Stijn Schmitz welcomes Gary Savage to the show. Gary Savage is Retired Entrepreneur, Investor, and President of Smart Money Tracker Premium. Gary Savage opened the discussion by assessing the current stock market, noting that while it may be entering a final parabolic bubble phase, particularly in semiconductors, warning signs like a diverging banking index and Hindenburg Omens suggest increasing danger. He cautioned that chasing these final gains risks a severe crash.

The conversation then shifted to precious metals, where Savage believes gold and silver bottomed in March and are now in the advancing phase of a new intermediate cycle, albeit with frustrating, erratic momentum. He explained that the recent correction, rather than a continued parabolic surge, has returned the market to a “wall of worry” phase. This development, while slower, is healthier for the secular bull market, potentially extending it for several more years and allowing for much higher ultimate price targets, such as $15,000 gold, compared to a shorter, more volatile parabolic blow-off. He advised that buying physical metal is sound at any time for long-term holders, but warned that trading is difficult in the current volatile consolidation, which can easily shake out leveraged positions.

Regarding miners, he expects them to rise with gold but believes physical silver may ultimately outperform mining ETFs due to the absence of company-specific risks. On energy, Savage suggested waiting for a potential peace deal in the Middle East to drive oil prices back down to test the upper $60s breakout level before considering a long position, as he anticipates a larger commodity bull cycle will eventually push oil above its all-time high. He linked this outlook to a broader inflationary cycle, predicting the Fed will eventually cut rates and print money, exacerbating inflation and fueling hard assets. He concluded by noting his Smart Money Tracker service is currently closed to new subscribers, as he only opens access near market bottoms.
