Hello everybody,
With silver reaching $100 per ounce heading into the weekend, and gold not far behind at just under $5,000, it’s worth taking a closer look at who is buying, who is selling, and what this divergence in behavior might be telling us.
After speaking with dealers across Europe and the United States, a clear disparity is emerging. In the U.S., many investors are buying the trend through ETFs, as a short term trade, while simultaneously selling physical metals.
Meanwhile, in central and eastern Europe, demand for physical bullion held in personal possession is experiencing unprecedented year-on-year growth. For many in this region, the current environment is triggering memories of warning signs that preceded hyperinflation and financial catastrophes.
So who is correct?
For those in the West who have never lived through such periods, it’s natural to assume that gold and silver will eventually disappoint and that conditions will return to normal. But that assumption could well be based on recency bias.
Whilst volatility is inevitable, and pullbacks—particularly in silver—are part of the process. Attempting to time these moves during a monetary reset is dangerous. Especially with your core physical holdings.
Ultimately, physical precious metals are the best liferaft in what increasingly resembles a potentially world-changing storm. In the latest episode, we acknowledge the significance of triple-digit silver and new all-time highs in gold, while also exploring why this may not be the moment to sell your liferaft for paper.
Take care,
Mike
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY CONSULTATION OFFER
In recent weeks I’ve received a number of inquiries regarding my availability for 1–2–1 consultations. For more than four years I’ve been guiding clients towards positioning themselves and their families to protect their wealth during the high-risk environment we are now in.
From managing the Great Taking and asset confiscation, to protecting pensions and 401(k)’s — this is where I specialize. I also support people with creating a Plan B and preparing to become more self-sufficient. Normally, I only offer a limited number of consultation slots each month, but given what is unfolding, I am opening my diary up in the coming months to focus on consultations.
As a thank-you to my subscribers for their support throughout 2025, I am offering 20% off all consultations booked before the end of January. This is the first time I have ever discounted my consultations.
As such, if you would like personal, one-to-one support to secure your wealth, now is a great time to book. The discount can be accessed via the link below.
GROUP COACHING FOR INVESTORS BEGINS FEBRUARY
I’m excited to let you know that bookings are now open for the February cohort of Group Coaching for Investors. Group coaching is your opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge required to preserve and grow your wealth going into the reset.

What’s included in group coaching:
12 sessions live on zoom
Each session focuses on a key topic, including the Great Taking, protecting pensions and 401(k)s, gold and silver strategies, ratios, cycles, and more
