Rick Rule: Retail Investors Still Not Interested in Gold

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share my recent conversation with the legendary Rick Rule, President and CEO of Rule Investment Media. For those of you who know Rick, you'll get why I wanted an update from him in the current environment.

This conversation, recorded March 24, 2025, was a deep dive into the macro landscape, the role of gold in a world grappling with debt, and some potentially surprising predictions for the future of money. Lots to think about…

Here’s a taster of what we discussed:

• Could the US be heading towards a "dishonest default" by devaluing the dollar?

• Why are most retail investors are still “uninterested” in gold, and who exactly has been buying?

• Why does Rick think we have a “liquid federal government but not a solvent federal government”?

• Why does Rick say “the most successful investors are dead”?

• Are investors overlooking the debt crisis and its implications for traditional savings?

• In what way does Rick think revaluing gold would be “fraud”?

• What “out of favor” metals does Rick think deserve investors’ time?

• Why was Rick “anti-ETF” and how has he changed his tune (a bit)?

• What’s Rick’s take on “digital gold” and why does he think that “the distributed ledger [could] restore gold to its rightful role as money”?

And a hell of a lot more…

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just trying to make sense of the current economic landscape, Rick’s insights are invaluable.

Enjoy - and let me know what you think in the comments…!
