Heads Up Poker Podcast

Rich Checkan, President of Asset Strategies International, shares key insights from the 2025 Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, outlining why gold and silver remain critical hedge assets in today’s debt-driven economy. With U.S. debt projected to hit $55 trillion and inflation eroding purchasing power, Checkan stresses the urgency of protecting wealth through tangible assets. He highlights why central banks are buying gold in record amounts while Western investors remain absent from the market. Topics include the gold-silver ratio, falling premiums, credit card-driven liquidations, and five main reasons clients are selling metals despite rising prices. Checkan also explains the eight indicators he watches to identify the end of a bull market—and why none are flashing yet. With gold seen as long-term wealth insurance, he urges viewers to act now, accumulate steadily, and prepare for what’s coming.   Connect with Rich Checkan!
