About this episode

Richard Young discusses the potential for a long-term bull market in gold and commodities, emphasizing the importance of evaluating mining companies.

Gold is swinging hard again — rebounding sharply today after an early selloff pushed prices to a near one-month low. But i-80 Gold CEO Richard Young says investors focused on the day-to-day volatility may be missing a much bigger shift in gold and commodities. In this conversation with Trey Reik, Young explains why he believes gold and commodities could be in a 5, 10, even 20-year run, why mining companies may increasingly benefit from expanding margins as technology becomes more capital intensive, and why hard assets with long lives and strong “moats” could become increasingly valuable. Young also breaks down what investors should look for when evaluating gold miners, why Nevada remains such an attractive mining jurisdiction, and how i-80 Gold navigated a massive recapitalization when hundreds of millions of dollars were coming due. Is the recent volatility just another shakeout inside a much bigger gold bull market? 💡 Richard Young says gold and commodities could be in a 5-, 10-, even 20-year bull run — and argues that hard assets, strong mining margins, and long-life assets may become increasingly valuable as the investment landscape shifts.
