Trump’s Tariffs Just Put the Dollar in Danger – Here’s Why Gold Wins
The press called it “sweeping.” Economists called it “reckless.” Markets called it something unprintable. But former President Trump called it liberation. His latest policy announcement—an all-out trade offensive laced with tariffs up to 50%—may have sounded like more political theatre.

Gold Above $3,000, Is This The New Normal?
Last Thursday, we sat down with renowned analyst Lobo Tiggre to unpack what’s really driving gold and silver — and why this time might actually be different.

Who Really Owns America’s Gold?
Less than a week ago the gold price sailed past $3,000. And there it has held firm. Silver has also made some notable moves. Something has changed and it seems like it could be here to stay. The push to own gold and silver is not just a vote for financial diversification but it is […]
Recession Warning: Jim Rogers on U.S. Debt, Gold & Market Collapse
At the time of writing gold prices have slightly edged higher, supported by another mild U.S. inflation report. Meanwhile, silver prices dipped slightly due to what is most likely a routine corrective pullback after this week’s strong gains. Concerns about inflation easing continue to have minimal effect on gold, as investors still regard the precious […]
The Biggest Threat to the U.S. Dollar Just Happened
It’s World Book Day, and it got me thinking about the books that shaped the way we see the world. For me, Bill Bonner’s Empire of Debt was a turning point—it helped me understand the risks of runaway credit growth and the fragility of modern finance.

Is Trump’s Crypto Reserve a Financial Time Bomb?
On Sunday, Donald Trump made a bold—and highly controversial—announcement: the creation of a U.S. sovereign crypto reserve, backing assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
