But since silver has hit the $50 range in 1980 and 2011, on an inflation-adjusted basis, it’s still lagging gold.

With the holiday season approaching, any precious metals you buy as a gift for family and friends stand to appreciate in value in the coming weeks. Enjoy.

P.S. Gold and silver are both headline stealers thus far in 2025 – participating in the most terrifying bull market driven by a fresh wave of liquidity, money-printing and a push to juice the economy into the midterms.

These trends make precious metals are still offering potential returns, and can help you avoid the bubble-induced danger of investing in any one specific stock.

The Problem With Fake Money

December 1, 2025 • Bill Bonner

Long have we dwelt on the corrupting influence of funny money on capital asset prices and on the economy. