Three monetary riddles, partially overlapping, require at least a tentative solution before work on any genuine forecast for 2026 and beyond should begin. The completion of the forecast depends further on the taking of a view about the pre-election US monetary stimulus...
Silver is now moving back and forth intraday by as much as it was trading just 15 years ago… But while we’re looking at the short-term price moves, let’s not forget about the big picture.
Fiat bugs have been desperately trying to call a top in gold and silver. They were just waylaid (again) by geopolitical events in Venezuela and…
Economic freedom should include freedom in money. It’s a freedom even, as we say these days, that advanced economies don’t have. My guiding text for this talk is Friedrich Hayek’s celebrated essay “Choice in Currency.” That is chapter 7 of this excellent book—Hayek for...

The best-performing precious metal(s) of the year were silver and platinum, up roughly 145% and 135%, respectively. Both metals led 2025’s gains, driven by their roles as monetary safe-haven assets amid expectations of U.S. rate cuts and rising geopolitical tensions....

Among the many rationalizations that the Trump administration is using to initiate massive force and violence against the Venezuelan people is that the Venezuelan government nationalized American oil interests many years ago. The notion is that since “they stole our...

5546 is our forecast Gold high for 2026. When we set upon such annual analysis for this year, we admittedly felt a bit snarky in perhaps selecting the year’s high as “the opening tick”, which yesterday (Friday) was 4340. After all, Gold is — at present — overvalued...
