## Resource

The free version of Episode 363 of Investing in Bizarro World is now live. This week, Nick and Gerardo are back from site visits and trying to make sense of a world where everything feels broken — while markets keep ripping higher anyway. Gerardo opens with the tinfoil hat firmly on, running through Secret Service failures, Epstein file distractions, warrantless spying, Middle East whiplash, and the general feeling that institutional trust is collapsing by the day. Then Nick brings it back to the markets, where the dollar is weak, volatility has collapsed, stocks are back at all-time highs, and commodities continue to break out. From soft commodities to copper, lithium, uranium, and AI-driven industrial demand, the message is clear: the real world may be chaotic, but the market is still rewarding investors who stay positioned. The conversation also digs into what Nick and Gerardo saw on recent site visits in the U.S., why jurisdiction matters more than ever, how China’s mineral strategy continues to expose Western weakness, and why the lithium rebound may still be in the early innings.
