Gold as an investment and savings mechanism is ignored by 99.5% of the U.S. market, says Rick Rule, President & CEO of Rule Investment Media. “Gold doesn’t need to whip the U.S. dollar; gold doesn’t need to break the Treasury market,” Rule tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference. “All it has to do is revert to mean. Then, the market share in the U.S. market grows fourfold. Can you imagine what a fourfold increase in demand for gold and gold stocks do to the gold price?” Rule dives into the U.S. debt crisis, potential solutions, and President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. He also shares his commodity picks for 2025 and beyond, weighing in on oil, gas, uranium, and copper.
