Silver hit a record $121.67 an ounce on Jan. 29, 2026, and was under $50 by late October. Many silver investors say the exchange killed the rally. David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report, says it didn't. He called January a "classic top" and said "there is no parabolic move in recorded history that doesn't end almost as rapidly as it goes up." Morgan said 1980 wa...

By the time it's in the news, it's too late. Short seller Laks Ganapathi, whose new fund Michael Burry advises, says the AI selloff is just the beginning, and the real risk is in the debt, not the stocks. Ganapathi, founder of Unicus Research and Minerva Investment Management, joins Jeremy Szafron to explain what her team found driving across Texas to AI data centers, why a bank is selli...

Ted Oakley of Oxbow Advisors expects interest rate cuts by mid-2027 as the economy slows, and says gold will like that. But after gold jumped more than $100 on the midterm vote, he's cutting gold miners, he's out of silver, he's selling Google and Microsoft, and he's holding about half his clients' money in cash and Treasuries. Oakley, who has managed money through every c...

On a day gold dropped hard, the man who runs the New Orleans Investment Conference says the bull market is far from over. Brien Lundin calls this “another major secular bull market for gold,” and he expects it to be “the biggest and the best” yet, after 45 years of ever-easier money and mounting debt. Speaking with Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron, the Gold Newsletter editor says gold is “the pigg...

Uranium stocks have been sold off alongside AI stocks, but Scott Melbye says the case for uranium doesn’t depend on a single new data center. With 440 reactors running worldwide and 70 more under construction, he sees a 1.7 billion pound deficit over the next 20 years, and he calls the gap between those fundamentals and share prices “an incredible dislocation.” At the New Orleans Investment Confer...

Gold fell back under $4,000 as AI stocks slid, and Adrian Day says that’s the metal doing its job. When markets crack, investors raise cash, and gold is one of the things they always sell. “That’s exactly what you own gold for,” says the chairman and CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management. At the New Orleans Investment Conference, Day tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron he sees strong support near...

The AI boom is carrying the U.S. economy, but Danielle DiMartino Booth says it’s leaving most households behind. By her count, more than 100% of GDP growth is now coming from the AI trade, and without it the economy “looks kind of like an EKG that flat lines.” Families, she says, are spending what they have on rent, healthcare, gas and groceries. The former Dallas Fed adviser, now CEO and chief st...

Frank Giustra has a simple test for giving up on gold: give him “world peace, honest politicians, and benevolent bankers.” The Lionsgate founder, who helped turn a tiny company into Goldcorp when gold sat under $300, tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron at the New Orleans Investment Conference that we’re getting none of the three, and his gold thesis still holds. Giustra says central banks are s...

Gold fell back below $4,000 on Oct. 30, and Robert Quartermain has weathered drops like this before. He started in the business when gold was $140 an ounce, and he says the industry’s discipline means producers are still making money at today’s prices, with costs around $1,600 to $2,000 an ounce. At the New Orleans Investment Conference, the veteran mine builder tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szaf...

Taken as one sector, gold miners would have the cleanest balance sheets in the stock market, says Tavi Costa, yet mining makes up less than 1% of it. The founder and CEO of Azuria Capital calls this pullback “one of the most compelling windows of opportunities” he has seen this cycle, and with gold down about 30% by his count, he thinks “we’re closer to the bottom.” Speaking with Kitco News anchor...

Measured in dollars, America keeps getting richer. Measured in gold, Dominic Frisby says it has been getting poorer for 50 years, with output per person down roughly 57% since 1975 by his math. “If you use gold, it tells the truth, but politicians don’t like the truth,” says the author of The Secret History of Gold. Speaking with Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron at the New Orleans Investment Confe...

Peter Boockvar says the S&P 500 has become "one idea," and that idea is AI. The chief investment officer at OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners and editor of The Boock Report tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron at the New Orleans Investment Conference that investors should be "reassessing their exposure," because the market is "very much riding on one idea." Boockvar...

