Rick Rule: The Coming Decade Looks Like the 1970’s, Take Action to Survive It

Tom welcomes back the legendary Rick Rule to the show.  Rick discusses the current state of the gold and his thoughts on the uranium sector. Rick also discusses the U.S. energy sector and notes that the the Canadian oil and gas industry, particularly in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, is potentially even more favorable due to political conditions. He contrasts this with the over-drilled Permian basin in the U.S., suggesting Canada's untapped resources could lead to significant growth if policies become more supportive.  Rick's investment philosophy centers on long-term perspective, resilience, and continuous learning. Rule advises investors to educate themselves, act prudently, and build a strong reputation. He concludes with a quote from Robert Friedland, underscoring the importance of preparation for economic challenges, urging listeners to embrace this journey as an opportunity for growth.  Lastly, Rick highlights his new project Battle Bank, a unique service providing lending products secured by physical gold and silver, catering to those seeking capital access while maintaining prudent savings.
