Rare Earth Stocks - Matt Warder Breaks It Down!
06/11/2025 Duration: 25minIn this interview from the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference, Matt Warder of Seawolf Research lays out a high-level macro view on coal and rare earth markets. He explains how Chinese steel exports have disrupted pricing across both thermal and metallurgical coal, with met coal dropping from 600 to 175.

Jordan Roy-Byrne at NOIC Reveals Gold's Path to $7,000
05/11/2025 Duration: 21minJordan Roy-Byrne sat down with Steve Barton at the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference to discuss the shifting tides in global markets. Drawing comparisons to the late 1960s, Roy-Byrne pointed to a secular bear market in bonds as capital steadily exits fixed income and begins flowing into gold and stocks. He outlined why gold's performance relative to the S&P 500 is the most important chart to watch and emphasized that once gold breaks above key resistance on that ratio, the move to five thousand and beyond becomes highly likely. Silver could also accelerate toward one hundred in that scenario. https://x.com/TheDailyGold https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-roy-byrne-cmt-mfta-84b15b351 They explored near-term correction levels for both metals with Roy-Byrne identifying thirty-six hundred to thirty-seven hundred as key zones to watch for gold and low forties as a potential base for silver.
