Excellent interview and analysis, although I have a hard time understanding Mr. Maguire as he speaks in financial market lingo and doesn't explain himself in basic terms that even a biologist can understand. I guess I'll be looking for silver soon.

Gold is a bit more K than Silver which is K too. The equity markets which only go back to about 1600 are r. Humans, too soon to say yet.

In biology, K-theory or r/K selection theory is an evolutionary hypothesis that describes two different reproductive strategies: K-selection and r-selection. K-selected species invest heavily in a few offspring, which is a strategy often found in stable environments and characterized by traits like long lifespans, late maturity, and high parental care. In contrast, r-selected species produce many offspring with minimal investment in each, which is typical of unstable environments and includes traits like short lifespans and rapid reproduction.

Its all about the math of probability that underlies all of statistics, which i only understand for 5 minutes after i refresh myself once a year or so. Biology uses it diffrrently than finance. But still. Same use of math, to describe risk or rabbits. Statistics.

Excellent interview with ' Andy ' as per usual + must agree with Maxmark's comment - howeat times not everyone can follow / understand fully what Andrew's outlining - it would be as well if he could try explaining things in the same terms as you do .
