Gold is down 14% in 30 days — but the fundamentals haven't changed. We break down what's behind the sharpest pullback of the year, why silver is bucking the trend, and what Iran's rejection of U.S. talks means for precious metals going forward.

Gold and silver mining stocks can amplify gains when precious metals rise. But they carry risks bullion doesn't — from rising production costs to geopolitical exposure. This guide breaks down what mining stocks actually are, where they can work in a portfolio, and what the fine print usually leaves out.

Tesla And SpaceX To Build Massive "Terafab" Chip Factory In Austin Elon Musk announced that his proposed “Terafab” chip factory will be built in Austin and operated jointly by Tesla and SpaceX, according to Yahoo Finance and Bloomberg. The plan is to start with a smaller, highly advanced fabrication facility capable of producing and testing a wide range of chips, before expanding to a larger operation. Musk argues the semiconductor industry isn’t scaling fast enough to meet his companies’ growing demand for AI and robotics, so he sees building his own supply as […]

Brazilian Lawmaker Wears Blackface To Mock Transgenderism Authored by Ben Sellers via Headline USA, A Brazilian legislator last week mocked one of LGBT activists’ core arguments in favor of transgenderism with a simple demonstration during a state assembly session in São Paulo.

Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Bill To Ban Sports Betting Via Prediction Markets Lawmakers have never met a market they didn't want to control. And when they can't do that, they try to crush them - sometimes after taking six-figure donations from competing lobbies. To wit; Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and John Curtis (R-UT), on Monday introduced legislation that would prohibit federally regulated prediction-market platforms from offering wagers on sports events, targeting what they call a regulatory backdoor that has let online betting proliferate beyond state control. Reading […]

Putin Again Tells Energy Giants To Use Iran War Windfall To Pay Off Bank Loans: 'Wise Decision' In yet more unintended blowback from Washington's Iran war gambit, now in its fourth week, President Vladimir Putin said Monday that Russian oil and gas companies must use windfall profits from the Iran war to reduce debt. It's been no secret that higher crude prices, amid the ongoing massive disruption to global energy supplies due to the Hormuz Strait effective closure, have been a boon to Russia as it continues to fund its war machine in Ukraine. At a meeting with senior economic […]

Epstein Cover-Up Deepens; FBI Officers Raise Alarm Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Fresh Justice Department files reveal a frantic document destruction operation at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan just days after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death, adding fresh fuel to suspicions of elite protection and deep state obstruction. This latest bombshell, drawn from a Miami Herald analysis of thousands of pages in the Epstein files, fits the pattern of irregularities we’ve exposed in our prior reporting. Less than a week after Epstein was found dead […]

Gold isn't rallying despite a war in the Middle East. That seems strange. But if you understand how gold actually behaves in macro cycles, the quiet isn't a red flag — it's a setup.

Amid Shortage Fears, ASP Isotopes Completes Drilling For Helium Project Ahead Of Schedule Shortly after we posted a breakdown on the incoming helium supply disruption from Qatar for our premium subscribers, ASP Isotopes announced that they had completed the well drilling required for Phase 1 of the Renergen Helium Project approximately four months ahead of schedule.

Key Events This Week: PMIs, Productivity And Consumer Sentiment As has become customary for Monday, we have seen a dramatic surge in risk assets (3rd Monday in a row) on what at least superficially appears to be de-escalation after Trump announced strikes against Iran's power plant would be delayed by 5 days as a result of talks with Iran, talks which at least Iran's domestic news sources have so far denied. And the market lurches from headline to headline, it feels somewhat trivial to focus on the week ahead data calendar, but there will nevertheless be interest in the global […]

"The Numbers Are Shocking": California Faces Scrutiny Over Hospice Fraud Authored by Tom Gantert via The Epoch Times, Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, posted an Instagram video this week detailing ongoing fraud among hospice and health care facilities in Los Angeles County.

