Doug Casey: This Is "Ultra Serious"

an Supply Destruction, Energy Shortages, and Why Gold Miners Are Still Hated  Doug and Matt discuss escalating conflict in Iran, including attacks on production/refining/shipping facilities and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, arguing markets are underpricing the resulting supply destruction and global knock-on effects already seen in Asia (fuel shortages, reduced air travel, four-day work weeks). They criticize Trump's actions and messaging, speculate about political fallout, and note reported U.S. losses and broader regional disruption, including Dubai's tourism/finance and potential UAE banking stress. They react to Trump promoting watches and seeking a commemorative gold coin, then shift to investing: favoring commodity exposure (corn and possibly rice) due to fertilizer impacts, and urging gradual buying of cheap gold miners given extremely bearish sentiment and low P/E ratios.
