Last year, #Silver started making sense to me when not many were talking about it. This year, #Copper feels like the same....
Physical copper trades 20–40% above futures, AI data centres need 40–50k tonnes, EVs use 3–4x more copper, supply grows <1%, new mines take 7–10 years !
That is why I am getting bullish on Cu : very powerful setup! Maybe even more powerful than silver.
✔️ Global copper demand ~26 Mt today, projected 32–34 Mt by 2035
✔️ Energy transition alone adds +6–7 Mt incremental demand by 2035
✔️ Solar, wind, EVs, grids account for 65%+ of future demand growth
✔️ Average new copper project capex: $15,000–20,000 per tonne
✔️ Copper ore grades fell from ~1.2% to <0.6% over 25 years
✔️ Discovery rate of large copper deposits down >70% since the 1990s
✔️ Only 8–10 major copper mines expected to start globally by 2030
✔️ Recycling meets just 30–32% of total copper demand
✔️ Global inventories below 3 weeks of consumption
✔️ Chile & Peru facing declining output despite high prices
✔️ Water stress affects 40%+ of copper-producing regions
✔️ Copper intensity in EV + charging infra is over 80 kg per vehicle
Just facts. #Copper v/s #Silver
As I wind down my 42-plus-year career, I still occasionally feel tempted to slip back into “Old Petey” mode. Right now, that temptation is to move heavily back into metals and mining.
There are three key reasons to consider it:
1 – In today’s unprecedented financial bubble, it is the only sector I could buy without fearing a serious loss of principal.
2 – My 42 years of experience finally give me an edge I would not have in any other industry.
3 – I became close friends with the smartest person I have ever met in the industry, Michael Gentile, who has already been a true “gold mine” for me and for others who have followed him in recent years.
Still, as compelling as it is to work more closely with Michael and the industry, the call I received from above towers over everything else.
That said, I can still suggest a few ideas and people for clients of our financial planning group, friends, and followers to consider in metals and mining.
· First, copper remains my favorite metal. Unlike gold, silver, and uranium, I never stepped away from it, and I am more bullish on it now than ever.

My significant ownership of NorthIsle Copper & Gold @NorthIsle_CG is my primary way of gaining exposure. There are also several ways to invest in copper through ETFs and individual producers.
· Gold and silver appear to be nearing the end of a much-needed correction within an ongoing major bull market. I favor shares over physical metals.
· Uranium, a market I have played twice in recent years with 100%+ gains in the stocks I discussed, is not yet a buy again. However, much of the overvaluation in the shares has been removed. Another 10% to 20% decline could make it attractive again.
I strongly recommend following Michael Gentile through his Saturday Morning Email blast: https://t.co/rJIGdxXaAM
Our planning group does not have deep expertise in metals and mining.
I can recommend three financial advisors I trust.

I will continue to comment on metals and mining for the foreseeable future. #gold #silver #copper #uranium #miningstocks

Jim Rogers just outlined the legacy approach to $SILVER: buy it, never sell it, and leave it for your grandchildren. With the metal at $57.28, his preference is a price drop so he can stash more in a closet.
Retail hears this and adopts physical hoarding as a primary strategy. The mechanism they miss is capital duration. When legacy money treats a non-yielding commodity as insurance, the position is a tiny fraction of a portfolio generating heavy yield. Their holding period is infinite.
The crowd tries to replicate this without the necessary balance sheet. Locking limited capital into physical metal under a bed guarantees zero yield. They absorb the total opportunity cost of dead equity. When a commodity consolidates for a decade, that trapped capital bleeds real purchasing power.
Stashing assets in the dark works when you are wealthy enough to ignore them. Are you actually preserving wealth, or just starving a portfolio that still needs to grow?
