Publisher’s Note: We have been pounding the table on our performance in Private Placement Intel. The copper placement we did in July with Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips is already up 200% (with warrants to buy more). The uranium development deal we did in August is up 345% (with warrants to buy more). This week, members are participating in a brand new gold development and exploration company IPO that has a head-start thanks to an existing high-grade gold resource at its flagship property in the Yukon. Learn more about Private Placement Intel here: https://bit.ly/42r3u4G The deadline to participate is October 8th.

The free version of the 336th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.

Here’s what was covered:

Macro Musings - The week opened with a government shutdown — the first since 2018 — and both Nick and Gerardo called it what it is: political theater. They reminded listeners that shutdowns always end the same way — with a last-minute deal — and that neither party has any real intention of changing course. Both sides feed the division while the debt grows, and the middle class pays the price. Despite the chaos, markets marched higher. The S&P 500 and gold both hit new all-time highs. Silver closed September at its highest monthly level ever, above its 2011 peak. Rates and the dollar stabilized, the VIX sank below 17, and central banks kept buying gold. As Nick put it, “If you’re doing life right, you don’t even notice the government’s shut down.”

Market Takes - The flow of capital into mining exploded. In just 24 hours, billions of dollars were raised — from $30 million financings at Guanajuato Silver and Oh My Gold to $400 million at NexGen. Gold flirted with $3,900, silver topped $48, and copper closed in on $5. Prospector Metals stunned the sector with a 13.79 g/t gold and 1.84% copper hit over 44 meters, sending its stock up 300% in a day. Sterling Metals also soared on fresh discoveries. Both are reminders that quality exploration still wins in bull markets. Nick and Gerardo cautioned against chasing everything that moves. Many of these companies failed multiple times before finally hitting. Success in this sector takes skill, capital markets discipline, and patience. They also noted the surge of new deals coming to market — private companies preparing to list, rollbacks merging into new shells, and long-quiet teams finally ready to deploy assets. “Don’t think the shirts on the shelf are all you’ve got. New ones are being sewn right now.”

Bizarro Banter - The duo wrapped the public portion by turning from markets to Main Street — and specifically to Spokane. Nick shared how rising taxes, a ballooning budget deficit, and unchecked homelessness are driving local frustration. After promising that last year’s hikes would close the city’s shortfall, the mayor is now proposing another sales tax increase to fund a new jail — a $1.2 billion plan. It’s a microcosm of the national picture: wasteful spending, broken promises, and a middle class squeezed by policies that never cut costs, only raise taxes. The snake is eating its own tail.
