Today, Steve Barton is joined by legendary investor Rick Rule in a high-impact episode of Rule Classroom Plus to explore the explosive dynamics of the unfolding gold bull market.

Today, Steve Barton is joined by Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, for a high-stakes conversation on the future of global markets. Oliver delivers a sobering forecast: the stock market has officially peaked, and we may be entering one of the most severe downturns in modern history. But the surprises don’t end there. In a bold deviation from historical norms, Oliver argues that U.S. Treasury bonds—traditionally seen as a safe haven during equity crashes—are failing to provide cover. Instead, he identifies gold as the only remaining asset behaving like a true...
