Recorded on 2-18-2026
Rick Rule joins Andy Millette to lay out a simple survival rule for 2026: assume violent volatility and build your plan before the tape whipsaws you out. Rick explains why he sells a portion into strength to recoup principal and remove downside, then connects that discipline to how he evaluates silver moves that shake newer participants. They shift into oil and gas, where Rick talks about news driven spikes, why he prefers pullbacks when he is accumulating, and what parts of the supply chain can matter most when cycles tighten. The conversation then gets practical on edge: jurisdiction and fiscal terms that decide whether wins stay yours, and how to work conferences so you can walk up to CEOs and get real answers, not marketing. #Millettian
