Liberty and Finance, Released on 5/20/25 (Recorded on 5/19/25)
Legendary investor Rick Rule discusses how interest rates are shaped by market confidence and the underlying strength of currency. He warns that unchecked debt contributes to inflation, eroding purchasing power over time. Rule emphasizes personal responsibility in financial decision-making and highlights gold as a reliable hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. While he believes the U.S. dollar won’t collapse entirely, he predicts a continued decline in its value, advocating for diversification and liquidity. He also introduces Battle Bank, a new venture offering loans backed by precious metals to help investors access capital without selling their assets.
