GDXJ FLIP URA GLD SOIL 1ST SIL
Avoid speculative junior mining stock picking.
Wellum warns that picking individual junior mining companies is tough, very difficult, and highly speculative. He argues most investors are better served by knowing their circle of competence and using ETFs or professional management rather than trying to pick off junior miners.
GDXJ AVOID
Uranium favored for nuclear energy.
Wellum favors uranium as a core commodity exposure because of its role in energy and nuclear power.

Gold favored as monetary substitute.
Wellum favors gold as a monetary substitute and monetary asset, making it one of the core commodity exposures he focuses on.

Potash favored for farming nutrients.
In the agricultural area, Wellum focuses on potash and nutrients used in farming as core commodity exposures.
SOIL LONG
Prefer elite miners and royalty companies.
Wellum says his group typically buys elite mining companies and mining royalty companies because they are careful value investors and long-term compounders, and they generally avoid smaller mining companies.
SIL LONG GDX LONG
Copper favored for predictable supply/demand.
Wellum says his group focuses on copper among key commodity exposures because copper is more predictable than many other commodities.
COPPER LONG
Silver benefits from EV/data center demand.
Wellum favors silver because it is important for electric vehicles, data centers, and electrical conductivity.
SILVER LONG
Rare earth opportunities exist but cyclical.
Wellum sees opportunities in rare earths for knowledgeable investors, but says they are cyclical because there is no shortage. China has dominated supply, and as western development and processing accelerate, prices are likely to become more moderate, making opportunities come and go.
REMX WATCH
Prefer Sprott rare earth ETF over juniors.
For rare earth exposure, Wellum argues a Sprott rare earth ETF is a more sane way for retail investors to participate than picking junior miners because professional management selects better financed companies with good locations and political risk profiles.
REXC LONG
Sprott earns fees across commodity ETFs.
Wellum owns Sprott Inc. and views it as one of the best commodity plays because it is the parent company of commodity ETFs and earns fee-based revenue across the entire commodity spectrum.

Watching Honey Badger's Prairie Creek restart.
Wellum is watching Honey Badger's Prairie Creek mine because it has historically outlined silver, lead, zinc, germanium, and tungsten resources, and it has local and government support. However, it requires infrastructure such as a highway and must demonstrate cost-effective extraction, so it is not yet in portfolios.

Front-end US yield curve US3Y 10-Year Treasury Note 30-year Treasury bond XLE 1ST
Front-end Treasuries benefit as Fed cuts.
The Fed's next move is likely a cut, not a hike, because the economy is growing below potential and inflation is cooling. The front end of the Treasury curve is still priced for at least one more hike; Rosenberg says those hike odds will come out, making the two-year and three-year notes very good places to be.
Front-end US yield curve LONG US3Y LONG US2Y LONG
Long-end Treasuries face term premium pressure.
The rise in 10- and 30-year Treasury yields has been driven by term premium and uncertainty—fiscal, policy and inflation uncertainty—rather than by rising inflation expectations. That makes long-end bonds unattractive and sticky because risk premium may keep yields elevated even if inflation expectations keep falling.

War-driven energy earnings are skyrocketing.
Energy companies are earning outsized profits because of ongoing US-Iran tensions and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has made energy stocks a strong earnings pocket even as much of the rest of the economy is weak.

S&P earnings strength is narrowly concentrated.
S&P 500 earnings strength is misleading because it is heavily driven by AI and energy; excluding AI and energy, corporate profits are running under 5% year-over-year. Corporate income share is at an all-time high and labor income share at an all-time low, leaving the market and economy extremely bifurcated and fragile.

Own gold to protect purchasing power.
Gold has just surpassed its inflation-adjusted 1980 peak for the first time in 45 years, central banks doubled gold purchases and began repatriating it after Western sanctions on Russian reserves in 2022, and the old crisis bid for dollars and Treasuries is breaking down. Williams argues investors should stop fixating on 20% price corrections and own gold as protection against currency debasement and loss of purchasing power, holding liquid reserves in gold rather than fiat cash.
GLD LONG
Avoid fiat cash as dollar debases.
Fiat currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, are structurally losing purchasing power: the dollar has lost 95% of its purchasing power over 50 years, and there is no credible plan to stop debt-funded spending without inflating it away. Williams says the dollar, pound, yen, or euro held as savings will continue to get worse, so investors should avoid holding cash in these currencies.
UUP AVOID
Treasuries' crisis hedge is breaking down.
The old crisis reaction function of reflexively buying dollars and Treasuries is breaking down. After central bank behavior changed in 2022, markets have seen stocks down and bonds down while gold rose, so investors should not rely on Treasuries as the automatic crisis hedge they once were.
TLT AVOID
Gold miners offer leveraged gold upside.
Gold mining companies give investors leverage to the gold price and, once the cycle gets going, the right gold miners can massively juice returns. Williams views them as a way to make money for those willing to do due diligence, but not as a way to preserve purchasing power or sleep at night.

