We're witnessing the most profound shift in global finance since the 1970s, and Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck knows why. As a third-generation trendspotter, he shares the family recipe for identifying macro shifts before anyone else notices. His father predicted gold would break free in 1968, and it rocketed from $35 to $800 an ounce. Now Jan sees the next breakout: countries abandoning the dollar, with gold as the only alternative. Learn why this rally could push gold past $10,000, why American investors are making a huge mistake sitting on the sidelines, and how to position your portfolio for this shift. Jan also explains why the AI bubble has already popped (and why that's your buying opportunity), what Treasury Secretary Bessent's interview reveals about the Fed's real plans, and why Bitcoin is “like a teenager” that needs to grow up.
