Jim Rickards Gold Gold will bottom near $4,000 per ounce during the current pullback
See quote
[6:53] I think the bottom is probably closer to $4,000 an ounce. We'll see. But my point is, it's not, as long as you can understand what's going on, it's not a reason to panic. It's not a reason to sell all your gold. I think it'll be foolish. Quite the opposite, if you don't have any gold or perhaps you want to increase your allocation, it's a great buying opportunity.

Jim Rickards Fed Funds Rate The Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at the upcoming meeting rather than pause
See quote
[18:19] rate cuts are off the table, so forget rate cuts. Uh now, so the question is, will the Fed continue the pause, which has been in place since last December, or will they raise? That's a close question... I think it's close. I don't want to put a stake in the ground but don't be surprised if they raise rates. Now that's a stupid thing to do. That that that's my forecast. It's a big mistake, but it's the Fed.

The prediction claimed stock markets would 'go down more,' but the S&P 500 reached a period low of $4835.04 (14.1% decline from $5633.07) before recovering to $6845.5 (21.5% gain) by year-end, meaning markets ultimately went up significantly rather than down as predicted.
