Goldman: Local Resistance Against Data Centers "Are Not Slowing Development" Fierce winter weather across the eastern half of the U.S. put the power grid, data centers, and electricity prices back in focus, especially in the Mid-Atlantic, where Washington, D.C., logged its longest freezing streak since 1989. Our review of Facebook, X, media coverage, and local officials' comments suggests that the cold snap across the Mid-Atlantic has put data centers and power bills in the spotlight, especially given that PJM Interconnection is already operating in a very tight grid […]

Bessent Says Iranian Leaders Wiring Money Out Of Country 'Like Crazy' Lest anyone still entertain the idea that Washington conducts military interventions abroad for the sake of "democracy" or because it "stands with the people" or for "human rights" - we bring you Thursday's testimony of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent before the Senate Banking Committee... U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Iran: We created a dollar shortage in the country. It came to a swift conclusion.

Why DeSantis Believes AI Needs Tight Regulation Now Authored by Nanette Holt & Natasha Holt via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), As Florida lawmakers debate legislation in the state’s capital, Gov. Ron DeSantis is making an all-out push to a finish line. The 47-year-old Republican is in the last year of his second four-year term as governor, making him ineligible to run again.

Soaring Trucker Rejection Rates Suggest "Epic Year" For Drivers Trucking advocacy group American Truckers United set the narrative late last year that the Trump administration's crackdown on fraudulent, non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses that flooded US highways during the Biden-Harris regime era - linked to deadly crashes nationwide and the collapse in spot rates for mom-and-pop American truckers - was finally set to end and begin transitioning into industry tailwinds in 2026.

Cuba Ready To Negotiate With Trump, But Urges Dialing Down Of Pressure Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has offered to enter negotiations with Washington, but has made clear that this must happen "without pressure" - at a moment the Trump administration is seeking to economically strangle Cuba - even going so far as to openly tout the desire to see regime change.

If You're Free To Complain about Fascism, You Don't Live In A Fascist Country Authored by Jenna McCarthy via Jenna's Side, Many, many years ago—we’re talking decades—I got into a fight with a boy I’d been dating for (thankfully) not very long. I can’t even recall what the argument was about, but I’ll never forget his very last words to me: “God, you’re so stupid.” “There are plenty of insults you could fling at me that would be accurate,” I informed him by way of a breakup. “Hot-headed, demanding, defensive, defiant, opinionated, unfiltered, gets […]

"Are We A Nation... Or A Market?" Heritage And Cato Square-Off In Right-Wing Think-Tank Infighting In last night’s ZeroHedge immigration debate, Simon Hankinson of the Heritage Foundation and David Bier of the Cato Institute offered sharply different policy prescriptions on the border, ICE, and H1B visas.

Bier, by contrast, defended the increasingly unpopular position of loosening immigration restrictions […]

Anti-ICE Applause: Jackson's Disqualifying Moment Authored by David Manney via PJ Media, One thing we should never see is judges high-fiving criminals at parties; they enforce the law, not celebrate those who mock it. Neutrality demands distance from chaos, especially when robes hang in the closet. Attending events that trash law enforcement turns impartiality into a punchline. Blackburn's Call for Probe Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) urged Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Blackburn pointed to Jackson's attendance at […]

Liquidity isn't just about whether you can sell—it's about how fast, how cleanly, and at what cost.

Pam Bondi's DOJ Is Sabotaging The Trump Coalition Authored by John Velleco, Executive Vice President Gun Owners of America, In November 2024, the American people decisively elected President Trump to a second term in office.

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.
