How To Feel Joy In A Dopamine-Saturated World Authored by Sheridan Genrich via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Your brain treats what it sees in Instagram reels the same way it treats cocaine. Both experiences flood a thumbnail-sized region of the brain with dopamine—a chemical that makes you want more, right now. The problem is that after a certain amount of dopamine hits, your brain adapts by turning down the pleasure volume. As a result, things that once made you feel good are no longer enough.

Billions In Chinese Investment To Flee Panama - Beijing Livid Over Canal Ports Decision China is lashing out at Panama after the country's top court torpedoed a key Chinese-linked operations contract at the Panama Canal, warning that the Central American nation "will inevitably pay a heavy price" if it doesn’t reverse course. Under immense US pressure from the Trump White House, Panama’s Supreme Court last week ruled to void the operating license of Hong Kong–based CK Hutchison for ports on both ends of the canal - Balboa on the Pacific side and Cristóbal on the […]

Epstein Death Gets Weirder: DOJ Finally Admits To 'Orange-Colored Shape' Moving Up Staircase The death of Jeffrey Epstein has always been extremely suspect, if only for the sheer number of odd coincidences that occurred the night of August 9th, 2019. There are three theories: One, he actually killed himself. Two, the DOJ - headed up by Bill Barr whose pedocentric-author father hired Epstein to teach at Dalton in the 70s - had him murdered while in custody. Three, Epstein was smuggled out of jail and replaced by a mask-wearing homeless dude, with skeptics pointing to different […]

Republicans Demand Inclusion Of SAVE Act In DHS Funding Bill - What To Know Authored by Joseph Lord & Nathan Worcester via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), After President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a government funding measure to end a partial government shutdown, funding clashes still lie ahead—this time, centered entirely around the contents of a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Uncharted Territory: US & Russia Now Have No Limits On Nuclear Weapons On Thursday the world woke up entering uncharted territory as the US-Russia New START Nuclear Treaty has expired without renewal. The pact's last active day was February 4. While there's yet hope that a comparable replacement could soon be forged between the globe's largest nuclear-armed powers and rivals, there are no current intensive talks happening on this front which have a 'legal' status related to international arms control. Russian state media on Thursday has issued confirmation the last […]

Beijing's Big Short: Meet The Chinese "Anti Hunt Brother" Billionaire Betting Against Silver Bulls Born in 1963 in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, right in the middle of some pretty chaotic times in China’s history, reclusive billionaire Bian Ximing grew up to become a commodity titan after making some huge bets in the metals markets over the past few years. In 2003, he bought Zhongcai Futures Co., which would become the centerpiece of his trading empire. Bian spends much of his time in Gibraltar, and previously made nearly $3 billion from bullish bets on Shanghai Futures […]

The crash in the silver market has created a reverse panic - going from panic buying to panic selling. This is the exact type of environment where mistakes are made.

Six-Month Low In Coffee Futs Signals Potential Relief After Beans On Amazon Surge Tracking a single brand of dark-roast arabica beans on Amazon via the price-tracking website CamelCamelCamel shows that a 2.2-pound bag has nearly doubled in price since August. For American consumers, paying roughly twice as much for the same bag of coffee beans in just six months is a price shock, even if it is still cheaper than visiting Starbucks daily. There may finally be some relief in sight. Arabica coffee futures have fallen to a six-month low, raising some hopes that bean prices may […]

Amazon Plunges After Forecasting 50% Surge In Capex To $200BN In our AMZN earnings preview, we said that the price reaction from META and GOOGL "leaves Amazon in a precarious place as it prepares to report earnings after the close today: does it project some berserk number or does it risk being conservative? After all, the only thing that will matter is the capex forecast (the earnings will likely be good enough)." Well, we were wrong: the earnings were not good enough: the company missed on earnings and its guidance was rather week. And so before we even get to the biggest […]

