My goodness...Gold and silver just keep going.Silver just hit $101/oz, while gold rose above $5,000/oz.Two huge milestones in a single day.For silver, we described this move pretty well as it developed. Industrial demand is soaring from electronics and solar panels. And now that investors are jumping on board, this explosive move is the result.But gold is arguably sending an even more urgent messa...Read More
We need to talk about the difference between physical gold and gold miners.Physical gold, the actual metal, is insurance. Unlike a country's currency, gold is an asset without being someone else's liability. That means it can't be frozen or sanctioned by another country. That makes it the asset of choice for financial institutions when there is risk of currency debasement and inflation.Inflation s...Read More
In March of last year, I wrote an article titled "Silver's 3x Upside".Silver was trading at $34.33 at the time.I expected the move to $100 to take until 2028, maybe even longer.Instead, silver shifted into vertical mode during the second half of 2025. It's currently trading at $111.69 per ounce, after briefly reaching $117.Lately, even I've been questioning whether it's time to take some profits.B...Read More
"Never open your article by talking about the weather."That' advice comes from one of the high priests of editorial writing, Mark Ford, who ran a bootcamp for writers which I attended long ago.

Today the weather IS...Read More

As the best conductor of electricity, it's highly useful in electric vehicles, solar panels, and even modern weapons systems.We've covered...Read More
Gold, silver, and miners are finally dipping after an insane run.Red days are no fun, but this is healthy for long-term bulls. We needed to slow down and consolidate gains.

Did you believe Jim Rickards when he coined the phrase "Mar-a-Lago Accord"?Did you believe Stephan Miran when he actually wrote the Mar-a-Lago Accord?If you did, you're way ahead of Wall Street. And lightyears ahead of Main Street.No one really believed until two days ago. Not Wall Street. Not the City of London. Not Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Singapore.That's when The Donald told the world the dollar w...Read More
Well, it's finally here.A major correction in gold and silver. It's pretty gnarly out there.A big dip was inevitable, as we've mentioned a few times lately.

Oof.Thankfully, gold is "only" down 11% and miners are down around 14%.At times like...Read More
