A Stablecoin Issuer Bought More Gold Last Year Than Any Central Bank

A Stablecoin Issuer Bought More Gold Last Year Than Any Central Bank

The Fed's flagship conference is about payment rails this year, not the level of rates. ECB data explains why that is a gold story, and why the most striking buyer of 2025 was not a central bank at all....

One Freeze Taught Every Government a Lesson. China Is Still Acting on It.

Rick Rule argues Beijing didn't run a spreadsheet and conclude gold would outperform. It watched what happened to someone else's reserves. The freeze of roughly $300 billion in Russian assets repriced a risk every reserve manager had treated as zero, and China has cut its Treasury holdings 52% since 2013....
Ten Percent Sent Gold Abroad. Nine Percent Brought It Home.

Ten Percent Sent Gold Abroad. Nine Percent Brought It Home.

The financial press says central banks are bringing their gold home. The World Gold Council asked 76 of them, and the numbers run the other way: more spread gold into additional foreign jurisdictions last year than repatriated it. What that says about custody, and about how you hold your own metal....

What Is the Permanent Portfolio? Harry Browne’s 25% Gold Allocation Explained

Most advisors cap gold at 5–15% of a portfolio. Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio puts it at a full 25%. This piece unpacks why he drew the line there, how the strategy held up in 2008, the 1970s, and 2022, and what the honest case against it looks like....

Two Investors Ran the Debt Math Separately. Both Landed on 15% Gold.

Ray Dalio's August 21 post cited an $11 trillion debt-service figure behind his call to hold 10-15% of a portfolio in gold. Days later, gold-app CEO David McAlvany independently reached a strikingly similar conclusion — and neither man sizes bitcoin anywhere close to gold....
Federal Reserve building at golden hour, symbolizing the gold silver Jackson Hole yields story as markets await the Fed's policy signal

Gold Nears $4,700, Silver Holds Above $69. Why Is Everyone Waiting on One Friday Speech?

Gold pushed past $4,600 and silver held near $69 as Treasury yields and the dollar fell into Friday's Warsh Jackson Hole speech. Here's the mechanism connecting five threads — and what a hawkish, dovish, or neutral surprise could mean for both metals....

Gold Hits 3-Month High as Oil Falls Ahead of Bessent’s Iran Sanctions Announcement

Gold hit a fresh three-month high and silver turned positive today, both ahead of Treasury Secretary Bessent's 2 PM ET press conference unveiling new Iran sanctions. But oil is falling into the announcement, the opposite of what a "tougher sanctions" headline usually does to markets.

Australian Gold Kangaroo: The Bullion Coin Backed by an Act of Parliament

Perth Mint's flagship bullion coin changes its reverse almost every year, which is the least interesting thing about it. At 99.99% purity with an uncapped mintage, the Australian Gold Kangaroo coin sits behind a guarantee written into Western Australian statute in 1987. Here is what that actually means for what you own....

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

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

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

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