Lobo Tiggre sold most of his gold and silver stocks early this year and was sitting on more cash this summer than at any point in his career. Now the editor of The Independent Speculator is buying again, and it isn’t gold stocks. He says “the most compelling opportunity is hands down uranium.” At the New Orleans Investment Conference, Tiggre tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron that uranium stoc...

In 1980, Mark Skousen told investors to sell their gold and silver. Now the Chapman University economics professor says the U.S. has entered “an era of permanent inflation,” yet he calls himself one of the few people at the New Orleans Investment Conference “who’s rather cautious” on the metals. Skousen, a former CIA economist and founder of FreedomFest, tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron he’s...

George Gammon puts 10% of what he makes into physical gold and says he never plans to sell it. He also says "set it and forget it" investing is over for your 401(k). The Rebel Capitalist host tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why the world can't quit the dollar, even as Gulf allies ask Washington for dollar swap lines, and why central banks are buying gold to guard against coun...

Harry Dent is selling his own home and owns zero gold. The economist and founder of HS Dent tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why he believes home prices may not recover in our lifetime, why gold could fall back to 2015 levels before its biggest rally ever, and why stocks could drop 54% when the bubble bursts. Dent calls this "the greatest bubble in history," and he says stocks, rea...

Is your pension or annuity exposed to private equity? Former New York Fed insider Christopher Whalen tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron why he’d get that money out if you can, and why he sold his own bank stocks to lean on gold and silver. Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors, former head of research at Kroll Bond Rating Agency and editor of The Institutional Risk Analyst, says private e...

Peter Grandich tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron gold may need one more brief drop under $4,000 to set up the strong bottom it needs, then a run toward record highs in 2028. Gold bugs, he says, won’t like the first part. Grandich, who says he sold his gold before this year’s drop, explains why he changed his mind on a stock market crash in the last three days and why a 10-year Treasury yield...

Inflation hit 3.7% in September, and gold and silver fell anyway. Social Security's 3.6% raise adds about $75 a month for the average retiree. Mario Innecco, host of maneco64 and a former London bond futures broker, says that won't keep up, and that big banks are trying to keep gold "under control." Jeremy Szafron asks Mario why gold is still above $4,000 with bond yields at mu...

Gold dropped as much as $82 on a hot inflation report, then erased almost the entire loss a day later. Gary Wagner of TheGoldForecast.com says that kind of snap-back is exactly what a bottom looks like, and his year-end model has gold climbing back above $5,000. Wagner takes Jeremy Szafron through the “engulfing bullish” pattern now sitting on the gold chart, the one candle that confirms it, and t...

Col. Douglas Macgregor tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron that Saudi Arabia is "gonna go out of business," that a new commodity supercycle has begun, and that another U.S. strike on Iran would bring "years of scarcity" for oil and water across the Gulf. Macgregor, a retired U.S. Army colonel who fought in the Gulf War and advised the acting Secretary of Defense, breaks down...

Washington could default at 50 cents on the dollar, and gold is the only hedge against Treasuries, Peter Schiff tells Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron. Schiff, host of The Peter Schiff Show, says the 40-year bull market in bonds is over and rates could rise faster than they fell. He sees 9% mortgage rates possible by the first quarter of next year and a 30 to 50% drop in home prices nationwide, wh...

Gerald Celente says Wall Street and Main Street have split apart, and a crash is on the near horizon. Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the Trends Journal, has spent 46 years forecasting trends. He joins Jeremy Szafron on the stock market, gold, silver, inflation, the jobs report, the Iran war, Gen Z and what he says is coming for your money. Celente says stocks ar...

Clem Chambers tells Jeremy Szafron the money printing starts after the midterms, interest rates fall sharply, and gold grinds higher. The ADVFN founder explains why the AI boom has only just begun, why it's running short of power, and who pays for it. Chambers says the AI race is now a race for electricity and copper. He expects the Fed to wait until after the midterms before the money starts...

Jim Rickards says Washington benefits from inflation. For people trying to protect their savings, that creates a very different problem. In this Kitco News interview, Jeremy Szafron asks Rickards who could drive gold’s next move, why he thinks China needs dollars even as it reduces its Treasury holdings, and what happens when the government’s debt problem collides with the saver’s need for stable...
