Recorded on June 8 2026 at NRS Studios
Rick Rule joins Steve Yang on Natural Resource Stocks for a wide-ranging discussion on the natural resource bull market, uranium, oil, copper, junior mining speculation, and the 2026 Rule Symposium. Rick says the resource cycle is not over, but investors need to understand the difference between the easy money already made and the sure money he believes may still be ahead. He explains why rising living standards, energy density, China’s growth, electricity access, and resource intensity remain major long-term drivers for commodities. Rick also breaks down why uranium matters for energy security, why peak oil demand may be much further away than many investors think, and why copper shortages may be extremely difficult to solve quickly. The conversation closes with Rick’s framework for junior mining speculation, portfolio discipline, company selection, and what makes the Rule Symposium different for serious natural resource investors. #Millettian
