Rick Rule and Michael Oliver are returning guests while Abraham Drost is with us for the first time.
Rick Rule has made a career out of buying quality assets when no one wants them and selling during the manic phase of market cycles. As the gold bear market approaches its fifth year, we asked Rick if he is finding anything of interest and if so, where.
One undervalued gold mining company your host believes in and has recommended to his subscribers is Carlisle Goldfields Ltd., now headed by Abraham Drost who explained why his company deserves your attention. Michael Oliver’s also shared his latest insights into the equity and precious metals markets based on his structural momentum technical views.

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, NYC. He studied under David Johnson, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX.
In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.
In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. MSA has provided its proprietary technical research services to financial and asset management clients continually since 1992. Oliver is the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.
