Recorded on 4-17-2026. I walk through a surprising 4.5% surge in the S&P 500 that pushed us to new all-time highs, completely invalidating my previous downside expectation. At the same time, the U.S. dollar continues to weaken under heavy resistance while yields show a potential setup for higher moves ahead. Across commodities, I highlight continued strength in silver and copper, early bullish signals in uranium, and emerging breakouts in nickel, all pointing toward a broader commodities-driven macro trend.

From there, I dig deeper into tactical positioning and what I expect next. Gold is showing resistance near key levels while silver is outperforming and approaching a potential breakout. Copper is consolidating just below major resistance with strong upside potential, and uranium continues to strengthen as global energy security concerns grow. In energy markets, oil shows short-term bearish patterns while natural gas forms a textbook double bottom reversal. I close by emphasizing caution despite bullish momentum, as I believe we may be entering a blow-off top scenario in equities and that holding extra cash could be critical for the next major opportunity.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ S&P 500 up 4.5% hitting new all-time highs with resistance near 7150 and 7400 ✅ U.S. dollar down 0.5% with heavy resistance signaling continued weakness ✅ Gold up 1.9% facing resistance near 5050 to 5100 with support near 4000 ✅ Silver up 7% outperforming gold with potential breakout toward 90 ✅ Copper up 3.9% consolidating below 6.15 with upside toward 6.58 highs ✅ Uranium up 1.8% with ~10% gains and 80.5M pounds removed from supply

Recording Date 4-16-2026. In this episode, Rick breaks down why copper is entering a structural supply crisis after decades of underinvestment and why this trend could drive massive gains over the next decade. The discussion spans uranium, mining equities, and global energy dynamics, giving viewers a clear roadmap of where capital could flow next. Rule also highlights key companies and jurisdictions, including Argentina's resurgence and emerging opportunities across the mining sector. This episode sets the stage for one of the most important commodity cycles in modern history.

Rick outlines a potential global liquidity crunch driven by geopolitical tensions and energy disruptions. He warns that oil markets are only pricing in anticipated shortages, not actual ones, which could lead to extreme price spikes if supply routes remain constrained. At the same time, he explains why he is raising cash despite being bullish long-term, emphasizing liquidity as the ultimate defense during market stress. Uranium remains a strong long-term play, with structural demand driven by energy security and nuclear adoption, though near-term consolidation is expected. The episode closes with actionable investing principles, including avoiding speculation based on hope and preparing a disciplined shopping list for future opportunities.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Copper supply deficit is unavoidable and prices must rise to ration demand ✅ Uranium demand surge is driven by energy security and nuclear adoption ✅ Argentina is emerging as a top-tier mining jurisdiction after political shift ✅ Oil markets are only pricing expectations not real shortages yet ✅ Holding cash is a strategic hedge against liquidity crises and market crashes ✅ Successful investing requires eliminating positions based purely on hope

Recording Date 4-13-2026. In this episode, Rick explains how rising oil and LNG prices are being driven by anticipated shortages rather than actual supply depletion, warning that a prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could send prices significantly higher. The discussion also highlights second-order effects already emerging, including fertilizer shortages and the growing strategic importance of uranium as countries rethink energy security.

Rick connects these macro pressures to broader economic risks, arguing that higher energy costs are already contributing to a global slowdown. He then shifts to opportunities, outlining why uranium could benefit in the near term and why copper remains one of the most compelling long-term investments due to decades of underinvestment and structural supply deficits. The conversation wraps with a deep dive into how to evaluate copper companies and why high-quality, long-life assets will be the biggest winners in the coming commodity cycle.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Energy markets are pricing fear not shortages but real supply shocks could send prices much higher

✅ Strait of Hormuz disruption risks triggering cascading effects across energy and supply chains

✅ Fertilizer shortages are emerging as a hidden risk to future crop yields and food supply

✅ Uranium demand is set to rise as countries prioritize energy security and restart reactors

✅ Rising energy costs are already acting as a drag on the global economy

✅ Copper remains a long-term inevitability trade driven by structural supply deficits

Recorded on 4-10-2026. I walk through the S&P 500 rally of 3.6% as it breaks above the 200-day moving average, along with a sharp drop in the VIX and continued weakness in the U.S. dollar. I also discuss how unexpected macro events like a ceasefire influenced price action and why I didn't anticipate that move. While the recent strength looks bullish on the surface, I explain why my short-term bias is actually leaning toward a pullback. I focus heavily on key technical levels that I'm watching closely across major asset classes.

