The Case Against Gold

2026-03-11

Maybe you should invest like a dead man.

Sounds crazy, right? But studies have shown accounts belonging to dead people often outperform those that are actively managed.

In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey makes sense out of this phenomenon and explains why it’s particularly valuable to understand during a war. He also highlights how the ongoing conflict with Iran is causing logistical disruptions to the precious metals markets, and speculates how the war could impact gold and silver prices down the road.

Silver Dragon Guards Treasure? Draco Silver Statue (2026)

What happens when a dragon guards a treasure hoard… made entirely of silver?

In this video, Draco the Dragon, an intricately sculpted 8 troy ounce sterling silver statue, sits watch over a stack of silver coins like a legendary guardian protecting its hoard.

You asked for it, and I finally got permission to do it.

In this video, I break the Double – 1 Troy Ounce Divisible Silver Round, .999 Pure by hand to see if it’s really as “divisible” as advertised. This unique 1 oz .999 fine silver round is designed to split into multiple pieces, making it a practical option for silver stacking, gifting, keepsakes, and even barter silver scenarios if the economy ever forces people back toward real money.

The concept echoes the old Spanish pieces of eight, which were historically divided for trade and everyday exchange. Watch the snap test up close, see how clean

People ask us all the time: what’s the difference between a silver round and a silver coin? They look almost identical, they can both be traded, and they can both contain one troy ounce of fine silver—so why does the terminology matter?

In this quick breakdown, we compare a private-mint silver round (Asahi) to a government-minted silver coin (American Silver Eagle) and explain the one key difference that separates “rounds” from “coins.”

Remember the big promises?

Tariff revenue was supposed to end the income tax and even fund stimulus checks. But it never added up, and the numbers make that painfully clear.

Through the first three months of fiscal 2026, the federal government collected $90 billion in tariffs. In that same stretch, it spent $1.83 trillion.

In this clip, Money Metals analyst and reporter Mike Maharrey explains why tariffs can’t solve a government spending crisis, why the U.S. also has a borrowing problem, and how that fuels global de-dollarization. When the math doesn’t work, the pressure builds for the Federal Reserve to step in

https://www.moneymetals.com/news/2025/11/19/us-senator-introduces-comprehensive-gold-audit-legislation-004494

The United States is said to hold the world’s largest gold reserve, worth hundreds of billions of dollars — but it hasn’t had a comprehensive, independent audit since 1953.

This video breaks down Senator Mike Lee’s Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 and explains why a real, modern audit of America’s gold is long overdue.

You’ll learn exactly what the bill would do: require the Comptroller General (GAO) to hire an independent third-party auditor to conduct a full assay, inventory, and audit of all U.S. gold — including deep-storage reserves — at Fort
