Rick Rule breaks down one of the most misunderstood truths in the junior resource sector.

When critics say “junior miners lose billions every year,” they are technically right. But they are also missing the point. Lumping thousands of companies into one imaginary balance sheet hides what actually matters. A small minority of disciplined teams create real value, real discoveries, and real returns, while the rest quietly destroy capital.

The problem today is not a lack of opportunity. It is valuation blindness. Strong management teams, quality assets, and junk projects are being priced almost identically. The market is not doing the work, separating signal from noise, or rewarding execution.

That disconnect is dangerous for lazy investors and powerful for anyone willing to think independently. According to Rick Rule, this is exactly how capital mispricing forms and how contrarian opportunities are born.

Garret Goggins explains why institutions are finally waking up to gold miners, and it comes down to one thing: free cash flow.

Gold prices are rising, but costs for large producers have stayed relatively stable. That gap is exploding margins. The result? Record profitability, rapid debt paydowns, aggressive share buybacks, and real shareholder value creation.

These aren’t “speculative miners” anymore. Many are becoming some of the most profitable companies in the world, just as institutional capital begins to chase the trade.

This is how gold miners potentially re-rate as we move further into 2026.

In this conversation, Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA), explains, beginning at 44:00, that in both the 1979 to 1980 silver bull market and the 2010 to 2011 silver bull market, there was a massive correction, but that silver ultimately went much higher.

Recorded on January 27, 2026, Oliver goes on to explain why momentum, not even recent price action, drives major market turns, and shares his latest outlook on gold, silver, and mining stocks. Michael has spent decades studying the structural momentum behaviour of gold, silver, equities, and commodities, often identifying inflection points before they become obvious in prices.

Together, Alex and Michael explore why gold’s recent move represents a structural momentum breakout, how silver historically behaves after gold establishes leadership, and why investors often misread momentum during early and middle stages of bull markets.

In this clip, Garrett Goggins explains why investors are about to be shocked by what’s happening beneath the surface of the gold market.

Gold didn’t just rise; it has soared.

Q4 gold prices came in roughly 20% higher than Q3, and Goggins argues that move hasn’t fully registered yet in mining equities.

As earnings roll in, the market is about to confront something it hasn’t priced properly:

record margins, exploding free cash flow, and robust balance sheets.

This isn’t about hope or speculation.

It’s about arithmetic, and when the numbers hit, miners don’t stay ignored for long.

For nearly a century, the U.S. dollar has sat at the center of the global financial system. But history shows that world reserve currencies rarely last longer than ~100 years, and by that measure, as the US drowns in debt, the dollar may be deep into its final chapter.

Garrett Goggins breaks down why the current monetary system is fracturing, why confidence in the dollar is eroding faster than most investors realize, and why central banks around the world are stockpiling gold, not dollars.

We discuss the accelerating decline in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which has fallen rapidly and recently traded near 96, signaling growing global pressure on the dollar’s purchasing power. At the same time, central banks have been buying gold at record levels, while U.S. debt, deficits, and interest costs continue to compound.

This is not a discussion about short-term market noise. It’s about monetary cycles, reserve currency history, and what happens when trust breaks. Garrett explains why gold is quietly re-emerging as a neutral reserve asset, what past reserve currency transitions can teach us, and why the end of the dollar’s dominance is already underway.

What if the next global conflict doesn’t start with tanks or missiles, but with metal pricing?

For decades, gold and silver have been priced in Western paper markets like COMEX and the LBMA, where leverage, derivatives, and cash settlement often matter more than physical supply. But that system is being challenged, deliberately.

China and the Shanghai Gold Exchange are pushing to break Western dominance over metals pricing, forcing prices to reflect physical reality rather than paper promises. If pricing power shifts east, it won’t just revalue gold and silver; it could undermine the U.S. dollar’s role as global reserve currency.

In this episode, Thomas Parrilla breaks down:

Why control of metals pricing comes before control of currency

How Shanghai threatens COMEX and London’s grip on gold and silver

Why physical demand, not futures, may soon set the price

What this means for silver, gold, and the future of the dollar

And why this battle may be the financial opening act of a larger geopolitical conflict

This isn’t speculation. It’s a power struggle already underway, and if investors don’t get in front of it, the repricing could be violent.

On Friday, January 23rd, 2026, at about 2:00 PM, something unusual happened across the Pacific Northwest. Local coin shops and small bullion dealers suddenly stopped buying silver altogether. You couldn’t sell, not because demand vanished, but because risk surged behind the scenes.

Most small coin shops don’t actually take big positions themselves. When you sell silver to them, they typically turn around and sell it immediately to a regional wholesaler, a refiner, or a national bullion desk. Those larger buyers rely on paper markets like COMEX and LBMA to hedge their exposure, essentially using futures and forwards as price insurance.

That system works only as long as paper prices accurately reflect the real, physical silver market and delivery remains reliable. But when silver becomes harder to source, deliveries get delayed, inventories tighten, and paper prices no longer represent the true cost or risk of owning physical metal, hedging begins to fail.

When delivery risk rises, buying physical silver becomes dangerous for wholesalers, even when demand is extremely strong. If they can’t be confident they’ll be able to replace or deliver metal at the hedged price later, the safest move isn’t to lower bids. It’s stepping away entirely.

This has happened before during major stress events, including 2008 and March 2020, as well as during previous silver squeezes. When hedging breaks down, it’s not a sign of weak demand. It’s usually a sign that the market’s plumbing is under strain, and historically, these periods are short-lived but can also mark the onset of a very different phase for silver.

Silver broke through $100 per ounce and didn't stop. And, if you think this move is only about inflation or “market hype,” you’re missing the real story.

The real story is China.

While Western markets still treat silver like a paper-traded sidekick to gold, China is buying it like a strategic metal, because silver is no longer just money… It’s industrial fuel.

Solar panels. EVs. Electronics. Power grids. AI infrastructure.
The modern world is turning silver into a necessity, not an optional commodity.

And now the physical market is tightening in a way that paper markets can’t ignore:

✅ persistent global supply deficits
✅ soaring industrial demand (especially solar + electrification)
✅ China tightening supply, including new restrictions designed to secure domestic metal
✅ vault drawdowns / physical tightness becoming visible in pricing
✅ and a Fed pivot looming, with lower rates acting like gasoline on the precious metals trade

This is the alignment silver bulls have been waiting for:
tight supply + exploding demand + shifting monetary policy.


Michael Widmer has said silver prices could reach $170 per ounce over the next two years, a call that would imply we’re not in a normal rally… we’re in the early stages of a structural repricing.