I then shift into commodities and crypto where I see some of the most interesting opportunities developing. I highlight strength in gold, silver, and especially copper, where supply constraints could drive prices much higher in the coming years. At the same time, I break down the sharp 13.4% drop in oil and why I believe the downside is more likely to continue. I also explain why natural gas and coal are weakening due to oversupply dynamics. Finally, I cover Bitcoin's 5.8% move higher and why I expect resistance near 67,000 to trigger profit taking, even as the broader trend remains constructive.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ S&P 500 up 3.6% breaking above 200 day with resistance turning support near 6,662 and downside bias next week

✅ VIX down nearly 20% breaking trendline with expected bounce near 18 signaling volatility return

✅ U.S. dollar down 1.5% breaking key support with high probability of continued weakness

✅ Gold up 2.3% approaching resistance near 5,000 with expected range between 4,400 and 4,800

✅ Silver up 4.9% outperforming gold but facing resistance near 50 day with range between 70 and 83

✅ Copper up 5.4% breaking above 50 day with upside momentum despite resistance near 6.10

✅ Uranium up 0.7% spot with term prices at 91.50 showing strength but near term pullback risk

✅ Oil WTI down 13.4% forming bear flag with high probability of breakdown and continued downside

✅ Natural gas down 3.2% breaking support with bearish continuation likely due to oversupply

✅ Platinum up 4.1% breaking downtrend while palladium up 2.2% both improving technically

✅ Nickel up 0.7% forming bullish pennant with tightening range signaling breakout potential

✅ Bitcoin up 5.8% with upside toward 67,000 but strong resistance likely to trigger rejection

Michael Oliver is a veteran technical analyst and founder of Momentum Structural Analysis who has spent decades identifying major turning points across global markets. In this conversation, he lays out a powerful macro thesis that challenges headline-driven investing and instead focuses on long-term momentum structures.

Recording Date 4-09-2026. In this episode, he delivers a bold and highly focused thesis on silver, arguing that the metal has entered a rare structural breakout phase. He explains that a key signal triggered in November marked the beginning of a powerful move driven by both momentum and silver's relationship to gold. Oliver highlights that similar setups in history have led to explosive, fast-moving price expansions. This sets the stage for what he believes could be one of the most dramatic moves in any asset class.

Oliver builds the case that silver could surge toward $300 to $500 in a short period, not over years but within a few quarters, driven by a parabolic repricing similar to past commodity breakouts like copper. He emphasizes that silver is no longer lagging gold and has entered a phase where it typically outperforms aggressively. At the same time, he warns that the stock market is quietly forming a major top, with a decline likely to become evident by late summer. As capital rotates out of equities, commodities led by silver are positioned to benefit the most. The episode concludes with a clear message that investors are underestimating both the speed and magnitude of the coming move in silver.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Silver triggered a major structural breakout in November signaling a new phase ✅ Historical patterns suggest parabolic moves can occur within just a few quarters ✅ Price targets of 300 to 500 are based on prior commodity expansions and range breakouts ✅ Silver is shifting from lagging gold to significantly outperforming it ✅ Stock market is in a topping phase similar to 2000 and 2008 ✅ Capital rotation into commodities is already underway and accelerating

Recording Date 4-07-2026. We discussed his disciplined approach to investing, how he evaluates mining companies, and why understanding risk is more important than chasing returns. I also asked him about preparing for black swan events, and he explained why having conviction in your holdings and keeping cash on hand can make all the difference when markets turn volatile.

We then dove into gold stocks, royalty companies, and some of the most talked-about names in the mining space, with Jordan sharing why valuation risk is increasing despite strong commodity prices. He explained why he prefers royalty companies for better downside protection, how he views opportunities like Royal Gold, and what risks investors may be underestimating in large mining projects. Toward the end, we explored macro developments including oil shocks and geopolitical tensions, and Jordan shared his perspective on how these could impact markets. He also surprised me with his take on certain big tech companies now starting to look like long-term value plays.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Investors should only hold assets they are confident keeping during market crashes ✅ Holding 20 percent cash allows aggressive buying during major drawdowns ✅ Gold miners carry significant downside risk when gold prices correct ✅ Royalty companies offer better risk-adjusted exposure than traditional miners ✅ Oil markets may be severely underpricing supply shocks and geopolitical risk ✅ Large tech companies are starting to resemble long-term value investments

Recorded on 4-4-2026. I highlight how the S&P 500 bounced 3.4% and is now pushing into major resistance near the 20 day and 200 day moving averages. I also point out the sharp 23.1% drop in volatility and explain why despite that move the broader trend in the VIX still favors higher levels. I dive into the U.S. dollar sitting at a critical level near 100 and why I believe a breakdown could be coming which would support commodities.

