Today, Steve Barton is joined by legendary investor Rick Rule in a high-impact episode of Rule Classroom Plus to explore the explosive dynamics of the unfolding gold bull market. Rule delivers a compelling thesis: we're witnessing the early stages of a monetary and resource-based reset that mirrors the 1970s stagflation era—and the consequences for investors are massive.

In a strategic breakdown of the macroeconomic landscape, Rule warns that rising long-term interest rates, a weakening U.S. dollar, and failed Fed policy are setting the stage for a seismic shift in capital flows. Physical gold, he argues, is now reasserting itself as the dominant safe-haven asset—just as high-quality senior gold equities begin their next leg up.

Rule also unveils details from his 3-part Rule Bootcamp series, with Part 2 spotlighting the "best of the best" gold producers poised to thrive in this environment. Plus, he gives an exclusive preview of the 2025 Natural Resources Investment Symposium—calling it the most valuable resource conference he's ever organized.

This episode is packed with hard-hitting audience Q&A, where Rick addresses opportunities in Sovereign Metals, Equinox, Silvercrest, Aris Mining, and the rising importance of rare earths. If you're navigating inflation, volatility, or looking for the next asymmetric upside, this is essential viewing.
