2026-06-16
CRITICAL MINERALS / ANTIMONY
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
China controls ~85% of critical minerals including antimony (essential for defense explosives), and owning a producer with both gold and antimony exposure provides asymmetric upside as supply constraints tighten
“China controls probably 85% of the critical minerals in the world”

2026-06-16
COPPER
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
AI infrastructure buildout requires massive copper demand while new mine supply takes years and enormous capital to bring online, and deglobalization is causing countries to hoard raw materials, supporting a commodity supercycle over 8-10 years
“If you really believe the AI narrative... you're going to have to have a lot of copper”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
UNP
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Union Pacific is irreplaceable infrastructure that cannot be rebuilt in the current regulatory environment, with potential merger with Norfolk Southern as an additional catalyst
“They're trying to merge it with Norfolk and Southern. If they do it, it will be fantastic. Can't replace that”

2026-06-16
GOLD
owns
Julia La Roche Show · video
Gold miners corrected ~30-35% from early-year highs after being trimmed as too expensive, creating a re-entry opportunity as the multi-year gold bull thesis (currency reserve substitution) remains intact
“Those minor stocks are down 30%... so we added back some miners, added back some gold bullion itself”

2026-06-16
Private Credit
bearish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Companies paying 11-12% to private credit lenders are borrowers banks have already rejected on credit quality grounds, guaranteeing elevated defaults; the product is oversold to pension funds and family offices who would have done better in public markets
“If you'll buy it, they'll sell it to you... more than likely you've got a lot of leverage and a lot of poor companies”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
EPD
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Enterprise Products Partners is irreplaceable pipeline infrastructure — like railroads — impossible to replicate given permitting constraints, paying 7-8% tax-advantaged yield with durable cash flows
“When you own these pipelines, you really own something... it's like the railroads today”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
ENERGY
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Chevron is cheap with 4.5-5% dividend yield while oil majors internally project oil going to $150 as US strategic reserves are depleted and storage tanks are near minimum operational levels
“Energy is cheap. You get great dividends in energy. You can get six, seven, 8%”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
NATURAL GAS
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
AI data center buildout requires enormous energy; natural gas is the primary fuel source for that infrastructure and is currently cheap on a relative basis
“If you really believe the AI narrative... you're going to have to have a lot of natural gas”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
MTDR
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Matador Resources is a small-cap energy producer with strong fundamentals and multiple positive catalysts, bought at a discount as energy remains a cheap, underowned sector
“Matador. It's a great small company. A lot of things going on at that company”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
AII
owns
Julia La Roche Show · video
China just restricted tungsten exports to Japan, and Almonty is a well-positioned tungsten miner with earnings inflection coming — critical defense mineral with a chokehold supply dynamic
“China told Japan we're not going to sell you more tungsten. Now we own Elante which is a really good tungsten company”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
FCX
owns
Julia La Roche Show · video
Freeport-McMoRan is a direct play on copper demand from AI infrastructure buildout and a commodity supercycle driven by supply constraints and deglobalization-driven resource hoarding
“We own Freeport McMoRan, but we own copper outright as well”
Ted Oakley: We're Toward The End, Late Stage Market, Lemmings Everywhere
2026-06-16
AR
owns
Julia La Roche Show · video
Natural gas producer trading at ~7.5x earnings is a cheap way to own AI energy infrastructure demand; fundamentals are deeply discounted relative to the secular tailwind
“We own like Antar at seven and a half times earnings. Think about that”