I then shift into the key trades and setups I am watching closely right now. I explain why gold's 4.2% move is likely to stay range bound in the short term while silver continues to form a bearish structure despite recent strength. I break down oil's massive 11.9% rally but show why futures markets and divergence suggest lower prices ahead. I also highlight uranium copper and nickel as strong longer-term opportunities driven by supply demand imbalances while maintaining a cautious short-term outlook across most commodities. Finally, I walk through Bitcoin where I see a slight upside bias but with low conviction as it approaches key resistance levels.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ S&P 500 up 3.4% rebounding into resistance near 20 day and 200 day averages around $6,650 ✅ VIX down 23.1% but still in an uptrend with bias pointing higher next week ✅ U.S. dollar flat near 100 level with increasing likelihood of breakdown and weakness ahead ✅ Gold up 4.2% facing resistance at $4,825 with 60% probability of range between $4,400 and $4,825 ✅ Silver up 4.5% but forming bearish flag with downside risk toward 50 to 55 range ✅ Copper up 1.6% with bearish pennant suggesting short term pullback despite long term bullish demand ✅ Uranium up 1.1% spot and 5.6% in Sprott trust with continued accumulation near 200 day average ✅ Oil WTI up 11.9% but futures curve and divergence point to likely downside reversal ✅ Natural gas down 7.1% breaking lower with bearish bias continuing into next week ✅ Platinum up 5.1% breaking downtrend with improving bullish structure after 200 day bounce ✅ Nickel down 0.7% forming bullish pennant with high probability breakout to upside ✅ Bitcoin up 2.1% with low conviction but slight upside bias toward resistance near $68,650

Recording Date 3-30-2026. In this episode, he lays out a stark and urgent macro view shaped by geopolitical escalation and energy supply disruptions. He argues that the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea dynamics now dominate global markets, warning that the loss of critical oil flows could destabilize the entire world economy. Polomny frames the current situation as part of a broader era of systemic volatility tied to geopolitical conflict and fifth-generation warfare.

He explains how constrained energy flows are already triggering cascading effects across fuel, fertilizer, and food systems, with severe consequences for global supply chains and emerging economies. Polomny highlights how oil shortages, rising fertilizer costs, and disrupted planting cycles could lead to widespread economic pain and even political instability. From an investment perspective, he emphasizes that this is no longer a traditional market but a high-risk trading environment driven by headlines and policy shifts. He concludes that while short-term conditions are dangerous, major long-term opportunities will emerge, particularly in commodities and hard assets once the crisis stabilizes.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ The Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea disruptions are now the most critical drivers of global markets✅ A loss of 10 to 20 percent of global oil supply could halt economic activity worldwide✅ Fertilizer and energy shortages may trigger a global food crisis and political instability✅ Current market conditions are highly volatile and favor traders over long-term investors✅ Gold is declining due to rising real interest rates and liquidity demand, not fundamentals✅ Long-term outlook favors commodities and gold due to monetary expansion and debt growth

Recorded on 3-27-2026. I explain why I believe the S&P 500 is breaking down technically after falling 2.1 percent and why I think we could still see a move toward $6,100 or even $6,000 in the near term. I also cover the 16 percent jump in the VIX, the move in the dollar, and the steady rise in the 10-year yield as signals that fear and pressure are still building under the surface. Throughout the first half of the episode, I make the case that weakness in stocks is becoming more pronounced while selective opportunities are beginning to emerge in hard assets.

I spend a big part of this episode on gold because I believe its recent touch of the 200-day moving average is a major event in an ongoing bull market and could become an important long-term buying signal. I also explain why silver may bounce early next week even though I still expect another correction before the next major push higher. Beyond precious metals, I stay constructive on uranium, where I believe current levels are attractive for both physical uranium exposure and uranium miners, while oil remains the most conflicted market on my screen because bearish technicals are clashing with bullish geopolitical fundamentals. I close by warning that Bitcoin still looks vulnerable to me, with support near $62,000, resistance near $76,000, and a broader structure that suggests more downside may still be ahead.

Recording Date 3-24-2026. In this episode, David explains how recent moves in gold, silver, and oil reflect deeper structural changes rather than short-term noise. Drawing from decades of experience studying market cycles and investor psychology, Skarica highlights why he moved heavily into cash and defensive positioning. He also shares how sentiment, speculation, and global liquidity are driving unusual behavior across asset classes. This episode sets the stage for a potential turning point in markets.

Skarica dives deeper into the implications of a possible equity market correction, arguing that gold and silver may continue consolidating before their next major breakout. He outlines a scenario where rising oil prices and persistent deficits force central banks into a difficult position between inflation and recession. According to him, a liquidity crisis could trigger aggressive monetary easing, which would ultimately fuel a powerful rally in precious metals. He also emphasizes structural issues like declining foreign demand for U.S. debt and geopolitical instability reshaping energy markets. The conversation concludes with tactical insights on positioning, highlighting selective re-entry into oversold assets while maintaining caution.

Key Insights in this episode

✅ Skarica moved 70 to 75 percent into cash expecting a market shakeout driven by geopolitical risk✅ S&P 500 key breakdown level near 6500 could trigger accelerated downside and volatility spike✅ Gold and silver may decline further short term due to liquidity stress before a major breakout✅ Massive US deficits and rising debt costs remain the strongest long-term bullish driver for gold✅ Oil prices may be artificially suppressed despite tight physical supply and geopolitical tensions✅ Copper and energy transition demand could rise despite recession due to EV and infrastructure shifts
