Weekend Show – Josef Schachter & Jeff Christian – Energy Volatility & The Precious Metals Weakness: Where Are The Best Investment Opportunities? 

Cory
March 21, 2026

 

This week’s show centers on the intersection of geopolitical conflict and market fundamentals. With the Strait of Hormuz facing unprecedented disruptions, the energy sector is bracing for a supply shock that could redefine the global economy. Simultaneously, the precious metals market is grappling with a “war premium” already baked into prices, leaving investors wondering if the next leg up is driven by fear or the looming threat of stagflation.

 

Please note, these segments were recorded on Tuesday, before the large move down in gold and silver. 

 

 

  • Segment 3 & 4 – Jeff Christian, Managing Partner of the CPM Group, wraps up the Weekend Show explaining why gold and silver prices remain consolidated despite escalating Middle East tensions and rising oil costs. He dives into the complex relationship between precious metals and energy, offering a reality check on market correlations and a long-term outlook on where investment demand and mining margins are headed next.

    Hi Ex, I was definitely tweaked by your recent write-up on Aldebaran Resources, I will have to look further into this stock, thanks, DT!

      Yeah, I was accumulating it this week to build a larger position into the weakness.

      I added SCZ from Shad‘s write-up

      Liked Shad‘s comment: „I see the stock INSANELY undervalued at this point“ 😀

      Might need to add some more next week

        I am stunned at just how much Santacruz Silver pulled back (almost 60%) in the month March, when it was finishing up it’s best quarter ever from a record margin and record revenue standpoint. The selldown in the face of record setting fundamentals has been quite the market disconnect, and I’ve been adding to SCZM as well.

    While the price is correcting, the accumulation/distribution line has surged higher, signaling strong buying taking place behind the scenes.

    I’ve never seen it so quiet around here, it must be the fear of the unknown. If the markets crash it will be the shot heard around the world. Margin calls are causing a sell-off in precious metal but if it continues you will see forced selling. It was forced selling that caused the “CRASH” in 1929. It’s been a wild party that will end in a hangover. Don’t worry be Happy!” LOL! DT 🎉😍🤣

      In my case, it’s the waiting for the known more than any fear of the unknown. 🥱
      But, as stated Friday, I will be a buyer this week.

      And you’re not worried about monthly bearish engulfing candle?

        Mar 23, 2026 23:12 PM

        No I’m not, for several reasons. And of course one probably won’t exist when the month is over.
