Episode notes
Silver Follows Then Outpaces Gold
- Silver often lags gold until gold's narrative draws generalist investors into the space.
- Once that happens, silver typically outpaces gold, sometimes escalating at least twice as fast.
Macro Forces Support Precious Metals
- Negative real interest rates and rising unfunded liabilities drive demand for gold as a purchasing-power hedge.
- Rick sees these macro factors as strong long-term support for precious metals.
Investment Demand Moves Silver
- Investment demand, not industrial uses, primarily drives silver bull markets.
- Most silver supply is byproduct or recycling, so price spikes don't reliably increase primary supply.
