Join Michael Fox as he interviews Lobo Tiggre, founder of The Independent Speculator, recapping the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference’s positive yet rational vibe—highlighted by Rick Rule selling 80% of his physical silver—and analyzing the recent precious metals correction, where dip buying signals encourage future gains. They dive into silver’s resilience with low mining costs, China’s central bank gold buying amid inflation from geopolitics and fiscal policies, and bullish shifts like Tether’s gold backing. Lobo shares gold investment strategies, the “pre-production sweet spot” for 100% bull market re-rates, de-risking via permits and feasibility studies, the prospect generator model, “success in progress” plays post-discovery, and resource picks favoring proven teams, drill results, safe jurisdictions, and thorough due diligence.