Xi Used Latest 2-Hour Call To Warn Trump On Taiwan Red Lines More details have emerged from Wednesday's Trump-Xi phone call, which it turns out was quite lengthy for the two leaders, lasting about two hours. We reviewed previously that President Trump hailed the "excellent" call, which was "long and thorough" - but Chinese version which was issued later presents something more contentious. China’s official readout made clear that President Xi in the conversation focused heavily on Taiwan, and ways Washington can dial back the tensions over the self-ruled island. Xi called the […]

Amazon Earnings Preview: All Eyes On CapEx At first, the market was happy to reward big capex forecasts (META); but just a few days later, it changed its mind and decided that the bigger the beat, the bigger the penalty (as was the case with GOOGL today). That leaves Amazon in a precarious place as it prepares to report earnings after the close today: does it project some berserk number or does it risk being conservative? After all, the only thing that will matter is the capex forecast (the earnings will likely be good enough).  Looking at the bigger picture, Bloomberg notes […]

You Don't Own Your Stocks the Way You Think You Do Authored by Jack McPherrin via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Most Americans believe that when they “buy” a stock, bond, or exchange-traded fund in a brokerage account, they become the legal owner of that security. The statement shows their name, and the shares appear as belonging to them. Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Jan. 2, 2026. Spencer Platt/Getty Images But in the modern U.S. securities system, that intuition is often wrong in the way that matters most: legal title and control. What […]

'Total Fake News BS': White House Says Trump Talking About National Guard Deployments In 'Softer Touch" Immigration Policy Update (1310ET): The White House is saying it's 'total fake news' to suggest that Trump is pulling back on mass deportations, despite answering a question about mass deportations.  "Total Fake News BS. President Trump is talking about National Guard deployments for crime reduction — like the highly successful operations in New Orleans, Memphis, D.C., etc., that were welcomed by their leaders," the Rapid Response 47 team said in a statement.  Total […]

Newsom Won't Cut Ties To Homeless Fraudster Firm Authored by Susan Crabtree via RealClearPolitics.com, Borrowing from novelist James Hilton, who coined the word “Shangri-La” to describe a Tibetan utopia in a 1933 novel, Franklin Roosevelt gave that name to the peaceful retreat we know as Camp David. For California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Democrats, Shangri-La hasn’t become synonymous with a place that connotes peace on earth. It stands for a hellish homeless housing nightmare, eye-popping fraud, and the ease and scale with which con-artists rip off taxpayers. […]

Nvidia Could Delay New GPU Due To Deepening Memory Crunch News flow around the memory crunch is accelerating by the week, and the casualty list is growing. Just this morning, Qualcomm and Arm Holdings warned that shortages of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) could crimp smartphone production this year. Apple signaled earlier this week that it will prioritize higher-end iPhone models, while Nintendo shares slid as soaring HBM costs threaten to squeeze margins. The alarm bells are getting louder after a new report from The Information, citing two sources, saying Nvidia won't release […]

New York Mayor Mamdani Pays Hospital Visit To Man Who Tried To Kill A Cop Authored by Tim O'Brien via PJMedia.com, While snow and ice continue to wreak havoc in New York, while the homeless continue to live in deadly cold conditions on the street without the city’s safety net of warm shelter when the weather gets below freezing, and as the mayor himself warns residents of a dire fiscal crisis ahead, Zohran Mamdani found time this week to visit a man in the hospital who tried to kill a police officer with a knife.  Police were forced to shoot Jabez Chakraborty on Jan.

Most investors compare gold and silver by watching price charts—but that's a mistake. The real differences don't show up on a screen; they show up after you own them. Gold concentrates massive value into a small, portable form. Silver spreads that same value across weight, volume, and bulk. Understanding gold...

US Pushes Price Floors At Global Minerals Summit To Cut China Dependence The US convened officials from 55 countries on Wednesday for a critical minerals summit focused on stabilizing supply chains and reducing reliance on China, according to Bloomberg. The Trump administration promoted price floors and expanded private investment to secure reliable access for American manufacturers. The European Union, Japan, and Mexico agreed to work with Washington on new policies, including possible price floors, and toward a binding multilateral trade agreement, according to the US Trade […]

$49 Wegovy Copycat Pill Sparks Selloff In Novo Shares Just when Goldman's long-time Novo Nordisk bull James Quigley likely thought the downside was exhausted, the stock plunged yet again on Thursday after tumbling earlier this week following a dismal sales outlook. Shares dropped below the six-month base in the stock around the 300 kroner level after telehealth firm Hims & Hers Health rolled out a cheaper copycat version of Wegovy, delivering another blow to the beleaguered Danish drugmaker. "Today, we're taking the next step in personalized care by introducing a […]

Maryland Gov. Moore Caught In Yet Another Background Lie? Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA, Not only did Maryland Gov. Wes Moore lie about a Bronze Star, his Baltimore origins, a fictional football Hall of Fame introduction and his academic credentials, but a new report also suggests he fabricated a story about his great-grandfather fleeing the KKK.  The report, published Wednesday by the Washington Free Beacon, centered on Moore’s repeated claim that his maternal great-grandfather, Rev. Josiah Johnson Thomas, fled South Carolina for Jamaica after narrowly […]

Despite recent volatility, it is central banks that are going to move the price of gold much higher.

DHS Secretary Noem Identifies Another Leaker, Refers To DOJ For Prosecution Authored by 'sundance' via The Last Refuge, The good news is the process to identify the subversive agents inside the various offices of the administration continues to yield results.  The bad news is there’s a lot of them to identify and remove.

Markets are shifting into risk-off mode. Silver and crypto slide as leverage unwinds, layoffs surge, and uncertainty grows. Gold’s relative stability highlights its role when investors prioritize resilience over speculation.

Look at what is at one of the most undervalued levels in history.

Here is a look at economic collapse and the implementation of the slave monetary system.

Daily News Nuggets | Today’s top stories for gold and silver investors  February 4th, 2026 | Brandon Sauerwein, Editor  Gold Over $5,000, Silver Surges After Deep Sell-Off  Gold futures reclaimed the $5,000/oz mark Wednesday, rebounding after last week’s historic plunge. Prices rose about 3% to roughly $5,070/oz, while silver surged 8–10% toward the $90/oz level. The bounce followed one of the sharpest precious-metals sell-offs in...

Friday's historic takedown in the gold and silver markets caused some dealers to close the door on precious metals purchases.

Silver’s wild price swings aren’t a sign the market is broken. They’re a hallmark of how silver reprices during major shifts. Understanding silver price volatility can help investors avoid panic and stay positioned for what comes next.

This is the biggest breakout in history!

Gold climbed 6.2% and silver surged 10% Tuesday as precious metals rebounded from their worst selloff in decades. Mining stocks rallied alongside the comeback. Meanwhile, Trump unveiled a $12 billion mineral reserve to counter China and slashed India tariffs to 18%—though key details remain missing.

If you’ve ever wondered why physical silver trades above the spot price, the answer lies in how silver is priced. This article breaks down silver price components—spot, premiums, and dealer markup—and explains why bid/ask spreads widen during periods of high prices, tight credit, and refining bottlenecks.

Below is a major gold and silver update after Friday's crash in the silver market.

Gold fell nearly $1,000 from record highs while silver crashed 31% in the worst precious metals rout in decades. Chinese speculators fueled the rally — then sparked the collapse. Yet JP Morgan raised its target to $6,300 and Singapore buyers lined up for more.

Making sense of Friday's utterly rigged nonsense in the silver market.

What to do after Friday's brutal $37 plunge in the silver market.

On the heels of a historic plunge in gold and silver with banks covering massive short positions.  Here is a look at the aftermath of the carnage.

