"I Will Not Sit Idly As They Use Me As A Prop": Is Bill Clinton Moving Back Into Contempt? Authored by Jonathan Turley, The Clintons are again suggesting that they might not agree to a deposition after previously yielding to the threat of a contempt vote. Hillary Clinton taunted House Oversight Chair James Comer “if you want this fight…let’s have it—in public.” For his part, Bill Clinton seemed more conclusive on X in opposing a deposition:  “I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court.” The question is whether the […]

Bad Bunny Halftime Show Versus Turning Point USA Alternative Highlights A Divided Nation Last night was the biggest television event of the year: the Super Bowl. Yet the NFL decided that Puerto Rican native "Bad Bunny" was the best fit for the halftime show, performing his entire set in Spanish and leaving tens of millions of English-speaking Americans in the dark. Some even tuned into an alternative halftime show produced by Turning Point USA. The big question is why the NFL forced Americans to watch the entire Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish when English is the […]

Spain's Prime Minister Tries To Cover Up Corruption With Censorship Authored by Daniel Lacalle, The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has appeared at a summit along with autocratic and undemocratic leaders from Georgia and Burundi to talk about protecting citizens and democracy. Fascinating. It is very revealing. The president talks about protecting minors from the harms of social networks and launches tirades against alleged techno-oligarchs. However, the evidence shows that beneath the supposedly “noble” goal of protecting minors, there is an agenda that includes […]

Germany Rejects Billion-Euro Data Center: Bureaucracy Wins Submitted by Thomas Kolbe In Groß-Gerau, Hesse, a billion-euro project has been blocked by citizen opposition and the local council’s majority. The town now seems the epitome of Germany’s decline: backward-looking, stubborn, and hopelessly lost in an era that leaves no room for passive solipsism. With roughly 27,000 residents, Groß-Gerau benefits from direct connections to Frankfurt and Darmstadt, making it an ideal commuter town. Here lives Germany’s traditional middle class: partly insulated from the […]

Epstein's Gates To Pandemonium Authored by Jordi Pigem via the Brownstone Institute, “We are going to have fun,” writes Jeffrey Epstein on December 7, 2009. This phrase is his reply to an email by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Science Advisor (and Scientific Advisor to Bill Gates), Boris Nikolic, who is making a list of “raising stars,” many of them scientists, that they “should visit together.” By then, everyone must have known that Epstein was a notorious, convicted sex offender. He had been released from jail only a few months before, on July 22. […]

What's The Likelihood Of A Global Nuclear Arms Race? Authored by Andrew Korybko, Russia and China are expected to reciprocally respond to the US’ potential development of new nukes and/or new nuke tests after it just let the New START lapse, which could be exploited by European and East Asian countries to develop their own nukes, thus emboldening some Muslim ones to follow suit.

The Idiocracy That Is California Politics Authored by William Andersen via The Mises Institute, After having lived in California the past four years, I can attest to the near-insanity of progressive politics in this state, yet California’s very progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, is considered a front-runner for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in 2028. Given how the Trump administration has helped to tank the economy through its tariffs, inflation, and outright regime uncertainty, there is a real possibility that Newsom can make California governance a […]

Today legendary investor Rob Arnott, who oversees $160 billion, spoke about how the silver/oil ratio reached insane levels.

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.

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.
