We just had a three-hour marathon Q&A session covering the economy, our markets, and many specific metals or minerals. Too much to summarize, so please see the time stamps below for details.

This is my very latest thinking on these subjects. I hope you find value in the recording.
 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Time stamps:

00:00:00 — Welcome

00:01:30 — My outlook today: bullish on gold and silver in the immediate future, then uranium, then oil, then copper and other industrial minerals later.

00:05:00 — Uranium is the exception to my caution about buying industrial minerals plays going into a deepening recession.
