Counterfeiting precious metals is as old as money itself. Knowing how to spot fake gold starts with understanding how fakes are made.

The bars had already passed X-ray fluorescence testing and a scale check. With gold near all-time highs, the incentive for this kind of fraud has never been greater. The good news: most fakes can be caught before money changes hands. This guide covers how counterfeits are made, which tests work, what

A chart making the rounds recently makes a bold claim: gold may need to skyrocket—potentially to $26,000 — to match historical levels of U.S. debt coverage. At first glance, the argument is compelling. Today, U.S. gold reserves cover just about 3% of federal debt—near record lows. In 1980, that number was closer to 18%. Go back further to the 1940s, and it exceeded 50%. So yes… if gold were to “rebalance” against debt the way it has in the past, prices would need to rise dramatically.

Prices rose about 3% to roughly $5,070/oz, while silver surged 8–10% toward the $90/oz level. The bounce followed one of the sharpest precious-metals sell-offs in decades, with gold down more than 13% and silver nearly 30% earlier this week. Traders point to dip-buying and forced liquidations running their course as key drivers of the rebound. After crowded trades unwound, selling pressure eased. Many now view the drop as a technical reset, not a breakdown in underlying demand. Still, volatility remains elevated. Measures like the

Fed leadership pushed back immediately, warning that the action undermines the Fed’s independence. Markets reacted just as fast.

Solar manufacturing, EV components, and electronics are driving the surge — and some refiners say they’re running at full capacity while miners struggle to keep pace after years of underinvestment. Silver is behaving less like a sleepy precious metal and more like a high-beta industrial barometer.

These were investors who’ve been watching, waiting, and positioning themselves for this moment in the precious metals markets.

Few times in history has the silver market looked like this. In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unpack an extraordinary squeeze that’s pushing the physical and paper markets in completely different directions — and it’s happening fast. Lease Rates Explode: A Market Under Stress Silver lease rates — the cost of borrowing silver for short trades — have rocketed to over 33%, a level almost never seen. Under normal conditions, those rates hover near zero. A 33% spike signals something deeper: a market starved of liquidity. For short sellers, this is a nightmare.
Precious metals have taken center stage in global markets, with gold recently surpassing $4,100 per ounce and silver climbing above $51, marking their highest levels on record. This surge has captured investor attention worldwide, underscoring the renewed demand for tangible assets amid rising economic uncertainty. Understanding what’s fueling this gold and silver price rally is essential for investors seeking to navigate a volatile world. From Federal Reserve policy shifts to the return of inflation and the rise of central bank demand, here are the five core forces propelling gold and silver higher in 2025 — and why they matter for

Mike Maloney believes we’re witnessing the most significant turning point in the silver market’s history — and his latest video, Understand the Silver Squeeze, reveals why. From London to Tokyo, silver lease rates are skyrocketing — now higher than platinum’s — as bullion banks struggle to find metal to lend. “Nobody’s got silver,” one market insider told Mike. “Lease rates are 20 to 30 percent if you’re lucky enough to find a lender.” That’s not normal. It’s a sign of deep, systemic stress. For the first time in decades, even the largest players are admitting that there’s “no free-floating silver
Those who think they’ve “missed out” on gold are missing the point. As Mike Maloney puts it: “If a ship goes down, those who paid more for their lifeboats aren’t any less happy than those who paid less.” In his latest video, Mike describes what he calls the “lifeboat moment” for gold — a phase when physical demand surges, small bars vanish from the market, and ordinary investors rush to secure real metal before prices accelerate. This isn’t a headline-driven pop. It’s a turning point. The Small Gold Bar Shortage Has Begun In Tokyo, Japan’s largest bullion dealer, Tanaka Kikinzoku,
Gold has shattered records in 2025, surpassing the historic $4,000 per ounce milestone — and as of October 8, spot gold is trading as high as $4,041.71. Futures have climbed even higher, pushing toward $4,063.70. That’s up over 52% year-to-date. Even at these elevated levels, first-time investors are moving in, recognizing gold’s enduring role as a hedge against today’s economic uncertainty. Why First-Time Investors Are Embracing Gold at Peak Prices The rush of new gold buyers reflects a perfect storm of economic pressures that have undermined confidence in traditional assets. Persistent inflation, trade tensions, and growing doubts about central bank

If you’ve been waiting to stack more silver, now might be your last chance for a while. The global silver squeeze isn’t coming. It’s here. In his latest video, Mike Maloney delivers a blunt warning: physical silver is vanishing worldwide, premiums are surging, and the disconnect between paper and physical markets is hitting a breaking point. From mints in Canada to shops in Vietnam, supply is drying up fast. A Global Supply Shock in Real Time Australia, Africa, Canada, Vietnam, the U.K., and the U.S. are all showing the same signs: empty shelves, delayed shipments, and backorders stretching out weeks.

Gold is having its best year since 1979 — up nearly 50% in 2025 — but according to Mike Maloney, the real move hasn’t even begun. And when you look at what’s happening in the silver market, it’s easy to see why. The World Is Using Silver Faster Than It Can Be Mined Every 6.8 minutes, the world consumes as much silver as it takes miners 9.6 minutes to dig out of the ground. That imbalance can’t last forever. As Mike puts it, “Something has to give — and what has to give is price.” Silver demand is relentless —
For decades, a hidden war has kept precious metals prices in check. But the cracks are widening, and the system is slipping. As Mike Maloney explains in his latest video, this “criminal suppression” may actually be the greatest opportunity precious metals investors have ever been handed. The Dollar’s Collapse Against Gold In just three years, the U.S. dollar has lost 50% of its value against gold. Think about that. Half your purchasing power — gone. Wall Street can no longer ignore it. Jeffrey Gundlach, the “Bond King,” now recommends 25% gold exposure. Morgan Stanley has shifted its traditional 60/40 portfolio model into

Silver vs. Miners: A Strange Divergence Silver today looks extremely undervalued — both against inflation and compared to gold. Yet mining stocks, which typically amplify moves in metals, have lagged badly since the mid-2000s. The HUI index (a benchmark for mining companies) has been in a long decline relative to gold, though Lundin believes it may now be breaking that downtrend. If miners start to “catch up” to silver’s rally, the leverage could be enormous. History shows that when this gap closes, the moves can be fast and violent — rewarding those positioned early. Two Core Reasons to Own Gold
For decades, sound money advocates have leaned on a simple, tidy idea: gold is valuable because it’s scarce. But what if that argument misses the point entirely? In his latest video, Alan Hibbard takes aim at the “scarcity” narrative and replaces it with a more precise—and more powerful—mental model: arduousness. It’s not just about how rare something is. It’s about how hard it is to inflate its supply. If you’ve ever used scarcity to defend gold… you might want to rethink that. Scarcity vs. Value: Not the Same Thing Let’s start with a quick thought experiment: if gold is valuable

Silver’s bull market is no longer just a rally — it’s a structural shift. For the first time in history, silver has held above $40 for more than 20 straight trading days, a streak that eclipses both the 1980 hyperbubble and the 2011 run. But as Mike Maloney warns in his latest update, the real story isn’t just the strength of this rally — it’s the fragility of supply. A single “failure to deliver” could cause silver to gap higher, skipping entire price levels overnight. Let’s break down the key insights from Mike’s analysis. The $100 Overnight Risk “If there’s
If you’ve been wondering whether silver is still “cheap” after its latest rally, Mike Maloney’s framework makes the case loud and clear: relative to gold, silver remains one of the most undervalued major assets on the planet. The lens that reveals this is the gold–silver ratio (GSR)—how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Understand this ratio, and you’ll see why Mike expects powerful moves ahead, plus how disciplined investors can turn that volatility into more gold over time. The Core Imbalance: What We Dig Up vs. What Markets Price In Start with supply. Today’s
Silver is heating up like never before. Prices are within striking distance of record all-time highs, and multiple forces — technical, fundamental, and supply-driven — are aligning to suggest the rally may just be getting started. In his latest update, Mike Maloney lays out why he’s personally adding to his silver position, even at levels above $33 (a price point he’s never paid before). Here’s what you need to know about silver’s setup — and why it could be on the verge of an historic breakout. Silver Nears Record Highs On the heels of a stunning rally, silver has jumped

Layer in Schumpeter’s business cycle, and you’ve got a cheat sheet for knowing which plate to pile higher.

