Gold has basked in the spotlight in recent months, and while silver is up by roughly the same amount in percentage terms this year, most investors feel it has underperformed. But as host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo, technical analysis reveals an extremely bullish pattern emerging in the silver market. Coupled with strong fundamentals, Mike argues there's an extremely strong upside case for silver. In this episode, he also discusses a shift in silver demand from the West to the East, similar to a pattern we've seen in gold.       

This week, Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, gives an explanation of why governments want to keep a lid on precious metals prices, how the weaponization of the dollar has become a very dangerous policy for the U.S. government, and also makes the case that the healthy rise in the price of gold over the past 25 years is a serious indictment against central banks and an indication of how efforts to limit gold’s gains have been less and less successful. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

We live in a microwave world. But the economy is roasting in a slow cooker.
