Maybe you should invest like a dead man. Sounds crazy, right? But studies have shown accounts belonging to dead people often outperform those that are actively managed.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey makes sense out of this phenomenon and explains why it's particularly valuable to understand during a war. He also highlights how the ongoing conflict with Iran is causing logistical disruptions to the precious metals markets, and speculates how the war could impact gold and silver prices down the road.

The U.S. has launched a war against Iran. What does that mean for gold and silver? Of course, war, but its very nature, is unpredictable. But we do have plenty of past wars we can look at to establish historical trends. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey does just that, looking at the trajectory of the gold price during past wars. He finds that war itself has not had the significant impact on gold prices one might expect. There are other dynamics we need to consider. In this episode, Mike also reminds listeners why they should take precious metals investment advice from the majority of mainstream financial planners or talking heads on the major networks.

We all know that the sequel is rarely as good as the original. And when the original was bad... Mike Maharrey has argued that current dynamics in the markets and the economy look a lot like they did in the years just before the 2008 financial crisis.  He's not alone.  JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently made the same argument.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo, Mike highlights the parallels between then and now in light of Dimon's analysis. He also covers the current dynamics in the platinum market.

"Money is Money, and Paper is Paper. All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise." With that line, Thomas Paine opened a devastating critique of paper money, clearly demonstrating that gold and silver are far superior. Unfortunately, the powers that be didn't listen to Paine. And neither did the investment world, because it's managed to turn the market for gold and silver into its own paper markets.  It's not exactly the same as fiat money, but the impacts are similar. We're seeing this manifest in the silver market today.  In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey delves into the battle now raging between the paper silver futures market and the physical silver market and how it is driving the price. He also explains why he thinks the physical market will ultimately prevail.  In this episode, Mike also gives a quick overview of the recent CPI report and tells you why you might consider taking investment advice from a 10-year-old.

He also touches on the Super Bowl, revealing just how much more valuable the silver Lombardi Trophy is this year compared to last.
