Buy gold as an economic slowdown forces central banks into artificial liquidity provision and suppressed interest rates, both historically strong tailwinds for gold prices.

Buy gold miners (GDX) as the broader "gold related investments" category is severely underallocated relative to historical norms; a mean-reversion in gold demand would disproportionately benefit mining equities via operating leverage.

Buy energy sector; Rick Rule argues oil & gas stocks are unloved and underowned, presenting a rare contrarian opportunity driven by sector neglect and positioning extremes rather than fundamental deterioration.

Buy gold miners; extreme pessimism, cheap valuations.
Gold miners are deeply oversold with the gold miners bullish percent index near 7, indicating extreme pessimism. High-quality companies like Franco-Nevada, Agnico Eagle, and Wheaton Precious are reasonably priced based on a decade-long gold bull thesis. Single-asset producers and developers of large 5+million-ounce deposits are cheap by historic metrics. Gold’s low market share suggests a long-term reversion that will lift gold equities.

Actual shortage coming in days.
Oil prices are currently anticipatory of a shortage, not the shortage itself. With floating cargoes and strategic stockpiles running out, if the Gulf conflict does not de-escalate within 7-10 days, actual physical rationing by price will drive oil prices significantly higher. The market is pricing in fear, but the real supply crunch is imminent.

Rick Rule discloses active speculative positioning in uranium, a commodity he has long championed; use URA as the tradeable proxy for uranium equity exposure.

Own energy and resource stocks to hedge.
Investors can hedge against unavoidable rising costs of energy, copper and other commodities by owning energy stocks and the very things they consume (resource producers). This turns a cost-of-living crisis for others into a personal opportunity.

Under-owned precious metals could quadruple demand.
For four decades, the median market share of precious metals and precious metals related investments in US portfolios was 2%. Today it is only 0.5%. A return to the mean would create four times the current demand, implying huge upside for precious metals and mining equities as the sector is severely under-owned.

Canadian oil and gas stocks deeply undervalued
Canadian oil and gas stocks are in freefall, making valuations very attractive; he plans to allocate the most new capital there over the next six months, and believes Prime Minister Carney will be forced to support the sector to fund social programs.

Clear long-term nuclear beneficiary.
Uranium and nuclear power are the clearest long-term beneficiaries of the energy crisis and the Gulf conflict. The need for energy security will accelerate the restart of Japan's nuclear fleet and increase acceptance globally. He recommends the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SRUUF/SPU) for direct uranium exposure and Cameco (CCJ) as the largest miner. This is a multi-year thesis, not a short-term trade.
