Gold’s Worst Week in 46 Years: Should You Be Worried?

Gold just recorded its worst week in 46 years, dropping over 10% in a single week and 17% in three. But history shows these rare selloffs don’t end bull markets—they often precede the next leg higher. Here’s what’s really driving the decline and what investors should do next.

Is There a Silver Shortage in 2026? The Data Is Alarming 

A year ago, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard warned that the U.S. silver stockpile was gone and an explosion was coming. Silver hit $121/oz. COMEX vaults are still draining. Here’s what the data shows about the 2026 silver shortage — and whether the move is finished.

When Should You Sell Gold and Silver? (And What to Buy Next) 

Most precious metals investors know how to buy — but few have a plan for when to sell. Here’s the ratio-based exit strategy that tells you when to start selling, how to do it in stages, and what to rotate into before you ever touch fiat currency.

Silver vs Gold Performance: What Happened After the Gold Silver Ratio Went Above 90

Are Silver Investors Watching the Wrong Numbers?

Many silver investors believe rising COMEX deliveries, falling registered inventory, and physical movement should directly drive price. But the data tells a different story.

Is $400 Silver Possible? What the 1979 Pattern Suggests

Is $400 silver possible? A rare pattern not seen since 1979 has reappeared — clusters of consecutive weekly all-time highs. Historically, this structure preceded silver’s most explosive moves, including its near 700% surge into 1980.

A massive $20,000 gold options trade on COMEX is drawing attention for its $3.3M cost and potential $5.5B payout. Is it insider trading ahead of a gold revaluation — or a hedge fund hedging extreme macro risk? Here’s what the structure, open interest data, and put activity actually reveal.

Gold Just Closed Above $5,000. What Happens Next?

Gold has officially posted a weekly all-time high above $5,000, signaling sustained momentum rather than short-term volatility. History shows that clusters of record weekly closes often occur during the strongest phases of a bull market.

Could this pattern point toward a powerful final phase into 2027?

Retail Investors Just Set a Record. History Says Be Careful.

Retail investors just poured a record $48 billion into U.S. stocks in 21 days — at all-time highs. History shows similar surges in optimism often occur near major market peaks, including 1999 and 2007. With household equity allocations at historic extremes, the bigger question isn’t just how high stocks can go — but how much risk is quietly building beneath the surface.
