Just on time for the accelerating market meltdown, I answered dozens of questions from viewers about what's going on, and what we can do about it. I reiterated my "go to cash, wait for the smash" guidance. I covered gold and silver, of course, as well as uranium, oil, coal, industrial minerals, battery metals, and much more. There are detailed timestamps below, so you can find what interests you the most, without having to listen to the entire two-hour session (after which my voice ran out). I generally dislike making predictions, but so far, my analysis was spot on, and much of this guidance is highly relevant to what's happening in markets now.
