Money Metals neatly killed two birds with one stone on our customers’ behalf when we recently launched our super-popular Vault Metals program offering fractional interests in 100, 400, and, 1,000-oz commercial bars.

Michael Pento weighs in on the massive increase in the Fed’s balance sheet over the last several months, amounts that make the stimulative response to the Great Recession a decade ago look like chump change.

Investors dumped paper gold and silver along with stocks, commodities, and most other asset classes in March. The price of silver dropped to $12.02/oz on March 18th and gold bottomed at $1,473/oz.

Did you see our recent announcement that Money Metals just added Vault Platinum to our popular Vault Gold, and Vault Silver line-up? Allow us to share the top three reasons happy customers give for why they’re eagerly snapping up positions in our Vault Metals program – advantages previously…

If Americans thought the U.S. Government would be in serious trouble as its ability to service its ballooning debt would become unmanageable, guess again. After the U.S. Government added nearly $3 trillion more debt in just the past eight months (fiscal year), the interest paid on the public debt…

The era of high-grade silver mines may be coming to an end. Remarkably, the top primary silver miners’ average yield fell to the lowest ever in 2019. Which begs the question, will high-grade silver mines become extinct in the not-so-distant future? Well, if we look at the data, it seems to be…

The sudden spike in market volatility yesterday came after the Federal Reserve vowed on Wednesday to keep its benchmark rate near zero through 2022. That’s an unusually long period for the Fed to be projecting rate policy. It reflects the fact that it will take many months and perhaps years for the…

Whether this continues will likely depend on stock prices which have rallied relentlessly since March. Many U.S. investors still assume the equity markets are a good indicator for where the economy is headed. They see the rally as evidence that a V-shaped economic recovery lies just ahead.

When debt rises, so does demand for money. Something happened in silver that is unprecedented: a contract headed into expiry had a rising basis.

Despite a year of tumult on Wall Street and Main Street, the banking system seems to be holding up remarkably well… for now. "Banks are safe," according to FDIC chair Jelena McWilliams. "There are no concerns for depositors." No concerns? We beg to differ.

Coming up David Morgan of The Morgan Report joins me to discuss a range of topics including the recent disruptions in the paper-based precious metals futures markets that cost some major bullion banks to lose their shirts -

There’s still time to contribute to your IRA – and fund it with physical precious metals! If you haven’t maxed out your retirement accounts for 2019, you can still do so through the extended tax filing deadline of July 15th.

Gold prices have been trading within a well-defined $100 range over the past two months. Gold’s chart shows strong support at $1,675/oz and a zone of resistance at $1,750-$1,775.

The current phase of the gold bull market, which started last year, is – we believe – the third and final wave of the secular bull run tracking back to 2001. It's going to create a tidal bore of immense size and power. A wave that those who hold the metal (and silver) can ride as insurance against…

We are reading now about possible regulations for air travel. In brief: passengers might be forced to spend hours at the airport. Authorities will perform medical checks, including possibly needles to draw blood, no lounges, no food or drink on board the plane, masks required at all times, and even…

Over the past decade, these top five countries were the leading silver investors in the world. From 2010 to 2019, citizens in these countries invested over two billion ounces of silver bars and coins. Which country was the largest investor of silver? Actually, I was surprised by the data.

Coming up we’ll hear an interview with Money Metals president Stefan Gleason, who was a featured guest during the recent 360 Gold Summit. Stefan addressed the fundamental question of “why precious metals” and also gave some helpful tips on how to avoid making big mistakes when investing in gold and…

The Federal Reserve has printed trillions of dollars without generating runaway price inflation through the use of a neat trick.

When the results are released, the second-quarter economic data will be the worst on record. With the massive money printing by the U.S. government, public debt has ballooned more than $3 trillion since the lockdown of the domestic economy.

A $10 bill today doesn’t buy as much as it used to. Yes, indeed… the $10 Federal Reserve Note today would only buy a little more than a half-ounce of silver. However, back in 1934, a $10 Silver Certificate would purchase 18.5 ounces of silver. Try doing that today.

Money Metals Exchange has joined with the Sound Money Defense League to offer the Sound Money Scholarship -- the first gold-backed scholarship of the modern era.

As third quarter trading kicks off following a tumultuous first half of the year, investors are hoping for an auspicious July.

What a difference in the gold and silver prices since yesterday, eh? On the last day of trading in June, both gold and silver hit important technical levels. Gold closed at $1,800, and silver closed at $18.64. And, during early Asian trading, both metals were up nicely.

Today we’ll hear part two of that interview. Stefan gives some important warnings to gold and silver investors; discusses why he favors one of the precious metals over the others and also talks about some really important things to consider when selecting a precious metals dealer.

More new people may have made their first purchase of physical gold or silver in the past 4 months than in any four-month period in history. This sort of data isn’t reported and tracked. But if our experience as one of the nation’s largest precious metals dealers is representative, we believe that’s…

Is everyone familiar with the bet between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich? Ehrlich wrote a book titled The Population Bomb. He held a pessimistic view of the future, in which population growth would outstrip resources (essentially the same as Thomas Malthus).

No guest interviews this week, as we’re back to an all-hands-on-deck situation servicing all our Money Metals customers. A new demand spike in recent days harkens back to the pandemonium we saw in the precious metals markets back in March. So, let’s get right into today’s market wrap, because there…

Many retail businesses including grocery stores and fast food restaurants have been wrangling with a national coin shortage. Some are posting notices informing customers that they will need to pay in exact change or use alternative payment methods such as credit cards.

Due to investor fears stemming from the global contagion, demand for Perth Mint silver and gold bullion products surged in April. According to CoinNews.net, the Perth Mint’s gold bullion sales in April were the highest since the website started collecting data in February 2013, while silver bullion…

Most of us know about 20/20 vision, that is perfect vision- seeing something so clearly there is no distortion, nothing but the complete view. It is with this background that this year, my attempt to clarify the picture about silver is my utmost objective. I wish to be crystal clear that anyone that…

It’s no surprise to most investors that the Fed is propping up the stock market. However, if we compare the Dow Jones Index versus the continued unemployment claims, something seriously wrong is going on. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, continued unemployment claims are nearly four times…
