Friday Read: Everything Else Is a Promise
Jan Skoyles and I have been discussing an idea that has shaped much of our recent work, and it is one that grows more relevant as each new crisis unfolds. The modern financial world, for all its complexity, rests on a very simple foundation. Almost every form of wealth today is a promise. Gold and […]
Gold and Silver: The Great Liquidity Squeeze
Gold is recovering after one of its hardest drops in years. At the time of writing, prices are up $62 to about $4,126/oz, while silver has climbed $1.25 to $48.93/oz. Platinum jumped 6.4% in London to $1,646/oz, its biggest move since 2020, as traders rushed to secure physical metal. Oil is also rising. U.S. crude […]
This is REALLY why Central Banks want all the gold
Gold has been experiencing some volatility these last few days. After surging above $4,350 an ounce earlier this week, the metal has since retreated to below $4,150. Silver is now trading closer to $48. Such wide intraday swings are a clear sign that this is not an ordinary market phase but one defined by uncertainty […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
