Trump looks like a hero now, but he could become a goat when the bull market ends. He campaigned as the man who would make America great again, and no one should doubt the sincerity of this quest or his commitment to returning the nation to its core values.

Interesting week in the precious metals patch. Gold and silver were down on the week, yet GDX was higher by almost 1%, GDXJ up by 2% on the week, SIJ, the silver juniors, also were higher on the week. So good week for the stocks. Even as gold and silver were ...

In this week’s Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey draws a sharp parallel between preparing for hurricanes and preparing for financial storms. 

Since hitting a record high of $3,500 an ounce in April, gold has consolidated and generally traded sideways over the last several months. Some have speculated that the rally might be over, but economist Thorsten Polleit believes the rally is far from over.

President Trump has, it is clear, upended the global trading system and America’s place in it through his aggressive use of tariffs as a tool of personal power. These actions would have shocked the Founding Fathers as offensive to the spirit of their new...

Wow! I know I said I was going to hold off on covering the full scope of inflation news until my weekend Deeper Dive, but, WHEW! what a burner! As it turns out, I can’t pass by today’s biggest economic news without commenting. I just can’t make myself do it. This...

I wanted to post a quick follow-up to the recent tariff saga that has whipsawed the gold market in recent days—and, by extension, silver, due to their close correlation. I first covered this on Saturday, and yesterday brought the latest development.

Tariffs are in the air, with different industries and countries in President Trump’s crosshairs. On Thursday, August 7th he declared that imports from Switzerland would be subject to a 39% tariff.

What an incredible week it was for the precious metal sector. The stocks really took it away. They really shined. The silver stocks, SIL, SILJ, up 14% and 15% on the week. GDX GDXJ just up over 10% on the week.
