Take a stroll down Sydney's Martin Place in the last week and you'll see the queues for miles. People lined up, patiently waiting to get access to gold, which broke through the spot price of $US4000/oz last week and shows no signs of slowing down.

Follow those lines to the front and you realise all those people are queuing to get into ABC Bullion: easily one of the most recognised precious metals companies in the nation.

ABC Bullion's managing director and good friend of all things Switzer, Jordan Eliseo, jumps in the hot seat this week to talk about how he got the Midas touch.

Jordan shares his remarkable journey from young investor to one of Australia’s best-known voices on gold, metals and markets. Peter explores how Jordan's earliest lessons on a small Adelaide farm shaped his investment mindset, and how two decades in the precious metals world have taught him about value, patience, and risk.

The conversation covers why the tech crash of the early 2000s first drew Jordan toward gold, how he balances optimism for equities with the security of hard assets, and the practical ways he manages his own diversified portfolio — from ETFs and emerging markets to the occasional Bitcoin trade. He explains how to think about risk, asset allocation, and when to take profits, plus why he believes the next decade may challenge traditional views on bonds as defensive assets.

Jordan also shares the thinkers and ideas that most shaped his approach, from Warren Buffett’s realism to Bill Bonner’s “trade of the decade,” and outlines why he sees long-term opportunity in gold and in global growth outside the United States.

The episode closes with a timely question: if markets crash again, what happens to gold — and how can investors prepare for that moment?
