Coming up we’ll hear from Jp Cortez, Executive Director of the Sound Money Defense League (https://www.soundmoneydefense.org/) . Mike Maharrey and his interview guest this week discuss the state of sound money in our nation, some exciting news on the policy front regarding gold and silver and then also talk about the nation’s gold at Fort Knox and what it will take to finally get an audit on the gold that Uncle Sam supposedly owns.

Tariffs and rumors of tariffs are driving the markets right now. But is there something bigger going on? Are tariffs just one plotline within a bigger story? 

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey puts the current market chaos into context, zooming in to focus on what he believes is a much bigger narrative. 

He argues that the stock market is a big fat bubble just waiting for a pin. Tariffs might be that pin. But even if they’re not, there’s a pin out there. Mike explains how we got to this place, focusing on Federal Reserve monetary policy and the broader boom-bust business cycle using the Dow-to-Gold ratio as a map to the broader narrative.

Well, Mike has a lot of answers!

And he guarantees they will be the correct answers or your money back!

It’s back to the basics this week on the Midweek Memo podcast as host Mike Maharrey answers some of the most common questions he’s asked about gold, silver, investing, and economics.

This week, a tremendous interview with Chris Powell of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, or GATA. Chris tells how the rapid rise to $3,000 gold is an indication that central bank manipulation of gold is falling apart, and more.

According to the headlines, the Federal Reserve didn’t really do anything at its March meeting.

But it did.

True, the central bank held interest rates steady, however, it still made a very significant move.

It dramatically slowed balance sheet reduction. 

What does this mean and why did the Fed do it now? 

In this week’s Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey explains the move and its potential impact, and puts it in the context of Fed monetary policy history. He also talks about what we should make of Jerome Powell’s insistence that the economy is "fine."

This week, we have the incredible honor of talking to the man who wrote a book on the origins of the Fed called The Creature from Jekyll Island. G. Edward Griffin joins us this week and you will not want to miss the incredible and sketchy story of how the Federal Reserve came to be over a century ago.

Gold hit a major milestone last week eclipsing $3,000 an ounce for the first time.

Perhaps even more impressive was how fast gold pushed to that much-anticipated level. 

So, can this gold bull run continue?

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about it, highlighting several factors driving gold higher and explaining why he thinks this gold can keep pushing higher.

Coming up we’ll hear a fascinating interview with Stuart Englert, award-winning and veteran journalist and the author of nine books including Rigged: Exposing the Largest Financial Fraud in History (https://www.moneymetals.com/rigged-exposing-the-largest-financial-fraud-in-history/1944) , which you can find on MoneyMetals.com.

Is the dollar in trouble? Is it doomed?

People are starting to talk about a growing trend of "de-dollarization." But what does that mean? And why does it matter? 

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek memo, host Mike Maharrey talks about de-dollarization, why it’s happening, and the potential ramifications. He explains how the weaponization of the dollar has hastened de-dollarization and why even a small decline in the dollar’s global reserve status could be disastrous. He also discusses how the de-dollarization trend could drive gold much higher than most people realize.

This week, we have an exclusive interview with Jordan Roy-Byrne, a chartered market technician and master of financial technical analysis, editor and publisher of The Daily Gold and Gold and Silver: The Greatest Bull Market Has Begun. Jordan lays out the case for gold having broken out of a 13-year long trading range, signaling the start of a new long-term uptrend. And why Silver might outperform Gold.

We went from, "The economy is great," to "Uh-oh" in the blink of an eye!

Federal Reserve monetary policy significantly impacts the economy, incentivizing malinvestments, sparking recessions, and creating inflation. 

Most people know the Fed is important but they tend to focus on interest rate policy. As Money Metals’ Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey explains, they’re missing a big part of the picture. 

The central bank’s balance sheet is as important as interest rates — if not more-so. 

In this episode, Mike highlights some interesting things going on with the balance sheet and how it could mean even more inflation coming down the pike. 

In this episode, he also talks about the current volatility in the precious metals markets.

The rise in mortgage costs has had a significant chilling effect on the housing market in the U.S. Sales of existing homes plunged by 4.9% month-on-month in January and were only 2% higher than a year ago. To put it into some context, 2024 was the worst year for existing home sales since 1995. Compared to January 2021, home sales were down by 36%. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash? Get Started Here: https://www.moneymetals.com/gold-loan

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

This is a principle in physics but it applies to economics as well. 

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey delves into the impacts of Federal Reserve interest rate policy past and present on the economy using the current state of the housing market as an example. He demonstrates the profound problem the central bank currently faces and how it’s impacting your money. 

This week, Mike also delves into the recent movements and dynamics in the gold and silver markets.

Coming up we’ll hear an interesting interview with MoneyMetals.com (https://www.moneymetals.com/news) columnist and gold market analyst Jan Nieuwenhuijs.

President Trump recently ordered the U.S. Mint to stop producing pennies. This may not seem like a big deal in the big scheme of things, but as Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, the demise of the 1-cent coin is indicative of a much bigger problem.

The government is destroying all of your money.

And not just the penny.

Starting with the January CPI report and the sudden revelation that price inflation isn’t dead, Mike explains exactly what the government and the central bank are doing to your money.

Some records were made to be broken.

Last year, gold hit record highs 40 times!

Those weren’t the only records relating to gold that fell in 2024. Gold demand also set a record, despite the higher prices. In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey breaks down the gold demand data and reveals some interesting trends supporting the gold bull market.

Coming up don’t miss a wonderful interview with Peter St Onge, economist at the Heritage Foundation and a Fellow at the Mises Institute, for terrific back-and-forth commentary on a range of topics including how the national debt poses a major threat to the economy, with interest payments alone now exceeding what the entire federal budget was under President Clinton. | Do you own precious metals you would rather not sell, but need access to cash?

The powers that be may have found a new scapegoat for price inflation — tariffs. 

But while tariffs will raise some prices, they don’t cause "inflation" in the true sense of the word. Governments and their central banks do that, but they don’t want you to know it. 

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why tariffs won’t cause inflation (as properly defined) and spotlights the true cause of our inflationary woes – fiat money systems. He goes on to explain how this answers the question, "Why do I want gold and silver?" 

Because it’s sound money in a world of fiat money chaos.

Gold set multiple records last year while silver remained well below its all-time highs. This created the impression that silver underperformed even though it was up over 20 percent. But we’re starting to see some bullish sentiment for silver, even in the mainstream.

In fact, some people are projecting 2025 could be silver’s year to shine.

In this episode of the Money Metals’ Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains why the supply and demand dynamics, along with technical indicators, justify this bullish sentiment.