In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unveil one of the most eye-opening charts they’ve ever presented. While most headlines focus on the $7 trillion parked in U.S. money market funds, Mike makes a case that more than $20 trillion in ultra-liquid capital could soon come flooding into safe-haven assets — gold and silver chief among them. What makes this episode essential viewing is not just the number itself — it’s how it’s built, what it signals, and why this time truly is different. More Than Money Markets: The Real Liquid Capital Pool The
You’ve probably heard Mike Maloney mention the dollar milkshake theory recently — and for good reason. This vivid metaphor captures one of the most important dynamics in global finance today. Picture the U.S. dollar as a giant straw, sucking up capital and liquidity from around the world like a milkshake. As the world’s reserve currency, the dollar pulls money into the U.S. financial system during times of stress — often leaving other economies gasping for air. What Is the Dollar Milkshake Theory? Popularized by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, the theory explains a dangerous paradox. When global uncertainty rises, investors
Alan Hibbard recently tackled some of the toughest questions our community has about Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In this thought-provoking video, he explores whether Bitcoin is truly money, why companies abandoned it as a payment method, and how it compares to the time-tested value of gold and silver. Below are some of the key takeaways from his analysis. Bitcoin: Commodity, Currency, or Store of Value? One viewer argued that Bitcoin can’t be a commodity because it isn’t on the periodic table of elements. Alan quickly counters: plenty of commodities aren’t elements — think lumber, corn, or soybeans. By market definition,
The silver market is flashing signals we haven’t seen in decades. In his latest video, Mike Maloney explains why silver’s chart pattern — the classic “cup and handle” — has broken out on major time frames, and why that could point to three-digit silver prices in the years ahead. Let’s unpack the key highlights from Mike’s update. The Cup-and-Handle Breakout On daily, weekly, and especially quarterly charts, silver has now completed a cup-and-handle pattern that technical analysts have been watching for years. Historically, this formation precedes major upside moves. Mike notes that silver hasn’t closed above $40 on a quarterly
If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, learning how to track gold and silver prices isn’t optional—it’s essential. In today’s volatile markets, having real-time access to accurate price data can mean the difference between catching an opportunity and missing it entirely. Whether you’ve been stacking metals for decades or you’re just starting to diversify beyond paper assets, monitoring precious metals prices helps you stay ahead of inflation, currency debasement, and the next Fed policy surprise. Why Real-Time Data Matters More Than Ever Here’s the reality: Gold and silver markets move 24/7. They react to every Fed announcement, every geopolitical tension,
For thousands of years, civilizations have turned to gold as the ultimate store of wealth. But is it because of some mysterious “intrinsic value”? Alan Hibbard argues that the real reason gold has endured isn’t mystical at all — it’s practical. In his latest video, he explains why gold has remained money while countless other forms of currency have faded away. Rethinking “Intrinsic Value” Many people — from Aristotle to modern economists — have claimed that gold’s role as money comes from its “intrinsic value.” After all, it’s a tangible metal with uses in jewelry, art, and technology. But as
Gold steadies near $3,700 while silver surges past $43 —
Gold has surged to record territory, briefly touching $3,700 before pulling back. This milestone, driven by economic fragility, Fed policy shifts, and rising investor anxiety, has many asking: is a correction looming before the next leg up? With interest rates falling for the first time in years, geopolitical flashpoints multiplying, and global central banks aggressively stockpiling gold, the case for long-term bullishness is strong. But in markets, even the strongest trends pause—and investors need to prepare. Current Gold Market Landscape Gold’s recent performance reflects more than just inflation fear — it’s a structural shift in how capital views risk. The

UBS, the Swiss banking giant, recently made waves in the precious metals markets by raising its gold price forecast to $3,800 per ounce by late 2025. If this prediction materializes, that would be a significant 45% increase in 2025. Pretty incredible performance, but how does that stack up against other major years for precious metals? Understanding UBS’s Bullish Gold Prediction The investment bank’s dramatic upward revision from its previous target reflects a confluence of factors that could drive gold to historic highs. UBS analysts point to several key catalysts, including anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, persistent geopolitical tensions, and a
The Fed’s first rate cut since 2020 may arrive today.
In his latest video, Mike Maloney delivers a powerful and urgent message for investors: silver is not just undervalued — it’s poised for a potential breakout that could rival or even exceed its historic surge in 1980. Based on the math, history, and current global conditions, a $200 per ounce silver price is not only attainable, it may happen much faster than most expect. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, wondering if you missed the window on precious metals, Mike offers a clear and compelling alternative: Buy silver. The “CP Lie” and the True Price of Silver

