Recording Date 9-23-2026. In this episode, Rick explains why he considers Mexico essential for silver investors while highlighting the country's underexplored potential in gold and copper, alongside lead and zinc. We discuss Mexico's political and social challenges, including the kidnapping and murder of 10 Vizsla Silver employees, and why investors need perspectives from the Mexican government and mining industry. Rick also discusses Dr. Steven Enders, Javier Reyes, and operators including Riverside Resources, First Majestic, and GoGold Resources. He explains why decades of exploration and operating experience matter when assessing opportunities in Mexico.

I also dig into Battle Bank with Rick, starting with interest paid on checking-account cash and his claim that roughly $3 trillion in U.S. deposits receive no interest. We discuss precious-metals storage through approved depositories, including Brinks, and Battle Bank's metals equity line of credit, which can provide capital secured by gold or silver without requiring investors to sell their metals. Rick also explains foreign-currency banking for Canadian and Australian dollar investments, $10,000 minimums, and self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s. We finish with Rule Investment Media, where Rick says he has ranked portfolios nearly 100,000 times over 35 years, and the Rule Classroom, which has 29,000 natural-resource stock students.
