Video News/In Focus with Jeremy Szafron

Rick Rule, founder of Rule Investment Media, says gold’s recent drop below $4,000 should be viewed in the context of past bull markets, including the 1975 correction when gold fell sharply before moving much higher. Speaking with Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron, Rule said he remains cautious in the near term but continues to buy, arguing that political pressure could eventually force lower interest rates and renewed quantitative easing. Rule said gold miners are still being valued at a discount to spot gold and argued that royalty and streaming companies offer the best risk-adjusted exposure to the metal. He also discussed the silver market, a potential mining takeover cycle, copper’s long-term supply outlook, and why jurisdiction remains critical when evaluating resource investments.
