John Rubino joins Dunagun Kaiser to discuss how soaring gold and silver prices are signaling a loss of confidence in fiat currencies and the accelerating decline of the dollar’s purchasing power. He explains that as governments continue inflating debt and deficits, capital is flooding into real assets like precious metals, driving a powerful bull market that could persist until a major monetary reset. Rubino notes that even mainstr...

Silver has been rising about a dollar per day, recently breaking above $54 before being pushed lower, while gold briefly topped $4,300 before similar resistance appeared. Analyst Ed Steer explained that despite these pullbacks, both metals are under strong upward pressure as global physical shortages intensify. Massive withdrawals from COMEX vaults and surging demand in London, India, and China are straining supplies, revealing a d...

Clem Chambers explains that silver’s explosive rise above $53 stems from deep structural shortages and geopolitical tension. He contrasts gold’s demand—driven by central bank accumulation—with silver’s more retail-driven surge, noting that only eight times more silver than gold is mined each year, yet the price ratio remains around 80-to-1. Chambers links both metals’ rallies to a larger U.S.-China industrial and technological conf...

Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin reports from Aruba that the London silver market is experiencing an unprecedented liquidity crisis, with massive backwardation and lease rates soaring above 100%, surpassing even the 1980 Hunt Brothers silver squeeze. Schectman describes premiums on U.S. Silver Eagles and Gold Eagles skyrocketing as inventories across mints, refiners, and wholesalers dry up, creating what he calls a “broken market.”...

Elijah K. Johnson interviews mining executive and precious metals analyst David Jensen, who warns that the London silver market is effectively seizing up as liquidity vanishes and physical supply dries up. Jensen cites Bloomberg’s report confirming “no silver liquidity,” explaining that excessive paper claims on non-existent metal have finally pushed the LBMA system toward collapse. He argues that billions of paper ounces and extre...

Elijah K. Johnson interviews Dr. Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute to discuss silver’s historic breakout above $50 and what it signals about the weakening U.S. dollar. Thornton explains that while the $50 level is a psychological barrier, inflation and ongoing money printing mean silver’s rise is far from over. He notes that silver has lagged gold for decades due to structural factors like lost industrial demand and byproduct mi...

Steve Penny of The Silver Chartist says silver’s breakout above $50 marks a historic milestone but urges caution in the short term. He explains that both the U.S. dollar and silver sit at critical technical levels—silver testing major resistance and the dollar touching long-term support. While Penny remains firmly bullish, expecting “triple-digit silver,” he notes that the current risk-to-reward ratio is roughly one-to-one, with eq...

Silver briefly broke above $51 to new all-time highs before falling back under $49, which David Morgan said was a predictable pullback as exchanges hiked margin requirements and professional traders took profits. Michael Oliver argued that this volatility is “idiot selling,” noting that silver is on the verge of a “quantum leap to a new reality” between $100 and $200 per ounce within six months once its spread versus gold triggers ...

Mario Innecco (https://www.youtube.com/maneco64) speaks about gold breaking above $4,000 and silver nearing $50, signaling deeper issues within the global financial system. Innecco warns that such price surges often precede major economic or geopolitical crises, comparing today’s environment to 1980, 2008, and 2011 when precious metals spiked before turmoil. He suggests gold may be anticipating hidden credit stress, inflation, or w...

Gold and silver markets are surging, with gold nearing $4,000 and silver pushing $50, driven by global unease over political instability, the U.S. government shutdown, and recession fears. Clive Thompson says investors are losing faith in holding cash and rushing into tangible assets, while institutional portfolios still hold less than 1% gold on average, leaving room for a major revaluation if allocations rise even modestly. He vi...

Gold nears $4,000 and silver approaches $50, and Peter Grandich joins Elijah K. Johnson to explain what’s driving this historic surge. He says the rally has happened without mainstream investor participation, led mainly by Asian physical demand and central bank buying. Grandich warns that while higher prices are possible, a short-term pause or correction could follow these milestones. He expects a rollover in stocks and crypto to e...

Americans are still buying stocks, believing everything is fine, while foreign central banks are dumping U.S. debt and buying gold, signaling a global loss of confidence in the dollar. Don Durrett explains that the U.S. debt bubble, driven by decades of “voodoo economics,” has reached the breaking point—our creditors are foreign nations, and they’re beginning to walk away. Despite record highs in both gold and the stock market, Dur...

He warns of a per...

Rick Rule explains that if the US dollar loses 75% of its purchasing power in the next 10 years, as it did in the 1970s, then the nominal price of gold is likely to rise three- to fourfold, providing an essential hedge for portfolios. Alasdair Macleod warns that foreign ownership of the dollar, already exceeding one-third of US GDP, could trigger a crisis if investors exit en masse. Dunagan Kaiser hosts the panel, bringing out the ...