"Far-Right" AfD Party Makes Historic Gains In German State Elections Only a year ago, the AfD was the target of an orchestrated media smear campaign, not to mention leftist government attempts to ban the party from elections.  The same tactics have been used to stifle conservative and nationalist movements across Europe, but these movements are proving to be resilient.  The latest Le Pen success story in France's small town areas runs in tandem with the latest news from Germany.  In the recent Rhineland-Palatinate state election, the Christian Democrats have, according to […]

Gold dropped 4% today. Silver is down 17% in five days. But the selloff may be obscuring a bigger story. The Iran war, a hawkish Fed, and surging gas prices are creating a stagflation setup — and history suggests gold investors shouldn't panic just yet.

Nearing Psychological Gas Price Level Where Consumers Drive Less The latest AAA data show the national average price for regular gasoline at the pump is now just four cents below the politically sensitive $4-a-gallon mark. This month's surge in retail fuel prices (gasoline and diesel) marks the largest increase on record and is delivering a nasty shock to the pocketbooks of cash-strapped consumers. Bonnie Herzog, managing director and senior consumer analyst at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note that when fuel prices spike to these "psychological threshold" levels, above $3 and […]

Mamdani's Tax Fantasy Is Already Failing Somewhere Else Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance Last week I wrote that Zohran Mamdani is a f***ing moron has proposed a new estate tax that is not really aimed at billionaires but at ordinary New Yorkers whose so called wealth is largely tied up in the homes they spent decades paying off. That argument may have sounded abstract to some readers, like a warning about unintended consequences that might or might not materialize. But we do not have to speculate about how these kinds of burdensome taxation policies play out. Other than […]

Iran Phones Russia Immediately On Heels Of Trump's Announcement Of US-Iran Talks Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held talks with Sergei Lavrov quickly on the heels of President Trump early Monday having claimed Washington and Tehran had "very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities" - as the war is in its fourth week.

IEA Head Warns Iran War Sparked Energy Crisis Worse Than 1970s Oil Shocks, Ukraine Fallout The head of the International Energy Agency intensified his apocalyptic warning about the global energy crisis, stating early Monday that the US-Israel war with Iran has sparked a shock far greater than the twin oil crises of the 1970s and the turmoil from the war in Ukraine combined. US-Israeli Operation Epic Fury has entered its fourth week, and emerging from the fog of war is the understanding that 44 energy assets across the Gulf region have been severely or very severely damaged by […]

Gold's Biggest Fire-Sale In 43 Years: Perception Vs Opportunity Authored by Matthew Piepenburg via VonGreyerz.gold, If you are new to gold, or if you are a speculator in gold (or even worse, a levered speculator in gold), you are likely asking yourselves what in the “H. E. double tooth-picks” just happened to gold? It lost over 9% in the futures market in a single session and saw its worst week of price declines since February 1983. What gives? Gold loves chaos, and isn’t the current war, whatever you think of it, pure chaos? And what about gold-loving oil shocks, as […]

Musk Plans To Appeal After Jury Finds Him Liable To Twitter Shareholders Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), A federal jury on March 20 found tech billionaire Elon Musk liable for misleading Twitter shareholders by driving down the social media platform’s stock price months before acquiring it for $44 billion in 2022. The decision follows a civil class action lawsuit filed by Twitter investors in October 2022. Musk agreed to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share in April 2022 but later tried to back out of the deal, leading the company to take legal […]

Today one of the greats in the business noted this panic has triggered gold's biggest price collapse in 43 years! He discussed the capitulation and the opportunity for investors.

Worried about the action in gold, silver and the mining stocks? Look at this interview with the always brilliant Tavi Costa!

The gold and silver selloff intensified on Friday but who is selling?

Gold and silver prices are down sharply after major central banks signaled a higher-for-longer rate stance. With the dollar rising and yields climbing, metals are in a classic macro squeeze. Here's what's driving the move and what investors should monitor.

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.

Not all gold investments are created equal. Whether you're buying bullion or investing through an app, understanding what you actually own — and what risks come with it — is the first step to making the right choice for your portfolio.

A bank safety deposit box feels secure — but for physical gold, appearances can be deceiving. From uninsured contents to restricted access, here's why professional gold vault storage is built differently, and why the distinction matters more than most investors realize.

Gold is falling even as oil surges and inflation risks climb. The gold price drop after oil shock is catching investors off guard—but the real story reveals a deeper shift in markets that could shape what comes next.

This is bullish for gold. Take a look...

Gold dropped 3.5% Thursday even as war escalated in the Middle East. Tonight's digest breaks down the $200B Pentagon war bill, the DOJ's attack on Fed independence, and why retail investors are buying silver on the way down.

De-dollarization is no longer theoretical. As oil trade begins shifting away from the dollar, the global monetary system may be entering a new phase. In this environment, gold may not rise gradually—it could be repriced rapidly, catching most investors off guard.

On the heels of continued selling in gold, silver and especially heavy selling of mining stocks, one of the greats in the business just released an important update.

Gold has surged past $5,000 an ounce — but is it a bubble or a bull market? We break down what's driving prices, evaluate Robert Kiyosaki's dramatic $35,000 forecast, and explain what investors should actually do with their precious metals allocation right now.

Most investors rely on stocks for growth and bonds for stability — but the data tells a more complex story. Discover what gold actually does in a portfolio that traditional assets cannot, and why the case for including it has never been stronger.

Why is gold falling while a war rages in the Middle East? Today's digest breaks down the Iran energy shock driving oil to $115, Powell's Fed decision, a $39 trillion debt milestone, and the surprising split between retail and institutional gold buyers.

Today's situation is much worse than the 1970s, why isn't gold performing as expected?

Gold fell 3.75% to $4,820 as February PPI surged to 3.4% — double expectations. The Fed held rates at 3.50%–3.75% with no cuts in sight. Here's what the data says about the gold price outlook and whether this dip is a buying opportunity.

Every great empire follows the same arc: sound money, public works, military expansion, war, debasement, loss of faith, collapse. Mike Maloney's Seven Stages of Empire framework explains why currencies fail — and what history says comes next.

Everyone seems to believe this crisis is temporary, but look at who just warned this crisis is going to last more than a year.

Silver crashed 30% from its January 2026 all-time high. Alarming — unless you've studied silver price crash history. The 1970s and 2011 both saw violent pullbacks inside raging bull markets. Here's what happened to investors who held, and those who didn't.

Choosing between a Gold IRA and physical gold ownership? Understanding the key differences in tax treatment, storage requirements, costs, and liquidity is essential for making the right investment decision. A Gold IRA offers tax-deferred growth and professional storage within a retirement framework, while physical gold provides immediate control and access...

The Fed announces its rate decision today as oil approaches $100 and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The U.S. economy outlook looks solid on the surface — but fragile underneath. Here's what gold investors need to watch.

Michael Oliver, the man who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, sent King World News a note warning the public has it wrong once again when it comes to the gold sector.

Rising gas prices, shifting gold-silver ratios, and a Federal Reserve caught between inflation and slowdown are sending a clear signal: uncertainty is building again. As energy costs climb and policy clarity fades, investors are increasingly turning to gold as a strategic hedge. Meanwhile, central banks continue quietly accumulating the metal—reinforcing...

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.

People across the earth need to buckle up because a massive wave of inflation is on the way.

Gold runs first. Silver waits — sometimes for years. Then silver surges past gold and doesn't look back. Here's what 50 years of data reveals about one of the most consistent patterns in precious metals investing, and how it just played out again in real time.

Gold already hit a record $5,600 in 2026. Now two powerful forces — a slowing U.S. economy and escalating Middle East conflict — are building the case for even higher prices. Here's what the data says about gold's path to $6,000.

Gold is holding near $5,000 as the Fed meets, oil stays above $100, and Wall Street's 2026 price targets keep climbing. J.P. Morgan sees $6,300. Bank of America sees $6,000. And one century-old chart suggests gold is right where the math says it should be.
