“The idea is to come out of a bull market with substantially more money than you came into it with, not on paper, money.”
Rick Rule
Markets just keep roaring higher it seems with gold and the S&P 500 at record highs gaining 41% and 13% YTD respectively. I’ve developed the tendency to zig when others are zagging and hence I thought it was time to catch up with legendary resource investor Rick Rule to talk gold, royalties, and how to maximise a bull market without losing your head.
We dug into the recent surge in gold, the evolution of the royalty space and why taking profits along the way is non-negotiable. Rick also shared lessons from decades of wins and mistakes, plus his views on oil, gas, copper, and where the real asymmetric opportunities lie today.
Speaking of asymmetric opportunities, the options market has never been so profitable and so by popular demand I’m opening up a mastermind in collaboration with some of the best minds on sub-stack.
Instead of rambling on about it - I’ll just simply leave the following:
The Maverick Life Mastermind
I’m opening up a small, private community for those ready to turn options into location-independent income and design a life of real freedom. Inside, you’ll get weekly calls, live trade reviews, and access to my full Options Income Engine framework — plus guest speakers and a network of serious peers. Spots will be strictly limited, and the waitlist is the only way to get early access and priority pricing.
It never ceases to amaze me that I have the privilege of calling upon Uncle Rick for guidance at times like these and so I strongly suggest you take notes while listening as the wisdom shared is priceless.
I do my best to come at these interviews from a different angle and ask questions that are both unique, yet pertinent to my investing in the hopes that the responses generated will stand out from other interviews - not an easy task with someone who delivers as many interviews as RR.
As such, I dig out various examples from my own portfolio including successes: WPM, GROY, TPL as well as failures like NNDM and those in the ‘TBD’ pile such as NORAM and VAL. It is my hope that these concrete examples might facilitate your own investment learning.
If you appreciate my carving out of niche insights, please do re stack and consider subscribing - prices will be raised in 2026.
Until then, take care.
Benjamin.
