Gold Is Trading Around $4,000 – So Why Is the U.S. Mint Selling a 1-Oz Coin for $20,000?

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, about the growing speculation surrounding the U.S. Mint’s newly released 1-ounce gold coin priced near $20,000 while gold trades around $4,000 an ounce. Schectman weighs in on whether the unusual pricing, along with a surge in December $20,000 gold call options, could be signaling something much bigger ahead for gold, the U.S. Treasury market, and America’s 250th anniversary. He also discusses gold revaluation, the possibility of gold-linked Treasuries, why central banks are bringing gold home, and how the global gold infrastructure is shifting away from London & New York. Schectman also breaks down the risks of central bank digital currencies, stablecoins, the GENIUS Act, and why he believes gold is becoming increasingly vital as a neutral reserve asset in a changing monetary system.

He Lived Through 1987, 2000, 2008 & COVID – He’s Most Concerned Now, Here’s Why

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Peter Grandich, Founder, PeterGrandich.com, to discuss why he is more concerned about the economy and financial markets today than at any other point in his 40-plus year career. Having lived through the 1987 crash, the dot-com bubble, the Global Financial Crisis, and the COVID market collapse, Grandich shares his outlook on what he calls the “greatest melt-up in history,” why he believes markets are displaying classic signs of a major top, and how growing debt, political division, and investor complacency could create serious challenges ahead. He also weighs in on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s first meeting, the Fed’s sweeping review of its policies and communications, the implications for inflation and interest rates, and what a new Fed regime could mean for markets and gold. Grandich explains why he remains bullish on gold, silver, copper, and mining stocks, why he believes $10,000 gold is possible, and why he would rather own precious metals than broad U.S. equities at current valuations.

This Is What Happens If Fort Knox Gets Audited | Alasdair Macleod & Michelle Makori (Pt 2/2)

Part 2 of 2: Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with economist, monetary historian, and precious metals expert Alasdair Macleod to discuss what he believes could be the biggest threats facing the global financial system.

Part 1 of 2: Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, interviews Alasdair Macleod, economist, monetary historian, and publisher of Macleod Finance Substack. Is silver on the verge of a major breakout? Alasdair Macleod believes the silver market is facing a powerful convergence of forces that investors may be underestimating. In Part 1 of this interview, Macleod argues that silver is being mispriced by markets despite persistent supply deficits, growing industrial demand, China’s aggressive silver accumulation, and mounting stresses in physical silver markets. Macleod explains why disruptions tied to the Strait of Hormuz and sulfuric acid supplies could impact global silver production, why China may have abandoned its long-standing policy of suppressing silver prices, and why he believes silver should increasingly be viewed as an industrial metal rather than simply a precious metal.
