Recording Date 4-13-2026. In this episode, Rick explains how rising oil and LNG prices are being driven by anticipated shortages rather than actual supply depletion, warning that a prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could send prices significantly higher. The discussion also highlights second-order effects already emerging, including fertilizer shortages and the growing strategic importance of uranium as countries rethink energy security.
Rick connects these macro pressures to broader economic risks, arguing that higher energy costs are already contributing to a global slowdown. He then shifts to opportunities, outlining why uranium could benefit in the near term and why copper remains one of the most compelling long-term investments due to decades of underinvestment and structural supply deficits. The conversation wraps with a deep dive into how to evaluate copper companies and why high-quality, long-life assets will be the biggest winners in the coming commodity cycle.
