Short-Term Politicians, Long-Term Lives: Why Gold Still Matters
In 44 BC, a Roman statesman named Cicero stood before the Senate and lamented a growing malaise in public life. “The budget should be balanced,” he argued. “The treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced… and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.” You can almost hear him in committee […]
$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun
In May 2025, a largely unnoticed update from the Federal Reserve offered a peculiar glimpse into a world that may soon be forced to choose between monetary orthodoxy and outright reinvention. Buried in a 202-page financial accounting manual was a technical procedure on how to monetize gold certificates held by the U.S. Treasury. To the […]
Financial Fragility and the Coming Inflationary Supercycle
The debate over whether central banks have lost control is no longer academic. For Simon Hunt, it is a foregone conclusion. In his recent interview with Dave Russell on GoldCoreTV, the veteran strategist lays out a case that is part data-driven critique, part existential warning. What he outlines is not just a broken economic model, […]
Simon Hunt on Geopolitics in Flux: The BRICS Challenge and America’s Strategic Desperation
If the Cold War was a grand chessboard, today’s geopolitics resemble something closer to a high-stakes game of Jenga: stacked with fragility, disguised as stability. In his recent interview with GoldCore TV, strategist Simon Hunt offers a view of the current global order that is not just provocative, but bracingly contrarian. According to Hunt, we […]
The Art of Prediction, the Folly of Certainty, and the Case for Gold
This week I found myself once again sharpening the pencil, staring into the foggy crystal ball, and submitting forecasts for the Reuters Precious Metals Survey. It’s a peculiar exercise, this act of prediction, especially in the world of gold. The survey invites industry participants to project where the prices of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium […]
Silver’s Signal: Why This Spike Feels Different
Every so often, silver jolts the market out of complacency. It did so in 1980, again in 2011, and now, yet again, in 2025. Prices recently surged to just under $39 per ounce, their highest since 2011. But if we’re to believe this is just a technical rally or meme-driven flash, we may be missing […]
Gold and the Quiet Power of Financial Dissent
Every so often, a new piece of research or a high-profile speech emerges, arguing that gold has somehow lost its long-cherished status as a safe haven. The latest example comes from a paper published in the Global Finance Journal. In this study, the authors present an array of detailed data and analysis, examining gold’s short-term […]
Is Gold Still a Safe Haven Asset? The Debate Reconsidered
Few debates in finance are as persistent as the question of whether gold remains a reliable safe haven. For centuries, it has been regarded as a refuge in times of uncertainty, a store of value against inflation, political upheaval, and currency debasement. However, critics increasingly question its relevance in a financial world dominated by complex […]
Seven Classic Mistakes New Gold Investors Make and How to Avoid Them
Gold is firmly back in the spotlight. Central banks continue to add to their reserves, experienced investors are quietly accumulating it, and headlines fixate on its price movements. But price alone is not the reason to own gold. Gold serves a deeper purpose. It protects against systemic risk, political instability, and monetary mismanagement. It provides […]