Goldman Sachs recently made headlines predicting that gold could reach $5,000 per ounce if Donald Trump undermines the Federal Reserve’s independence. But as Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard explain on the latest GoldSilver Show, that estimate may be far too low. In fact, history, central bank behavior, and global buying patterns all suggest much higher levels are possible. Wall Street Finally Wakes Up For years, major banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan dismissed gold as an investment. When gold traded at $400 or $700 an ounce, they urged investors to look elsewhere. Now, with gold having surged over 40% in
Silver surges past $42 to a 14-year high as the
If you’ve been watching silver this year, you already know we’re witnessing something extraordinary. At $42 per ounce, silver has just reached heights not seen in over a decade, and with a stunning 45% gain year-to-date, it’s outpacing nearly every major asset class in 2025. This silver price forecast suggests the rally is far from over. But here’s what makes this rally different from the ones we’ve seen before — and why Mike Maloney believes we’re still in the early stages of a much bigger move. Silver Smashes Resistance: What It Means When silver crossed $42 this week, it wasn’t
In his latest Gold Silver Show episode, Mike Maloney warns: “We are really in the endgame of a monetary reset.” Here’s why he’s betting on silver — and what it means for investors. The $35 Trillion Problem The U.S. carries $35 trillion in debt with $2 trillion annual deficits. As Mike Maloney explains, this isn’t just unsustainable — it’s a mathematical trap. “The Fed is trapped. They are painted into a corner,” Mike warns. If the Fed devalues the dollar to reduce debt, investors will demand higher interest rates. But refinancing $35 trillion at higher rates would make interest payments
Economic conditions today echo the very patterns that have historically ignited major rallies in precious metals: sticky inflation, currency devaluation risks, and rising geopolitical tension. Gold has already surged approximately 38% this year, reaching $3,643 as of September 2024. Against this impressive backdrop, Goldman Sachs recently projected that the gold price $5,000 could be within reach as early as 2026 if current conditions persist. For investors, it’s a wake-up call to reassess portfolio positioning before the move happens. Key Takeaways Federal Reserve Policy and Dollar Weakness The trajectory toward $5,000 gold will largely hinge on Federal Reserve policy and
Daily News Nuggets | Today’s top stories for gold and silver investors September 10th, 2025 Inflation Watch: All Eyes on This Week’s Reports Key inflation data dropping this week could show prices picked up speed in August, with economists expecting 0.3% increases across the board. But here’s the twist: Even if inflation ticks higher, the Fed is likely to shrug it off and cut rates anyway. Why? The job market is weakening fast, and that’s become the Fed’s bigger worry. The central bank appears ready to look past any inflation bump and focus on preventing a deeper economic
Silver just surged to $41.96 — its highest level since 2010 — and according to Mike Maloney, this breakout is only the beginning. In his latest conversation with Alan Hibbard, Mike explores why precious metals are entering a new phase that could reshape everything from corporate strategy to the global monetary system. Here are the key insights from their discussion. The Coming Corporate Silver Rush Silver isn’t just another commodity — it’s the backbone of modern technology. From electric vehicles to solar panels, our green future runs on silver. And Mike warns that smart companies are about to face a
Daily News Nuggets | September 9th, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: Dollar Drops to 7-Week Low, Gold Strikes $3,659 The dollar just hit a seven-week low after disappointing jobs revisions sparked fears about economic weakness and reinforced expectations for aggressive Fed action. Gold responded predictably, jumping to $3,659.10 per ounce —another record that underscores its role as the anti-dollar trade. The jobs data revealed deeper cracks in the labor market than previously thought, with revisions showing fewer positions created over recent months. It’s a classic playbook: when
The spot price of gold changes minute by minute, reflecting a constant tug-of-war between markets, policies, and global risks. For investors, the key is recognizing the major gold price drivers that sit beneath those price swings. Understanding these dynamics doesn’t just explain where gold has been — it helps reveal where it could go next, and how it can strengthen a diversified investment strategy. The gold spot price moves minute by minute during trading hours, shaped by economic data, central bank decisions, and global events. Below, we’ll break down the five most important gold price drivers that consistently move markets.
Daily News Nuggets | September 8th, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: Gold Smashes Through $3,600 as Critical Fed Week Begins Gold soared to an all-time high Monday, smashing through $3,600 as investors bet on lower interest rates ahead. Spot gold peaked at $3,636 per ounce, extending this year’s remarkable 38% rally. What’s driving the surge? A perfect storm of factors: anticipation of Fed rate cuts, aggressive central bank buying, and persistent economic uncertainty. The milestone extends beyond U.S. markets — in Canada, gold topped CAD$5,000 per ounce, a striking achievement considering
Imagine walking into a gold dealer’s shop. You see gold trading at $2,000 per ounce on the news, but when you ask to buy, the dealer quotes $2,040. When you ask what they’d pay if you were selling, they say $1,960. That $80 difference? That’s the bid-ask spread in action. The bid-ask spread is the difference between what dealers pay you (the bid price) and what they charge you (the ask price). It’s essentially the cost of doing business in precious metals — and it directly impacts your investment returns. Think of it as the “toll” you pay to enter
Daily News Nuggets | September 5th, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: US Jobs Report Disappoints: Only 22,000 New Positions Added The August jobs report delivered a shock to markets this morning. The US economy added just 22,000 jobs last month — far below the 75,000 economists expected. Even worse, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%, its highest level since 2021. But here’s the real kicker: June’s numbers were revised down from a gain of 14,000 to a loss of 13,000. That marks the first negative jobs month since December 2020,
While retail investors have been selling gold and silver for 16 years straight, the world’s largest institutions are quietly positioning for what Mike Maloney calls “a global monetary system reset.” His latest video reveals why this disconnect could represent one of history’s greatest wealth transfer opportunities. The Retail vs. Institutional Divide Mike opens with striking data: retail gold and silver sales have declined steadily since 2008, even as prices hit historic highs. Global allocation to gold has dropped to just 0.5%—far below the historical 2% average. Meanwhile, institutions are moving aggressively: “The whole reason I started GoldSilver.com is to try
When you’re investing in precious metals, it’s not just about price performance — it’s about liquidity. Liquidity determines how quickly and easily you can convert your assets into cash without taking a hit on value. For investors seeking both security and flexibility, understanding the differences between gold and silver liquidity is essential. Understanding Precious Metals Liquidity Gold has long been considered the ultimate monetary asset. Its universal recognition, deep markets, and relatively low volatility make it easy to buy or sell virtually anywhere in the world. This gives gold superior liquidity and positions it as the cornerstone of wealth preservation
Daily News Nuggets | September 3rd, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: Gold Hits New All-Time High at $3,559 Gold surged to an all-time high of $3,559 per ounce, extending its record-setting run as rate-cut expectations, dollar weakness, and safe-haven demand fuel investor appetite. The metal is up more than 5% over the last seven trading days, making this one of its strongest weekly moves of the year. Analysts point to heightened volatility in global markets, concerns over central bank independence, and a rush into hard assets as key drivers behind bullion’s
Mike Maloney accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis when everyone said he was crazy. Now he’s back with an even more urgent warning: we’re witnessing the biggest stock market bubble AND the biggest real estate bubble in history — happening simultaneously. This has never occurred before. Not in 1929. Not in 2000. Not in 2008. The 200-to-Zero Exodus The most shocking data point in Maloney’s analysis? Last week’s insider trading ratio. Normally, corporate insiders sell their company stock at about a 3-to-1 ratio compared to buys. But out of the top 200 insider trades by value last week, there were
Daily News Nuggets | September 2nd, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: Silver Breaks $40 for First Time Since 2011 Silver broke above $40 an ounce Monday, breaking out to a 14-year high. With a 40% gain year-to-date, silver is leaving gold in the dust as investors bet on imminent Fed rate cuts. The metal briefly touched $40.79 before consolidating, with futures markets pointing to continued strength. The momentum is real — ETF holdings rose for the seventh consecutive month, reaching 800 million ounces in August. That’s the longest buying streak since
Silver just achieved something extraordinary. On August 29th, it reached $39.97 — within three cents of $40 — marking its highest level in nearly 14 years. But Mike Maloney’s latest analysis reveals something far more significant: silver has quietly set its highest monthly and quarterly closing records in 2,500 years. “Huge, huge news,” declares Mike, who’s been investing in silver for 22 years. “This isn’t just another rally.” The Historic Breakout Everyone Missed While headlines focused on the near-$40 price, Mike’s charts tell a bigger story. Silver has broken above every quarterly and monthly close from the 2011 peak. More
Gold and silver have never moved in straight lines. Their history is written in gold cycles — long stretches of dormancy, interrupted by explosive bull markets where both metals have delivered life-changing gains. For investors looking to add gold or silver to their portfolio, understanding these gold cycles is essential. It shows how gold and silver respond to inflation, crises, and monetary shifts — and why they remain indispensable wealth protectors today. The 1970s: Inflation Ignites Gold’s First Modern Super-Cycle When the U.S. abandoned the gold standard in 1971, gold was set free to trade. The timing could not have
Daily News Nuggets | August 29th, 2025 — Here’s what you need to know about today’s most important economic and precious metals news: Inflation Data Opens Door for September Rate Cut The Fed’s favorite inflation gauge came in exactly as expected this morning. July’s core PCE rose 0.3% for the month and 2.9% year-over-year, while overall PCE climbed 0.2% monthly and 2.6% annually. This goldilocks data — not too hot, not too cold — gives the Fed cover to cut rates at their September 16-17 meeting. Fed Governor Christopher Waller went public yesterday, backing a quarter-point cut and warning about deteriorating job conditions.
Why don’t we pay for coffee with gold? It’s a fair question — after all, gold has been considered money for thousands of years. But if it’s so valuable, why don’t we use it for everyday transactions? In a recent video, Alan Hibbard unpacks this common misconception, offering a powerful explanation of why gold still matters — not as a medium of exchange, but as a store of value. Below, we’ve broken down the key concepts from his talk, laying the groundwork for what will be a six-part educational series, Hidden Secrets of Value. What It Means to “Use” Money
Gold Steady as Investors Eye Friday’s Inflation Data Gold prices are treading water ahead of Friday’s key economic release: the PCE index, the Fed’s go-to inflation gauge. Spot gold hovers near $3,400 an ounce, with December futures at $3,447. Here’s what to watch: Markets are practically certain of a September rate cut, with CME’s FedWatch showing 88% odds. But Fed officials aren’t rushing to judgment. New York Fed President John Williams wants to see the data first, and July’s PCE is expected to hold steady at 2.6% year-over-year. The core reading — stripping out volatile food and energy — should
When you buy precious metals for the first time, it’s easy to make expensive mistakes. At GoldSilver, we’ve seen firsthand how investors succeed — and fail — when adding metals to their portfolios. More investors are turning to precious metals as a way to protect their wealth and diversify beyond traditional stocks and bonds. But here’s the thing, there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it. We’ve seen too many investors learn these lessons the hard way. That’s why we’re sharing the nine most common (and costly) mistakes people make when buying precious metals — and more
In a time of mounting debt, rising interest payments, and inflationary pressures, some in financial and policy circles are floating a bold solution: revalue the U.S. government’s gold reserves. In a recent episode of the GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down what gold revaluation really means — and why it might not be the silver bullet some hope for. Here’s a deeper look into the most eye-opening parts of the discussion. What Does “Revaluing Gold” Mean — And Why Now? The U.S. Treasury holds over 261 million troy ounces of gold, but it values them at just
Gold Hits $3,379 as Fed Drama Unfolds Gold climbed to approximately $3,379 per ounce Monday after President Trump announced plans to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The news rattled markets, weakened the dollar, and sent investors rushing to safe-haven assets. With legal battles over Fed independence likely to drag on, expect continued volatility — and potentially more upside for gold — heading into September’s Fed meeting. Keep an eye on Friday’s PCE inflation data for the next major market catalyst. Fed Independence Battle Heats Up In an unprecedented move, President Trump announced he’s terminating Fed Governor Lisa Cook,
Elon Musk’s silver demand is soaring for a reason. He doesn’t often shout it from the rooftops, but the industries he leads have an unspoken “love” for silver. Whether it’s powering Teslas, solar panels, or even playing a role in nuclear technology, silver’s unique properties make it a must-have for the green energy revolution. Let’s explore why silver is becoming one of the most critical metals of our time — and why Musk’s vision is fueling its demand. Silver: The Hidden Engine of Green Tech Silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal. That makes it irreplaceable
Written by: The MacroButler Beyond the fading grandeur of the G7 and G20—clubs of nations forged in the aftermath of World War II and now mired in economic stagnation and demographic decay—a new alliance has emerged on the geoeconomic map: BRICS+. This coalition—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—represents a rising league of nations determined to expand their trade influence, secure resource flows, and accumulate the economic surpluses that once enriched Europe’s great empires. First conceived in 2001 by ‘Government Sachs’ economist Jim O’Neill as “BRIC,” the term began as a mere market classification for economies whose growth threatened to
Gold is up big in 2025 — yet the skeptics are louder than ever. From cherry-picked data to false comparisons with 1980, the anti-gold narrative is working overtime. But when Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard fact-checked the latest hit piece, they uncovered something revealing: the critics aren’t just wrong — they’re selling something. Here are the key takeaways from their deep dive. The 1980 Peak Deception The article Mike and Alan reviewed commits the oldest trick in financial analysis: starting from gold’s most extreme bubble peak in January 1980. Yes, gold fell 60% from that historic high. But as Mike
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
Throughout history, the dominant world currency has belonged to the leading global power — Rome, Britain, and now the U.S. Since breaking from gold in 1971, the U.S. dollar has remained unrivaled thanks to America’s financial depth, military strength, and global trade role. But growing distrust in U.S. policy, coupled with sanctions and protectionism, has revived gold’s role as a safe haven. Attempts to create alternatives, like China’s yuan, the euro, or a BRICS currency, have faltered. With no credible replacement for the dollar yet, gold’s surge reflects both protection against U.S. unpredictability and a slow shift toward a multipolar
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
As economic uncertainty and inflation concerns continue to impact markets, more investors are exploring gold vs silver investment strategies for stability, diversification, and long-term growth. But if you’re just getting started — or even reevaluating your current holdings — you may be wondering: Should I buy gold, silver, or both? Let’s explore the pros and cons of each metal, how they behave in today’s market, and how to build a strategy that fits your investment goals. Gold vs. Silver in 2025: What Makes Each Metal Unique? Gold has long been viewed as a financial safe haven. It’s trusted globally, holds
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
Gold continues its impressive rally in 2025, rising over 25% and heading for a third straight year of double-digit gains—a performance streak unseen since the mid-2000s. The precious metal has broken from traditional patterns, ignoring typical drivers like real yields and dollar strength. Instead, geopolitical tensions, trade protectionism, and central bank buying—particularly from China and other emerging economies seeking to diversify from the dollar—have fueled demand. While gold lacks intrinsic valuation metrics and faces potential headwinds from higher interest rates and cryptocurrency competition, Rothschild & Co maintains a strategic overweight position. They view gold as a crucial portfolio diversifier and

