While gold is predicted to hit record highs in 2024, Silver is poised to be in high demand this year as well, due to its industrial usefulness throughout several sectors - from fuel to tech to textiles.

With that, a large market deficit in the often-ignored precious metal is expected for the comi...

What do Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Jamie Dimon and Jack Ma have in common; besides the fact they are billionaires? They are dumping a massive amount of stocks. The question is: WHY?

Rampant government spending, BRICS gold-backed currency plans and the rise in interest into Central Bank Digital Currencies could affect gold prices in the coming year - but how expensive could an ounce get?

The U.S. national debt grows daily as out-of-control government spending and printing has caused massive inflation, and other economic problems. Because of this, Jess Felder - who puts out the Felder Report - expects gold to spike $700 an ounce; which would mean we'd be looking at $2,700 an ounce gold. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin and Dustin Anderson explore the possibilities, the factors which c...

While the BRICS nations continue to work on setting up their gold-backed currency, reports out of China say the CCP is picking up and hoarding a lot more gold than normal.

Chase Bank has reportedly been holding up deposits, creating disruptive, real-life problems for their clients.

With politicians trying to paint the economy in the ways they want you to see it, where is the truth and how do we find it?

The War on Cash goes beyond pushing a universal currency. Much of this is about the government gaining total control over your money and your privacy.

Will it happen? If so, what how can we prepare ourselve...

The BRICS nations have been building up a small army of other nations who will trade in their coming gold-backed currency but now, BRICS leaders are influencing more nations around the world to ditch their dollar reserves. Recent reports indicate the BRICS nations plan to completely dump the U.S. greenback entirely in thr...

Bank failures have become "normal" recently. Can We afford another 2008-style bailout?

Of the 4500+ banks that are FDIC insured, there is over $7 trillion in uninsured deposits. If you think it's just the no-name institutions, yo...

Chase, Wells Fargo and other large banks have announced they will be closing more branches soon. This has been happening for a while and won't end soon.
