Doug Casey: Mining stocks are where you should be right now.
- Mining stocks, particularly gold stocks, are still at the lowest levels in history
- Despite the recent price surge, the public is not participating
The amount of money that can be made in bull markets can be life-changing:
- Crappy little stocks can go 10x
- Some go 100x
- Occasionally 1000x

Rising Nuclear Demand = Stronger Uranium Market
The surge in data centres and clean baseload power demand is reinforcing nuclearβs long-term growth story β and thatβs positive for the uranium market.
Higher reactor demand ultimately means more uranium purchasing.
With the United States operating the largest fleet, China leading new builds, and France maintaining strong nuclear reliance, fuel demand visibility is improving.
Global resources are sufficient β whatβs needed now is investment.
For nuclear businesses, this signals:
β Stronger contracting cycles
β Healthier pricing fundamentals
β Upstream growth opportunities
The uranium story is turning from surplus to strategic expansion.

The silver supply-demand model is broken.
- Silver deficits have been piling up for five consecutive years
- Cumulative deficits now total ~820 Moz
In just five years, weβve effectively lost the equivalent of one full year of global silver production.
Youβd think a ~220% increase in silver prices would trigger more mining.
It hasnβt.
- ~72% of silver production is a byproduct of copper, zinc, and lead mining.
- Higher silver prices donβt incentivize a copper/zinc mine to produce more silver.
In other words: We have persistent deficits and no meaningful way to raise supply.
Thatβs the perfect storm for #silver.

β’οΈNuclear power is simple in physics
Uranium splits
Heat is released
Steam spins a turbine
Electricity flows
But the bottleneck is not the reactor design.
It is the fuel.
Every advanced reactor in this race.
NuScale Power. Oklo Inc. TerraPower. X-energy.
Wants HALEU (Higher enriched uranium)
Until 2023, only Russia could produce it commercially at scale.
Now there is just one Western company licensed to manufacture it.
This is no longer just an energy story.
It is a fuel supply chokepoint in the middle of a geopolitical race.
This is a supply absence story.

Central banks are turning to gold.
The GFC showed the world the risks of dependence on the US financial system. As a result, central banks broke a 2-decade trend of net gold sales and began to buy gold at a record pace.
This effort was led primarily by non-Western central banks.
The seizure of Russian assets and the exclusion from the SWIFT system led to a ~2x increase in gold buying, as the risk of holding US Treasuries increased significantly.
We are witnessing a remonetization of gold and a bifurcation of the world. As the West keeps betting on the old USD-centric system, the East is moving to a gold-centric system.
#Gold is once again becoming the preferred reserve asset.

π₯ China Is Hoarding Gold
Shanghai Futures Exchange inventories just hit 104 tonnes, an all-time high.
Deliverable gold has quadrupled in months.
This is physical metal in vaults. Not paper.
Drivers:
β’ Currency hedge
β’ Dollar diversification
β’ Property stress
β’ Strategic reserve buildup
This is defensive accumulation at scale.
The question is not why gold is rising.
Itβs what China is preparing for.

But here is the twist:
China may rank 4th in reserves, yet it dominates processing and refining.
Reserves β control.
Processing = leverage.
In a world racing toward EVs, batteries, and grid storage, the question is not just who owns the lithium underground.
It is who controls the value chain above it.