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
Every second, millions of dollars worth of gold changes hands across global markets. In 2024, daily gold trading volume grew to an astounding $227 billion — a 39% jump from 2023’s $163 billion average. This explosive growth isn’t just a number; it’s a powerful signal of gold’s evolving role in modern portfolios and a roadmap for savvy investors. What Is Gold Trading Volume and Why Should You Care? Gold trading volume represents the total dollar value of gold traded across all markets within a specific timeframe. This encompasses: Unlike many commodities, gold enjoys exceptional market liquidity — rivaling major currencies and
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
In 2025, investors seeking real safety should own physical
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
When it comes to retirement planning, one of the most common questions is: When is the best age to start a precious metals IRA? The short answer? The best time to start is right now. Seriously — the sooner you begin, the more time your investment has to grow and weather the ups and downs of the market. Why Precious Metals IRAs Matter Precious metals IRAs offer a unique way to diversify your retirement portfolio. Unlike traditional IRAs that mostly hold stocks and bonds, these accounts let you own real physical precious metals like gold — all within a tax-advantaged
A fascinating chart overlay shows gold following the exact 1970s
Gold has always been a beacon during economic uncertainty, but what’s happening now is unprecedented. In his latest video with Alan Hibbard, Mike Maloney reveals a chart that suggests gold could reach $9,000 per ounce — and explains why this isn’t just another bull market. According to Mike, we’re witnessing something far more significant than a typical boom-bust cycle. A global monetary reset is fundamentally changing gold’s role in the world economy. The New Reality: Gold as Monetary Foundation This isn’t your grandfather’s gold rally. Speculation or inflation fears drove past cycles, but today’s movement reflects a seismic shift in
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

With alternative assets projected to reach $30 trillion by 2029, institutional investors face trade-offs including illiquidity and valuation lags. Gold offers a complementary solution, bridging public and private market characteristics through its liquidity, low correlation, and resilience during systemic shocks. Analysis shows gold maintains stable returns amid crises while private equity and private credit face valuation delays and liquidity constraints. Monte Carlo simulations recommend a 5-8% gold allocation within diversified portfolios containing roughly 25% alternatives to improve risk-adjusted outcomes and smooth volatility.
If you’ve ever watched gold prices in real time, you’ve likely noticed something fascinating — the numbers just don’t sit still. Every 15 seconds or so, the gold spot price refreshes like clockwork, creating a steady rhythm of movement that can feel both hypnotic and confusing. But what’s really behind these constant shifts? If you want to stay ahead in the precious metals market, you need to grasp why the gold spot price shifts so frequently — it’s knowledge that sets successful investors apart. Let’s break down what drives this rapid-fire price action, and more importantly, what it means for
In our latest video, Alan Hibbard walks you through over a century of market history — complete with live Excel dashboards — to show how gold can simultaneously boost returns and tame volatility. Here’s a closer look at the five most eye-opening takeaways. 1. Why Gold Truly Belongs in Every Portfolio Gold isn’t just a hedge against inflation or financial panic—it’s a powerful engine for growth. Drawing on fresh research from Goldman Sachs, Alan shows how even a modest slice of gold can improve your risk-adjusted returns. Over rolling 10-year periods, portfolios with 10–25% gold consistently posted higher Sharpe ratios

Silver is making headlines once again, breaking through barriers that have held it down for years. Recently, silver hit a remarkable 14-year high, closing at an impressive $39.33 per ounce. Many investors are now asking the critical question: What’s driving this surge, and can it continue? There’s a few major factors: Physical Demand Skyrocketing: On the COMEX, deliveries of physical silver are surging to nearly 2 million ounces per day — matching global daily production. This unprecedented demand underscores a looming supply squeeze as industries, investors, and short-sellers compete fiercely for limited resources. Critically Low Inventories: London Bullion Market Association
If you’ve started researching how to buy gold, you’ve probably come across the term “gold silver premiums.” But what exactly is a premium, and why is understanding it critical for your investment? What is a Premium? A premium is the amount paid over and above the spot price of gold or silver when buying physical precious metals. Think of the spot price as the raw market cost—the current trading price of gold and silver on global commodity markets. The premium represents the additional expenses involved in converting that raw metal into the bullion bars or coins that you hold in
Markets have become less sensitive to tariff announcements than they were earlier this year. Despite ongoing tariff threats from President Trump, stocks—including those most exposed to tariffs—are showing smaller reactions and continue to reach record highs. Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin notes that investors expect tariffs to settle at lower levels than initially announced, and key economic data has shown less impact from tariffs than feared. Optimism remains strong for the S&P 500, with projections of further gains driven by expectations of solid earnings growth in 2026.
In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard deliver one of their most urgent warnings yet: the stock market is in “insane bubble territory” — and the fundamentals don’t support the hype. 📉 The Buffett Indicator Is Flashing Red One of the most striking charts shared in the episode is the Buffett Indicator — total U.S. stock market capitalization divided by GDP. The number? Over 200%. For context, that’s higher than the peaks seen during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. Mike calls it “insane bubble territory,” and for good reason. In a

Some of the world’s most successful investors are quietly (but decisively) rebalancing their portfolios. And they’re not just reducing risk — they’re exiting traditional assets and reallocating toward something that’s been considered old-fashioned for decades: gold. Why the sudden pivot?

