Recording Date 4-07-2026. We discussed his disciplined approach to investing, how he evaluates mining companies, and why understanding risk is so important. I also asked him about preparing for black swan events, and he explained why having conviction in your holdings and keeping cash on hand can make all the difference when markets turn volatile.
We then dove into gold stocks, royalty companies, and some of the most talked-about names in the mining space, with Jordan sharing why valuation risk is increasing despite strong commodity prices. He explained why he prefers royalty companies for better downside protection, how he views opportunities like Royal Gold, and what risks investors may be underestimating in large mining projects. Toward the end, we explored macro developments including oil shocks and geopolitical tensions, and Jordan shared his perspective on how these could impact markets. He also surprised me with his take on certain big tech companies now starting to look like long-term value plays.

Royal gold CEO confirmed debt will be paid off before year end and they said they will pay back to shareholders either special dividends or increasing dividend considerably
Thanks for great interview with solid info about individual stocks. Oil issue is not resolved because we do not have a finished Israhell/USA war against Iran. They want regime change and control or difunctional state like Syria or Libya where place is run by different groups or even ex CIAterrorists like in Syria.
Thanks so much Jordan and Steve👍🏻
