Gold’s Relative Strength

Gold’s recent push from $4,000 to $4,400 proved to be too much, too fast.

Relative strength, or RSI, provides investors with a quick glance as to how much the market likes or hates a given asset. The correction is a welcome event for hard asset investors.

With the metal back under $4,000, our thesis remains untouched.

In fact, the pullback  – while sharp and severe – makes  gold a less expensive insurance policy against geopolitical shocks and other Grey Swan events.

Gold remains a buy.

P.S. This week on Grey Swan Live!  we’re pivoting to the advent of Trump’s economic nationalism and US military readiness for future conflicts.

We’ll be joined by John Robb, our go-to analyst on the geopolitics of the Trump tariff strategy, the global networked intifada and the rise of drone warfare in Ukraine.

A former consultant to the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, Robb has a unique insight into  innovations at the forefront of autonomous weapons and how they are changing geopolitical strategy. With the markets rallying on positive news of a U.S.-China trade deal today, John will identify  the next global hotspots…

And some of the more attractive investment opportunities as AI and tech disrupt the traditional defense industry and its dependence on  U.S. government bureaucracy.

Peter Thiel: Capitalism Isn’t Working For Young People

November 14, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

I’m obviously very biased against socialism. I don’t think socialism has solutions to these problems. I don’t think Mamdani particularly has solutions. I don’t think you can socialize housing. If you just impose rent controls, then you probably have even less housing, and eventually, it’s even more expensive.

But to Mamdani’s credit, he at least talked about these problems. So my cop-out answer is always to say: The first step is to talk about the problems, even if you don’t know what to do about them. There’s been a failure of, let’s say, the center left-center right establishment to even talk about them.

The Long Shadow of the Family Budget

November 14, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

According to Global Markets Investor, 655 large U.S. companies have already gone bankrupt this year, the most in 15 years. Not yet a “recession,” per se, but a perceptibly slow tightening of the vise.

Credit conditions are stiff. Debt is heavy. Tariffs are pushing up costs. Consumers are fatigued. The Fed may pause in December.

Industrials lead the pack, followed by consumer discretionary and healthcare.

Markets Hate Thursdays and Fridays

Stocks have developed a habit of selling off into the weekend before rebounding this year.

One big explanation might be that traders don’t want to be leveraged going into two days where the market’s closed in New York – but stay open online. 

Any random Trump tweet can and has moved the market!

Ostensibly, if the weekend is quiet, stocks can recoup their Thursday/Friday declines.

Joe Withrow: The Hollow Class, Part III

November 13, 2025 • Andrew Packer

What we’ve seen since 2008 is nothing short of a theft of the commons. Except it happened in little pieces that seemed unrelated at the time. But if we look at the story holistically, it all comes together.

When we step back and view the entire picture, what emerges is not just a story of market excesses and economic shifts. What we see is the gutting of middle America – be it intentional or otherwise.

Now the question is – are we going to see the restoration of the American middle class in the coming years… or are we going to watch everything devolve into a modern redux of the War Between the States, more commonly but mistakenly known as the American Civil War?
