Famed resource speculator Rick Rule shares how he is navigating a decade he expects to be defined by hard math and tighter margins for error.

Rule’s view: U.S. federal obligations are too large to reconcile without eroding the dollar’s purchasing power – so investors should expect inflation to do more of the work than policy.

Rick explains why he holds gold to preserve purchasing power, not to chase gains, and why he keeps meaningful cash despite negative real yields: liquidity is the tool that lets him act when panic creates value. He sees a durable bull market in precious metals, while broader natural resources may face near‑term economic softness.

Rick pushes back on U.S.-centric thinking. He points to structural demand from developing economies and AI‑driven electricity needs that support long‑term cases for energy and copper, with nuclear poised to play a bigger role as restarts and saves matter more than new builds in the immediate term.

Through it all, his message is practical: yesterday’s tailwinds are gone. Preparation, global awareness, and clear-thinking matter more now. For those who are ready, periods of turmoil need not be worrisome.
