Silver took the gold medal in 2025, more than doubling its price. So, what drove silver to over $80 an ounce last week? In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey takes a deep dive into the dynamics of the silver market, explaining that while there are many factors at play, one fundamental reality underpins it - there isn't enough metal. This dynamic has resulted in a significant silver squeeze, driving prices higher with significant volatility.  In this episode, Mike also offers some advice as you contemplate your New Year's resolutions.

Talk about a Christmas gift! Gold and silver both hit new record highs Christmas week, with gold eclipsing $4,500 and silver above $70.  But are these precious metals in a bubble?

The mainstream financial media buried the lede in its reporting on last week's Fed meeting.  They reported on the rate cut. They sliced and diced the dot plots. They analyzed every syllable coming out of Jerome Powell's mouth. But they barely mentioned the biggest story - the Fed just restarted quantitative easing (QE).  In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people. Hint: it means more inflation.

Some laws were made to be broken! So, has silver cracked the fundamental relationship between price and demand? It appears that way, as silver demand is increasing even as the price skyrockets.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains this apparent break in fundamental laws of supply and demand and explores whether silver is what is known as a Giffen good. If so, it could signal even more explosive upside for the silver price in the months ahead.  Mike also covers the recent resurgence in central bank gold buying. 

Peter Krauth, author of the book The Silver Bull and publisher of the Silver Stock Investor, weighs in on the recent price action in the silver and explains that the physical silver market remains very tight and more.
