Weekend Show – Mike Larson & Rick Bensignor – Navigating the Volatility: Precious Metals, Momentum, Trading Strategies

Cory
October 25, 2025

 

This Weekend Show dives deep into one of the most volatile stretches for gold and silver in decades. With massive intraday swings and investor sentiment whipsawing, Cory and Shad bring on Mike Larson and Rick Bensignor to dissect what’s really happening – from retail speculation and momentum exhaustion to technical triggers and institutional behavior. Both guests share practical frameworks for investors navigating the chaos, and insights into what comes next for metals, equities, and the broader market.

 

  • Segment 1 & 2 – Mike Larson, Editor in Chief at MoneyShow, joins us to dissect the wild swings in gold and silver. He sees a likely short-to-intermediate consolidation rather than a bull-market top, and lays out how to navigate momentum – separating traders from long-term investors, using risk controls and staged exits, watching key support levels, and tracking the dollar, rates, and policy-driven critical-minerals news.

  • Segment 3 & 4 – Rick Bensignor, president of Bensignor Investment Strategies and writer of the institutional newsletter Supposedly Irrelevant Factors (and In The Know Trader products) wraps up the show discussing buying silver and palladium on the recent pullback while remaining bullish on precious metals, explains silver’s breakout and backwardation dynamics, anticipates a short-term 5-8% equity market correction before another rally fueled by money-market outflows, and analyzes the growing retail influence and shift toward 60/20/20 portfolios favoring alternative assets like gold, crypto, and PGMs.

    Granny’s teapots made it in to the silver buyers, heading to the backed up refiners…

    DOLLAR : Gartley Bear Bust Possible
    If So, Gold/PMs Much Lower

      Yes, in a correction for gold, a rising dollar might matter but it’s far from a sure thing. A “strong” dollar is often really just a weak euro. There’s no gold in the dollar index, just other sh*t paper. That’s why the dollar is currently trading exactly where it was when gold was $1200. It’s also why the dollar went from 89 to 103 in 2021-22 while gold went sideways instead of down.

        P.S. There is a timing aspect to Saturation,
        which points to the FOMC meeting.

          Does saturation apply when you are at a bar or drinking green tea whatever is your poison! LOL! DT

    On Wednesday October the 22nd HydroGraph closed at $3.19 CDN. That evening they announced a $20 million life offering of units and the next day Thursday HG closed at $2.87 CDN. On Friday the stock recovered and closed above it’s pre-news release on Wednesday at $3.23.

    Wow! I don’t think HydroGraph is anywhere near its saturation point and when you consider the speed of the recovery this stock is only just leaving the gate. But Heh it is what it is it didn’t follow the typical pattern of going parabolic and then falling back to its norm just as quickly. The shorts are still around but why would you short a stock that is going to get a military contract, but for now HydroGraph has to wait for the government shutdown to end. But the buyers are still lining up so I expect to see the stock keep moving higher. Until then Happy Trading! DT 😊🤣🎉

          DT: Back in the 70s, when with Burroughs, I toyed with the idea of what I thought of as a ‘trinary’ number system, one based upon positive-null-negative ( + 0 – ) rather than binary ( 0 1 ), but did not follow through because of obvious production limitations. Little did I know that the Soviets had gone there earlier, with similar limitations.
          Imagine my surprise when I just now came upon the following YT video, where the term ‘ternary’ is used for the same thing. But here’s the real kicker: at 14:25 the absolute necessity for graphene is brought up to make this viable in production!
          Has this been brought up yet by the HydroGraph connections?