He examines what some of the most influential money managers and billionaire investors are doing right now — and why you should be paying attention.

Silver could be on the verge of a breakout. In the latest episode of The Gold & Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard explore a rare technical pattern flashing across multiple timeframes. The setup? A multi-year “cup and handle” formation already breaking out on 6-month, quarterly, and annual charts. Mike believes this pattern could push silver beyond $150—possibly to $300, $400, or even $500+ per ounce. That might sound far-fetched, but historical parallels suggest it’s not only possible — it’s happened before.

“Nobody can nail a peak. And if they say they can, they’re lying. If they do, they were lucky.” With those frank words, Mike Maloney opens up about one of the most challenging aspects of precious metals investing: knowing when to sell. While countless “gurus” claim they can time the market perfectly, Mike takes a refreshingly honest approach — one based on mathematical ratios, not crystal balls. The Two Ratios That Matter Most Instead of focusing on price targets (which Mike considers largely irrelevant), he watches two key ratios that have proven reliable across multiple market cycles: 1. The Dow/Gold
Gold, silver, and platinum are taking a breather after a big run-up—but don’t count them out just yet. Gold and silver are both up 26% so far this year, and platinum is leading the pack with a 54% surge. Prices have leveled off recently, especially for gold, but experts say this is likely just a pause before another leg higher. The forces driving metals higher—like central bank buying, inflation risks, and a weaker dollar—are still in play. Plus, with interest rate cuts on the table, gold and silver could get a boost as holding metals becomes more attractive than short-term

Gold and silver have long been more than just coveted metals—they’ve been cornerstones of global commerce and monetary trust. Throughout history, civilizations relied on these metals not only for their beauty but for their unmatched ability to promote economic stability. For those exploring how gold silver economic stability continues to shape modern financial strategies, history offers profound lessons with enduring relevance. Understanding the historical role of gold and silver coinage helps today’s investors and policymakers make sense of a global economy full of volatility.

After reaching a record $3,500 per ounce in April, gold has lost momentum and pulled back approximately 5%, puzzling analysts who expected geopolitical volatility and dollar weakness to drive prices higher. HSBC’s chief precious metals analyst James Steele sees this as the beginning of a larger correction, joining other analysts like those at Citi who predicted a 25% decline. Why HSBC expects gold to fall: – Fading safe-haven demand as worst-case trade war scenarios haven’t materialized – Trump’s compromise approach to tariffs reducing deglobalization fears – Markets successfully navigating various crises, reducing the need for defensive positioning – Higher prices
The financial world is witnessing an unprecedented shift. Professional traders are shorting the U.S. dollar at levels not seen in 20 years, while central banks buying gold at record rates signal a deeper loss of confidence in fiat currency. In a recent episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard dissect this dramatic transformation and expose why the Treasury’s proposed “stablecoin solution” may be nothing more than wishful thinking. Everyone’s Betting Against the Dollar—But Should They Be? According to the latest Bank of America fund manager survey, professional traders are shorting the dollar in near-record amounts. As Mike

For decades, financial advisors have preached the same gospel: allocate 60% of your portfolio to stocks and 40% to bonds. It’s been the cornerstone of “responsible” investing, the safe harbor endorsed by nearly every major financial institution. Now, in a striking reversal, Goldman Sachs — one of Wall Street’s most influential voices — has released research that challenges this longstanding doctrine. Their findings? Adding gold to your portfolio doesn’t just improve returns slightly. It nearly doubles them. The Data that Debunks 60/40 In the latest episode of the GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard dissect Goldman’s groundbreaking research
Current gold market dynamics show interesting trends despite volatility from tariff discussions. Gold remains a foundational asset for central banks worldwide. The US Treasury holds 8,100 tons of gold across four locations (Fort Knox, NY Fed, Denver Fed, and West Point), valued at $42.22 per ounce on the Fed’s balance sheet, though market value is around $3,000. Gold is unlikely to face tariffs since most imports come from the UK (a trade surplus partner) and Switzerland (which refines 50-70% of global gold). Central banks have been major gold buyers for three consecutive years, purchasing over 1,000 tons annually to diversify

