No Solutions, Just Trade-Offs

Silver finally broke above its all-time high. Meanwhile, gold is setting records on what seems like a daily basis. But what is this precious metal rally telling us? There is more to it than central bank demand and investors seeking safe havens. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, Mike Maharrey takes a deep dive into the current dynamics of the silver market and uncovers the underlying factors driving both gold and silver higher - a shaky global fiat money system and a paper market suffering from an acute shortage of metal.

Along the way, he highlights the inflationary impact of government policy and why you need to protect yourself from the inevitable consequences of this monetary malfeasance.

There are only trade-offs.” This perfectly describes why the Fed cut rates last week despite lamenting "somewhat elevated" inflation.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains the trade-offs facing the central bankers, why they made the decision they did, and how it will impact the gold and silver markets.  This week, Mike also shares some of the things he saw on his "field trip" to the Money Metals' offices and bullion depository last week.
