Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Lobo Tiggre, Editor of The Independent Speculator, about why one asset could make fortunes going into 2026 and which metals belong in every portfolio right now. In this interview, Lobo breaks down the Federal Reserve’s pivot, sticky inflation, and his strategy across gold, silver, copper, and uranium. He explains his highest-conviction trade right now, why gold could hit $4,000, silver $50, and why miners are now “printing money.”
