Humanoid Robots Get "Brains" As Dual-Use Fears Mount Chinese humanoid robotics firms are laser-focused on advancing "robot brains" for next-gen platforms already entering series production and headed to factory floors this year. Once these intelligent models push beyond scripted video stunts - we've all seen in promotional videos - into real-world autonomy, the systems become battlefield-ready, dual-use robots. The Shanghai Morning Post reports that China-based robotics firm Dobot has developed Dobot-VLA, a vision-language-action model that allows its full-size humanoid Atom […]

Will Falling Birth Rates Mean A More Conservative World? Authored by Michael Barone via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), George Orwell was on to it almost 80 years ago—the problem of below-replacement level birth rates. In a short book written for the Britain in Pictures series in 1947, written just as Britain was emerging from wartime rigors into an uncharted postwar future, Orwell noted that despite an upward blip in birth rates during the war, “the general curve is downward. The position is not quite so dangerous as it is sometimes said to be, but can only be put right if […]

Trump Imposes Secondary Tariffs, Reaching 25%, On Countries Still Importing From Iran US and Iranian delegations conducted eight-hours of indirect negotiations mediated by the Omani government in Muscat on Friday, but it was merely minutes after the close of the talks that the US Department of State announced yet more sanctions on Iran.

AI 'Kill Chains' And Rise Of Skynet-Like Weapons Offer Glimpse Of 2030s Battlefield Ukraine has become the proving ground for 2030s warfare, where Western weaponry, Russian weaponry, and anyone else's "next gen" weaponry collide on a modern battlefield that's already providing a sneak peek of what conflict will look like: weaponized AI, ground robots, FPV swarms, and automated kill chains, with humanoid robo-killers that could enter field testing as early as this year. The focus of this note is how "kill chains" are becoming central to modern warfare, with humans increasingly […]

Why This Crash Is Bitcoin's Biggest Test Yet Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance Bitcoin has a way of faking its own death, and this past week delivered another such instance with theatrical flair. After flirting with the once-unthinkable level of $120,000, the world’s most famous digital asset promptly face-planted to around $62,000 at its recent lows on Thursday. Even for crypto, a 50% drawdown in months isn’t just a bad couple weeks. In a nascent asset like Bitcoin it’s always a bit of a spiritual test. More than that, this drawdown looks and feels like yet another […]

Young America's Affordability Crisis Has Political Consequences Authored by Micky Horstman via RealClearPolitics, One and a half million more young adults live with their parents today than a decade ago. They’re losers … economically.  Since the pandemic, fair market rents have increased as much as 40% in Chicago, the cost of owning a car is up more than 40%, and car insurance and health care prices have spiked. Student loan debt has quadrupled since 2000, and entry-level wages haven’t kept pace with inflation. For young people without financial or family support, […]

Newsom's 'Train To Nowhere': Californians Burn Billions For Political Boondoggle Authored by Jonathan Turley, In the dystopian novel 1984,  George Orwell wrote, “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” The true meaning of that line was never more clear than watching the truly bizarre photo op of California governor Gavin Newsom heralding the success of the greatest boondoggle in history: his high-speed train to nowhere. Without laying a single yard of track after burning $12 billion, Newsom showed a […]

All Is Well... Or Is It?

Liquidity isn't just about whether you can sell—it's about how fast, how cleanly, and at what cost. Gold and silver both trade globally, but they don't behave the same way when markets are stressed or timing matters. Gold maintains tight spreads and deep buyer networks even under pressure, while silver's...

On the heels of the crash in the silver market it appears that Open Interest in gold and silver have both hit historic lows!

Here is where the silver market stands after the crash.

Silver’s violent swings and rising margin requirements are rippling through precious metals markets. Asian gold demand is cooling short term, but analysts remain bullish on gold’s long-term outlook amid rising global risks.

Silver’s violent price swings aren’t anomalies or conspiracies — they’re structural. This breakdown explains why silver is so volatile, from thin investable markets and rigid supply to leverage, futures trading, and feedback loops that amplify every move.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.
