"My final advice is don't look at it and go, 'Oh, it's too expensive.' No, your currency is just getting weaker and weaker, and that trend is not going to change," said Craig Hemke of TFMetalsReport.com.

2026 has begun, and the Investing News Network (INN) is looking forward to the new year.
To kick it off, our team asked nine experts to share their highest-conviction sectors.
Here's what they had to say.
1. John Rubino — Silver
After silver's record-setting 2025 run, it's no surprise that it topped the list for many of the people INN spoke to. Here's Substack newsletter writer John Rubino summing up the case for silver.
2. Peter Schiff — Silver, mining stocks
Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Asset Management and Schiff Gold mentioned silver too, although he also said he sees mining stocks overall doing well.
3. Craig Hemke — Silver-mining stocks
Similarly, Craig Hemke of TFMetalsReport.com is bullish on silver, but said his choice for top-performing asset of 2026 would be silver-mining stocks.
4. Byron King — Gold
While silver was definitely in the spotlight, gold wasn't forgotten by the market watchers INN talked to. Byron King of Paradigm Press highlighted the yellow metal's ability to preserve wealth.
5. Chris Temple — Uranium
Uranium also came up multiple times in INN's conversations, with the overall concept being that the long-term story looks positive given strong demand and tightening supply.
6. Lobo Tiggre — Copper
Copper also took the top spot for a number of the experts INN heard from, including Lobo Tiggre of IndependentSpeculator.com. Copper was his highest-confidence trade for 2025, and he chose the base metal again for the year ahead.
7. Rick Rule — Oil/gas, small-scale community banks in the US
Unsurprisingly, Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media went outside the box.
8. Gareth Soloway — "Defensive names" like Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)
Gareth Soloway of VerifiedInvesting.com also had an alternate take. Although he believes gold will perform well in 2026, he said it won't necessarily be the top-performing asset.
9. Clem Chambers — Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)
Finally, Clem Chambers of aNewFN.com spoke about why he sees promise in Intel.

Josef Schachter, president and author at the Schachter Energy Report, shares his thoughts on oil and natural gas prices, supply and demand in 2026.
"I think before the cycle is over, the 2007 high of US$147 (per barrel) will be breached, because the industry cannot respond quickly by bringing on new oil," he said.

2025 was a breakout year for gold and silver, and throughout its twists and turns the Investing News Network (INN) turned to experts for help navigating the markets.
The INN team spoke with dozens of industry insiders over the course of the year, spending time with seasoned professionals who can provide guidance on the way forward.
As the year wraps up, INN is counting down the five most popular guests of 2025. Read on to learn who grabbed our audience's attention, and watch the videos to find out what they had to say.
Don Durrett: Gold, Silver Price Targets and 15 "Must-Own" Silver Stocks
Kicking off the list in the fifth spot is Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com.
In this January interview, Don shared his silver and gold price outlook for 2025, as well as his 15 "must-own" silver stocks. We don't have time here for the full list, but I'll leave the link to the video below. For now, here's Don talking about why he's so bullish on silver and gold stocks.
Peter Grandich: Gold Mines Set to Print Cash as Price Hits New Highs
Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich & Co. is next.
This interview is from all the way back in February, when gold was still around US$2,800 per ounce. Peter talked about how US$5,000 was no longer sounding outlandish to him, and also explained how the higher gold price could impact mining companies.
Vince Lanci: Silver's London Liquidity Crisis — What's Happening, What's Next
Vince Lanci of Echobay Partners is always a popular guest, and in mid-October he helped break down unusual dynamics in silver, which had broken through US$50 per ounce.
Ed Steer: Silver Rally Now Unstoppable, Price to Hit Triple Digits
Ed Steer of Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Digest comes in at number two. This interview is also from mid-October, and in it Ed weighed in on the silver market's complex inner workings. Ed also gave his thoughts on the precious metal's long-term prospects.
Rick Rule: Gold Strategy, Oil Stocks I Own, "Sure Money" in Uranium
Finally, our most popular interview of 2025 was with none other than Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media. In this early November conversation, he said he had recently sold 25 percent of his junior gold stocks; he also explained why he did it and how he redeployed that capital.

Jeffrey Christian, managing partner at CPM Group, shares his outlook for gold and silver in 2026, explaining why he expects higher prices for the metals.
"We think that 2026 is going to be a more hostile environment than 2025, and that will cause investors to buy more gold and silver. So we're expecting gold and silver prices to spike higher than they are today at times during 2026," he explained.

Lobo Tiggre, CEO of IndependentSpeculator.com, described uranium’s key role in providing baseload energy, a narrative that is only being heightened by added artificial intelligence data center and electric vehicle (EV) demand projections.
“The use case is baseload power. There’s no substitution, and the world is building like gangbusters,” he explained. “If the EV story completely went away, it wouldn’t undo the thesis for uranium, It would remove a tailwind, not the base story.”