Defense stocks doing well on rearmament.
Defense stocks have been recovering and he thinks defense could do well over the next couple of months because the US is running low on ammunition, the deputy secretary of defense ordered major contractors to ramp production within 21 days, implying more government defense spending. Rheinmetall, the premier European defense contractor, has also been recovering.

David Woo is long oil because Iran has an incentive to push Brent toward $100-$120 by disrupting Red Sea tanker traffic through the Houthis, the Strait of Hormuz has very little traffic, and any US move to hit Chinese banks or refiners over Iranian oil would be bullish for oil.

David Woo thinks bonds are very cheap because he does not see inflation and growth is actually slowing, so he does not believe the Fed will be hiking rates. He likes being long bonds, especially looking at five-year yields.

Underinvestment and shortages make commodities attractive.
Years of underinvestment in commodities are colliding with rising demand from digitization, data centers, robotics, and reshoring. The world is demanding more metals and minerals than it produces, while Western economies are too dependent on China for critical resources. This supply-demand imbalance, plus debt and debasement concerns, creates a broad opportunity in the commodity space.

Copper shortage keeps prices near record highs.
Copper is in a supply-demand imbalance. Even when gold and silver pulled back, copper barely corrected and remains near record highs because of shortages, supported by demand from electrification, data centers, robotics, and underinvestment.

Reshoring supports critical minerals and rare earths.
Deglobalization and national security are forcing the US and allies to reshore mining and processing of rare earths and critical minerals because the West is dangerously dependent on China. Military, technology, and industrial demand requires secure supplies, supporting the sector.

Miners lag their record cash flow.
Precious metals miners are generating record margins and free cash flow but their stocks still price gold as if it were well below current levels.

The AI capex boom is driven by FOMO and uncertainty: hyperscalers are spending a trillion-plus dollars without clear returns, and it is impossible to know profitability years ahead.

Hormuz flows are unlikely to normalize quickly, and the futures curve has shifted into steep backwardation with high near-term prices, which he reads as a scarcity signal.

The US stock market is more overvalued today than at any point in the last 150 years, except for 1927. With extreme valuations, elevated leverage, and mounting fiscal pressures, the likelihood of a severe market reckoning is very high, and he expects significant downside ahead.

Gold and silver bottoming; macro drivers align
Gold and silver have likely found a bottom despite recent weakness, supported by stubborn price action, smart money buying (Chinese central bank, industrial silver users), and the long-term drivers of massive government deficits, central bank money supply expansion, and low real interest rates.

QQQ AVOID
Commodity supercycle is here, go long.
The world is in a commodity supercycle that started in October 2020. Supply-side underinvestment in old economy production capacity ('revenge of the old economy') constrains supply. Demand is driven by deglobalization (defense spending, reshoring, buildout of redundant supply chains), electrification (renewables, nuclear, data centers), and debasement (fiat currency debasement through debt and redistribution). Commodity indices have been trending higher and are set to continue as these forces intensify.
BCOM LONG GSCI LONG
Buy gold on fiat currency debasement.
Precious metals are extremely bullish because the debasement of fiat currencies (the 'short experiment' since 1971) is making gold and silver essential monetary hedges. As gold price rises, central bank reserves become increasingly gold-backed, reinforcing demand for precious metals.

Oil's backwardation gives massive roll returns.
Oil markets are in backwardation due to scarcity, particularly in refined products.

The Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise interest rates due to structural debt problems and new leadership views on inflation models. Gold has been unduly pressured by misplaced rate-hike fears.

With a three-to-five-year time horizon and tolerance for 50% drawdowns, investors should use the summer weakness to dig into quality gold mining companies.
