    Rick Rule: The Reason to Exit Silver, What Rick is Buying & Why Copper is Still a ‘Coiled Spring’



    Rick Rule: The Reason to Exit Silver, What Rick is Buying & Why Copper is Still a ‘Coiled Spring’

    Recorded: Jan 7, 2026 – Stijn Schmitz welcomes back the legendary Rick Rule to the show. Rick Rule is Investor, Speculator, Founder & CEO of Rule Investment Media. In this wide-ranging interview, Rule provides insights into various commodity markets and economic trends, highlighting key perspectives on precious metals, oil, and global economic dynamics. Reflecting on the remarkable performance of commodities in 2025, Rule notes that gold has actually been steadily growing at 9% compounded annually since 2000. While he doesn’t expect the same parabolic moves to continue, he believes gold will continue to appreciate over the next decade.

    For silver, Rule discusses significant market disruptions, including changes in trading patterns in Dubai and China, and notes that industrial demand remains structurally inelastic.

    Regarding the broader economic landscape, Rule offers a stark assessment of the US dollar’s purchasing power, which has lost 97% of its value since 1913. He predicts a potential further 75% loss in purchasing power, suggesting that governments will likely continue to inflate away debt obligations. This perspective underpins his strategy of saving in gold and maintaining liquidity in US dollars. In the commodity sector, Rule sees significant opportunities in copper, oil, and select mining stocks. He emphasizes the long-term supply constraints in copper, driven by decades of underinvestment and lengthy permitting processes. For oil, he recommends companies like Exxon and Canadian producers, noting the sector’s current undervaluation.

      Rick got out of alot of metals and went oil.. well oil is not only doing poorly and sickely but demand is falling off a cliff. Nat gas demand will go up but oil? 40 a barrell coming.

      Miners do need to be more mindful of environmental destruction. I’m grateful that Rick, whom I respect greatly, makes note of that aspect of mining, and the need to engage in mining with an actual conscience about Nature.

      Has silver hit $100? Why are you selling? I think you’re working for the ELITE…or are you part of? If you are telling everybody you’re selling your silver is this a bit premature?

      Any stacker that doesn't sell some of their stack at todays numbers- is a complete knucklehead. You waited 15 years- if not now- when?

      Talk to bitcoin holders who saw 127k – yet still hold their BC today. 40k less.
      Learn the lesson.

      Sometimes I think I’ve heard Rick rule but this time I must have new ears.
      I think I’ve got to dive into the rick rule sphere of influence more because that was a stunning interview by a wise man.

      I appreciate that your speaking primarily to men with little frightened wives but as a woman, not little and not frightened it’s a bit condescending. There are courageous ( maybe less smart) people of all denominations. Maybe your just speaking from your personal perspective and situation

      The dollar hasn't actually lost 97% of it's purchasing power. The supply of dollars has to increase as the productive capacity of the US has expanded. The GDP in 1913 was roughly 39 billion. It's now 31 trillion yearly. You simply can't keep the money supply at 1913 levels after that kind of massive expansion of the economy. To do so would result in depression after depression after depression. Hard to believe Rick would repeat this obviously false claim. He has to understand how currency works.

      Been following him for over 18 years, and I have been following the sector since 2005, and later on an analyst in the space for a long time. I met him many times at the conference, the same ones I spoke at too.

      I wouldn't take Rick Rule word as gospel, he said he hadn't bought physical silver from a previous video he guested on which puzzled me, then said he doesn't buy silver companies unless they have 100m proven oz in the ground but didn't indicate any change in his thinking if price keeps on moving up, he overlooks some junior silver producers that have gone up around 10 times in short period of time, he was asked about avino silver and gold and had no comment, this company has gone up at least 8 fold. The guy will sell etf silver to hold fiat with dollars going over a cliff. I don't understand his logic in some areas so don't take him very seriously, possibly trying to influence less savvy investors with his so called experience and expertise.

      Rick is what you would call Loaded. If he has already doubled or tripled his money on silver, that's a LOT of money. No need to wait and see if it goes to $100/oz in his case – just move on to the next investment thesis.

    37. @gor4200 on

      The more and more I listen to Rick, the more and more intelligent and well put together he is to me. He lives and breathes the subjects he speaks on. 👍🏼💪🏼
