The Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2023, unanimously, moving the target range to 3.75%-4.00%. But 16 of 18 officials who submitted dot-plot projections still want more tightening this year — and gold and silver gave back their morning gains within the half hour....

$603 Million Left the World’s Biggest Gold ETF. It Didn’t Leave Gold.

Why Is Silver Demand Tied to AI Data Centers?

Most coverage of silver's 2026 rally blames the Fed and the dollar. A quieter demand story has been building for less than two years: AI data centers now need silver for their power systems, layering onto an already six-year supply deficit....

The Copper Mine That Isn’t Trying to Mine Silver Just Explained the Whole Deficit

Inherited Gold IRA: Beneficiary Rules & the Step-Up Basis Gap

Physical gold you own outright gets a full step-up in basis at death. Gold inside a Gold IRA never does — it's taxed to your heir as ordinary income instead, on a ten-year clock the IRS only fully clarified in 2024. Here's what a beneficiary needs to know before a missed deadline costs 25% of the account....

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.
