Liberty and Finance: Rick Rule: Tension Built Up & Broke: Why Gold Exploded 03-10-2026

Liberty and Finance: Mar 10th, 2026 Rick Rule: Tension Built Up & Broke: Why Gold Exploded; Rick Rule argues that the recent surge in gold reflects long building fiscal deterioration and declining fiat purchasing power rather than a short term crisis, and he believes the bull market in precious metals could continue for years. He emphasizes that gold remains historically underowned and that even a sideways metals market could allow mining equities to revalue higher because analyst models assume lower price decks. Rule distinguishes between gold as savings and silver as speculation, noting he reduced physical silver exposure in favor of silver mining stocks while increasing gold holdings. He rejects long term manipulation theories around COMEX, asserting that markets ultimately follow arithmetic and incentives. Finally, he warns that long dated bonds face structural risk in an inflationary environment and encourages investors to focus on real assets such as precious metals, farmland, and resource equities.
