Heads Up Poker Podcast

Tom Hartel, an experienced individual investor, joined the 2025 Rule Symposium to share his journey from learning stocks with his father at age 10 to decades of investing in natural resources. With over 30 years attending conferences, Hartel emphasizes the life-changing value of listening to industry experts. He highlights silver and platinum as top opportunities in today’s market, citing silver’s tendency to follow gold and platinum’s historic undervaluation, rarity, and rising industrial demand. His key stock picks include First Majestic, Sylvania Platinum, Pan American Silver, and Agnico Eagle—companies he believes offer strong upside and solid fundamentals. Hartel also sees platinum playing a critical role in hydrogen energy and hybrid EVs, supported by BRICS' full control of global platinum production. He encourages investors to keep learning and credits conferences like this one for helping him build long-term wealth.   Connect with Tom Hartel! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomashartel
