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

In 1980, it was the Hunt brothers’ attempt to corner the market that drove silver close to fifty dollars. In 2011, it was […]
