Recorded on August 26 2026, at NRS Studios
Rick Rule joins Natural Resource Stocks host Tiffany Georgopoulos for a wide-ranging discussion about the U.S. dollar, fiat currency, gold, silver, inflation, government debt, and the investing decisions facing younger savers. Rule explains why he views fiat currency as a medium of exchange built on trust rather than a store of value, and why he has used gold as part of his own savings for decades. He compares gold with silver, describing gold as wealth and liquidity while treating silver as a more speculative form of leveraged gold. The conversation also examines U.S. debt and deficits, the purchasing power of the dollar, precious-metals portfolio allocation, and what a return to historical precious-metals ownership could mean for demand. Rule closes with advice for younger investors on saving, patience, investment analysis, and foundational books including Economics in One Lesson, The Intelligent Investor, and Security Analysis. #Millettian
