Alan Hibbard first became curious about the world of investing in 2007. He studied business at a university during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and graduated with an MBA in Finance in 2011. But he felt like the curriculum didn’t address his questions about money, value, and their effects on real people, so he turned to alternative media for answers. That’s where he found Mike Maloney’s YouTube channel and, eventually, the eye-opening series Hidden Secrets of Money. He’s been a freedom-loving scholar of the Austrian school ever since. Alan reached out to Mike in 2019 with an offer to help with research, analysis, and chart-making. They worked closely together for over four years to release Mike’s second book, The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century. Now, Alan continues to help us spread our message of free markets, individual liberties, and sound money to the next generation of investors.

Gold at $5,000–$10,000? The U.S. Debt Spiral Is Coming

The latest Gold Silver Show with Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard tackles one of the most staggering realities of our time: America’s runaway national debt. At more than $37 trillion — and climbing by the second — the numbers are almost too big to comprehend. But as Mike and Alan show, the consequences are impossible to ignore.  A Debt That Reaches the Moon  Put simply, today’s debt is astronomical.

Silver Could Outperform Gold 4-to-1 — Here’s Why

In his latest Gold Silver Show episode, Mike Maloney warns: “We are really in the endgame of a monetary reset.” Here’s why he’s betting on silver — and what it means for investors.  The $35 Trillion Problem  The U.S. carries $35 trillion in debt with $2 trillion annual deficits. As Mike Maloney explains, this isn’t just unsustainable — it’s a mathematical trap.  “The Fed is trapped.

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.
