Rick Rule – Listener Q&A – Part Two: Patience And Perspective in Silver & Juniors Will Be Rewarded
Tom welcomes back the legendary investor Rick Rule to answer more Palisade Radio listener questions. Rick emphasizes the importance of personal due diligence in financial responsibility, recommending readers to understand what offers mean for their future before trusting others.
In terms of silver, Rick notes that while it has potential, its low price and lack of price movement have disillusioned many investors. However, he believes that silver’s bad reputation provides an opportunity for patient investors who are able to handle its volatility.
Rick also touched on the risks associated with investing in silver equities, particularly for newly minted companies. He highlighted the risk of nationalization using Mexican and Canadian silver miners as examples. However he suggests that governments may resort to more subtle measures such as taxes rather than direct theft.
Rick touches on Blackrock and Sprott but notes that they only act as proxies for shareholders.
Rick believes that short syndicates have a better understanding of valuation and the market than regulators, and argues that their function is beneficial. He suggests that those distressed about shorts should push back against them on social media and potentially initiate a short squeeze.
Moving to uranium, Rick outlined his impressions of the market outlook for the next 6-10 years. He noted that while the easy money has been made, the structural deficit in supply offers opportunities for significant gains in the near term.
Rick emphasized the importance of striving to become the best one can be, rather than solely focusing on making money. He stressed the value of personal development and encouraging a mindset of delivering value and utility to customers.
