Hey Folks
I sat down with Tom Luongo on the latest episode of his Competent Man Podcast to break down gold, geopolitics, and power
This is a direct conversation on how global leverage actually works and how investors should think about it.
Topics discussed:
* Gold’s role in global power dynamics
* U.S. military influence and policy strategy
* Trump’s negotiating framework and leverage
* The overlap between civilian and military assets
* How modern conflict reshapes financial markets
* What investors are missing about real power
* Positioning portfolios in a geopolitical world
Key idea from Tom:“Who actually has the ability to enforce their will on the world?”
If you’re trying to connect geopolitics to markets, this is worth your time.

He watched an industry be created by government fiat and destroyed in the same manner.He ran for Florida House once and got 2.7% of the vote on Guy Fawkes Day and says, "I've since grown up a lot."Then he spent 5+ years solving the puzzle of an electroless Nickel-Boron coating that has intriguing wear-resistance properties. Too bad, the coating was better than the company's business model.Today, he is the publisher of the Gold Goats ‘n Guns Newsletter, in which he attempts to connect the false narratives of geopolitics to viable long-term investment theses.As for politics, his position is well-known through his past writings at Lewrockwell.com, Seeking Alpha, and the aforementioned erstwhile blogs.To sum up:
"Individuals are the only people with enough knowledge about their own lives to have a hope of making the right decisions for themselves, and no amount of guidance or central planning can help that process along."He built the house he lives in and raises goats and milks them.In short, he says, "I'm a libertarian who distrusts all human organizations larger than a two-handed game of poker."Lastly, He states, "I own a few guns."
