Is the Paper Gold House of Cards Collapsing? 

Brandon Sauerwein, Editor

Is the Paper Gold House of Cards Collapsing? 

Someone in the U.S. just took possession of approximately 30 million ounces of physical gold — a sum equal to over 11% of the U.S. government’s reported reserves. 

This isn’t just another market headline — it could be the critical canary in the gold mine.

For years, Mike Maloney has warned about the dangerous disconnect between paper gold promises and physical reality, with derivatives contracts vastly outnumbering actual available bullion.

As the dangerous disconnect between paper promises and physical reality grows, are you prepared for what happens when the paper gold market finally confronts the truth? 

Gold Cartel In Turmoil As Derivatives Unravel

Banks are frantically scrambling to cover their massive gold short positions — and in this explosive episode, Mike and Alan reveal why this could trigger a financial crisis even bigger than 2008.

With trillions in paper gold derivatives backed by insufficient physical metal, we’re witnessing the moment when multiple parties discover they’ve been promised the same ounce. In today’s video you’ll see: 

  • How derivative markets have artificially suppressed gold’s true price
  • Why banks with massive short positions now face potentially unlimited losses
  • The striking parallels between today’s gold derivatives and 2008’s mortgage-backed securities collapse

🔥 GOLD’S HISTORIC STREAK APPROACHES $3,000 MILESTONE
Gold has logged eight straight weeks of gains — the longest winning streak since 2020 — as prices reached an all-time high of $2,956 before experiencing some profit-taking. Market analysts believe the psychological $3,000 barrier will soon be tested as economic uncertainty and a weaker dollar continue to boost safe-haven demand.

🔍 FED’S INFLATION GAUGE IN FOCUS THIS WEEK
All eyes are on Friday’s release of the Fed’s preferred inflation measure, with January’s core PCE expected to ease slightly to 2.6% annually. Despite the projected modest improvement, inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed’s 2% target, keeping potential rate cuts off the table for the first half of 2025.

⚠️ MUSK’S FEDERAL WORKER SURVEY SPARKS CHAOS
Federal workers received conflicting guidance about responding to a government-wide email asking them to document their weekly accomplishments by Monday night. While President Trump publicly backed the effort led by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), at least seven major agencies told their employees to disregard the request entirely.

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.
