The Hidden Truth About U.S. Housing Costs — And Why Gold Is Your Best Defense

If you feel like homeownership is slipping further out of reach, you’re not alone. But what if the real story behind soaring housing costs isn’t what you’ve been told? 

In this eye-opening video, Alan Hibbard exposes the monetary forces that have been quietly eroding housing affordability for decades — and reveals a surprising solution that most Americans overlook. 

What Happens When You Price Homes in Real Money 

Here’s what Alan uncovered: When you measure home prices in gold instead of dollars, monthly mortgage payments have actually decreased over time. 

Think about that for a moment. While your dollar-denominated housing costs have exploded, the real cost of homeownership — measured in humanity’s oldest form of money — has gone down. 

This isn’t just an interesting statistic. It’s a wake-up call about what’s really happening to your purchasing power.

The Fed’s Hidden Tax on Homeowners 

Since abandoning the gold standard, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies have created a perfect storm for housing affordability: 

  • Rampant money printing dilutes your dollars’ value year after year 
  • Interest rate manipulation whipsaws mortgage costs and home prices 
  • Persistent inflation silently steals from your savings and income 

These aren’t market forces — they’re policy choices. And working families pay the price. 

Your Financial Shield Against the Housing Crisis 

Alan’s message is clear: In a world where monetary policy undermines affordability, gold offers something dollars can’t — protection. 

While the Fed can print unlimited dollars, they can’t print gold. That’s why gold maintains its purchasing power when everything else loses value. It’s not just an investment; it’s insurance for your family’s financial future. 

The Window to Protect Yourself Is Closing 

With mortgage rates volatile, home prices at historic highs, and inflation eating away at savings, understanding these hidden dynamics isn’t optional — it’s essential.  

Every month you wait, the dollar in your pocket loses more purchasing power.  

Don’t let monetary policy rob you of your American Dream. Get the facts and start protecting your wealth today.

Gold Bull Market 2025: Why History Points to Huge Upside

Gold is making headlines again. Prices have surged to all-time highs, yet if history is any guide, this bull market may be far from over. In fact, comparing today’s gold rally to the explosive run of the 1970s suggests we could still be in the early innings of a powerful move.  Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard recently broke this down on The GoldSilver Show, where they distilled the 400-page “In Gold We Trust” report by Incrementum into the must-see charts every investor should know. Their conclusion? Gold could still have much further to run — possibly to levels that seem

The Perfect Storm: Why Silver’s 5-Year Supply Deficit Could Trigger a Historic Price Reset

The Supply Crisis Building in Plain Sight  For the past five to seven years, the silver market has been running on empty. Global consumption consistently exceeds production, creating a persistent deficit that’s draining above-ground supplies. Unlike paper assets created with keystrokes, silver is finite — and we’re using more than we’re mining.  In their latest Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard reveal just how severe this imbalance has become. This isn’t a temporary glitch; it’s a structural problem compounding year after year. When demand outstrips supply for this long, a reckoning is inevitable.  Industrial Demand: The Game Changer

Silver Squeeze Incoming? Fact-Checking the Viral Claims Rocking the Market 

Is the silver market on the brink of a massive squeeze?  That’s the question rattling around investing circles after a viral Twitter thread — highlighted in Mike Maloney’s recent video — claimed that silver deliveries are exploding, LBMA reserves are scraping the bottom, lease rates are spiking, and premiums in China are going wild.  In his latest deep dive, Alan Hibbard from GoldSilver separates hype from reality — fact-checking each claim with hard data from COMEX, LBMA, and Bloomberg. While some numbers don’t hold up, the overall picture still points to one thing: silver’s fundamentals are the tightest they’ve been

U.S. Tariffs on Swiss Gold Bars Spark Bullion Market Chaos

A shockwave just tore through the gold market. The United States has imposed a 39% import tariff on Swiss-refined 1 kg and 100-ounce gold bars — a move that blindsided traders, rattled refineries, and sent COMEX gold futures surging to record highs above $3,500/oz.  On the latest episode of The Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down why this unprecedented policy decision could disrupt not just bullion flows, but the entire global financial system.  “This is the type of stuff that can cause another global financial crisis,” warns Maloney. “Those without gold or silver could get hurt

Why Silver’s Supply Shock Is Inevitable 

Here’s something wild: most silver mines aren’t really silver mines.  Roughly 70% of all silver comes as a byproduct of mining for other metals like copper, zinc, and lead. That means silver production isn’t responding to silver demand — or even silver prices. And that’s a problem.  In the latest episode of The Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down why this strange dynamic is setting silver up for an explosive move — and why the supply side may be powerless to stop it.  Silver Supply Is Tied to Other Markets  Unlike gold, silver isn’t typically mined

Jobless Claims Jump by Most in 3 Months, Signaling Labor Market Softness

Initial unemployment claims in the United States rose to 235,000 for the week ending August 16, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week and the largest jump since late May. This figure exceeded economists’ forecasts of 225,000 claims, signaling that layoffs may be accelerating in a weakening labor market. The employment situation has been characterized by low firing rates but equally tepid hiring, as businesses grapple with President Trump’s protectionist trade policies that have pushed import duties to their highest levels in a century. Employment growth has slowed dramatically, averaging just 35,000 jobs per month over the past three

Gold Retreats Ahead of Jackson Hole as Investors Eye Fed Rate Cut Signals

Gold prices slipped slightly to around $3,340 per ounce as investors await Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole on Friday. The precious metal had gained on Wednesday after President Trump called for Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign. Markets expect the Fed to cut interest rates by at least 25 basis points next month, which would support gold prices since gold doesn’t pay interest. Gold has risen over 25% this year, reaching record highs, driven by central bank purchases and ETF investments.

From Safe Haven to Portfolio Staple: Why Rich Investors Now Hold 11% in Gold

Gold reached a historic high of $3,500 per ounce in April 2025, marking a 25% gain in the first half of the year, and currently hovers near this peak. The surge is driven by multiple factors: central banks are aggressively buying gold with 43% planning to increase reserves, the US dollar has fallen 8% despite high Treasury yields, and the Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates soon. Wealthy investors have doubled their gold allocations to 11% from 5%, while gold ETFs attracted $21.1 billion in Q1 2025. Analysts project gold could stabilize between $3,300-$3,500, with some forecasting prices reaching

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
