunities we have seen in months. I also discuss why the recent surge of investor interest in SpaceX may be a warning sign and explain how sentiment often reaches extremes near important turning points in the market. I then dive into the sectors that I believe offer the most compelling risk versus reward setups going forward. Copper gained 2.6% and continues to show technical strength, while uranium remains one of my highest conviction long-term themes as physical uranium trades at a significant discount to underlying value despite higher future contract prices. Oil fell 6.6% and energy stocks remain under pressure, while coal presented another attractive entry opportunity following a sharp pullback. I also examine platinum, palladium, nickel, and Bitcoin, highlighting the key technical levels that could determine their next major moves. Despite recent volatility across the commodity sector, I remain constructive on precious metals, uranium, and select resource investments as investors position for what could be the next phase of the commodity bull market.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ S&P 500 gained 0.7% and held key support near the 50-day moving average with an upside bias toward resistance around 7,600. ✅ U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.3% but remains in a longer-term bear structure while showing short-term bullish momentum toward 100.6 resistance. ✅ Gold dropped 2.9% and Silver fell 1.6%, creating what I view as attractive buying opportunities despite uncertainty around whether the final bottom is in place. ✅ Copper advanced 2.6% while COPX surged 6.6%, reinforcing the bullish outlook after support held near key technical levels. ✅ Uranium was nearly flat at -0.1%, but physical uranium vehicles are trading at roughly a 10% discount, presenting a potentially attractive long-term opportunity. ✅ Oil declined 6.6%, Natural Gas fell 2.3%, Platinum dropped 4.8%, Nickel lost 4.2%, and Bitcoin gained 0.6%, with several markets approaching major technical decision points.   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 Market Outlook 02:02 SpaceX Investor Mania 02:42 U.S. Dollar Forecast 04:02 Treasury Yield Analysis 05:21 Gold Pullback Opportunity 10:14 Silver Market Setup 12:53 Copper Strength Returns 14:22 Uranium Discount Opportunity 18:02 Oil Market Breakdown 22:18 Natural Gas Outlook 24:10 Coal Sector Rebound 25:04 Platinum And Palladium 28:41 Nickel Technical Setup 30:14 Bitcoin Bearish Signals 32:32 Final Market Takeaways   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    The Commodity Bull Market Is Just Getting Started ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down one of the most volatile weeks we have seen across financial markets in recent months. 📩 Free and Premium Newsletter 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series  Recording Date 6-5-2026. With the S&P 500 falling 2.6%, the VIX exploding 40%, gold dropping 5%, silver plunging 8.9%, and Bitcoin losing more than 17%, investors were hit with a broad risk-off move across nearly every major asset class. At the same time, the U.S. dollar strengthened, bond yields pushed higher, and several commodity sectors approached critical technical levels. In this episode, I explain what caused the damage, where the best opportunities may be developing, and how I am positioning for the weeks ahead. While the recent selloff has created plenty of uncertainty, it has also begun creating opportunities in several sectors that I continue to monitor closely. Uranium fundamentals are improving, coal remains in a strong long-term trend, and many commodity-related equities are approaching levels where risk and reward become increasingly attractive. The key over the coming weeks will be identifying which support levels hold and which sectors continue attracting capital despite broader market weakness. As always, I will continue tracking the charts, updating my positions, and sharing the setups that offer the best potential upside as the next major market move begins to unfold.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ The S&P 500 fell 2.6% while the VIX jumped 40%, signaling a sharp rise in market fear and volatility. ✅ The U.S. dollar gained 1.1% as bond yields moved higher, adding pressure to risk assets. ✅ Gold dropped 5.0% and silver fell 8.9%, with both metals breaking important support levels. ✅ Uranium rose 0.7% and term prices reached $94 per pound, even as uranium stocks sold off. ✅ Oil gained 2.8%, natural gas slipped 1.2%, and coal rose as much as 5.3%, making coal one of the week's strongest commodities. ✅ Platinum fell 6.8%, nickel declined 2.0%, and Bitcoin plunged 17.3% as selling pressure intensified across alternative assets.   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Welcome To Monday Market Moves 00:16 S&P 500 And VIX Market Outlook 02:50 Gold Breaks Below Key Support 06:49 Silver Selloff And Miner Opportunities 11:57 Copper Tests Critical Support 14:41 Uranium Fundamentals Strengthen 19:32 Oil Market Outlook 21:25 Natural Gas At A Key Inflection Point 23:25 Coal Sector Momentum Builds 24:36 Platinum And Palladium Correction 25:59 Nickel Bullish Setup Takes Shape 27:38 Bitcoin Breakdown And Price Targets 30:05 Final Thoughts And Premium Updates   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    Coal Surges 15.6% While Nickel Nears a Massive Breakout ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I break down why stocks are hitting new highs while warning signs are quietly emerging across commodities, energy, and Bitcoin. 📩 Free and Premium Newsletter 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series  Recording Date 5-0-2026. The S&P 500 gained another 1.4% while the VIX fell 8.4%, signaling growing investor confidence, but beneath the surface I'm seeing several markets begin to flash caution signals. Gold bounced perfectly off its 200-day moving average, copper remains one of my favorite long-term commodity themes, and uranium continues to offer opportunities for patient investors willing to buy when sentiment cools. At the same time, silver, platinum, uranium equities, and Bitcoin are all starting to display bearish technical patterns that suggest we could see more volatility and lower prices before the next major move higher. Energy was the biggest story of the week as oil plunged 9.5% after breaking down from a major chart pattern, while natural gas rallied into resistance and coal stocks continued to strengthen. I walk through the key levels I'm watching across commodities, mining stocks, precious metals, and crypto, explaining where I think the best risk-reward opportunities are developing. While I remain bullish on the long-term outlook for resource investments, many sectors appear to be working through corrections that could create even better entry points in the weeks ahead. As always, I focus on probabilities, technical setups, and where I'm looking to deploy capital next as we head into another important week for the markets.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ S&P 500 Gains 1.4% Despite Rising Complacency ✅ VIX Drops 8.4% As Fear Continues To Fade ✅ Gold Rises 1.5% After Key 200 Day MA Bounce ✅ Silver Falls 0.4% As Bear Flag Pattern Emerges ✅ Copper Up 0.2% While Uranium Remains Rangebound ✅ Oil Crashes 9.5% And Bitcoin Slides 4.8%   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 Market Outlook 01:02 VIX Fear Index Analysis 02:46 U.S. Dollar And Bond Yields 04:39 Gold Market Setup 07:06 Gold Allocation Strategy And GDX 11:09 Silver Breakdown Risks 15:02 Copper And Copper Miners 17:57 Uranium Market Outlook 23:05 Oil Breakdown And Energy Stocks 27:12 Natural Gas Producers 28:38 Coal Market Update 30:50 Platinum And Palladium Outlook 32:38 Nickel Breakout Setup 35:20 Bitcoin Technical Analysis 37:46 Final Thoughts And Market Outlook   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.

