In this episode, Jordan and I break down why many major gold producers may now carry poor risk reward despite rising gold prices, what is really happening behind B2Gold's recent earnings surge, and why Royal Gold could be one of the most misunderstood royalty companies in the sector. Jordan also explains why Wheaton Precious Metals remains one of his favorite long term silver investments and discusses the growing importance of diversification, cash flow quality, and operational execution in the mining space. The conversation dives deep into valuation disconnects, market psychology, and how investors should think about downside protection in highly cyclical commodity markets. Jordan explores oil markets, geopolitical risks, and how global supply disruptions could impact commodity prices moving forward. Jordan explains why he remains cautious on oil equities despite bullish macro headlines and discusses how energy markets could reverse sharply once geopolitical tensions ease. The episode also features an extensive discussion on Royal Gold's long term production growth, misunderstood valuation, and why royalty and streaming companies may offer safer exposure to precious metals compared to traditional miners. Jordan closes by sharing his institutional style mining research process, emphasizing the importance of studying quarterly reports, understanding accounting details, and developing an informational edge through relentless repetition and deep analysis.   Key Insights in this episode ✅ Major gold miners may now offer weak risk reward after the massive gold rally ✅ B2Gold delivered strong free cash flow but operational risks still remain ✅ Royal Gold could be undervalued due to misunderstood growth and diversification ✅ Wheaton Precious Metals remains Jordan's top long term silver exposure ✅ Oil stocks may face downside once geopolitical tensions begin to normalize ✅ Jordan's research edge comes from deeply studying mining company filings   Tools for Success that I Love and find Helpful / Affiliates: Technical Analysis Series  Rule Symposium 2026 Rule Classroom (Free)  Rule Classroom Plus (2 Free Months)  TradingView (Free) Lobo's Weekly Recap (Free) Uranium Insider Newsletter   Chapters 00:00 Introduction To Gold Stock Opportunities And Risks 01:49 B2Gold Earnings Surge And Operational Concerns 05:53 Newmont Agnico Eagle And Gold Cost Pressures 08:00 Royal Gold Pueblo Viejo Silver Stream Update 09:58 Great Bear Royalties And Royal Gold Growth Potential 11:42 Core Mining Valuation Risks In Silver Stocks 12:35 Silver Crown Royalties And Honey Badger Silver 13:04 Jordan's Top Long Term Silver Stock Pick 14:12 VSLA Mexico Project Delays And Security Risks 16:03 Oil Market Risks And Energy Stock Outlook 18:28 Devon Energy Merger And Hedging Strategy 21:50 Gold Developers Mergers And Acquisition Trends 23:35 Newmont Versus Agnico Eagle Stock Comparison 24:21 Wheaton Precious Metals Versus Franco Nevada 25:10 Jordan Rusche Mining Research Process Explained 27:57 SSR Mining Turkey Risks And Strategic Review 30:04 Why Royal Gold May Be Deeply Undervalued 37:56 Mining Stock Monkey Research Service Offer 39:45 Premium Discussion Copper Risks Royalties And Commodities   DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor.
