“The soul of money is trust. To operate effectively, businesses must maintain the trust of investors. And central banks must maintain the trust of the public. Governments also have a role to play in the face of today’s central banks’ losses. Because these institutions are ultimately backed by the state, trust in money requires sound […]

Those watching the gold price and price of silver will have noticed the sharp uptick following the Federal Reserve’s announcement, yesterday.

It’s that time again when the US government has to prepare itself for an internal battle to raise the debt ceiling so it can meet various obligations.

Today we ask, what is wealth? As we start a new year many will be looking at their portfolios and wondering what 2023 will have in store for them. Similar to 2022, we suspect there will be a lot of unknowns. As with anything unforeseen, it’s a good idea to have some insurance. This is […]
They say Christmas is a time for giving, and this is exactly the approach of central banks this year. Last week four central banks gave us interest rate hikes alongside hints at future hikes.

Laurence J. Peter said, “An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.” Right now we think this might be the motto that helps central bankers sleep at night.

The US midterms have not produced the ‘red tsunami’ so many political commentators predicted. But the Democrats could still lose the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate, as well.

Yesterday the Fed hiked rates. It wasn’t exactly a surprise. For gold and silver investors it was yet another great opportunity to remind ourselves why we invest in gold bars or buy silver coins – because central banks are predictable.