    China's Secret Oil Strategy During The Iran War ~ Doomberg

    Doomberg is an energy and geopolitical analyst known for his sharp macro insights and deep understanding of global commodity markets. 👉 Doomberg's Substack 📩 Free Substack Newsletter Recording Date 5-26-2026. In this episode, Doomberg joins Steve Barton to break down the hidden mechanics behind oil markets, strategic petroleum reserves, China's possible secret stockpiling of crude, and why oil prices failed to reach the levels many expected during escalating Middle East tensions. Doomberg explains how governments actively intervene to suppress speculative oil spikes and why the global energy system proved far more resilient than many analysts predicted. The discussion also explores how China may have quietly accumulated enormous oil reserves while global markets misunderstood demand trends for years. Throughout the conversation, Doomberg challenges conventional narratives around peak oil, energy scarcity, and commodity investing. Doomberg also dives into the growing danger of attacks on global energy infrastructure and warns that the normalization of pipeline sabotage and refinery strikes could permanently reshape geopolitical stability. He argues that the post-World War II international order is being tested as sanctions, military escalation, and infrastructure warfare become more common among major powers. The episode expands into discussions around sulfur shortages, helium markets, aircraft carrier vulnerability, and why modern warfare is changing rapidly through drones and missile technology. Doomberg emphasizes that markets consistently adapt faster than panic headlines suggest, while also cautioning that long term geopolitical risks are increasing.

    Copper Miners Could Outperform S&P 500 By 300% Says Steve Barton ~ Monday Market Moves

    In this week's Monday Market Moves, I broke down why the S&P 500 may be losing momentum despite gaining 0.9% as weakening RSI signals, a near double top, and falling volatility could point to a short-term market pullback. 📩 Free and Premium Newsletter 📩 Substack 👉 Technical Analysis Video Series Recording Date 5-22-2026. I also explained why the U.S. dollar may continue strengthening while bond yields cooled after recent spikes, easing fears of a runaway move higher in Treasury yields. Across precious metals, I discussed why gold down 0.9% and silver down 1.7% still appear vulnerable to additional downside before reaching stronger long-term buying zones, while platinum and palladium continued showing mixed technical setups. I also highlighted why copper remains one of the strongest long-term opportunities after gaining 1.4%, with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 significantly if the breakout structure continues holding. Uranium, coal, nickel, oil, natural gas, and diversified mining equities were all discussed as major long term hard asset opportunities despite short term volatility and possible washout selloffs creating better entries. I finished the episode by explaining why Bitcoin could still move lower toward 72000 while emphasizing disciplined technical analysis, staggered buying strategies, and focusing on long term commodity and energy trends instead of short-term market noise.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ S&P 500 up 0.9% but weakening RSI signals a likely short-term pullback near major resistance ✅ VIX fell 9.3% while the U.S. dollar pushed toward key breakout levels above 99.5 ✅ Gold dropped 0.9% with Steve Barton targeting a possible move toward 4100 before turning bullish ✅ Silver fell 1.7% as bearish chart patterns point to further downside pressure ✅ Copper gained 1.4% with copper miners potentially outperforming the S&P 500 by 300% ✅ Uranium coal energy and mining sectors remain long term bullish while Bitcoin risks falling toward 72000   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 S&P 500 RSI Warning And Dollar Outlook 03:28 Gold Downtrend And 4100 Target 07:57 Silver Bear Flag And Pullback Risks 11:30 Copper Breakout And Mining Stocks 16:58 Uranium Washout Buying Opportunity 19:58 Oil Triangle Pattern And Energy Outlook 24:45 Natural Gas Weakness And Support Levels 25:36 Coal Stocks Long Term Bullish Setup 27:46 Platinum Weakness And Palladium Opportunity 29:07 Nickel Breakout And Mining ETF Strategy 31:24 Bitcoin Pullback Toward 72000 32:00 Final Thoughts And Technical Analysis Strategy   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.
