The Signal in Gold’s Rally: Lessons from History and Professor Ferguson
This week I listened to a podcast featuring Professor Niall Ferguson, the financial historian whose understanding of the past often sheds light on the present. As ever, it was interesting to hear another perspective on what is happening in markets, particularly from someone with such a deep sense of economic history. Much of what he […]
The Great Flip — Gold’s Quiet Return to Power
Over the past half-century, the world has built a financial architecture on the assumption that trust could replace collateral. Today, that assumption is being tested. Gold above $4,200 and silver beyond $50 do not mark a bubble; they record a change in the world’s balance sheet. In our latest video on GoldCore TV, Jan Skoyles […]
Silver Shortage: The Crisis in London andNew York
Next week, on Tuesday 21st October, we’ll be hosting a live conversation about what record-breaking gold and silver prices really mean. It’s titled “Gold at $4,000, Silver at $50: Peak or Turning Point?” which captures the mood of the moment. Gold has climbed more than 50% in a year and silver has broken through levels not seen for […]
The World Has Started to Reprice Trust
Gold and silver both reached record highs this week, briefly pausing only after crossing thresholds that many investors had once assumed would hold for years. Prices have eased since, but something significant has changed in the collective psychology of markets. The ceiling has gone. What was once a speculative hope has become accepted fact, and […]
Silver Breaks $50, Gold Tops $4,000. Here’s What It Really Means
The past 36 to 48 hours have been extraordinary. Gold has crossed $4,000 an ounce, and now silver has moved beyond $50. It has been record-breaking, reassuring, and unsettling, all at once. We have spoken with many clients who are trying to make sense of what this means. Some are wondering whether they should buy […]
$4000 Gold – This Won’t End Well!
Gold has moved above $4,000 an ounce. For investors, this raises understandable questions. How much higher will it climb? Is it time to take profits? Should you wait for a pullback? Is this the top of the market? In truth, gold’s most recent rise has less to do with excitement and more to do with […]
When Money Becomes a Monument to Itself
The United States Treasury is considering a new one-dollar coin to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The proposal is genuine, although the design remains a draft. Early sketches feature Donald Trump on both sides: his profile beneath the word Liberty on one, and his raised fist with the slogan Fight, Fight, Fight on the other. […]
Security Theatre and the Fragility of Modern Money
When I opened my first bank account, the process was straightforward. A signature, a form of identification, perhaps a conversation with the local manager, and one was welcomed as a customer. Today the same relationship requires considerably more formality. Proof of identity, documented addresses, background checks, and rightly so. Any responsible financial institution must verify […]
Silver at $50: Why the Shortage Could Spark a Historic Breakout
Silver has risen more than sixty percent in 2025. It now sits within touching distance of the fifty dollar level, a price that has acted as resistance for nearly half a century. In 1980, it was the Hunt brothers’ attempt to corner the market that drove silver close to fifty dollars. In 2011, it was […]
