In this episode of Doug Casey's Take, Doug and I explore pivotal historical figures and events. From Malcolm X to Robert Mugabe to Nixon's legacy, Doug shares his characteristically unfiltered perspectives and personal insights on these controversial individuals, including some surprising takes on their character and actions.
We also dig into Doug’s take on the long-awaited Epstein files, inheritance strategies, and the generational divide between Boomers and younger Americans. Doug explains why he believes the stock market could face a serious meltdown within the next year or two.
Our conversation then shifts to gold markets, where we examine the staggering influx of 64 million ounces of gold into the U.S. in recent months—and what it means for the financial system. Despite gold’s recent highs, Doug remains bullish, stating flatly: “I’m not selling any gold just because it’s at a new high.”
We also cover Argentina’s political landscape, the future of mining stocks, and the trade-offs between holding cash and equities in a dollar devaluation scenario.

P.S. As we discussed in this episode, around 64 million ounces (2,000 metric tons) of gold have flowed into the U.S. since December. That’s nearly a quarter of the gold America claims in its official reserves. I’m convinced this is tied to Trump’s plan to overhaul the American economy and monetary system. It’s unprecedented.
