Iran Kills Petrodollar? What Markets Aren't Pricing In | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco argues the recent selloff in gold and silver is a violent but probably temporary shakeout, not a thesis break. His bigger view is that the Iran conflict may be accelerating de-dollarization, with oil trade potentially shifting into yuan and gold-backed settlement, which he thinks would weaken the petrodollar, pressure Treasuries and equities, and ultimately force more central-bank support.

Wars, Stock Crash, Bond Crisis All Hits Now | Don Durrett

Preview:Don Durrett argues that 2026 is a turning point for the U.S. economy: recession, bond-market stress, and dollar weakness are all converging, with the Iran war acting as an accelerant rather than the root cause. He remains bullish on gold, silver, and miners despite the recent pullback, saying the secular bull market is intact and that the stocks are still cheap because Wall Street does not believe higher metal prices will persist.

War To Bring About Fiat Collapse & CBDCs | Robert Kientz

Preview:Robert Kientz argues that the U.S. is moving toward a de facto digital currency system built through stablecoins, tokenized banking rails, and bank adoption of crypto infrastructure. He says war, debt pressure, and commodity conflict could be the catalyst that helps justify or accelerate the shift away from fiat, while gold and silver advocates are racing to build legal and physical infrastructure before that happens.

Oil Shock Could Trigger a Debt Reset | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues the Iran/oil shock is less a standalone geopolitical event than a deliberate inflationary mechanism inside a larger debt-debasement cycle. He frames oil as a strategic "Rockefeller tax" that can force inflation higher, pressure bond markets and currencies, and ultimately help reset excessive fiat debt, while acknowledging that the same shock could also damage growth and trigger broader liquidation.

SILVER BREAKING POINT? Global War, Rising Rates, and a $240T Bubble | David Jensen

Preview:David Jensen argues the Iran conflict is not a short-lived shock but the opening of a more volatile regime marked by higher rates, weaker bonds, and rising demand for physical gold and silver. He says the combination of war, tight inventories, and the end of decades of artificially cheap money could expose the leverage in global stocks and bonds, making precious metals and other real assets the preferred refuge.

Silver Manipulation - They Lost Control | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver, gold, and the miners are in a powerful base rather than a top, with silver’s recent drop being a sharp but non-damaging interruption. He expects a possible Fed cut and a brief stock-market lift first, but thinks that setup ultimately supports monetary metals and may precede broader financial stress.

Smart Money Holding Gold As Chaos Continues | Lobo Tiggre

Preview:Lobo Tiggre argues that geopolitical shocks can create brief spikes in gold and oil, but the lasting move depends on the underlying trend. His base case is that gold is in a correction/consolidation after a major run, with the next major move likely higher, while the more attractive current opportunities may be in oil, uranium, and copper on pullbacks. He also says he has already taken profits in precious metals and prefers rotating gains into relatively cheaper assets rather than trying to predict exact tops.

Sold Silver At $100, Here's What He Says Now | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers argues that silver’s prior surge to around $100 was a classic parabolic move that was meant to be sold into, not chased. He says he has moved much of his precious-metals exposure into other ideas, especially copper, platinum/palladium, uranium, and select stocks that benefit from AI-driven capex and re-industrialization.

Ask the Broker - LIVE!

Preview:Kaiser Johnson uses the episode to answer broker-style questions about physical precious metals, with a strong focus on current price anomalies in junk silver and pre-1933 gold. His main message is tactical: premiums in those areas are unusually depressed, refiners and dealers are backlogged from a wave of selling, and investors should think in terms of liquidity, retail demand, and swapability rather than just cheapest ounces.

Debt & Wars: Your Savings Could Be WIPED Out | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco argues that debt, war, tariffs, and geopolitical risk are reinforcing an inflationary, currency-debasement backdrop that remains broadly supportive of hard assets, especially gold and silver. He also thinks oil and some commodities could be catching up after lagging the metals, and he views the recent precious-metals volatility as a correction within a larger bull market rather than a thesis-breaker.

This Is The Endgame! Fed Starting To Lose Control | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues that the Fed is losing control, evidenced by long-term rates rising while short-term rates fall — the first time this has happened since 1980. He subscribes to Daniel Oliver's thesis that the next round of QE/rate cuts will produce pure currency debasement rather than credit inflation, sending gold and silver sharply higher in a terminal "endgame." Near-term, he sees low open interest in gold futures (~406K contracts) signaling speculators have mostly exited, limiting downside price risk. He expects one more banking crisis to trigger the final Fed panic, after which backwardation in silver will become permanent. Farber advocates holding physical gold and silver plus mining stocks as dividend-paying real-money producers, while acknowledging confiscation risk.

Silver Price Smash AGAIN - What's Next? | Craig Hemke

Preview:Craig Hemke argues the silver smash was a futures-driven washout, not a fundamental change in the precious-metals thesis. He sees the bigger picture as intact: ongoing currency debasement, heavy central-bank gold demand, persistent deficits, and a likely move toward lower rates/yield-curve control that should remain supportive for gold and, by extension, silver.

Silver Market Is Just Getting More Bullish | Peter Krauth

Preview:Peter Krauth argues silver’s violent pullback has not broken the bullish thesis; in his view the market remains structurally tight because macro conditions, industrial demand, and limited mine supply all still point higher. He expects continued volatility in a broad 70–85 range near term, but still sees higher prices later, with $100 likely to be revisited and potentially become a floor.

After Silver's Flash Crash, What's Next? | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny argues that silver’s violent selloff is probably an intermediate pause, not the end of the bull market. He thinks the current action most resembles a 1974-style consolidation before a much larger 1979-style blow-off, with gold eventually north of $10,000 and silver into the triple digits if the next Fed response to crisis unleashes another deflationary impulse.

World War For Resources Has Started | Greg Weldon

Preview:Greg Weldon argues that the precious-metals rally is part of a larger shift away from dollar-centered trade and reserve management, with China, Russia, and BRICS-style arrangements pushing a more multipolar commodity and currency order. He sees gold and silver as responding to that regime change, but also warns that both can correct sharply and should be bought on technically defined pullbacks rather than averaged down blindly. He is also bearish on the stock market’s breadth and consumer backdrop, saying AI capex and record highs are masking weakening momentum, rising credit stress, and a possible significant selloff.

Ask the Broker LIVE!

Preview:Isa Johnson of Liberty and Finance runs a live broker Q&A focused on physical silver market conditions, dealer spreads, and how to vet misinformation. The core message is that silver’s recent volatility has created a better buying environment than when spot was above $100, while buyback premiums and retail demand are normalizing after a flood of selling. He also strongly pushes back on viral claims about new precious-metals reporting rules, arguing that the popular "February 15" scare video line is based on fake or misread sources. The episode is part market update, part customer-service guidance, and part anti-misinformation PSA.

Cascading Silver Price Shocks Investors | David Jensen

Preview:David Jensen argues the January 30 silver crash was driven by algorithmic exploitation of hidden CME circuit breaker vulnerabilities — specifically "velocity logic" rules that allow HFT firms to reset price limits via millisecond-level ticks without triggering the public 10% two-minute trading halt. He contends the physical silver market faces a genuine global shortage, with Shanghai spot/futures pricing well above New York and a cash-to-futures inversion signaling scarcity. His core message: ignore the digital paper price; the fundamentals point to much higher silver; the risk is a market seizure where silver becomes unavailable at any price.

Silver Market Mayhem: Normal Sell-Off or Manipulation? | Robert Kientz

Preview:Robert Kientz argues that the recent huge selloff in silver and gold was not explained by fundamentals, but by derivative-market positioning, short covering, and possibly algorithmic/circuit-breaker issues. He remains structurally bullish on both metals, especially silver, while warning that volatility, paper-market dominance, and trader shakeouts will likely intensify.

$6000 Gold, Silver Past $120 This Year | Todd "Bubba" Horwitz

Preview:Todd "Bubba" Horwitz argues the post-spike selloff in silver and gold is a volatile but ultimately bullish reset within a larger precious-metals bull market. He also warns that equities look extremely stretched versus money supply, expects more volatility and possible downside in stocks, and says traders should focus on levels, risk control, and not overleverage.

What Happened To Silver? | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver’s violent drop was a classic euphoric blowoff and liquidation event, not necessarily the final top. He thinks the charts still leave room for a rebound toward 100 or even 110 in the near term, but he is generally scaling out of precious metals and is wary of a much larger correction over the coming months if equities roll over.

Silver SLAMMED As Trump Nominates New Fed Chair | Dr. Mark Thornton

Preview:Dr. Mark Thornton argues the sharp drop in gold and silver after Trump’s Fed-chair nomination is mostly a sentiment shock, not a change in the underlying bullish case for hard assets. He sees Kevin Warsh as the most hawkish and most Wall Street-friendly of the candidate set, which reassured financial elites even as it briefly pressured metals. Thornton still expects the broader backdrop—easy policy, heavy liquidity, weak confidence in politics, and looming recession risk—to support gold and silver after the immediate volatility passes.

Oliver Nailed $100 Silver - Now Calls For $300-$500

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver has entered a rare, regime-changing breakout and could reach $300–$500, with the move likely concentrated into early summer and accompanied by sharp but tradable pullbacks. He pairs that view with a broader bullish case for commodities and bearish warnings on long bonds and the U.S. dollar.

Why I SOLD ALL My Silver | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers says he sold all his silver because the move has become a classic parabolic blowoff, with FOMO and retail speculation driving prices more than fundamentals. He is rotating into gold, some platinum/palladium, and other perceived under-owned areas like nuclear-power-related stocks.

Silver Short-Term Top? What's Next | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich says silver’s run has likely entered the late-stage, parabolic phase: he still thinks the secular highs may not be in, but he believes the bulk of the move is already behind us and that a sharp correction is increasingly likely. He argues the best near-term move is to raise liquidity, wait out volatility, and avoid chasing metals, stocks, or crypto at these levels.

SILVER BREAKS $100! Celebration w/ David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan argues silver has entered a price-discovery phase after breaking $100, and he expects the move could extend higher even if there is a short-term pause or shakeout around round-number resistance. He also urges selective profit-taking into strength, especially into platinum and oil, while keeping some metal as insurance against monetary disorder.

Expect Way More Fireworks In Silver | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues silver is in the early-to-middle stages of a much larger cyclical bull market, not a short-lived squeeze, and that the move could still extend dramatically despite intermittent pullbacks. He is bullish on silver, gold, the gold/silver ratio going lower, and especially platinum as a lagging metal set to catch up.

Shanghai Silver Surpasses $100/oz | David Jensen

Preview:David Jensen argues silver’s surge reflects a genuine global physical shortage, with Shanghai prices, London backwardation, and retail scarcity all pointing to paper market stress. He sees precious metals as monetary insurance in a broader regime of currency debasement and believes the current price-fixing structure is losing control.

Silver Supply Chain Disruption Led By Governments? | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco (Maneco64) argues that the precious metals bull market — especially silver — is still in early stages. He sees the Fed independence controversy as noise; the real drivers are unsustainable debt, supply shortages in physical silver, and heavy Asian buying. He expects silver to continue outperforming gold, warns against selling for cash, and points to the gold-silver ratio dropping from ~100 to ~50 as confirmation the bull market is genuine. His core view: we risk hyperinflation, and stacking physical silver remains the best strategy for 2026.

Silver's Next Target: $106 | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues silver is in a powerful breakout phase and may have one more emotional push toward $106 before a likely pause or consolidation. He remains bullish on gold and sees platinum as the next-best metal, while still preferring equities short term and cash later if markets top.

Physical Silver Market In Control! | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich argues that the physical silver and gold market has taken control from the paper market, and that Asia-based physical demand, resource scarcity, geopolitics, and weaker confidence in fiat systems support much higher precious-metals prices. He is bullish on gold, silver, copper, and miners, but warns that investors should expect corrections, and he emphasizes capital preservation and faith over fear-based hoarding.

$120 Silver, $6000 Gold In 2026 | Craig Hemke

Preview:Craig Hemke argues that the gold and silver bull market is being driven less by chart patterns than by physical tightness, government behavior, and macro policy that he expects to stay supportive into 2026. He is notably bullish on silver and gold, with year-end targets of about $120 silver and $6,000 gold, while warning that near-term volatility can be brutal and that certain policy or demand shocks could still create pullbacks.

Financial System Likely Can't Last Past 2026 | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues silver’s surge is a sign of a broader monetary breaking point, not just a trade. He says the current setup is extremely dangerous because futures market leverage can be changed abruptly, but his core view is that gold and silver are forms of money that let people exit the credit system before a larger financial crack-up.

I'm Not Selling Silver...Yet | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers argues silver still has upside after hitting his prior $80 area, but he is more interested in staying with the trade than timing an exact top. He links the move in silver and gold to central-bank buying, rising geopolitical tension, and an inflationary wave from AI spending and re-industrialization. He also says AI is not a bubble in the meaningful sense because it should drive a step-change in productivity, capital spending, and market leadership.

Silver Crash To $50? What Comes Next | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny argues silver’s violent breakout may be an intermediate blowoff rather than the start of a straight-line move, with a plausible path back to $50 and an extreme bullish path toward $150+ if the next panic forces a Fed response. He favors a disciplined “if then” approach: trim into strength, manage exposure across silver/gold/platinum, and avoid getting trapped by momentum and headlines at a potential peak.

Silver's Pullback Means Nothing - Here's My Next Target | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver’s sharp pullback is a normal interruption in a much larger breakout, not the start of a failed move. He says a key relative-performance breakout against gold in late November marked the start of a new regime, and that silver could reach the “hundreds” within about six months, with the next several months likely marked by violent but brief selloffs and fast recoveries.

$80 silver and back again... what's next in 2026? Ask the broker - LIVE!

Preview:Kaiser Johnson hosts a live Q&A for Liberty and Finance focused on precious metals trading, especially the sharp 2025 silver move, junk silver premiums, silver/platinum and silver/gold ratios, and how to think about physical-market behavior versus paper-market noise. He repeatedly frames himself as a day-to-day broker, not a technical analyst, and spends a meaningful portion of the show warning viewers about AI-generated silver videos and fake market content.

Silver Drops 10% - What's Next? | Peter Krauth

Preview:Peter Krauth argues silver’s violent pullback is a volatility event inside a still-bullish structural bull market, not a thesis break. He says the move was fueled by FOMO, thin holiday liquidity, tight physical supply, strong industrial demand, ETF inflows, and upcoming Chinese export restrictions, and he thinks a healthy correction toward the low $60s would actually improve the setup.

Silver's Biggest Day In History | Todd "Bubba" Horwitz

Preview:Todd 'Bubba' Horwitz argues that the explosive move in silver, gold, and platinum is being driven by debt, inflation, central-bank buying, and FOMO, but he also says the move is now extended and due for a pullback or consolidation. He stays bullish on metals over the coming months and years, while warning traders not to chase and urging investors to keep leverage low and use hedges.

This Is No Normal Silver Bull Market | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver has entered an unusually powerful breakout phase that is not normal cycle behavior but the start of a “new reality,” with potential for a very rapid move much higher over the next couple of quarters. He ties that view to technical breakouts in silver versus gold, gold versus the S&P 500, and miners versus the S&P, and he expects the old 50-year silver range to be left behind. He also says gold remains in a powerful momentum advance and could still follow its prior eightfold historical pattern, which would imply very large upside for both metals.

Gold & Silver Surge Higher - What's Next? | Don Durrett

Preview:Don Durrett argues that the silver surge is fundamentally a gold story: central-bank and smart-money buying, a weaker U.S. economic position since 2000, and rising scarcity in silver inventories are driving the move. He thinks silver is in a catch-up phase, still early in a larger bull market, but near-term pullbacks toward a rising floor around $50 are possible.

$66 Silver on the rise! What's Next? Ask The Gold & Silver Broker LIVE

Preview:Kaiser Johnson hosts a live Q&A for Liberty and Finance/Miles Franklin focused on silver’s surge, gold-silver ratio trading, and what products to stack or swap. His main message is that silver is still worth owning despite the move to the mid-$60s because of long-run industrial demand, possible institutional accumulation, and ongoing portfolio uses for stacking, speculation, and flexibility.

As Gold & Silver Hit ATHs, What's Your Exit Strategy? | Steve Barton

Preview:Steve Barton argues that the precious-metals bull market is still intact, with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium all in strong technical uptrends and little evidence of a major top yet. He thinks silver remains the most explosive setup, gold’s next leg could carry toward the low-$5,000s, and any near-term correction in metals would likely be brief unless a broader liquidity shock hits equities.

Silver Tops $64! Triple Digits Soon? | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues silver is in the early stages of a disorderly, momentum-driven breakout and that the move is being reinforced by fiat debasement, Fed easing, and severe physical-supply tightness. He sees the gold/silver ratio breaking down toward much lower levels, warns leveraged traders not to chase after near-term runs, and remains even more bullish on platinum as the next catch-up candidate.

$64 Silver! What's Next? Ask The Gold & Silver Broker LIVE

Preview:A solo Q&A session with precious metals broker Kaiser Johnson of Miles Franklin, fielding viewer questions about silver's recent breakout above $64/oz. He argues silver is still undervalued on a 40-year inflation-adjusted basis, notes that premiums are historically low (making it an excellent time to buy or swap), and explains why the structural supply deficit — driven by industrial/technology demand far outstripping new mine supply — supports the bull case. The session is practical and product-focused, covering coin types, premiums, buyback rates, IRA considerations, and the importance of dealing with a licensed dealer rather than eBay or unregulated sellers.

Possible Black Swans Circle | Dr. Mark Thornton

Preview:Dr. Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute warns that the Federal Reserve's activist policy has created conditions ripe for contagion. Multiple potential black swans are circling: the Japanese bond market, the yen carry trade unwind, commercial real estate, and opaque private equity/hedge fund leverage. While the MAG7/stock market appears to be in a topping "holding pattern," retail investors remain largely unresponsive — margin debt is high, cash balances low, and defensive positioning absent. On precious metals, he sees silver's recent surge to ~$59 and heightened volatility as a structural shift driven by institutional and sovereign buying, low wholesale inventories, and backwardation. The silver market is undergoing growing pains that will persist, though the fundamental stacking thesis remains intact.

Physical Silver Market Dominating As Silver Skyrockets | David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan discusses silver's parabolic move to nominal new highs (~$60), noting the market is "frothy" and likely needs to build a base via a stair-step pattern rather than a blowoff top. He highlights a paradigm shift where Eastern exchanges (Shanghai, India ETPs) are dominating physical silver delivery, while Western retail is net selling. He recommends constitutional (junk) silver at current discounted premiums, warns a stock market correction could temporarily pull gold below $4,000 and silver below $50, and argues the Fed's rate-cutting power is diminishing as bond vigilantes reassert control.

Ask The Gold & Silver Broker LIVE

Preview:Kaiser Johnson of Miles Franklin Precious Metals hosts a live Q&A focused on the mechanics of buying and selling physical gold and silver. He explains how junk silver pricing works (the 0.715 troy ounces per $1 face value multiplier), discusses current premium environments across products (Eagles, Maples, junk silver, foreign sovereigns), and fields viewer questions on confiscation risk, bank hassles with coin dealers, gold coin composition, IRA pitfalls, and swap strategies. The tone is educational and retail-oriented, without macroeconomic forecasting or price targets.

Blow Off Top For Silver? Be Careful What You Wish For | Lobo Tiggre

Preview:Lobo Tiggre argues that silver’s recent surge may be a warning sign rather than just a breakout: if silver starts decisively catching gold in a parabolic way, that could mark the late stage of the bull market, not its beginning. He stays broadly bullish on gold, silver, and especially copper, while emphasizing that bullion is more about insurance and wealth preservation than chasing short-term tops. He is skeptical of Bitcoin as an investment because he cannot confidently value it, though he sees crypto as helpful in educating younger investors about fiat debasement.

Silver Has Broken Out! Why $80 Is In Sights | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers argues that the recent liquidity squeeze has resolved as the US government resumed pumping money into the system, setting up a strong year-end rally across assets. His core focus is silver, which has broken above $56 to new all-time highs — he sees the breakout as a high-probability signal for a move to ~$80. He's broadly bullish on gold, commodities (copper, oil, aluminium, nickel), and selected equities, framing them within an AI-driven commodity supercycle. He cautions that the real exit signal will come when bullish media goes silent or when everyone predicts silver at $200–$1,000, not now when caution still dominates.

Silver Closes Above $56! Physical Market Taking Over | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco (Maneco64) discusses silver's historic breakout above $55-56 with Liberty and Finance's Elijah K. Johnson. Core thesis: physical silver demand is overwhelming the paper market, driven by a new wave of central bank and sovereign buying (Gulf states, China, Russia, Turkey, South Korea) that didn't exist during the 2021 silver squeeze. He argues $100 silver by year-end or January is plausible given historical analogs (1979-80 tripling) and technical breakout above the multi-decade "teacup" resistance at ~$51. He strongly advocates physical over futures/ETFs, highlighting the CME outage as suspicious, and recommends dollar-cost averaging for new buyers.

Don't Be Surprised If Silver Blows Past $200 Rapidly | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues that the move in precious metals is only beginning, with silver set to outperform gold and possibly stage a very large, fast breakout. He frames the rally as a relative-performance shift out of stocks and into monetary metals, and says silver’s suppression may be ending just as broader credit and government-debt stresses build.

Gold/Silver Shoot Higher Amid Banking Liquidity Crisis | Matthew Piepenburg

Preview:Matthew Piepenburg of Von Greyerz argues that gold and silver are in a secular bull market driven not by ordinary asset dynamics but by a systemic bear market in paper currencies. He points to unsustainable global debt, currency debasement through money printing, and emerging banking liquidity stress (spiking repo rates vs Fed funds) as the structural drivers. The key near-term signal: repo market stress is flashing a "low oil" warning for the banking system, which will ultimately force more QE-like liquidity injections — another tailwind for precious metals. He also argues that inflation is significantly understated (~11% using pre-1980 methodology) and that central banks and mainstream institutions are now openly pivoting to gold, making the gold thesis "almost too easy."

London's Silver Shortage Could Lead To Banking Crisis | David Jensen

Preview:David Jensen, a mining executive and precious metals analyst, argues that London's silver market is operating on a razor-thin "silver in, silver out" basis with essentially zero free float, evidenced by the October 10 trading halt and continued backwardation. He contends the physical silver market is in a structural deficit of ~300M ounces against 825M ounces of mine supply, that ETFs like SLV show anomalously low holdings relative to price gains, and that the only resolution is significantly higher prices to incentivize recycling. He recommends physical ownership over paper claims and views the current price pullback from $54 as a temporary pause in a longer-term squeeze.

Final Credit Crunch Happening Now? | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues the financial system is nearing a liquidity break: SOFR/repo stress, shrinking bank reserves, and rising dependence on Fed backstops may force either more inflation or a banking-system rupture. He thinks gold and silver are in a volatile but structurally bullish phase, while Japan’s yen weakness is a warning sign that fiat systems are approaching an inflection point.

Sell-Off Is Over, Melt-Up Ahead | David Hunter

Preview:David Hunter, a contrarian macro strategist with 50+ years on Wall Street, tells Liberty and Finance that the recent ~5% S&P pullback has likely bottomed. He projects a 40%+ melt-up to S&P 9,500 by early 2026, gold to $5,000 (possibly conservative), and silver to $100 — all before a global bust he calls the end of a 43-year secular bull market, featuring an ~80% stock crash, then 25% inflation, and a commodity-led next cycle.

Silver Pullback Before It Explodes Higher? | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny of The Silver Chartist lays out his short-term view that silver likely remains rangebound between $45.50 and $54.41 while consolidating, with a longer-term cup-and-handle pattern targeting $96+ once the all-time high is definitively broken. He emphasizes strategy over prediction — keeping core physical holdings untouched, using a separate account for tactical trims and re-entries, and maintaining cash for buying dips. He sees gold as similarly rangebound but less attractive for new money than silver, uranium, and platinum. His bearish plausible case is a confirmed double top sending silver to ~$37; the bull case is a breakout toward $96. He notes mining stocks are already beaten down and selectively attractive.

Stock Mayhem Ahead, Silver/Gold Likely Bottomed | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich argues gold and silver have likely already put in their lows after a sharp but healthy correction, while the bigger risk now is a broad stock-market rollover in 2026–2027. He says the metals bull market is being reinforced by weaker U.S. data, geopolitical stress, central-bank buying, and a shift in mainstream portfolio thinking, whereas equities are vulnerable to thin leadership, AI bubble behavior, political dysfunction, and economic softening.

Silver's Not Done: Next Surge Will SHOCK Analysts | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues the recent pullback in silver is mostly over and that the next leg higher is near, with the key trigger being a breakout in the silver/gold spread rather than silver’s own price chart. He also says gold is breaking out versus major stock indexes, U.S. equities are in a topping process, and Bitcoin is testing a structural momentum break that could matter for the Nasdaq.

Why $5,000+ Gold and $67 Silver May Come Fast | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen argues gold and silver have just finished a sharp FOMO-driven pause and are likely to resume higher after more short-term volatility. He sees a possible stock-market top, a fragile financial system, and a stronger dollar later as part of a larger setup that could eventually produce much higher precious-metal prices, even if there is another pullback first.

Huge Silver Correction Coming Before Spike To $100? | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny of Silver Chartist presents a cautiously bullish short-term view on silver and gold, arguing that after the recent pullback from ~$54 to ~$45, there's a >50% chance of further downside — possibly to $40 or even $35 — driven by a likely dollar bounce and weak-handed selling. However, his long-term thesis remains aggressively bullish: triple-digit silver is the Fed's inevitable reaction to the next panic-driven equity sell-off. He views any dips as buying opportunities and emphasizes strategy over predictions, noting he exited miners near the peak and is now scaling back in. Key levels: silver support at $40-35, gold support at $4,000 and $3,500, platinum target of $2,309.

Gold Dethrones King Dollar - What This Means For Silver | Robert Kientz

Preview:Robert Kientz argues that gold’s recent pullback is mainly a derivative-market reset, not a structural top, and that the deeper trend is still bullish because central banks, sovereigns, and large banks are repositioning around dollar debasement, gold’s Basel 3 status, and the rollout of CBDCs/digital IDs. He is even more constructive on silver over time, but says the market is being managed to keep prices from running too far too fast.

$40 Trillion Debt Bubble - Systemic Collapse Ahead | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues the April treasury/basis-trade wobble exposed a much larger systemic fragility in U.S. government bond funding, where heavy leverage, repo financing, and money-market plumbing create artificial demand for Treasuries and raise the odds of a future liquidity crisis. He remains structurally bullish gold and silver, but says the current pullback is not yet a confirmed bottom and is better treated as an accumulation zone than a leverage-long entry.

Expect Run To Gold, Not Dollars, In Coming Crisis | Matthew Piepenberg

Preview:Matthew Piepenberg of Von Greyerz Gold discusses the recent gold volatility ($180 down day, $260 pullback) as normal bull-market behavior, not a top. He anchors his secular gold thesis in dollar devaluation, central bank gold stacking (now exceeding US Treasury holdings since 2014), de-dollarization post-2022, and debt unsustainability ($38T public debt, $2T deficits). He addresses the counterargument (Zeberg's DXY-spike thesis) but argues the world has already tipped toward gold as the preferred safe haven in a crisis. He dismisses timing pullbacks as a "fool's errand" and urges holding gold as generational savings measured in ounces, not dollars.

The Silver Bull Market Is Not Over | Lobo Tiggre

Preview:Lobo Tiggre says the precious-metals bull market is still intact, but he thinks the recent vertical move justifies taking some profits so gains are not given back. He remains bullish on gold, silver, copper, and uranium, while warning that silver and platinum can be more volatile near-term and that industrial metals may be more sensitive to slowing growth.

Silver Pauses After Historic Pullback - What's Next? | Mark Thornton

Preview:Economist Mark Thornton frames the recent sharp gold and silver pullback — including gold's largest nominal one-day drop ever — as "growing pains" from a market experiencing a rapid expansion in participation, not a sign of a top. He argues that widespread supply shortages across retailers, wholesalers, refiners, and mints, combined with spot prices above futures, point to intense demand. Thornton advocates a long-term stacking philosophy: buy consistently on dips, ignore dollar-price noise, and treat precious metals as market-based insurance against government-caused instability.

Silver Demand Breaking The Market | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafie Farber argues the recent gold and silver pullback is a normal correction inside a larger monetary endgame, not the end of the bull market. His core view is that the real explosive phase has not begun yet because the Fed has not restarted large-scale money creation; until then, he expects periodic dollar short squeezes and metal selloffs, followed by a stronger upside phase once a bank crisis forces renewed easing.

Gold & Silver Shakeout, Fundamentals Remain Bullish | Adrian Day

Preview:Adrian Day argues that gold and silver's recent sharp pullback is a normal bull-market correction, not a top. Key fundamentals — central bank diversification away from the dollar, fiscal irresponsibility, and weaponization of the dollar — remain fully intact. Crucially, there is no public mania, which historically must precede any major top. He sees the broader stock market as increasingly risky (narrow breadth, extreme insider selling), and is also turning bullish on energy (peaking US shale, extreme undervaluation vs. gold) and copper (structural supply deficit).

Gold/Silver Plunge, Update on US/China Trade War | Doomberg

Preview:Doomberg joins Liberty and Finance for a live-stream discussion during a sharp gold/silver selloff. He frames the drop as a healthy shakeout after an "Icarian" run, reveals he trimmed ~20% of his gold position on Friday, and plans to re-enter around $4,000. The bulk of the conversation shifts to geopolitics: he argues China has "total escalation dominance" in the trade war (especially via rare earths), that the US will be forced to retreat, and that this represents a battle in "World War III" — a bifurcation of the global financial system away from USD hegemony. On energy, he's firmly bearish: oil is oversupplied, commodities are poor investments vs. gold. The core thesis is that gold replaces US Treasuries as a neutral reserve asset, making pullbacks buying opportunities for savers with long horizons.

There’s Not Enough Silver: It's That Simple | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers argues that the precious metals rally is driven by the escalating US-China conflict and governments globally stockpiling gold as "the currency of international conflict." He frames gold's vertical move as a war signal, not an inflation trade. On silver, he cites the mining ratio: 3,200 tons of gold vs. 25,000 tons of silver — only 8x more — versus an 80:1 price ratio, calling the supply imbalance obvious. He advocates platinum/palladium as the next rotation trade at a fraction of gold's price with only 200 tons annual supply each, and ties the macro picture to America's desperate need to re-industrialize via robotics and AI to compete with China.

Mainstream Waking Up To Silver Shortages | Steve Barton

Preview:Steve Barton argues the gold and silver bull markets are still intact, but short-term overheating is real. He sees gold as having already hit key technical targets near $4,100 and silver as signaling physical stress through backwardation, while still cautioning that miners may be due for a consolidation even if bullion remains strong.

Expect Much Higher Silver Prices - $50 Is No Barrier | Dr. Mark Thornton

Preview:Dr. Mark Thornton discusses silver breaking above $50/oz, framing it as a psychological barrier rather than a fundamental ceiling. He argues silver is cheap relative to gold and inflation-adjusted 1980 levels, expects the gold-silver ratio to fall from ~79 to potentially 50 (or below 20 in a hyperinflation scenario), and identifies private equity and AI-related malinvestment as potential black swans. Geopolitical escalation and Fed money printing are cited as structural drivers for precious metals.

ALERT: No Silver Liquidity In London | David Jensen

Preview:David Jensen, mining executive and precious metals analyst, argues the London silver market is seizing up — an investment manager quoted by Bloomberg confirmed "zero liquidity" of physical silver available in London. He attributes this to decades of fractional-reserve selling of claims against metal that doesn't exist, and sees the only resolution as materially higher prices. Knock-on effects could hit the gold market, bond yields, and the balance sheets of bullion banks with massive short positions. He frames the move as a monetary-demand flight from currency debasement, not an industrial or Indian-demand story, and highlights distressed signals from four major mints worldwide.

$50 Silver May Not Hold - Here's Why | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny argues silver is still in a strong bull market but the next few months are tactically less attractive because silver, gold, and uranium have become very overbought while the U.S. dollar is testing support. He expects possible consolidation or a pullback before the larger precious-metals trend resumes, and he urges investors to use a profit-taking plan rather than chase the move.

Silver Hits All-Time Highs, Retreats Sharply | Craig Hemke, David Morgan, Michael Oliver

Preview:The panel argues silver’s breakout above $50 is a major regime change, even though the intraday reversal looks ugly. David Morgan emphasizes long-running supply deficits and tight physical markets; Michael Oliver frames silver as leaving a 50-year price range and potentially moving into a much higher “new reality”; Craig Hemke ties the move to backwardation, algorithmic selling, and a likely 2026 macro backdrop of rate cuts and easier Fed policy.

Gold Breaks $4000 - Is The Dollar Collapsing? | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco discusses gold's historic break above $4,000/oz and silver's approach to $50, framing both as signals of systemic stress — whether economic, financial, or geopolitical. He warns against selling physical metals for fiat, drawing parallels to Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe, and argues the precious metals bull market remains early with mainstream and retail interest only beginning to awaken.

Gold Surges Past $4000, Silver Nearly Touches $50 | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen sees precious metals in a "perfect storm" — gold breaking a super-cycle, silver nearing all-time highs, and miners/platinum/palladium all surging. Short-term, he warns the space is frothy and at Fibonacci resistance; a pullback to $42-44 silver and a pause in gold are likely. Longer-term he remains very bullish, with silver potentially reaching $80+ and gold capable of another 10-15% upside. He flags retail FOMO, euphoric sentiment, and defensive big-money positioning as cautionary signals while emphasizing the secular bull trend remains intact.

Armies Of Investment Managers About To Rush Gold | Clive Thompson

Preview:Clive Thompson argues gold has entered a still-intact bull market that may pause or pull back short term, but is being driven higher by under-owned portfolios, policy instability, shutdown-related uncertainty, and the growing inadequacy of cash and bonds. He thinks investment managers are late to the trade, government debt dynamics are unsustainable, and the next big move could come from a rush into gold as official and private balance sheets seek protection.

Gold Nears $4,000, Silver $50 - The Shift Has Begun | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich joins Elijah K. Johnson on Liberty and Finance to discuss gold approaching $4,000 and silver near $50. Grandich, who sold all stocks and bonds for physical gold at end-2021, remains bullish but expects a pause/correction after the round-number prints. He sees the physical move driven by Asian buying, not US retail, and argues that a stock market/crypto peak plus eventual retail participation could drive much higher gold prices. For the first time in years, he's taken bearish positions on US equities. He also announces a shift away from junior mining toward faith-and-finance work.

It's Game Over: Debt Bubble Blowing Up | Don Durrett

Preview:Don Durrett argues that the gold and silver bull market is being driven less by U.S. retail fear and more by foreign buyers, especially central banks, who are reducing exposure to dollars and U.S. bonds. He says the real backdrop is a debt bubble and Triffin’s dilemma playing out, which he believes will eventually force a dollar devaluation and much higher gold prices.

Silver Breaking Records - What's Next? | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny of the Silver Chartist analyzes silver's historic run toward $50 and the sharp intraday pullback from $48. He assigns roughly 40% probability each to a sharp rejection at $50 or a breakthrough followed by consolidation, with only a small chance of an immediate parabolic move to $65-70. He flags a rising dollar risk, overbought monthly RSIs in both gold and silver, and advises a balanced strategy: maintain core positions but take speculative profits to buy future dips. Key support levels: silver $45/$43-41, gold $3,500.

Silver Makes Record High Quarterly Close | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver of Momentum Structural Analysis presents a highly bullish technical thesis on silver, arguing that the silver-to-gold spread is on the verge of a breakout that will trigger a "vertical" or "berserk" move similar to 1979-80 and 2010-11. He projects silver could reach $100 to $200 within a couple of quarters once the spread breaks out, and dismisses the $50 level as a meaningful resistance. He frames silver's multi-decade underperformance as a massive "market mistake" now being corrected, supported by unique supply dynamics (most silver is a byproduct of base-metal mining, limiting price-responsive production) and industrial demand from solar/AI.

Silver Nearing All-Time Highs - Expect Fireworks | Tavi Costa

Preview:Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital lays out a strongly bullish case for silver, gold, mining equities, and emerging markets. He argues silver's cup-and-handle breakout above prior highs will be "monumental," driven by gold's lead and a secular precious metals cycle. He sees a weakening US dollar — fueled by a twin deficit problem — as the key macro driver, and positions Latin American emerging markets as the next asymmetric opportunity. Near-term, he warns of equity market divergences but views any correction as a buying opportunity.

Fed Trapped: Banking Crisis or Dollar Collapse | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues the Fed is trapped: forced to cut rates into accelerating inflation (CPI >3%) to prevent a banking collapse, which will instead trigger a dollar collapse. He warns of a near-term repo market spike around September 30 quarter-end that could drive rates higher despite Fed cuts — an echo of the 2019 repo crisis. He ties this to a broader endgame: all fiat currencies are ultimately dollar derivatives, so when the dollar fails as reserve currency, the entire global monetary system resets to gold and silver for a generation. He sees the Chinese real estate collapse as a parallel domino and advocates physical precious metals first, with mining stocks as multi-decade plays for dividends in a post-fiat world.

Silver Surges Past $45... $50 Next? | David Morgan

Preview:Silver has surged past $45 and David Morgan (the Silver Guru) sees $50 as the next major battleground — a psychological barrier where he expects a stall and consolidation before an eventual breakout. He notes the unprecedented setup: a double top spanning 31 years (1980–2011) now being retested, with silver being the only major commodity still below its 1980 nominal high. Morgan expects a multi-year bull market to continue, with silver eventually outperforming gold and the gold/silver ratio contracting below 40. He flags growing institutional interest (Saudi Arabia buying SLV, wealthy individuals moving into eagles), expects retail panic-buying in a later stage, and warns that the banking system will eventually attempt a CBDC-based reset before being forced back to gold backing.

Silver Testing $45 - What's Next? | Todd "Bubba" Horwitz

Preview:Todd “Bubba” Horwitz is bullish on precious metals, arguing that Fed rate cuts, stubborn inflation, dollar weakness, and central-bank buying all support higher gold, silver, and platinum. He reiterated a year-end silver target around $45, said gold could still overshoot $4,000, and suggested platinum may be the relative value trade. He is also bearish on U.S. equities and the broader economy, citing weak participation, high debt, bad lending, and what he sees as hidden inflation and recessionary conditions.

Debt Fiat System Is In Collapse As Gold Races Higher | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues the global debt-fiat system is in structural collapse, and that gold and silver remain the primary anti-fiat trades. He is constructive on the long-term precious-metals trend, but cautions that gold may pause or correct short term after a strong run, with silver likely to need a breather before the next leg higher.

Expect $100+ Silver In Q1, 2026 | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver has entered an acceleration phase and that the prior $50 highs are now likely to be exceeded quickly, with a possible move above $100 in Q1 2026. He also sees elevated bubble risk in US equities, warning that Bitcoin weakness could spill into the Nasdaq and broader risk assets, while gold and commodities still have room to run.

Silver Is Exploding As Insiders Scramble For Supply | Andy Schectman

Preview:Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin argues silver is at a generational inflection point — breaking above $44 for the first time in ~14 years with a 45-year cup-and-handle pattern targeting $96–100. He cites record physical demand on COMEX, London lease rates spiking to 5–6.5%, reclassification of silver as a critical mineral by the US government, and big institutional money positioning while retail remains oblivious. Gold is framed as being rewoven into the global monetary fabric amid collapsing trust in Treasuries, dollar hegemony, and fiscal irresponsibility. Premiums are rising on certain products; he sees pre-33 gold and junk silver as pricing anomalies. The core message: cost-average into metals before the public wakes up.

$10K Gold Revaluation = Massive Inflation | Matthew Piepenburg

Preview:Matthew Piepenburg argues the Fed’s recent 25 bps cut is mostly symbolic and that the deeper story is a collapsing dollar-based system: rising debt, unreliable inflation data, more rate cuts ahead, and a growing case for gold as monetary insurance. He frames gold revaluation and stablecoins as possible tools for devaluing the dollar while preserving the appearance of system continuity, but says the real issue is decades of debt expansion and policy dishonesty.

"Gold, Silver, and Platinum Are Severely Undervalued" ~ Elijah K. Johnson

Preview:Elijah K. Johnson, host of Liberty and Finance, joins Steve Barton to discuss precious metals. His core thesis: gold and silver remain far from a blowoff top because retail demand is depressed while institutional and central bank buying drives prices. He flags unusually low premiums on junk silver and pre-1933 gold coins as strong value signals. He also warns that loss of confidence in fiat currencies and Fed independence points to more inflation ahead, and that CBDCs pose a threat to financial liberty.

Warning: These Indicators Are Predicting Sell-Off in Stocks | Steve Barton

Preview:Steve Barton argues that major U.S. equity indexes look technically stretched and may be close to a rollover, while gold, silver, and platinum remain in longer-term bullish trends despite being overbought in the short run. He leans on RSI divergence, wedge/double-top/flag patterns, and seasonality to warn of a near-term stock pullback, but he still sees higher medium-term targets for precious metals, especially gold above prior targets and platinum as undervalued versus gold and silver.

As Gold Tops $3600, Caution Is Warranted | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny argues precious metals remain in a strong secular bull market, but near-term caution is warranted after the recent vertical move. He is bullish long term on gold, silver, platinum, uranium, and miners, while warning that an unexpected dollar bounce or a rise in long-term yields could trigger a sharp pullback before the next leg up.

The "Emperor Dollar" Has No Clothes | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco argues that gold and silver’s breakout reflects a larger loss of confidence in fiat money, rising sovereign yields, and accelerating dedollarization. He thinks the move could extend much further over the next few months, especially if markets lose confidence in the Fed or if gold is formally revalued.

Fiscal Dominance Driving Gold To All-Time Highs | Lyn Alden

Preview:Lyn Alden argues that the U.S. has moved from a monetary-dominance regime to fiscal dominance, where large federal deficits and debt-service costs now shape the macro backdrop more than bank lending. In that environment, higher rates can suppress some activity but also worsen the fiscal deficit, making the Fed’s tools increasingly blunt and helping explain why gold, Bitcoin, and other scarce assets have held up despite tighter policy.

Silver Breaks $41, Gold Hits All-Time Highs Past $3550 - What's Next? | Craig Hemke

Preview:Craig Hemke argues the gold and silver breakouts are being driven by fiat debasement, not metals becoming “more expensive,” and he sees the move as still early. He thinks rising bond yields, debt pressure, and eventual yield curve control/extra Fed balance-sheet support could be very bullish for precious metals, while silver may need to consolidate before a later push toward and through its old highs.

$40 Silver Signals Severe Collapse In Confidence | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver is in the early stage of a major breakout, with gold, miners, and the gold/silver spread confirming a broad precious-metals regime shift. He thinks the move is not just a trade but a sign of deeper monetary stress that could eventually challenge the Fed, government money, and other crowded financial assets.

Silver's Time Has Come - $100 Silver Likely | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich, founder of Peter Grandich and Company, presents a starkly bearish near-term view on US equities while pivoting to an exceptionally bullish stance on precious metals — particularly silver, which he now believes could reach triple digits. He also discusses bond market warning signals, the precarious state of the middle class, and the spiritual dimension of current global tensions.

Gold Revaluation, Banking Collapse & the Endgame Ahead | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues that gold is the true money and the dollar is merely a derivative. He sees two paths to a gold revaluation: a statutory one (like 1933) or a market-driven one (like 1980), with the latter being more likely. He calculates that gold would need to reach ~$40,000–$50,000/oz to fully back the Fed's monetary base. With the Fed now cutting into accelerating inflation, Farber believes the currency will be destroyed. He also flags widening gold futures spreads as a crisis precursor — a pattern last seen in 2008 and 2020. The Genius Act and stablecoins are dismissed as just another fragile layer on the debt pyramid that will ultimately require Fed monetization anyway.

Unusual Amount Of Silver Is Likely Leaving COMEX | David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan argues that unusual COMEX silver inflows/outflows are real, not just paper churn, and that they likely reflect tighter physical conditions, arbitrage, and occasional end-user demand for delivery. He then broadens into a monetary- and liberty-focused thesis: fiat money debases savings, expands control, and the growing push toward tokenized/stablecoin rails could preserve that control even without an overt CBDC.

Dollar Meltdown Ahead - Be Ready For Worst Case Scenario | Gregory Mannarino

Preview:Gregory Mannarino delivers a maximalist doom thesis: the US is in a deliberate death spiral driven by debt expansion, artificially suppressed rates, currency debasement, and a corporate-government merger under Trump. He argues the GENIUS Act stablecoin framework is a backdoor CBDC via privatization, the Fed is in full yield-curve control, and the debt market will be the final signal. His only constructive advice: own physical silver, exit commercial banks, bet against the system, and speak out. The interview is light on tradable levels or timing — it is a directional, all-encompassing collapse narrative.

Insiders Flooding Into Gold As Fed Signals Pivot | Andy Schectman

Preview:Andy Schectman argues the Fed is effectively abandoning its 2% inflation target, setting up lower rates, higher inflation, and continued asset-price inflation that will favor wealthy asset holders over the public. He says the most important signal is not retail enthusiasm but insider behavior: heavy COMEX deliveries, sovereign accumulation of precious metals, and big-money selling of equities while moving into commodities, especially gold and silver.

"Cutting Rates Here Is Stupid" - Massive Inflation Ahead | Todd "Bubba" Horwitz

Preview:Todd “Bubba” Horwitz argues the post-Jackson Hole rally is mostly a short squeeze and a thin-liquidity move, not a healthy breakout. He says cutting rates would mainly help banks, worsen inflation, and do little for consumers; he remains short-term cautious, long-term bullish on gold, and expects silver to outpace gold.

Tokenized Everything: How Elite Will Confiscate Hard Assets | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues gold and silver are still long-term bull markets but may see a tactical pullback or sideways/down phase after an overextended surge. He frames the broader backdrop as debt stress, currency debasement, and a coming push toward asset tokenization, registration, and tighter state control that would hurt the middle class while enriching large asset holders.

Exposed: Silver's True Scarcity & What It Means For Future Prices | Peter Krauth

Preview:Peter Krauth (Silver Stock Investor) discusses the silver market with Liberty and Finance host Elijah K. Johnson. Krauth explains that silver is in a multi-year structural deficit (~15-20% annual shortfall), with above-ground inventories down ~70% over four years. He expects $40 silver by end of 2025 (already touched), possibly $45 on black/gray swans, and the $50 all-time high in 2026. He argues the gold-silver ratio makes silver extremely cheap, and that industrial demand (solar, AI, electrification) is being underestimated. The consolidation around $37 is healthy, and he'd welcome a further small correction.

Bitcoin Crash Will Lead To Financial Panic | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues that silver, gold, and miners are being re-rated while the stock market is forming a dangerous topping pattern. He expects silver to move toward $60-$70 by year-end, says Bitcoin is a speculative bubble that could crack sharply below 110,000, and thinks a stock-market break would accelerate flows into monetary metals.

US Dollar Must Lose Reserve Currency Status | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers challenges the sacred cow that US dollar reserve currency status is an unmitigated blessing. He argues it has become an "exorbitant curse" — enabling runaway government spending, hollowing out industry, and forcing massive trade deficits that hemorrhage national wealth. He notes China deliberately avoids reserve status, and that strong economies like Germany and Japan thrive without it. On precious metals, he is extremely bullish on platinum and palladium (only 200 tons mined annually each, critical for AI-driven energy demand and pollution remediation, no substitutes). On gold, he sees the current consolidation as a pause before a move to $4,500, driven by rising global tensions.

Silver's Move Will Be Shocking & Scare Even Stackers | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues that gold’s current consolidation is likely ending and that a new leg higher could begin once the remaining liquidity from 2020/2021 fully runs out. He also warns that a repo or margin-market stress event could cause a very short but sharp selloff in metals and stocks before the Fed responds and reflates the move.

Market Trend Change: $4100 Gold & Financial Reset | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com sees a trend change underway: the stock market (especially NASDAQ) is rolling over, and he expects gold to shoot higher in a pattern reminiscent of 2007-2008. He presents technical charts showing gold in a bull flag targeting $3,720 then $4,100, while the NASDAQ's trend reversal and sentiment indicator have turned deeply red. He favors physical gold and large-cap gold miners (GDX) over silver, platinum, or juniors. His core warning: any pullback could be the start of a major financial reset, and investors need a game plan to avoid being wiped out.

$4000 Gold & $75 Silver By Year End? | David Hunter

Preview:David Hunter argues the rally in equities and precious metals still has more upside before a late-cycle blowoff, while warning that a much larger global bust likely follows. He keeps very bullish near-term targets on the S&P 500, gold, silver, and miners, but frames them as part of a final parabolic leg rather than a durable forever trend.

Fiat Currency Corrupts Society - Here's The Solution | David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan discusses precious metals in a summer consolidation phase, expecting gold, silver, platinum, and palladium to trade sideways for at least a couple more months. He frames this as healthy base-building within a larger bull market, not a trend reversal. The conversation shifts to a philosophical critique of fiat currency as systemic dishonesty that corrupts society, and an argument for measuring true value in gold terms rather than nominal dollar prices. He also touches on platinum's supply tightness and his forthcoming Silver Sunrise documentary.

China's Chokehold On The US Is Loosening | Doomberg

Preview:Doomberg discusses China's strategic dominance in rare earth processing, arguing China deliberately degraded its environment to gain monopoly positions. He praises the Trump administration's MP Materials deal as a smart, taxpayer-friendly intervention. The conversation expands to China's coal-based industrial supremacy, Russia's formidable nuclear and Arctic capabilities, and the 50-day Ukraine ultimatum as a bluff. On tariffs, Doomberg sees Trump's 15% baseline as an actual accomplishment despite being unconstitutional. The interview closes with a tribute to Hulk Hogan, whose death was announced during recording.

What's Next For Silver? | Don Durett

Preview:Don Durrett sees silver as deeply undervalued with a legitimate all-time high of $88 (based on a 40:1 gold-silver ratio from 1980, excluding the Hunt brothers spike). He believes silver is "playing catch-up" to gold and expects a near-term stock market correction that will temporarily pull silver down to $34-$35 before a massive run to $88+. His longer-term targets are $125-$150 silver and $5,000-$8,000 gold, driven by a recession, weak economy, tariffs, and silver becoming a "monetary metal" during a fear trade.

Market SHOCK Ahead - Here's What You Need To Know | David Woo

Preview:David Woo argues markets are dangerously complacent about the August 1 tariff deadline. He believes Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" locks in fiscal deficits that force him to collect tariff revenue, while foreign counterparts now coordinate against him. Woo is short NASDAQ 100 and long gold (via EUR cross), expecting a market shock reminiscent of early 2022.

$15,000 Gold Revaluation? Silver Would Go Through The Roof | Thompson & Hemke

Preview:The guests argue that the recent surge in gold and silver is being driven by a bigger macro shift: a weaker dollar, potential Fed regime change, and rising odds of some form of gold revaluation. Clive Thompson floats $15,000/oz as a plausible revaluation level and says silver would “go through the roof” if gold is reset, while Craig Hempky frames the move as part of a broader loss of confidence in the dollar and the U.S.-led monetary system.

Silver Testing $40 & Gold Races Higher | Greg Weldon

Preview:Greg Weldon argues that US consumers are under severe credit strain, the labor market is weakening beneath the headline data, and the Fed is behind the curve. His bigger market conclusion is that a weaker dollar, rising global debt, and deteriorating trust in fiat systems make gold, silver, miners, and related commodities more attractive than passive equity exposure.

Bullion Banks Short As Silver Surges | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco argues that silver’s recent breakout is technically significant and may be signaling broader financial stress, while also saying bullion banks and swap dealers are still short and fighting the move. He expects higher silver prices soon, sees tight physical supply in London, and says rising long-end government bond yields in Japan, the U.S., and the U.K. are the key macro variables to watch.

The Ultimate Silver Squeeze Coming | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich argues that gold and silver remain in a constructive uptrend, with silver potentially setting up for an “ultimate squeeze” if it clears key psychological resistance around 40. He is also wary of Trump’s pressure on the Fed and the trade war, which he thinks will ultimately hurt the U.S. more than the markets are currently pricing.

$39 Silver Breakout - What's Next? | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues silver has entered an acceleration phase after breaking its long-running ascending resistance near $39, and he expects a much faster move over the next several months than investors are used to. He pairs that with a broader bullish call on gold miners and commodity-linked assets, while warning that the stock market is likely in a late-stage top and that a Fed rate cut could be a bearish “tombstone” for equities.

$3000 Gold Changing the Game? CEO Tony Reda on Tectonic’s Big Alaska Bet | Tony Reda

Preview:Tony Reda, CEO of Tectonic Metals, discusses how the $3,000+ gold price is transforming the economics of gold exploration. He argues that majors like Newmont have created a "reserve crisis" by focusing on production ounces, which makes new discoveries in safe jurisdictions increasingly valuable. Tectonic recently raised $13M (on a $25M market cap) following a drill discovery at the Alpha Bowl area of its Flat gold project in Alaska, which sits on historically prolific placer mining ground. Reda emphasizes the team's track record (Kaminak Gold sold for $520M), 100% drill success rate, and indigenous landowner support as risk mitigants in the speculative exploration space.

$6000 Platinum? How Metals Could Go Crazy In The Coming Crisis | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt presents a highly bullish multi-metal thesis anchored in technical analysis and a structural debasement narrative. Gold is coiling in a continuation pattern targeting $3,700–$3,750. Silver is expected to outperform gold percentage-wise with a $38.28 target. Platinum is framed as the "silent emperor" — having just broken its third multi-decade high, with a conservative 400% target implying ~$6,566 by ~2033 and far more in a larger crisis scenario. He warns that a crisis-liquidation event could temporarily flip the gold-silver ratio higher before the bull trend resumes.

"You Should Be Scared" - It's Time To Be A Cautious Investor | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen of TheTechnicalTraders.com joins Elijah K. Johnson on Liberty and Finance to discuss precious metals, equities, and the dollar. His core thesis: gold and silver are forming bullish bull-flag continuation patterns with upside targets of ~$3,700 (near-term) and ~$4,100 for gold and ~$40.60 for silver, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting all-time highs is sucking money out of metals temporarily but may reverse soon. He is cautious on platinum after its 40% run-up, calling the chart a "running correction" that could end violently. He warns that all-time highs in equities plus hated-dollar sentiment create a contrarian setup for a reversal, and urges investors to have a defense plan.

Market Sell-Off Ahead? | Todd "Bubba" Horwitz

Preview:Todd "Bubba" Horwitz sees equity markets as extremely overbought with low volume signaling a retail-driven rally near a top. He expects a pullback, potentially triggered by tariffs or earnings season. On metals, he's bullish long-term but expects a short-term pullback — gold to ~$3,000, silver could hit $40 by year-end with an outside shot at $50. Platinum has surged ~50% YTD and he remains a long-term believer. He warns the banking system is overleveraged, consumer is struggling, and stagflation is the likely path. Core advice: don't overleverage, buy into weakness, hold physical metals as insurance.

The Stock Market Peaked 25 Years Ago In Real Terms | David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan argues that gold, silver, and platinum have entered the next leg of a major precious-metals bull market, with silver above $37 and gold likely to consolidate before a larger move higher. He also says the dollar is headed lower, Basel 3 is being overstated as a catalyst, and that fiat money and debt expansion erode both economic truth and social freedom.

Trust Lost In Banking System & US Dollar | Dr. Mark Thornton

Preview:Dr. Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute discusses the US-Iran military escalation, framing it as a dangerous, unnecessary entanglement that risks drawing in Russia and China. He argues the narrative that Iran is close to a nuclear weapon is false, citing multi-level inspections. The conversation pivots to economics: Thornton sees the conflict as part of a broader mercantilist battle over monetary control, with the dollar weakening and gold/silver serving as both a danger gauge and a return to real money. He is bullish on silver outperformance, expecting the gold-silver ratio to continue falling due to supply dynamics, retail demand, and dollar weakness.

War Breaks Out; Lockdowns Are Back In Israel | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber argues the Israel-Iran war is creating psychological stress and a soft lockdown in Israel, but he thinks the immediate physical risk is still manageable because of bomb shelters, safe rooms, and prior preparedness. His main market view is bullish on gold and silver, skeptical on U.S. military escalation, and undecided on oil because both supply-shock and regime-change scenarios could dominate.

Will The Silver Breakout Continue? | Lobo Tiggre

Preview:Lobo Tiggre argues that the recent breakout in silver, platinum, and related industrial metals is important but not yet fully explained, and he is watching to see whether it sustains before getting more aggressive. He is constructive on silver, bullish on gold and copper over time, and increasingly positive on uranium because of tight supply and improving nuclear demand, while warning that Trump-related tariff shock and Middle East war risk could still distort the setup.

Gold Is The Financial System's Lie Detector | Matthew Piepenburg

Preview:Matthew Piepenburg argues gold is the financial system's ultimate "lie detector" — its relentless rise exposes decades of monetary dishonesty from Nixon's 1971 gold window closure through modern MMT. He points to a recent ECB report admitting gold could "bring down the European system" because European banks have over $1 trillion in derivative gold exposure they cannot settle. The core thesis: sovereign debt is terminal, paper money is being destroyed, and gold is transitioning from a hedge to the center of the emerging monetary system.

Expect $60-$70 Silver In 3-5 Months | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues that silver has already broken out of a year-long consolidation and is likely headed toward $60-$70 within 3 to 5 months, with the move potentially jolting broader precious-metals sentiment. He also says the U.S. dollar is entering a more serious downside phase, the stock market looks late-cycle and fragile, and silver miners may have significant upside leverage if the metal continues higher.

We're Staring Into A Debt Deflation Abyss | Greg Weldon

Preview:Greg Weldon argues the world has moved from a 40-year disinflation/bond bull market into a debt-driven regime where central banks will keep reflating, making this broadly bearish for the dollar and bullish for gold, silver, platinum, uranium, and commodities. He says the move in precious metals is still early because it is being driven more by central-bank buying, de-dollarization, and tight supply than by speculative froth.

Silver Is Outperforming Gold - What's Next? | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich argues that silver’s recent breakout is real and may lead gold for a while, with gold and mining shares also still in a bullish uptrend. He ties the precious-metals move to central-bank gold buying, BRICS/dollarization tensions, U.S. debt stress, weak and unreliable economic data, and a general loss of trust in official narratives. The second half of the interview shifts into a faith-and-finance reflection: he says living “in the truth” means skepticism toward government data, debt, consumerism, and secular ideology, and he frames gold ownership and Christian faith as parallel ways of grounding oneself in what is real.

The Last Silver Bull Market Before The Reset | Clive Thompson

Preview:Clive Thompson argues silver has broken into a new phase of the bull market and may keep rising until the monetary system itself changes. He is constructive on gold and platinum too, but silver is the clearest near-term momentum trade in his view.

Silver Breaks Out To 13-Year High | Steve Penny

Preview:Steve Penny argues silver is in the early phase of a larger uptrend after breaking above key resistance around $35.50, with platinum also breaking out and gold already extended. He favors swapping into silver and platinum on relative-value grounds, expects gold to consolidate rather than surge much further near term, and says the big structural bull case still points much higher over the decade.

We're On The Steps Of WW3 | Doomberg

Preview:Doomberg argues the world is at an extremely dangerous geopolitical inflection point, with the Ukraine-Russia conflict having escalated into a hot war that could spiral toward nuclear confrontation. He says the West is dramatically underreacting to the attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bombers, that Trump now “owns” the war politically, and that the only durable off-ramp is direct negotiation with Russia over core security concerns. Separately, he sees civilian nuclear energy as gaining broad momentum and gold as benefiting mainly from sanctions-driven de-dollarization rather than from a near-term nuclear-war premium.

Silver Could Double In Months | Michael Oliver

Preview:Michael Oliver argues that the real driver behind gold and silver is not the latest U.S.-China trade tension but a broader monetary and sovereign debt crisis, with the long-end Treasury market, the dollar, and commercial real estate all flashing stress. His key tactical call is that silver is at or near a breakout zone around $35, and if it clears that area convincingly he thinks it could almost double in about one quarter, while gold and miners also appear poised to strengthen.

Turbulent Times Ahead As US Dollar Gets Ditched | Mario Innecco

Preview:Mario Innecco argues that gold is still early in a secular revaluation, driven by global de-dollarization, central-bank buying, and only modest participation from institutions and the public. He also warns that U.S. Treasury demand is weakening, the bond bull market is likely over, and Japan’s yen carry trade could become a global contagion risk.

Confidence Is Breaking Down In US Bond Market | David Morgan

Preview:David Morgan discusses Florida's new gold/silver legal tender law — flawed by language excluding government-minted coins — explains why gold/silver money remains largely symbolic without practical spending infrastructure, and delivers a detailed warning on cracks in the US Treasury bond market, arguing confidence is breaking down and a currency crisis may be closer than most realize.

How Gold Benefits From The Debt Collapse | Francis Hunt

Preview:Francis Hunt argues that the global long-duration debt market has lost credibility, forcing a regime where debt devalues first and currency follows, with gold as the main beneficiary. He frames the setup as a broad sovereign debt collapse, not a U.S.-only issue, and says the banking system, housing affordability, and reserve-asset status of Treasuries are all under pressure.

Gold Market Volatility Will Increase Into The Endgame | Rafi Farber

Preview:Rafi Farber discusses gold market volatility, the ECB's concern over gold market leverage, and his view that gold "manipulation" is a natural consequence of the fiat system rather than a conscious conspiracy. He sees Basel 3 increasing daily gold price swings, weakening global sovereign bond markets signaling endgame pressure, and Moody's US debt downgrade as politically motivated. His core thesis: the dollar is a derivative of gold, the system is unwinding, and stackers should prepare for an eventual collapse where gold stops trading.

ECB Warns Gold Market Could Disrupt Financial System | Craig Hemke

Preview:Craig Hemke of TF Metals Report discusses a recent ECB economist note warning about counterparty risk in gold derivatives markets, arguing the paper validates long-standing concerns about fractional-reserve precious metals trading. He forecasts gold reaching new all-time highs in the next 60 days (potentially $3,700–$3,800), driven by declining physical supply, central bank buying, and dollar weakness. He sees silver breaking out from its $32–$34 range toward $35–$39 once momentum triggers kick in, though an annual-chart breakout is likely needed for retail/institutional capitulation.

Gold/Silver Ratio Signaling Rapid Reversal & Recession Coming | Dr. Mark Thornton

Preview:Mark Thornton argues that the gold/silver ratio near 100 is historically extreme and likely signaling recessionary slowdown rather than a new permanent norm. He expects recession, weaker equities, Fed rate cuts, and eventually a sharp reversal in the ratio as silver catches up, while also warning that the bigger U.S. debt/dollar problem points toward continuing inflation pressure and long-run monetary instability.

Wall Street Is Completely Ignoring Silver's Potential | Don Durrett

Preview:Don Durrett argues that the US is entering a fragile macro phase marked by rising tariffs, persistent deficits, weak bond-market confidence, and eventual recession, with gold, silver, and miners as the main beneficiaries. His core call is that gold can reach $5,000 and silver $100 over the next two to three years, while Wall Street is still underestimating the upside.

Will Trump Return To A Gold Standard? | John Rubino

Preview:John Rubino discusses Trump's second term as fundamentally different from his first, with aggressive global deal-making that could stabilize trade. He sees a debt-driven financial crisis as "baked in the cake" and argues a currency reset is inevitable — possibly even a return to a gold standard. On gold, he sees consolidation between $3,000–$3,400 as likely near-term but maintains a long-term bull case driven by currency debasement. He highlights M&A activity in the mining sector, touches on AGI as a wild card, and advocates a "reluctant prepper" approach: own precious metals, buy quality miners, improve health, and build community resilience.

Blatant Stock Market Manipulation Can't Continue Forever | Clem Chambers

Preview:Clem Chambers argues that US stock markets are now manipulated by government intervention — specifically Treasury liquidity injections — rather than functioning as free markets. He points to the unprecedented V-shaped recovery from tariff-induced crash as evidence of a "Treasury put," and positions himself defensively in precious metals with minimal equity exposure. He sees a 60/40 probability favoring a long-term bear market but acknowledges the uncertainty created by deliberate policy unpredictability.

Insiders Are Dumping Stocks; Get Ready For Market Meltdown | Chris Vermeulen

Preview:Chris Vermeulen warns the stock market rally is a dead-cat bounce driven by retail FOMO while institutions distribute into strength. He sees a stage-4 financial reset within 1-3 months that will pull gold down ~34% and silver to the low $20s, creating a generational buying opportunity. He's raised cash, expects the dollar to rally, and advises capital preservation over new longs.

US Bankruptcy Will Alarm The Public | Peter Grandich

Preview:Peter Grandich argues the recent stock rebound is likely a countertrend rally rather than a durable new bull leg, while gold’s long-term thesis remains intact and silver may now deserve a similar role. He frames the real macro risk as persistent debt, weaker purchasing power, and a future U.S. interest-payment problem that could alarm the public.

Silver's Move Will Shock Investors | Michael Oliver
