Risk-Off Rotation: Tech & Crypto Decline, Gold & Silver Shine

Wild week for precious metals: despite violent intraday swings, gold still closed up ~2.2% around $4,080 and silver up ~4.7% above $50—with silver briefly tagging $54+ overnight.

Peter Schiff: Please Keep the Government Closed

On Wednesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter lays out why recent market headlines—everything from the government shutdown to the wobble in crypto—point back to one theme: more easy money and bad policy.

The Paradox of Mamdani’s Paradise

World Gold Council: ETF Tsunami Lifts U.S. Gold Demand 58% 

Gold’s third-quarter scorecard shows a tale of two markets. Overall U.S. demand leapt 58% year-over-year to 186 metric tons, the largest Q3 tonnage in more than a decade.

Peter recently Ed Siddell on The Retirement Trainer podcast to walk listeners through how capital flows, political promises, and central bank policy shape the dollar — and why none of it bodes well for the unprepared saver.

The Lobbying Paradox: How Free Speech Can Undermine Economic Freedom

Lobbying is blamed for a multitude of evils by people from every area of the political spectrum.

This seems like a non-statement, but the normalization of lobbying as it is currently done has greatly damaged both America’s institutions […]
