Gold Gets Sold First When Markets Crash, And Then This Happens | Rick Rule

Rick Rule says gold's drop below $4,000 rhymes with 1975, when the metal crashed 50% and then rose 8x, and the investors who panic-sold at the bottom missed the entire move. So is this gold selloff the buying opportunity of the decade, or a warning that more pain is coming?Legendary resource investor Rick Rule, founder of Rule Investment Media, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down the gold selloff after the price cracked $4,000 for the first time since November and Bank of America pulled its $6,000 gold target. Rule explains why he's pessimistic on gold in the very near term yet still buying, why he expects the political class to cave on interest rates and return to quantitative easing before year-end, and why he believes the US dollar could lose 75% of its purchasing power this decade, just as it did in the 1970s.The conversation goes deep on the mining side too: why gold miners are being priced as if gold were only $3,354 an ounce, a 19% discount to spot, why Rule says the safest, best risk-adjusted way to own gold isn't a miner at all but the royalty and streaming companies, the $250 billion copper-streaming wave he sees coming, the one producer he'd own (Agnico Eagle), what he sold and what he's buying now, the real silver setup beyond the solar headlines, the coming mining takeover wave, where in the world he will and won't own a mine, and why copper could run to $10-12.Recorded June 25, 2026Follow Jeremy Szafron on X: @JeremySzafron (https://x.com/JeremySzafron)Follow Kitco News on X: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://x.com/KitcoNewsNOW)Follow Rick Rule on X: @RealRickRule (https://x.com/RealRickRule)Rick Rule will be hosting the 2026 Rule Symposium on Natural Resource Investing, July 6-10 in Boca Raton, and Kitco will be there on the ground.
