Recording Date 7-22-2026. In this episode, Rick answers dozens of audience questions covering gold, copper, oil, lithium, uranium, royalty companies, junior miners, and portfolio construction while sharing the valuation framework he has developed over decades of investing. Together we discuss Seabridge Gold and the potential KSM transaction, Wheaton Precious Metals, Franco-Nevada, Triple Flag, OR Royalties, Schlumberger, Ivanhoe Mines, Sovereign Metals, ReconAfrica, Riverside Resources, Bravo Mining, Collective Mining, Magna Mining, Luca Mining, and many other companies that investors are closely watching.
Throughout our conversation, I ask Rick to explain how he separates speculation from investing, why he focuses on three-to-five-year value instead of short-term price action, and why royalty companies remain among his favorite long-term holdings. We also explore his outlook for structural oil shortages beginning around 2029, the enormous future capital requirements for the copper industry, concerns surrounding direct lithium extraction, prospect generator investing, geopolitical risks, and the importance of disciplined portfolio management. Rick repeatedly emphasizes risk versus reward, patience, and buying quality assets at meaningful discounts while avoiding emotional investing and short-term market noise.

✅ Seabridge Gold remains deeply undervalued.
✅ Wheaton offers strong long-term growth.
✅ Oil shortages could emerge by 2029.
