Kevin Hower, aka "Tattoo," appears as a recurring co-host on Miles Franklin Media’s live Q&A streams. In the transcripts he comes across as a personable, conversational market commentator who helps steer discussion, reacts to Andy Schectman’s points, and occasionally adds examples from client calls, trading activity, or audience questions. His role is more facilitative and discussion-driven than deeply technical; he reinforces the show’s themes and asks practical follow-up questions. Evidence is mostly limited to this media context, so a broader biography is not well established here.
Hower’s recurring economic worldview, as reflected in these transcripts, aligns strongly with Miles Franklin’s sound-money, precious-metals-first framing. He treats gold and especially silver as monetary assets and indicators of systemic stress, and he repeatedly emphasizes physical metal, delivery demand, liquidity strain, backwardation, margin hikes, and central-bank or institutional buying as the real drivers of price. He is skeptical of paper-market price discovery, futures-market mechanics, and the idea that mainstream financial narratives explain precious-metals moves well. The overall vision is one of monetary debasement, fragile market structure, and the need to hold hard assets rather than rely on fiat currencies or leveraged paper claims. The evidence suggests this is a consistent worldview, though most of the detailed macro argumentation comes through in tandem with Andy Schectman.

Preview:A three-person live Q&A from Miles Franklin Media argues that gold and silver are being repriced by physical demand, distrust in fiat systems, and a possible policy shift tied to gold-linked Treasury instruments. The speakers also emphasize COMEX delivery surges, persistent central-bank buying, and the idea that AI/space/data-center growth should be silver-positive.
Preview:A Miles Franklin Q&A centered on precious metals, especially gold and silver, with repeated emphasis that official and mainstream data understate real demand. The speakers argued that central banks are buying far more gold than reported, that the bond market is becoming unstable, and that gold/silver are being accumulated by the smartest money while retail remains distracted by equities and ETFs.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin Hower argue that silver’s 7% move was a meaningful breakout signal, not a routine metals move, and tie it to tight physical supply, heavy Chinese imports, COMEX outflows, and a weakening dollar. The discussion also broadens into de-dollarization, resource accumulation by China and Gulf states, and extreme equity-market concentration.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A focused on precious metals, de-dollarization, OPEC/UAE, and physical silver/eagles logistics rather than broad market coverage.
Preview:Miles Franklin’s Andy Schectman argues that silver and gold remain in a structurally fragile paper market, with physical demand and geopolitical de-dollarization supporting much higher prices over time. The discussion centers on COMEX delivery stress, China and India accumulating metal, distrust of ETFs and Treasuries, and the idea that the global monetary system is drifting toward gold-backed settlement and digital surveillance.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A argues the metals selloff is a tactical reset, not a thesis break. Andy Shectman and Kevin Hower say inflated leverage, margin changes, and paper-market mechanics drove the decline while physical demand, deliveries, and non-Western accumulation remain strong.
Preview:Kevin Howser and Andrew Sheman argue that recent silver volatility was driven by CME margin hikes that forced out speculators, while large physical deliveries into and out of COMEX and growing central-bank/sovereign demand signal a deeper squeeze in physical metal. They remain bullish on gold and silver as monetary assets, but strongly prefer physical ownership and are skeptical of paper vehicles like SLV.
Preview:Miles Franklin’s Kevin Hower (“Tattoo”) and Andy Schectman argue that silver is in a historic repricing, not a temporary blowoff, and that physical shortages, backwardation, lease-rate stress, and large COMEX deliveries are overwhelming paper-market suppression. They also field many questions about the gold-silver ratio, silver-to-gold swaps, mint pricing, delivery delays, storage, and whether to move into gold or hold physical silver.
Preview:This was a celebratory Miles Franklin live Q&A marking 100,000 YouTube subscribers, but it quickly became a strong promotional discussion about silver, gold, de-dollarization, and Fed independence. The speakers argued that silver’s move is a repricing driven by tight physical supply, record COMEX deliveries, and geopolitical/monetary stress, while repeatedly cautioning that short-term pullbacks could still be violent.
Preview:The video is a live Q&A between Miles Franklin’s Kevin and Andy Scheckman centered on silver’s explosive price action, record delivery demand, and growing signs of physical tightness. Their core view is that the recent pullback was a margin-driven shakeout, not a trend break, and that silver’s rally is being supported by Asian physical demand, delivery stress, and a loss of trust in paper markets.
