The financial world is witnessing an unprecedented shift. Professional traders are shorting the U.S. dollar at levels not seen in 20 years, while central banks buying gold at record rates signal a deeper loss of confidence in fiat currency. In a recent episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard dissect this dramatic transformation and expose why the Treasury’s proposed “stablecoin solution” may be nothing more than wishful thinking. Everyone’s Betting Against the Dollar—But Should They Be? According to the latest Bank of America fund manager survey, professional traders are shorting the dollar in near-record amounts. As Mike...
For decades, financial advisors have preached the same gospel: allocate 60% of your portfolio to stocks and 40% to bonds. It’s been the cornerstone of “responsible” investing, the safe harbor endorsed by nearly every major financial institution. Now, in a striking reversal, Goldman Sachs — one of Wall Street’s most influential voices — has released research that challenges this longstanding doctrine. Their findings? Adding gold to your portfolio doesn’t just improve returns slightly. It nearly doubles them. The Data that Debunks 60/40 In the latest episode of the GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard dissect Goldman’s groundbreaking research […]
...At Rebel Capitalist 2025, Mike Maloney and Russell Gray delivered a conversation that cuts to the heart of today’s economic shift. The Decentralization Mega-Trend Russell Gray sees three powerful signals of change: “We’re pushing back on monopolies,” Gray explains. The old gatekeepers are crumbling, and something new is emerging. Why Main Street Capitalism Matters Now Gray’s new platform, MainStreetCapitalist.com, focuses on a simple truth: we need to stop pushing paper and start building things. The math is clear. We can’t extinguish our debt through austerity. We need real growth—not 2-3% GDP, but 5-8%. How? By unleashing entrepreneurial energy on Main...
Gold’s impressive 27% rally in 2024 came with a surprising twist: gold ETFs were seeing outflows, bucking a historical trend. Typically, every major gold bull market of the past two decades has been accompanied by substantial ETF inflows — averaging about 30 tons per month during the rallies of 2005-2007, 2009-2012, and 2019-2020. State Street Global Advisors sees this market anomaly as a potential springboard. They predict that if ETF outflows since late 2020 reverse course to even moderate inflows in 2025, the resulting demand shock could push gold to new heights. “An ETF re-stocking cycle could be very bullish...
Gold and silver investors in New Jersey just got a major win: zero sales tax on precious metals. The bipartisan legislation, which took effect January 1st, eliminates all sales tax on gold, silver, and precious metals purchases, positioning New Jersey among the most competitive states for metals trading. As more states recognize the importance of precious metals investment, this could mark the beginning of a broader shift in state tax policies… 📈 Alan Hibbard: Gold and Bitcoin Set for ‘Explosive’ 2025 In a compelling NYSE TV interview this week, Alan Hibbard addressed Powell’s recent Bitcoin comments and highlighted a critical...
Gold’s price may be grabbing headlines, but there’s a bigger story unfolding in the mining industry. Despite gold reaching near-record highs earlier this year, miners are facing a serious challenge: production costs are soaring at an unprecedented rate. According to the World Gold Council, these rising costs are pushing some mining operations to the brink, even as gold prices remain strong… The True Cost of Gold Mining To get a better understanding of the rising cost of mining let’s look at the All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC). This crucial metric shows the true cost of running a gold mine – […]
...Gold prices rose Friday but remained on track for a weekly decline of 1-2%, pressured by the Federal Reserve’s more hawkish stance on interest rates. The Fed’s latest projections showed fewer rate cuts planned through 2025 than previously expected, with officials now forecasting just two quarter-point cuts instead of the four cuts suggested in September. While markets digest the Fed’s hawkish shift, another source of uncertainty emerges from Washington… US Government Faces Shutdown Over Funding Bill Another government shutdown looms as House lawmakers rejected a stopgap funding measure Thursday evening, voting 174-235 against the bill despite former President Trump’s endorsement....
For a larger image please view original site here: http://theaustrianinsider.com/infographic-keynesian-vs-austrian-economics/ There has been an unsettled debate among economists for a century now of whether government intervention is beneficial to an economy. The heart of this debate lies between Keynesian and Austrian economists (though there are other schools as well). In order to get a full understanding of the two schools of economic thought, please refer to the infographic above. Open the image in a new tab for a larger version. If anyone feels I did a misrepresentation of either school, let me know! UPDATE: I’d like to go over some...
Ever wondered how the monetary system of the United States got into the fiat predicament it now finds itself? Did you know that American history has more often used some sort of gold or silver backing than not? Inspired partly by GoldSilver.com reader Greg V, we created a scrollable infographic of the history of money in the U.S.. What you’ll see is that with each monetary change in the US, our currency has gradually been destroyed. We started with 100% gold-backed currency, but via the whims and machinations of politicians, we’ve ended up with 0% gold-backing. A currency that can...
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.
