Venture capital is pouring hundreds of billions into AI, but the market may be ignoring the harder problem beneath the boom. Data centers need power, copper, critical minerals, transmission, and mines that cannot be built overnight.

David Hunter believes the market may be approaching its most explosive phase yet, with the S&P 500 potentially surging toward 10,000 before a historic reversal. His larger warning is that the habits which enriched investors for decades may become dangerous when the cycle finally changes.

Fort Knox may still be full of gold. But according to Stefan Gleason, the real issue is whether America’s gold is audited, pure, liquid, unencumbered and ready to use in a crisis...

Gerald Celente warns that the apparent easing of the Iran crisis may be temporary, while the deeper damage from inflation, slowing growth and geopolitical instability continues to spread. He also argues that the debt-fueled AI buildout increasingly resembles dot-com 2.0, with markets celebrating headlines while ignoring mounting structural risks.

Markets are near record highs. Politicians insist the economy is strong. Yet millions of young people feel further away from home ownership, financial security, and the future their parents took for granted. After my latest conversation with Gerald Celente, I found myself thinking less about inflation, AI, or even geopolitics, and more about where all of this is leading politically.

Aaron Hoddinott has owned gold for more than a decade, but after interviewing Alasdair Macleod, he is reconsidering what gold really is. Not a trade. Not a hedge. Maybe not even an investment.

Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to run out in 2032, leaving enough revenue to pay only about 78% of promised benefits. The shortfall raises bigger questions about U.S. deficits, entitlement promises, and long-term confidence in the dollar.

This article explores COMEX silver outflows, China silver demand, Shanghai premiums, paper silver markets, physical delivery, precious metals, and what it could mean for investors.

Silver enters 2026 caught between a powerful structural bull case and the risk of another brutal trap. With supply deficits, rising industrial demand, and pricing power shifting east, investors must decide whether this is a generational breakout or another painful lesson in silver’s volatility.

In this interview, Lavish explains why rising yields, currency debasement, Treasury market stress, and renewed money printing could reshape the outlook for stocks, gold, Bitcoin, and the U.S. dollar. His warning is simple: the system may not collapse overnight, but investors could be forced to protect themselves from a slow, grinding loss of purchasing power.

Jared Dillian believes the next decade may look more like the 1970s than the 2010s, with commodities, gold, energy, and international markets potentially outperforming traditional U.S. stock and bond portfolios. He argues that stocks are underpricing recession risk, the dollar remains overvalued, and investors may need broader diversification as the old 60/40 playbook comes under pressure.
