Andy Schectman: I’ve Been Buying Gold Every 2 Weeks Get your tickets NOW for the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. January 24th-25th, 2027: https://vricmedia.com/conference
Andy Schectman, President of Miles Franklin, joins Darrell to discuss how he is positioning across gold, silver, mining shares, natural resources, short-term Treasuries, and other assets. Andy argues that resource equities remain deeply under-owned, points to unusually strong physical delivery activity in gold and silver, and lays out his theory that sophisticated buyers may be accumulating metal while prices remain under pressure.

Michael Pento: Stocks Could Crash 50% - Here’s What I’m Buying Instead Get your tickets NOW for the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. January 24th-25th, 2027: https://vricmedia.com/conference
Michael Pento of Pento Portfolio Strategies joins Darrell to discuss why he has moved his portfolio to a neutral stance and why he believes the combination of equity, bond, and real estate bubbles could create a much more severe downturn in 2027. Michael explains how a liquidity crisis could initially pressure gold and miners, why he expects the Fed to eventually respond with aggressive rate cuts and money printing, and how that could set up a much stronger move in gold afterward.

Inside a recent episode Investor Warning: Markets are Experiencing Maximum Uncertainty Right Now Published 28 Apr 2026 · Transcript excerpt