At Rebel Capitalist 2025, Mike Maloney and Russell Gray delivered a conversation that cuts to the heart of today’s economic shift. The Decentralization Mega-Trend Russell Gray sees three powerful signals of change: “We’re pushing back on monopolies,” Gray explains. The old gatekeepers are crumbling, and something new is emerging. Why Main Street Capitalism Matters Now Gray’s new platform, MainStreetCapitalist.com, focuses on a simple truth: we need to stop pushing paper and start building things. The math is clear. We can’t extinguish our debt through austerity. We need real growth—not 2-3% GDP, but 5-8%. How? By unleashing entrepreneurial energy on Main
Gold’s inability to sustain levels above $3,400/oz on three recent occasions might appear concerning, but UBS investment strategists argue this shouldn’t deter investors from maintaining gold positions. After struggling to break $2,100/oz until February 2024, gold has surged over 60% in 15 months, driven by both traditional factors (interest rates, inflation) and emerging concerns (trade conflicts, policy uncertainty). Central bank surveys reveal these factors remain highly influential in reserve allocation decisions. UBS recommends a 5% gold allocation for balanced portfolios, with a price target of $3,800/oz. For indirect exposure, gold miner bonds offer attractive 6% yields, benefiting from improved operational
At the recent Rebel Capitalist Live event in Orlando, Mike Maloney sat down with Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital to explore a surprising trend: gold and the dollar rising together. Known for his contrarian Dollar Milkshake Theory, Johnson challenges the conventional belief that these two assets can’t move up in tandem. Most investors operate under a simple assumption: when gold rises, the dollar falls, and vice versa. But according to Johnson, we’re witnessing something that many consider impossible — both assets rising simultaneously. The Dollar Milkshake Theory in Action “Fiat currency loses value over time — that’s just the nature
Goldman Sachs warns that oil prices could surge if problems arise in the Strait of Hormuz—the narrow waterway where much of the world’s oil passes through. The investment bank laid out what could happen: – If oil shipments through the strait were cut in half for a month, oil prices could jump to $110 per barrel – If Iran’s oil production falls by 1.75 million barrels per day, prices could reach $90 per barrel Why now? Tensions are rising in the Middle East. Iran is considering closing the strait after recent U.S. and Israeli military actions against the country. The
Gold fell to $3,355 per ounce despite escalating Middle East tensions after the US and Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend. After initially rising 0.8%, gold reversed course as the dollar strengthened. Why gold isn’t rallying: While geopolitical conflicts typically boost gold as a safe-haven asset, investors have two main concerns. First, they doubt the conflict will escalate significantly since Iran hasn’t retaliated and lacks support from Russia and China. Second, if tensions spike oil prices and fuel inflation, the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates high – bad news for gold, which pays no yield. The
Silver just did something it rarely does — outperform gold while staying completely under the radar. If you’ve been following the precious metals market, you know this is unusual. Gold typically leads, silver follows. Gold gets the headlines, silver gets ignored. But right now, something different is happening. And according to Mike Maloney’s latest analysis, this quiet outperformance could be the early warning signal of something much bigger. “This is exactly how the biggest moves begin,” Mike explains in his latest video with Alan Hibbard. “The best opportunities come when nobody’s paying attention.” Why This Time Feels Different The financial
Written by: The MacroButler The markets have dubbed 2025 not a Jubilee, but a fog—thick with the unknown. Investors fumble through it, sensing chaos, yet naming it uncertainty without grasping its nature. So let’ dissect the case of the Jubilee Year of Uncertainty. Frank Knight, the economist-sleuth of the early 20th century, cracked the code in 1921. In Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, he drew a decisive line: risk is measurable; uncertainty is not. Risk has odds. Uncertainty has shadows. “Uncertainty,” Knight wrote, “must be taken in a sense radically distinct from risk.” The former can’t be tamed by statistics. It defies
Brandon Sauerwein, Editor Yesterday, silver did something it hasn’t done in 14 years: closed above $37.12. This isn’t just another price milestone. It’s the breach of a resistance level that’s held firm since 2011 — through multiple bull runs, global crises, and monetary upheavals. The momentum is undeniable: Mike Maloney has been tracking this setup for months. In his latest analysis, he reveals why this breakout could be the precursor to a move that catches most investors completely off-guard… Silver Breaks $37 — What Happens Next? Remember when Mike predicted silver’s “slingshot move” back at $33? It just happened. Silver smashed
Yesterday marked a significant milestone for precious metals investors: silver closed above $37.12, a level not seen since 2011. This breakthrough represents more than just another number — it’s the confirmation of a major technical breakout that Mike Maloney predicted months ago. The “Slingshot Move” Unfolds Back when silver was trading in the $33 range, Mike Maloney identified what he called a “slingshot move” pattern forming in the charts. His analysis suggested that once silver broke through key resistance levels, it would accelerate rapidly through multiple price points. That’s exactly what we’ve witnessed. In recent weeks, silver has: Why $37.12
With market volatility and inflation fears on the rise, more investors are turning to precious metals to protect and diversify their portfolios. But that raises an important question: how much should you actually allocate to gold and silver? The answer depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and financial outlook. In this article, we’ll break down what makes precious metals such a powerful addition to your portfolio, and how to find the right precious metal allocation for your investing style. Why Precious Metals Still Matter Gold and silver endure because they’re tangible assets with intrinsic value—no corporate earnings reports or central-bank
For two decades, Mike Maloney has been waiting for this moment. The bestselling author of The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century believes gold has just entered the third and final stage of its massive bull market — the stage where it makes its greatest gains in the shortest period of time. “I’ve been waiting a long time for this,” says Maloney, who started investing in gold in 2002 and founded GoldSilver in 2005. “And the evidence is there.” The Three Stages of Gold’s Bull Market According to Maloney’s analysis, every major gold bull market follows three distinct
“The last time I saw silver behave like this, gold went on a historic run.” That’s how Mike Maloney opens his latest video analysis — and if you’ve been watching the precious metals markets, you know Mike doesn’t make statements like this lightly. With decades of experience analyzing precious metals cycles, Mike has developed an uncanny ability to spot patterns that most investors miss. And right now, he’s seeing something that’s only appeared twice before in the past 40 years. Both times, investors who recognized this pattern early had the opportunity to dramatically increase their gold holdings — without buying
Despite Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent assurance that the U.S. will “never” default on its debt, history tells a different story. The U.S. has actually failed to meet its financial obligations several times since 1789, including during the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the 1933 gold clause abrogation under FDR. With U.S. debt-to-GDP now above 120% and rising, concerns about long-term default risk are growing. Recent Treasury bond market behavior reflects this anxiety, with 30-year yields jumping sharply in spring 2025. While default isn’t imminent, the article warns that dismissing this possibility entirely is no longer prudent.
Silver just flashed a rare breakout signal — Mike explains
Is silver on the cusp of an explosive move? In a recent presentation, Mike Maloney revisited a long-standing chart pattern — one that has been over 45 years in the making — and delivered a bold forecast: silver’s breakout above $36 signals the beginning of what he calls a “slingshot move,” a rapid, potentially exponential rally that could usher in triple-digit silver prices in the near future. But while technical patterns tell part of the story, it’s the economic backdrop that makes this moment so compelling. Let’s unpack why this time may be different — and why silver could be
Gold and the S&P 500 are both nearing all-time highs simultaneously—a rare market event that reflects conflicting investor sentiments. While stocks typically signal optimism and risk-taking, gold represents safety and uncertainty hedging. This unusual tandem rise suggests investors are betting on both economic growth (driven by AI and potential Fed rate cuts) and protecting against risks like inflation, deficits, and dollar weakness. The gold-to-S&P ratio currently favors gold at 1.76, indicating some preference for safety. Experts compare this delicate balance to “spinning two plates”—possible but requiring specific conditions to sustain.
So, you’re thinking about investing in gold or silver? Smart move, especially with gold hitting an all-time high of $3,500.20 per troy ounce in 2025, and silver surging 15% already this year. But here’s something crucial many new investors overlook: understanding bullion premiums can be the difference between a savvy purchase and overpaying. Let’s break down everything you need to know about premiums so you can invest with confidence. The Two-Part Price Tag: Spot Price vs. Premium When you’re shopping for gold or silver, you’ll notice the price isn’t just about the metal’s value. Every bullion product actually has two
The U.S. government officially owns over 8,100 tonnes of gold—the largest gold reserve in the world. But surprisingly, it still values this gold at an outdated price of $42 per ounce, a number set back in the 1970s. This undervalues its gold holdings on paper at just $11 billion, while in reality, at today’s prices (over $3,000/oz), they would be worth closer to $765 billion. So why hasn’t the U.S. updated its gold valuation? Because a gold revaluation would send a clear message: the U.S. dollar has lost significant value. That’s not something policymakers are eager to admit. Still, during
Central banks are secretly accumulating massive amounts of gold – over 1,000 metric tons annually – as they diversify away from the U.S. dollar amid rising geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty. Most of this buying goes unreported, with trade data revealing mysterious gold flows through major refining hubs to undisclosed buyers. This shift stems from fears about currency weaponization and sanctions risk, making gold attractive as a neutral reserve asset that no single country can control. With many central banks holding far less gold than the global average, there’s substantial room for continued accumulation. This “silent revolution” in reserve management
Gold doubled in 42 days in 1979. The setup today
Gold prices are defying traditional market logic, approaching $3,400 per ounce despite expectations of a pullback. The key driver isn’t retail investors but central banks, which are secretly buying approximately 80 metric tons monthly. This shift reflects growing concerns about the US dollar’s reliability as a reserve currency, particularly as America increasingly weaponizes dollar access against both enemies and allies. Poland’s central bank governor captures the sentiment: gold is “free from direct links to any country’s economic policy.” The trend appears sustainable as long as geopolitical tensions persist and the US continues its “America First” approach to dollar policy.
Gold IRA vs Physical Gold Investment is a crucial consideration for anyone seeking stability in today’s economically uncertain world. As precious metals maintain their reputation as safe-haven assets, investors increasingly turn to gold to diversify beyond traditional stocks and bonds. However, how you choose to invest in gold can make all the difference. Whether through a Gold IRA or direct physical gold ownership, each strategy comes with unique benefits and key factors to weigh before making a move. Understanding the Fundamental Differences When comparing Gold IRA vs Physical Gold Investment, the key difference lies in ownership and storage. A Gold
Gold prices are up 40% this year while industrial metals like copper are down 10%. This unusual gap suggests economic problems ahead, as gold typically rises when investors are worried. Central banks and regular investors are buying gold for safety from inflation and political uncertainty. Some think gold is in a bubble since everyone’s buying it. But with stocks at record highs and potential economic challenges ahead, gold could go even higher if the market crashes. The big question: Is gold warning us about economic trouble, or is it just overpriced because everyone wants it?
During the 1970s, when gold doubled in price in just 42 days, investors who saw it coming transformed their wealth. Today, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard believe we are witnessing a similar setup, with the potential for an equally dramatic move. They provide a critical update on the gold market, breaking down why we may be entering the final—and most explosive — stage of the gold bull market. This insight cuts straight to the core of today’s financial landscape. Stocks, bonds, and the dollar are faltering. Central banks are steadily increasing their gold reserves. Meanwhile, geopolitical and economic tensions are
The gold-silver ratio has reached 100 – meaning you need 100 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. This is far above the 25-year average of 68, signaling that silver is historically undervalued. Why the gap? Gold hit record highs above $3,500 as investors sought safety amid economic uncertainty. Silver lagged behind because it’s not just a precious metal – it’s also widely used in technology and manufacturing, making it vulnerable to trade tensions and economic slowdowns. This creates both risk and opportunity. Silver is more volatile than gold, but it’s facing its fifth straight year of supply
There are many compelling reasons to invest in gold, especially in today’s unpredictable markets and economic landscape. As a time-tested asset, gold offers stability, helps preserve purchasing power, and acts as a powerful hedge against inflation and risk. Its ability to diversify your portfolio and withstand volatility makes gold an essential part of any resilient investment strategy. Here are ten compelling reasons to invest in gold and why it deserves a place in your portfolio in 2025. 1️⃣ Gold Protects Your Wealth from Inflation Gold’s scarcity and intrinsic value make it a reliable hedge against inflation.

Silver price prediction 5 years ago would have shown modest expectations, but the reality has exceeded most forecasts. If you had invested in silver five years ago, you’d likely be pleasantly surprised by your returns today. This impressive performance demonstrates silver’s potential as both an industrial commodity and a store of value for patient investors. Understanding how your silver investment would have performed through silver price prediction analysis provides valuable insights for future investment decisions and helps illustrate why silver continues to attract both conservative and aggressive investors seeking portfolio diversification. On May 22, 2020, silver traded at $17.21 per
In today’s volatile economy, protecting your retirement savings is more urgent than ever. Rolling over your 401(k) into a Gold IRA provides a proven way to diversify your portfolio with a real, physical asset: gold. This guide walks you through the six key steps—and shows how GoldSilver makes most of the process easy. Why Consider a Gold IRA? Traditional 401(k) accounts are typically heavily invested in paper assets — stocks, bonds, and mutual funds — that are vulnerable during economic downturns. Physical gold, on the other hand, has a centuries-long track record of holding value and even gaining during financial
Gold prices might be just getting started. Despite a recent dip to $3,200 an ounce, fund manager Jim Luke says $5,000 gold by decade’s end now feels like a “frankly conservative” forecast. Why? Explosive demand from China, central banks in emerging markets, and steady buying from the Middle East are powering the current run—while Western investors haven’t even joined the party yet. Luke sees a likely scenario where global demand converges, pushing gold sharply higher. Add in rising debt, geopolitical tension, and undervalued mining stocks, and gold’s bull run could still be in its early stages.
Gold has surged in 2025, peaking at $3,500 per ounce, driven by three key forces: Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have intensified demand for safe-haven assets. U.S. Fiscal Concerns: A $1.9 trillion deficit and potential tax cut extensions without offsetting cuts have rattled investor confidence. Central Bank Demand: Emerging market central banks are steadily increasing gold reserves to reduce reliance on the dollar. While gold recently dipped to $3,185, underlying fundamentals remain strong. Analysts expect prices could return to $3,500 by year-end—if macro and geopolitical risks persist.

Hedge fund manager David Einhorn argues that gold’s rise has more to do with trust erosion in government policy than inflation. He cites persistent deficits, deglobalization, and lack of political discipline as reasons investors are seeking the safety of gold. According to Einhorn, gold has become a hedge against fiscal mismanagement—not just currency debasement.

In the world of precious metals investing, gold has long been the darling of investors seeking stability and wealth preservation. However, savvy investors are increasingly turning their attention to a compelling silver investment opportunity—often called “the forgotten metal”—as a potentially more lucrative option in today’s market conditions. While gold continues to make headlines with its steady performance, silver’s time to shine may finally be arriving. Silver Investment Opportunity: A Proven Pattern of Following — Then Outrunning — Gold During periods of recovery and monetary uncertainty, silver has a habit of trailing gold’s rise—only to eventually outpace it. After the 2020
In today’s volatile economy, protecting your retirement savings goes beyond traditional assets. That’s why many investors are turning to Gold IRAs — offering the dual benefit of wealth preservation and Gold IRA tax benefits that can strengthen long-term financial planning. Whether you choose a Traditional or Roth Gold IRA, understanding the tax rules can help you build a more resilient and efficient retirement strategy. Understanding Gold IRAs and Their Tax Classifications A Gold IRA is a self-directed retirement account that holds IRS-approved physical precious metals—such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—instead of stocks or mutual funds. As highlighted in Why Gold
Written by: The MacroButler The Truman Show’s roots trace back to screenwriter Andrew Niccol’s dark idea, The Malcolm Show—a dystopian thriller about a guy unknowingly trapped in a corporate-sponsored fishbowl. Enter director Peter Weir, who swapped the doom-and-gloom for satire and cast Jim Carrey in a rare “no rubber face” role. By the time it hit theatres in 1998, The Truman Show was serving up Orwell-lite with a side of media critique, long before reality TV and Instagram influencers made self-surveillance trendy. The film warned us: if someone controls the camera, they probably control the truth. Fast-forward to today’s financial markets
As gold hits new all-time highs, many investors are rushing to take profits. But is that really the smart move? Precious metals expert Alan Hibbard went on One American News Network to makes the case that the biggest move in gold is yet to come — and selling now might mean leaving gains on the table. He breaks down: If you care about stability, clarity, and making informed choices in uncertain times, this is 10 minutes well spent.

Inflation has a way of sneaking up on you. It chips away at your buying power, distorts long-term plans, and quietly erodes the value of your money. But you’re not powerless. For centuries, investors have turned to precious metals as a defense mechanism. Creating a gold and silver inflation hedge has become a time-tested strategy for those looking to shield their financial future when paper currencies begin to lose their footing. In times of inflation—or worse, hyperinflation—these tangible assets don’t just survive. They shine. Whether you’re looking to safeguard retirement savings, hedge against economic uncertainty, or simply diversify your portfolio,
Behind the headlines: record debt, surging defaults, and a housing
In today’s uncertain economy, inflation isn’t just an economic buzzword — it’s a steady force that quietly chips away at your purchasing power. For retirement savers, that poses a serious challenge: how do you protect what you’ve worked so hard to build? Enter the Gold IRA — a self-directed retirement account that allows you to hold physical gold and other precious metals. It combines the tax advantages of traditional IRAs with the timeless value of tangible assets. For many investors, it’s not just an alternative — it’s a strategic safeguard.

Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard just released an eye-opening video — and if you’re serious about gold, you won’t want to miss it. In it, they unveil new data from Mike’s updated Gold Bull Market Chart, showing striking similarities to the explosive run of the 1970s. Based on current trends, the trajectory suggests gold could potentially triple within the next two years. This chart is pulled straight from Mike’s Amazon best-seller, The Great Gold & Silver Rush of the 21st Century — now updated with the latest data and market context.
Silver is flashing a historic signal. Right now, the gold-to-silver ratio is over 100 — a level so extreme it’s only occurred a handful of times in the past century.

Will you be ahead of the shift, or left behind?
Gold has recently hit record highs, up 41% over the past year and 113% this decade, outperforming the S&P 500’s 78% return. Historical patterns suggest silver may soon follow and potentially outperform gold. Silver typically lags gold during market downturns but often outshines it during recoveries due to its dual role as both a precious metal and industrial commodity used in electronics and solar energy. The current gold-silver ratio of 98:1 far exceeds the 30-year average of 68:1, indicating silver may be undervalued. This pattern has consistently repeated after previous market crises. Following the 2020 COVID panic, silver surged 73%

Brandon Sauerwein, Editor Since 2000: Gold +1,088% Returns | SPY +478% Returns What we’re witnessing isn’t just a bull run — it’s a reawakening in precious metals. In just the past month, gold shattered the $3,000 milestone and briefly touched $3,500 an ounce early Tuesday morning — a historic surge that has stunned even veteran investors. But this move isn’t happening in isolation. A perfect storm is unfolding: escalating tariff tensions, ballooning global debt, surging central bank demand (especially from the East), and a growing global shift away from the U.S. dollar are rewriting the rules of gold. Traditional forces

Is it too late to jump on the gold train?
Written by: The MacroButler As the “Forward Confusion” campaign hits full stride under the mandate of the ‘Disruptor In Chief’, one thing’s already crystal clear: Bitcoin is doing a stellar job, at not being a store of value. Despite the breathless hype from some in the new administration touting it as the new gold, or even a future U.S. reserve asset, it promptly peaked the day after inauguration and has been gracefully tumbling ever since. And let’s not forget Ether, lovingly marketed as “digital silver” for the YOLO crowd, it’s down nearly 50% since the start of the Jubilee Year.
The U.S. Treasury bond market is exhibiting alarming behavior that suggests economic trouble ahead, even as stock investors remain seemingly oblivious. On April 7, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warned that most CEOs believe we’re already in a recession. Oddly, this statement didn’t drive investors to the usual safe haven of Treasury bonds. Instead, the 10-year Treasury yield experienced a dramatic intraday swing—a rare event previously seen only during major financial disruptions like the 2008 crisis. Bond investors are increasingly distrustful of U.S. economic policy, fearing rising tariffs and returning inflation. This has fueled a flight to gold, which surged

When the economy starts to falter, smart investors often reach for gold. Acting as a proven gold recession hedge throughout market cycles, this precious metal offers a financial sanctuary during uncertain times. But why exactly do gold and silver become so valuable when times get tough? Throughout history, gold has been the go-to safe haven when other investments start to crumble. While stocks dive and real estate cools during recessions, gold often follows its own path — one that can help keep your overall wealth intact. What Makes Gold Special During Tough Economic Times? When recession hits, traditional investments typically
In times of global uncertainty, where should you put your money? Alan Hibbard’s latest interview makes a compelling case for precious metals that you need to hear. Alan reveals why gold remains essential in any portfolio and shares an insider’s perspective on silver’s untapped potential — and why it might eventually outpace gold’s performance (though with a bumpier ride). “Historically, silver outperforms gold during these bull runs, so it does ultimately rise a lot more in price — however, you pay the price of volatility.” For investors willing to weather the volatility, silver could offer much higher upside in the coming
Has the precious metals bull run left you behind, or is your real opportunity just beginning? Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard just released an eye-opening analysis comparing today’s gold market to the explosive 1970s bull run — when gold prices more than doubled in just 42 days.

From 2022 to 2024, gold and Bitcoin moved together as alternative assets, with gold gaining 67% while Bitcoin surged nearly 400%. However, in 2025, this relationship has broken down. While gold has gained 16% in 2025, Bitcoin has fallen more than 6% from its January peak of $109,000. Analysts argue Bitcoin’s previous growth came from major financial firms like BlackRock entering the market, along with government backing from El Salvador and US plans for a crypto reserve. Its recent decline stems from two factors: investors selling after positive news was already reflected in the price, and Bitcoin’s continued link to
Gold prices have soared to record heights, reaching $3,167.57 per ounce last week. The metal has gained 16% this year, following an impressive 27% growth in 2024. Analysts comparing today’s rally to the 1980s gold boom see key differences suggesting this surge may last longer. Today’s rally is driven mainly by geopolitical factors: President Trump’s aggressive tariffs, conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and deteriorating international relations. Unlike the 1980s boom—which ended quickly after the Iranian Revolution and oil crisis were resolved—today’s complex global issues seem unlikely to be solved through swift international cooperation. Other factors pushing gold higher
According to a recent article from Barron’s, the investment management industry is experiencing a fundamental convergence that’s erasing traditional boundaries between conventional and alternative assets, public and private securities, and institutional/wealth management solutions. This shift rests on four pillars: – the rise of multistrategy asset management – the end of traditional strategic asset allocation – the blending of public/private markets – and the growing importance of wealth management. Alternative investments now represent approximately $25 trillion in assets under management, yet the wealth management channel accounts for only 16% of that total. Client allocations to alternatives currently range from 1% to
The financial world is in turmoil. As stocks plummet and uncertainty reigns, one question becomes more urgent than ever: where should you place your wealth to protect it from the storm?

What you’ll discover:
Gold prices have surged over 40% since late 2023, now approaching $3,200 per ounce. This increase stems not from jewelry or industrial demand but from gold’s role as a financial safe haven during uncertain times. Though gold pays no interest like bonds or dividends like stocks, it serves as protection against inflation and economic instability. Gold-backed ETFs have made it easier for investors to add gold to their portfolios. The metal demonstrated its value during COVID-19 when prices jumped 22% in six months despite low inflation. Central banks have also increased gold purchases following sanctions on Russia, as many seek

Written by: The MacroButler In antique history, the Judaean silver trade played a pivotal role in the ancient economy, especially during the late Second Temple period, when the region fell successively under Persian, Hellenistic, and later Roman rule. Silver served as the primary medium of exchange, with Tyrian shekels emerging as the preferred coinage for temple transactions, including the annual temple tax paid by Jewish pilgrims. Judaea’s access to silver relied on trade networks linking it to Mediterranean markets, facilitated largely by Phoenician merchants and Nabataean traders, who sustained commerce along vital trade routes.

Most investors don’t realize that gold investments face a unique tax challenge. While stocks and bonds may enjoy favorable tax treatment under certain circumstances, physical gold and silver fall into a special “collectibles” category with the IRS – one that can significantly reduce your returns. The Tax Challenge with Gold Investments When you sell physical gold or silver, long-term gains are taxed at up to 28%, much higher than the 20% maximum rate for stocks held for more than one year. Short-term gains face even steeper rates, taxed as ordinary income. This tax treatment isn’t limited to physical metals –

Are tariffs, trade wars, and global volatility pushing precious metals
Russians are increasingly turning to gold as a financial safe haven amid growing economic pressures. Consumer gold purchases hit 75.6 metric tons in 2024, marking a 6% increase from 2023 and a dramatic 62% jump from pre-war levels in 2021. Why? A few reasons: record-high inflation at 9.5%, the ruble’s historic lows, and international sanctions limiting investment options. The trend benefits both consumers and the Russian government, which needs outlets for its annual 300-metric-ton mining output, especially since the central bank has reduced its historically large gold purchases. The strategy has paid off for Russian buyers, with gold prices surging

Gold’s current chart pattern suggests a significant repricing event driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly between the US and China.

Gold’s current price action presents a familiar pattern that typically emerges during major market repricing events, but with a unique geopolitical twist. The chart suggests that gold’s upward trajectory is primarily driven by US-China relations, making it more than

As both gold and bitcoin reach record highs in 2024, with bitcoin surpassing $100,000 and gold reaching nearly $2,800 per ounce. Today a growing number of investment experts suggest including both assets in portfolios for enhanced diversification. Gold, with its 5,000-year history, offers proven stability and acts as a hedge against dollar depreciation and geopolitical risks.

Gold’s impressive 27% rally in 2024 came with a surprising twist: gold ETFs were seeing outflows, bucking a historical trend. Typically, every major gold bull market of the past two decades has been accompanied by substantial ETF inflows — averaging about 30 tons per month during the rallies of 2005-2007, 2009-2012, and 2019-2020. State Street Global Advisors sees this market anomaly as a potential springboard. They predict that if ETF outflows since late 2020 reverse course to even moderate inflows in 2025, the resulting demand shock could push gold to new heights. “An ETF re-stocking cycle could be very bullish

The spot price of gold is based on the price of one troy ounce of gold on international exchanges. Gold spot prices refer to the “bid” price you see listed—which is the price most recently quoted in the market that buyers are willing to purchase at.

It is an international standard for the spot price of gold to be quoted in US dollars. In the US, the COMEX is the primary exchange where gold is traded

Very few people know exactly what was said, promised, discovered, obfuscated, threatened, etc. in the dark and high-tension days surrounding the collapse of Bear Stearns and its taxpayer-subsidized subsequent digestion by JPMorgan. What is irrefutable is that JPMorgan inherited Bear’s enormous and disastrous short silver position. How they would deal with it in response has fundamentally altered the silver market, while simultaneously setting it up for a historic rally. Bear Stearns’ failure coincided, to the day, with gold hitting all-time highs (over $1000) and silver hitting 30 year highs ($21). It’s easy to calculate that Bear lost more than $2

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.
