Schiff on The Competent Investor: Even Greenspan Agrees with Me

Earlier this week, Peter appeared on The Competent Investor podcast with host Tom Bodrovics. They focus on last week’s metal sell-off, and Peter explains why investors still misunderstand precious metals and the miners that produce them. Throughout, he argues that sound money remains the sane hedge in a world of inflationary policy and fragile crypto […]

Peter Schiff: More Tariffs Mean Less Affordability

In his Wednesday podcast, Peter walks listeners through the frantic moves in precious metals, the unraveling Bitcoin narrative, and recent weak jobs data. He argues the gold and silver sell-off was a technical flush rather than a change in fundamentals, warns that Bitcoin’s long-promised outperformance has failed, and calls out tariffs and government spin for […]

Gold Shows Strength Even In Drop

The mainstream narrative was that gold had a massive drop and revealed a fundamental weakness that was not accounted for by investors with a high risk appetite as it shot towards $6000 an ounce. Gold did experience a major downward price shift, yet its limited extent proved that gold’s price increases here to stay. Even […]

Peter Schiff: Powell Sends Gold Soaring

Peter took to the mic on Wednesday to walk listeners through a dramatic day in the markets and to explain what it all means for ordinary savers. He focuses on runaway gold and silver prices, a plunging dollar, and what he sees as a Federal Reserve that refuses to face the monetary signals staring it […]

Schiff on Auctus Edge: The Dollar’s End Means a Gold Rush

Last week, Peter joined Patrick Vierra on The Auctus Edge to lay out how the era of cheap credit and easy living is ending and why that shift is driving gold and silver. He connects rising global yields, renewed quantitative easing (QE), and the political risks that follow a collapsing dollar to explain why sound […]

Elevated Silver Delivery Volume Has Metal Leaving Comex Vaults

You can find more detail on the CME here (e.g., vault types, major/minor months, delivery explanation, historical data, etc.). The data below looks at […]

Metals Tell the Truth About the Economy

Gold and silver are sniffing out the inflationary regime. Rising together, even after pullbacks, the historic run in precious metals is part of a desperate SOS signal for the economy. The Fed isn’t the only one printing money. Trump is floating plans for 50-year mortgages and payments for veterans, seeking any justification for “stimulus” that […]

New Gold-ETF Data: Record Inflows Fuel Metal’s Best Year Since 1979

Gold closed out 2025 in runaway mode, notching fresh all-time highs on 53 trading days and sprinting to an intraday peak of $4,514 per ounce on the year’s final Friday. The blistering rally ignited a historic rush into physically backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which absorbed a record $89 billion and more than doubled global assets […]

Schiff on Coindesk: Gold Ain’t Broke. Don’t Fix It.

Last week, Peter joined Jennifer Sanasie on the CoinDesk YouTube channel to push back against the crypto crowd and explain why he thinks gold—not Bitcoin—will be the long-term safe haven. He walks through how gold’s breakout in 2024 carried into 2025, why central banks are buying bullion, and what true sound money really means in […]

Will the Silver Boom Raise the Price of Tech?

Silver is booming. So, is Elon Musk right that the industrial need for silver will reveal that recent price action is only a bubble?  Or will the rise continue, raising the price of technology in the process? One of the downstream effects of higher silver prices could certainly be higher prices for other goods that […]
