The Silver Investment Opportunity Gold Investors Are Missing

Silver rallied sharply toward 14-year highs after Fed Chair Powell’s dovish Jackson Hole speech triggered a dollar collapse and sent rate cut expectations soaring. Markets now price a 91% chance of a September rate cut, up from 72%, while the Dollar Index plunged 0.90% to 97.73, breaking below key moving averages. Treasury yields tumbled across the board, boosting non-yielding assets like silver. The metal has established critical support at $37.40-$37.50 and faces its next major test at the multi-year peak of $39.53. With Fed policy expectations tilted toward easing and the dollar under sustained pressure, silver maintains strong bullish momentum...

In an era of soaring grocery prices, several iconic brands are defying inflation by maintaining decades-old prices on signature items. Costco’s famous hot dog and soda combo remains at $1.50 – unchanged since 1985, while AriZona iced tea has held its 99-cent price tag since the company’s founding in 1992. Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl returns at $13.99, the same price for the fourth consecutive year, despite restaurant menu prices jumping over 30% since 2020. These inflation-proof items represent strategic brand decisions where companies sacrifice profit margins to build customer loyalty and reinforce their value proposition. Food prices increased...

Gold Shines as Market Storm Clouds Gather

A stark economic warning from Moody’s Analytics reveals that two-thirds of U.S. states are either in recession, at high risk, or treading water – representing about 66% of America’s GDP. Chief economist Mark Zandi identifies 22 states already in trouble, including major economies like Massachusetts and Washington, while only 16 states continue expanding. The recession probability stands at 49% for the next year, with the economy most vulnerable in late 2025. Red flags are mounting: over half of U.S. industries are cutting jobs, and recent employment revisions show June’s job growth was actually just 14,000, not the initially reported 147,000....

Timeless Wealth: How Gold and Silver Have Anchored Economic Stability for Centuries

“This Federal Reserve article examines the rare international cases where countries have used valuation gains from gold and foreign exchange reserves to generate funds. Over the past 30 years, only five countries have done this: Germany, Italy, Lebanon, Curacao and Saint Martin, and South Africa. The article reveals two main uses: central banks have used these proceeds to offset operating losses (Italy, Curacao and Saint Martin), while governments have used them to retire existing debt during fiscal challenges (South Africa, Lebanon, Germany). The potential for the U.S. is significant – revaluing America’s 261.5 million troy ounces of gold from the...

5 Market Moves for August 25 — Gold Pullback, Jackson Hole, Intel’s Warning and more

Gold Retreats from Two-Week High as Dollar Gains Gold pulled back after Friday’s pop, as a stronger dollar made bullion pricier for overseas buyers. Spot gold dipped 0.2% to $3,364/oz while December futures eased to $3,410. The retreat came after gold touched its highest level since August 11 on Friday, following Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech.  Traders still see an 85–90% chance of a 25bp Fed cut on September 17, supportive for gold in the long run. In the near term, however, gold is tracking the dollar. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo noted Powell’s comments point to only a modest...

Silver and platinum are dramatically outperforming gold in 2025, with CME futures data showing June gains of 9.5% and 28.2% respectively, compared to gold’s modest 1.1%. Year-to-date, silver is up 27% and platinum 30%, driven by booming industrial demand and supply deficits. Silver benefits from surging electronics, solar panel, and data center demand, while platinum gains from stricter auto emissions standards and Chinese jewelry buyers switching from expensive gold. Both metals trade at significant discounts to gold, with the gold-to-silver ratio hitting an 11-year high, signaling potential upside for investors seeking portfolio diversification beyond traditional gold holdings.

Elon Musk Loves Silver: How Demand Could Skyrocket in Green Tech

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...

America’s national debt is on track to explode from $37 trillion today to $53 trillion by 2035—120% of GDP—according to a new report from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This projection exceeds previous estimates by $1 trillion. The numbers are staggering: yearly deficits will grow from $1.7 trillion to $2.6 trillion, totaling $22.7 trillion over the next decade. Most alarming is the debt service burden—annual interest payments will nearly double from $1 trillion to $1.8 trillion by 2035. The fiscal deterioration stems largely from July’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which permanently extended the 2017 tax cuts at...

Gold Mining's Hidden Crisis: Production Costs Climb Despite Record Prices

Outcrop Silver & Gold has discovered exceptionally high-grade silver and gold at its Morena vein in Colombia’s Santa Ana project. The standout intercept yielded 1,877 grams of silver per ton and 4.26 grams of gold per ton over 0.55 meters (1.8 feet), equaling 2,197 grams silver equivalent per ton. This marks the sixth new high-grade discovery since April 2024. The Morena vein has been traced for 400 meters along strike and 300 meters down dip, with drilling totaling 2,905 meters. The discovery adds to Santa Ana’s existing resource of 24.2 million ounces silver equivalent and positions the project for a...

Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled a potential September rate cut at Jackson Hole, stating the economic outlook “may warrant” adjusting policy stance. While acknowledging inflation risks remain “tilted to the upside” due to visible tariff pressures, Powell emphasized concerns about the labor market’s unusual balance and rising employment risks. Markets reacted enthusiastically, with stocks soaring and CME data showing September rate cut odds jumping above 90%. The Fed currently holds rates at 4.25%-4.50%, but recent weak jobs data—averaging just 35,000 monthly gains over three months—has intensified debate among Fed officials about the need for policy easing.

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.

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.
