Jim Rickards, Unscripted

The whole gang. One Zoom call. Tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET.

“I even got to see Jim smiling!”

That was Dolores W.’s reaction to our last major Jim Rickards event in Philadelphia on June 4, 2026.

She also admitted she was “madly trying to write down all of the tickers and what the companies do.”

B. O’Neal said: “This was by far the best investment event I’ve seen.”

JoAnn K. called it “wonderful and informative,” although she confessed she, too, had trouble keeping up with all the stock recommendations.

And John C. offered some constructive criticism: With 53 investment ideas flying around, he wanted to know which five or seven the experts felt strongest about.

Fair enough, John.

Tomorrow, we’re getting the gang back together. And there’s a good chance you’ll get some answers.

At 11 a.m. ET Thursday, Oct. 29, Jim Rickards will host a special LIVE Strategic Intelligence Roundtable.

It’s completely free.

And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you put Jim and his closest colleagues together without a carefully rehearsed script, this is your chance to find out.

Your Rundown for Wednesday, October 28, 2026...

The Gang’s All Here (Almost)

Jim will be joined by Dan Amoss, Zach Scheidt, Adam Sharp, Sean Ring and Matt Badiali.

That’s a remarkable concentration of investment experience, spanning stocks, income, precious metals, natural resources, geopolitics and global finance.

But one familiar face will be missing on Thursday. Byron King’s on the road, doing a little investigative legwork, and we look forward to hearing what he uncovers.

Otherwise, the rest of the crew is dialing in from across the country and across the Atlantic.

And don’t expect them to agree on everything.

“When you get this group together, you never quite know where the conversation will go,” says Paradigm’s VP of Research Aaron Gentzler, who will also host the event. “That’s what keeps me on my toes.”

“We’ve got some major announcements planned,” Aaron adds, “Jim’s election forecast and plenty of things we’d normally discuss behind the scenes.”

Remember, Election Day is just five days away.

Jim has been following the congressional races closely, and tomorrow he’ll share his latest assessment of where things stand.

There will also be investment ideas, specific stock tickers and plenty of discussion about the risks and opportunities taking shape in the markets.

But the real attraction is the conversation itself.

These are people who spend their days analyzing the financial world from very different angles.

Put them together on Zoom, turn on the cameras and let the discussion rip.

That’s when things get interesting.

“I expect some disagreement,” Jim told subscribers in his invitation.

And he’s reserving a substantial portion of the event for reader questions.

Gold? The Fed? Washington? The next market surprise?

It’s all on the table.

Jim and his colleagues can’t provide personalized investment advice, but they can explain what they’re watching, where they see pitfalls and which opportunities deserve closer attention.

And perhaps we’ll discover which five or seven tickers John C. should be watching most closely.

The Strategic Intelligence Roundtable starts tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 29, at 11 a.m. ET. Admission is 100% free.

BOOKMARK YOUR FREE ROUNDTABLE ACCESS LINK.

Bring a notebook. Bring your questions.

And Dolores, keep an eye on Jim.

You might even catch him smiling again.