Silver price forecasts revisited reveal how quickly Wall Street projections fell behind reality. As silver surged past $100, fundamentals—not bank targets—told the real story.

Gold tumbled 7% Friday as Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell at the Fed. Despite the pullback, gold is up 15% in January—its best month since 1999. Wall Street now sees $8,000+ gold by decade's end, while Asian buyers pay record premiums.

Mike Maloney is stepping back from regular GoldSilver videos to focus on his health—but the mission continues. In a candid conversation with Alan Hibbard, Mike reflects on his work, the community he built, and what comes next for GoldSilver.

Gold rockets past $5,500 per ounce, hitting fresh records as investors pile into safe-haven assets. Global gold demand reached an all-time high in 2025, while Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative takes a hit. Copper surges on China speculation, and the Fed holds rates steady at 3.5-3.75%.

What can one ounce of gold actually buy? The answer reveals gold's true value better than any price chart. In 1971, one ounce bought dinner for three at London's Savoy Grill. Today, it buys dinner for fourteen. A quality suit cost one ounce in the 1920s—and still does today. Meanwhile,...

Gold surged past $5,300 for the first time as the Federal Reserve begins its policy meeting amid growing dollar concerns. Silver hit $116, squeezing solar manufacturers. The dollar dropped to four-year lows on Fed independence fears. Meanwhile, Australia's inflation is heading the opposite direction.

Gold is surging above $5,000 as demand from central banks and investors overwhelms limited supply—raising big questions about where prices could head by 2026.

Gold blasted past $5,100 per ounce, hitting an all-time high as debt crisis fears grip global markets. Silver surged to $117.69. Former Fed officials warn inflation is accelerating. The dollar is weakening. And Deutsche Bank just raised its gold target to $6,000. Here's what's happening.

Gold shattered the $5,000 barrier for the first time on Jan. 26 while silver topped $100, marking historic milestones as investors flee risk assets. Japan's bond market meltdown, Fed uncertainty, and supply disruptions are driving unprecedented demand for safe-haven assets.

Silver just crossed $100 — and contrary to Wall Street’s blowoff fears, this silver bull market is accelerating. Here’s what history and trust cycles reveal.

Gold is approaching $5,000 per ounce. Silver is pushing toward $100. Bitcoin remains stuck around $89,000 — down 26% from its highs. When real uncertainty hits, investors are choosing what's worked for millennia. Plus: the copper shortage threatening global growth.

A Danish pension fund just dumped its entire U.S. Treasury position over fiscal concerns. The $100M sale seems tiny—but if other foreign institutions follow suit, the impact on gold could be massive. Here's what investors need to know.

Gold retreated from record highs after Trump softened his Greenland stance, but Goldman Sachs just raised its year-end target to $5,400. With GDP strong but labor markets frozen, inflation still elevated, and central banks buying, Wall Street sees higher prices ahead for precious metals.

Gold and silver didn’t just perform well in 2025 — they dominated every major asset class. With silver up 146% and gold rising 64%, metals sent a clear signal about where investors placed their trust during a year defined by uncertainty.

Gold blew past $4,800 per ounce Wednesday, hitting another record high amid a diplomatic crisis over Greenland. Investors are dumping U.S. assets and buying precious metals as geopolitical tensions escalate. Analysts now see gold pushing toward $5,000 this year.

As the DOJ investigates Fed Chair Jerome Powell, markets are reading between the lines. This isn’t about a building—it’s about interest rates, debt pressure, and why gold and silver are already responding.

Gold jumped 3.11% to clear $4,700 per ounce while silver rocketed 5.8% higher past $95. The rally reflects mounting concerns about tariffs, dollar debasement, and geopolitical turmoil. Trump's Greenland threats, crashing bond markets, and Fed independence attacks are driving safe-haven demand.

Silver has been officially labeled a national security issue by the U.S. government, a shift that could reshape supply chains, trigger price floors, and send silver prices sharply higher.
