Editor’s Note: Nothing in this video constitutes legal or tax advice, and you should not rely on its claims as such.“If the survival of the dollar is threatened, you cannot rule out the government trying to make gold and silver illegal again.”That’s how Mike Maloney begins his new video, a discussion with Jeff Berwick of Dollar Vigilante, on the possibility of gold confiscation.While Mike says confiscation “probably won’t happen, you’re screwed if all you own is coins and bars.”

“It’s a cycle” says Mike Maloney in this new video with Jeff Berwick of Dollar Vigilante. And the cycle says we’re headed into hard times. Check out the meme Mike got from his producer, Dan, and how it fits with where we stand today. Mike admits that it worries him where we’re headed. Mike states emphatically that it’s too late to avoid financial Armageddon, due to the massive dilution of the currency, no viable options for central bankers, and that the debt can never be repaid.

Ever been curious about how Mike Maloney got his start in the gold industry? As Mike says at the very beginning of his new video with Ronnie Stoeferle of Incrementum, “this is the chart that started my career in precious metals.” Listen to Mike tell the story of a chart he gave to Robert Kiyosaki at a conference, which Robert shared with his audience that day. It ultimately led to Mike writing a book on precious metals, founding GoldSilver.com, and becoming the industry leader he is today.

Unbeknownst to most mainstream investors, gold has been the best performing asset of this century. It’s really true, as the first table shows in video #5 from Mike and Ronnie. Other than a few cryptos, gold has been the top investment since 2000. That’s’ especially true for gold priced in other currencies. Check out all the green in the first table. Gold has risen more in other currencies than in the US dollar. While gold is universally priced in dollars, 95.7% of the world’s citizens transact in currencies other than the US dollar.

Why is Mike Maloney so heavily invested in gold at this time in history? And why does he believe prices are headed substantially higher? The answer starts with a chart… As Mike and Ronnie discuss in their fourth video, this chart shows the amount of US base currency vs. the market value of US gold reserves. As you can see, the value of gold has “caught up” to the amount of the base currency twice in the past 85 years. The first during the Great Depression and the second in 1980.

I was stupefied at what I was reading…A Bloomberg article earlier this month reported that JP Morgan and Citibank were significantly reducing their gold positions or closing them out entirely. Based on the article, it seems they made this decision based on the flimsiest of changes in the market:

Join GoldSilver's Senior Analyst Jeff Clark as he outlines his top candidates for the gold and silver stock for 2020, plus why many investors should just buy physical gold and silver.

“What is going on with the world economy?” That’s how Mike Maloney begins his new video, which is actually not about the economy, per se, but about currency abuse, interest rate cuts, and a big fat warning about the coming recession. Mike starts with a slide he’s shown before, US currency creation, but he revisits the topic so he can compare it to Switzerland. In response to the financial crisis, the US created about five times the original amount of its currency—but the Swiss created TWELVE times!

Jeff Clark was interviewed at the Silver & Gold Summit conference in San Francisco earlier this month. He was asked what pushes gold past the $1500 level, why it’s important to own physical gold and silver, and how much bullion to have. Tune in to this 8-minute video to see why “gold’s real drivers are not even here yet.

Silver Drops Below $17/oz — Time To Buy the Dip? Precious metals just enjoyed a heady 3 months in the limelight. Gold and silver were a “hot trade.” But now the market is cooling... Wall Street appears to be brushing aside metals and once again piling into stocks. Do you think they are right? Have the catalysts for metals disappeared?

Would China and Russia really use the “nuclear option” and dump Treasuries to punish the US? Such a move would cause a severe spike in US interest rates, crash our stock market, and easily push the economy into recession. But as Mike Maloney and Ronnie Stoeferle discuss in their third video, it's not out of the question...

Should you buy Gold in 2020? After watching today’s release of Part 2 of Mike Maloney’s new series with Incrementum’s Ronnie Stoeferle, you’ll see why Mike has been ‘backing up the truck’ and continues to accumulate precious metals. This segment covers a mountain of topics including real interest rates, recession indicators, declining industrial production, and even a part of Mike’s book that was cut from the final edit.

Great news for GoldSilver followers - Mike Maloney recently spoke with Ronni Stoeferle of the ‘In Gold We Trust’ report and had a very in-depth discussion about the global economy, gold, and investing in general. As you know, Mike Maloney loves charts, and Ronni’s team has just published a ‘Chart Book’ to accompany their extensive annual report. In this new series of videos, Mike picks out his favorite charts from this summary and dives into the data.

It’s quite possible that a new catalyst for silver is emerging. It didn’t make a lot of headlines, but India’s silver imports have seen a big jump. So big that we need to talk about it, because if this trend continues it could have a sizable impact on the tiny silver market. There’s a chart I want you to see, but first…

A textbook in my Master of Psychology program theorized that most things in life come down to core drives—food, shelter, sex, etc. Throw in Freud’s pain and pleasure principals and this is supposedly what drives everything we do. We had a good time poking fun of simplistic theories as to what motivates people. Human emotions and motivations are complex. Except when it comes to money.

Mike Maloney recently appeared as a guest on the 'Hidden Forces' podcast with Demetri Kofinas. Demetri is a good friend of Mike, and has actually appeared as our own guest in Episodes 2 and 8 of Hidden Secrets Of Money. During this one hour interview Mike recalls his early battles with dyslexia and how it became a gift in disguise. Along with his thoughts on the current state of the markets, Mike details his first steps as an entrepreneur... leading all the way up to the foundation of GoldSilver.com

Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst at GoldSilver.com, returns to Reluctant Preppers to expand on his recent article "These Gold Investors Got Your Back, Jack."

In this final part of the series, Mike and Chris discuss the ramifications of the growing political divide in the USA. What are the solutions? What can we do? Stay tuned until the end for Mike's trademark answer to these most important questions.

We don’t employ technical analysis that much, one reason being we’re buying gold and silver for what we believe will be a major shift in our markets, economy and currency. The strategy then, is just keep accumulating and preparing for that shift. But I know someone who is very good at technical analysis. So good, in fact, he’s a multi-millionaire primarily from trading via technical analysis.

In the second of this three video series, Mike Maloney and Chris Martenson reveal that there is one asset apart from gold and silver that they are both looking to accumulate. What could it be? At what valuation will they trade gold or silver for this most important and often overlooked asset?
