This week's Monday Market Moves opens with Steve Barton breaking down the S&P 500, Treasury yields, and currency movements, outlining how shifting macro signals are shaping risk appetite and influencing commodity trends. He walks through early equity action and dollar behavior before turning to precious metals, where gold remains resilient, silver continues to tighten within a narrowing range, and miners stay compressed near key technical levels that suggest ongoing accumulation. Steve then moves through the industrial and energy complex, highlighting constructive basing in copper and continued strength in uranium supported by firm spot pricing. Oil trades lower within a fading channel while natural gas grinds higher on seasonal demand, and coal remains in a broad accumulation phase. The episode closes with platinum and palladium reacting to global liquidity shifts, nickel stabilizing near long-term support, and Bitcoin struggling to confirm direction, followed by responses to viewer questions on positi

This week's Monday Market Moves reviews how the S&P 500, yields, and currency shifts shaped the commodity landscape, with Steve. He walks through the early action in equities and the dollar before moving into gold strength, silver's tightening structure, and the continued compression in miners as they approach potential breakout levels. He explains how copper and its related ETFs are forming constructive patterns while uranium maintains a firm bullish trend supported by steady spot pricing. Energy names receive close attention as oil softens inside a fading channel and natural gas grinds upward, helped by seasonal demand. Coal markets remain in accumulation territory, creating opportunities for patient buyers.   Steve then breaks down platinum and palladium as they respond to shifts in global liquidity, followed by nickel's continued drift near major support and Bitcoin's uncertain posture as it struggles to confirm direction. He responds to viewer questions about portfolio positioning, risk zones, and

Steve Barton sits down with Jordan Rusche, founder of Mining Stock Monkey, for a direct and highly focused breakdown of where he is deploying serious capital across gold, silver, oil, nickel, and the largest royalty companies during a mature but still powerful gold bull market. He explains his shift away from junior royalty names toward major firms after seeing the impact of heavy G and A costs, and outlines why Royal Gold could experience a major re-rating and even an S&P 500 inclusion. Jordan also explores silver exposure through Triple Flag and Royal Gold, offers clear takes on Barrick and B2Gold's Mali risk profile, and examines Equinox Gold's Canada-driven growth. He provides straightforward assessments of Devon Energy, ExxonMobil, West Red Lake Gold, Silvercorp, and Endeavour Silver while emphasizing jurisdiction risk, ramp-up challenges, and capital discipline across the sector. Jordan concludes with insight into how he applies deep valuation work and carefully used AI tools within Mining Stock M

Doomberg, our resident energy expert behind one of Substack's top financial newsletters, returns to In It To Win It with Steve Barton to deliver a sharp, data-driven look at global energy, economic stability, and geopolitics. He explains why the world is currently awash in hydrocarbons, with oil drifting toward a long-term equilibrium of 55 dollars per barrel and coal showing minimal movement. Natural gas, however, is gaining momentum as AI-fueled demand from new data centers begins shifting to regions like the Permian Basin. Doomberg breaks down how this rising demand for gas could paradoxically drive oil prices lower due to the economics of co-produced hydrocarbons in shale drilling. Doomberg makes the case that the United Kingdom is becoming a failed state, struggling with energy dependency, industrial decline, and internal unrest. He raises the possibility of a behind-the-scenes peace deal between the United States and Russia that could bypass Ukraine entirely, reshaping the geopolitical landscape. The ep

In this week's Monday Market Moves, Steve Barton breaks down a massive week for commodities. Silver exploded 14.5 percent to hit new all-time highs while gold jumped over four percent and cleared key resistance. Steve explains how silver's breakout flips prior resistance into strong support and uses Fibonacci extensions to map the next target near 65 dollars. Gold is now approaching its all-time highs and remains in contango, with futures trading higher than spot. The S&P 500 rose 3.7 percent, but Steve sees weakness ahead as falling volume signals retail-driven movement. The US dollar broke trend support and looks headed for 99, which may push commodities even higher. Uranium and copper show bullish formations, with potential breakouts forming. Copper miners and uranium ETFs like URNM and SRUUF are flashing entries near technical support levels. Natural gas continues higher into winter with a fresh golden cross, while oil grinds lower within a weakening channel. Coal ETFs are back in the buy zone. Plat

Dennis Blitz, founder of the IRA Club, reveals overlooked yet powerful strategies for maximizing retirement accounts in this episode of In It To Win It with Steve Barton. Recorded at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference, the discussion uncovers how self-directed IRAs can be used to invest in real estate, gold, and even other people's businesses while remaining fully compliant and tax efficient. Blitz explains how Roth IRAs offer long-term tax-free growth, why most investors are missing out on these opportunities, and how the 1975 tax code still allows tremendous flexibility for passive investments. Blitz walks through the mechanics of partnering IRAs to buy larger assets, using non-recourse loans to leverage capital, and the benefits of Solo 401k plans for entrepreneurs looking to contribute up to seventy thousand dollars annually. He outlines key rules around Roth contributions, withdrawal timelines, and the secure storage of physical gold through approved depositories. With clear examples and practi

Regency Silver CEO Bruce Bragagnolo joins Steve Barton at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference to unveil a major metals discovery in Sonora, Mexico. With just ten drill holes completed, the company has already hit high-grade gold, silver, and copper in a breccia-hosted porphyry system. Bruce explains how new software modeling and detailed review of historical data helped their team hit mineralization on the very first hole, a rare feat in the industry. This discovery could reshape the future of the project as Regency aims to drill further and sell to a major or mid-tier producer. The discussion explores the broader case for investing in junior explorers, the long-standing gap in global exploration spending, and why the current cycle favors early-stage discoveries. Bruce highlights the scale of the opportunity, potential for a multi-million ounce deposit, and the exceptional geology behind the find. With a proven team, strong financing, and high grades already confirmed, Regency Silver may be one of th

Alan Hibbard of GoldSilver.com joins Steve Barton at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference to discuss what could be the most significant shift in global finance since Bretton Woods a new monetary system potentially pegged to gold. Hibbard explains the political and economic forces behind this transformation and reveals why central banks are accelerating gold accumulation. He also breaks down the critical distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic value and explains why gold holds its worth largely due to extrinsic factors while Bitcoin may eventually lose its value altogether. Silver takes center stage as Hibbard outlines its explosive upside amid a five year structural supply deficit and surging industrial demand. He explains how ongoing price suppression may be nearing a breaking point and why silver could outperform both gold and Bitcoin in the years ahead. The episode closes with a look at Hibbard's new series Hidden Secrets of Value which builds on Mike Maloney's classic Hidden Secrets of Money t

Mike Maloney, founder of GoldSilver.com and author of the Hidden Secrets of Money series, delivers a stark warning about the future of the global economy in this episode of In It To Win It with Steve Barton. Speaking from the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference, Maloney outlines why gold and silver remain the most reliable assets in the face of financial turmoil. He explains how fiat currencies have become tools of systemic fraud, driven by debt and designed to erode personal wealth through inflation and monetary manipulation. Maloney breaks down why modern banking is built on illusion, how currency is created from nothing, and why the Federal Reserve's policies are leading the world toward inevitable collapse. He emphasizes that precious metals are not just safe havens but essential protections against the failures of our financial system. Viewers looking to safeguard their future are urged to like, share, and subscribe for more high-impact insights from thought leaders like Mike Maloney.   Connect wi

In this week's Monday Market Moves, Steve Barton delivers a deep dive into the latest volatility across commodity markets. The S&P 500 fell two percent and failed to hold its 50-day moving average, while the dollar finally broke above its 200-day. Gold showed signs of forming a bearish flag, and silver pulled back after touching its moving average. Both metals are facing pressure from a stronger dollar, though Steve outlines exact buy levels and suggests we are nearing seasonal strength for gold. Silver remains in backwardation and Steve believes gold will outperform in the near term. Uranium, oil, natural gas, and copper are all flashing accumulation signals, with uranium ETFs hitting support zones and oil stuck in a long downtrend that mirrors early gold setups. Coal is entering a potential buying range and natural gas shows signs of topping. Platinum and palladium are testing support while nickel is crashing fast and may forecast recession. Bitcoin dropped over ten percent, and Steve suggests more do

Veteran trader and global precious metals strategist Vince Lanci, the voice behind the widely followed GoldFix Substack, returns with deep insight into why central banks around the world are out of options, why silver could reach one hundred forty-four dollars, and how governments have resorted to endless money printing as a default policy. In this episode of In It To Win It with Steve Barton, the conversation explores global macro conditions, the shift toward yield curve control, and the powerful consequences of a fast gold revaluation. Vince shares why we are now living through a silent but aggressive currency debasement. He breaks down how modern price controls are being quietly implemented, why exit liquidity matters more than ever for silver stackers, and why SLV could hold up longer than COMEX in a crisis. With thoughtful analysis of supply dynamics, historical patterns, and the psychology behind silver's underperformance, Vince explains how silver and gold may soon revert to their natural ratio as fi

Bob Quartermain, a legendary mining executive, sits down with Steve Barton at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference to explain why he came out of retirement to back Dakota Gold. With no debt, forty-one million dollars in cash, and a potential three billion dollar valuation on its Richmond Hill project, Dakota Gold is positioning itself as one of the most undervalued gold stocks in the market. Quartermain emphasizes the company's strategic advantages, including its location on private land in South Dakota, access to infrastructure, and strong local support. He also highlights the historical significance of the Homestake mining district and the company's two key projects, Maitland and Richmond Hill. With a combined six point two million ounces of measured, indicated, and inferred gold resources, and all-in sustaining costs around one thousand fifty dollars per ounce, Dakota Gold offers compelling upside in a strong gold price environment. Quartermain discusses support from major backers like Orion, who h

In this feature from the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference, Adrian Day of Adrian Day Asset Management shares a detailed macro outlook that challenges mainstream narratives. He outlines clear signs of a slowing US economy, including weak employment and manufacturing data, while highlighting a concerning global trend of central banks easing monetary policy before controlling inflation. According to Day, these conditions set the stage for persistent inflationary pressures and potential long-term currency devaluation. Adrian explains why gold and silver are still far from their market tops, citing low public participation, undervalued gold stocks, and continued central bank buying. He highlights two companies that stand out in the current environment: Dakota Gold, with strong US-based assets, and Midland Exploration, supported by major partners like Rio Tinto, Barrick, BHP, and Agnico Eagle. Day views these as well-positioned plays in an ongoing precious metals bull market with significant upside potential