Preview:Live Q&A on Miles Franklin Media centered on silver, gold, inflation, and monetary-system shifts. Andy Schectman and Kevin Hower argued silver is in a new phase of demand driven by industrial use, strategic stockpiling, delivery stress, and geopolitical competition, while Michelle McCory pressed on the risk of AI misinformation, surveillance, and tokenization. The panel also discussed Fed easing, stealth QE, possible gold revaluation, and how precious metals may be moving back into a more explicit monetary role.
Preview:This is a conversational Q&A focused on gold and silver, with Andrew Schectman and Kevin Houser arguing that silver is in a structural squeeze and that the current paper pricing system is increasingly disconnected from physical reality. They frame recent delivery demand, government critical-mineral policy, solar/AI demand, and bank behavior as evidence that metals are moving into a new regime. The discussion also spends meaningful time on Fed easing, inflation debasement, storage, IRAs, and why they dislike paper vehicles like SLV and GLD.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin Hower argue silver’s breakout, along with persistent COMEX delivery demand and supply stress, signals a major re-pricing rather than a routine spike. They frame the move as part of a broader loss-of-trust theme across institutions, fiat money, and Western market plumbing, while repeatedly warning that pullbacks will still happen.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin "Tattoo" Houser of Miles Franklin discuss acute stress in the silver market (26¢ backwardation near futures delivery), the Fed injecting $125B into repo markets over five days as a trust crisis rather than a liquidity problem, China's silver export restrictions, and Italy's gold declaration tax. They field viewer questions on stacking strategy, platinum, the gold-silver ratio trade, and PSLV vs. physical. The tone is bullish precious metals with an emphasis on physical ownership over paper proxies.
Preview:Kevin Hauser ("Tattoo") and Andy Schectman argue that gold and silver remain in a strong secular bull market despite a recent pullback. Their focus is on strategic-mineral policy, central-bank and sovereign buying, supply tightness, and the view that dips should be treated as accumulation opportunities rather than exits.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin Hower argue that the recent selloff in gold and silver was a deliberate paper-market flush rather than a simple profit-taking event, and they frame it as a battle between futures-market suppression and physical demand. They also stress that liquidity stress, a firmer dollar, and strains in banks, repo, CRE, and private credit are part of the broader backdrop, while physical shortages, backwardation, and record delivery interest suggest the metals thesis remains intact.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A centered almost entirely on the bullish case for gold and silver, with the speakers arguing that the recent silver pullback was normal and that the larger setup is still extremely tight. They emphasize backwardation, high lease/borrow rates, COMEX/LBMA stress, Indian demand, shrinking retail supply, and rising mainstream institutional allocations as reasons metal prices could keep moving higher.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A from Aruba centered on an acute silver squeeze: the hosts say silver is in backwardation, physical delivery is strained, inventories are tight, and premiums are rising fast. They argue the paper market is being pressured by a shortage of deliverable metal, while gold and miners are also strong. The tone is part market commentary, part sales conversation, with several direct product/inventory and IRA-transfer pitches.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin "Tattoo" House of Miles Franklin discuss the ongoing gold and silver bull market, framing it as still in the very early innings. They highlight major institutional shifts — Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Jefferies, and Jeffrey Gundlach all now recommending substantial gold allocations — alongside the Tether/stablecoin thesis as a structural demand driver for Treasuries, gold, and Bitcoin. Silver at $47 is discussed via a 45-year cup-and-handle pattern targeting $96+, with the gold-silver ratio at ~85:1 seen as an anomaly that will revert. The tone is exuberant but grounded in specific catalysts and institutional signals.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A centered almost entirely on gold and silver as monetary assets in a weakening economy, with the speakers arguing that the Fed’s expected rate cuts are not stimulus but a recession/stagflation signal. They also spend substantial time on silver market plumbing—London lease rates, delivery stress, low free float, and large physical flows—while contrasting physical metal with overpriced or illiquid retail products sold by dubious competitors.
Preview:Kevin Hower and Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin host a live Q&A covering gold's rally to all-time highs (~$3,650), silver's undervaluation, COMEX delivery anomalies, and a macro thesis of dollar devaluation. They discuss staggering job data revisions, central bank buying, the potential for gold at $4,000–$5,000+, and the contrarian setup of retail all-in on equities while smart money accumulates physical metal. The episode opens with a somber tribute to Charlie Kirk after his shooting.
Preview:A Miles Franklin Media live Q&A focused almost entirely on precious metals, especially silver and gold. The hosts argued that silver’s breakout above $40 and gold’s strength near all-time highs reflect real physical demand, a weakening dollar, and a broader loss of confidence in U.S. assets and Treasuries. They also tied the move to global de-dollarization, India/Russia/China alignment, and the possibility of much higher future gold revaluation.
Preview:A long Miles Franklin Media live Q&A centered on precious metals, especially gold, silver, platinum, and the implications of tariffs, central-bank buying, COMEX/LBMA delivery stress, and potential gold revaluation. The speakers repeatedly argue that physical metal, not paper claims or digital wrappers, is the safer store of value, while also making a broad macro case that a weaker dollar, lower long rates, and some form of gold revaluation could help the U.S. address debt and revive manufacturing.
Preview:A Miles Franklin Media live Q&A centered on Andy Schectman’s bullish case for gold, silver, and a broader monetary reset. The core message was that rising physical delivery demand, falling confidence in the dollar, BRICS payment infrastructure, and stablecoin/Treasury developments all point toward a system where gold increasingly anchors the long end of the financial system while the dollar is devalued.
Preview:A casual Miles Franklin live Q&A focused on gold, silver, platinum, and the monetary plumbing around stablecoins, Treasuries, and BRICS-linked payment systems. The hosts argue that metals are tightening, the dollar is likely to weaken, and a gold revaluation could become the policy mechanism that supports lower rates and U.S. reshoring.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A focused overwhelmingly on precious metals, especially silver and platinum, with the hosts arguing that the recent move is real rather than a fakeout. They frame gold as taking a breather after a strong run, while silver is described as the more explosive setup and platinum as a still-underowned market with tight physical supply. The conversation also touches on BRICS gold settlement, COMEX deliveries, Basel III, possible U.S. gold monetization, and a long discussion of legal/tax/reporting rules around precious metals ownership and transport.
Preview:This is a Miles Franklin Media live Q&A centered on precious metals, especially gold, silver, platinum, and the dealer side of the market. The speakers argue that metals remain structurally undervalued, that recent strength in platinum and the persistence of gold demand reflect tight physical supply and heavy short positioning, and that the macro backdrop of rising sovereign debt stress, Treasury distrust, and a weakening yen carry trade is supportive for hard assets.
Preview:Andy Schectman and Kevin of Miles Franklin dedicate this episode to exposing predatory pricing in precious metals IRAs, detailing how certain dealers sell overpriced, illiquid coins (quarter-ounce gold, 1.25-oz silver) at 40–60% above melt value, eroding client principal overnight. They provide red flags for spotting dubious dealers, explain the mechanics of melt vs. premium, and advocate for segregated storage and sovereign bullion. The conversation also covers macro themes including de-dollarization, the Shanghai Gold Exchange's Saudi warehouse, COMEX delivery stress, and the case for gold/silver as the investable asset class remains historically underweight.
Preview:This is a live Miles Franklin Q&A focused on precious metals ownership, taxes, product choice, and why silver/miners have lagged despite a bullish long-term setup. The speakers argue for physical metal, prefer coins and segregated storage over large bars, and make a strong macro case that the financial system is fragile, rates are trapped, and gold/silver are being slowly reintegrated into a changing monetary order.
Preview:A Miles Franklin live Q&A centered on the ongoing surge in gold and silver, with the hosts arguing that gold is being “reintegrated” into the monetary system and that silver remains deeply undervalued. Much of the discussion tied higher metal prices to dollar weakness, Treasury refinancing stress, Basel III, central-bank buying, BRICS de-dollarization, and persistent paper-metal distortion in London/COMEX. The tone was strongly bullish on physical metals, especially silver and mining shares, while warning that volatility and bad IRA dealers remain major risks.
Preview:A solo monologue/Q&A from a precious metals dealer who argues that unprecedented COMEX gold deliveries, LBMA delays, GLD outflows, and U.S. shift to net gold importer since the election signal an imminent gold revaluation. He connects Scott Bessent's balance-sheet comments, Judy Shelton's gold-collateralized stablecoin plan, and BRICS de-dollarization to build a thesis that the system is being restructured around gold — and that physical holders and numismatic coins in particular represent a generational opportunity.
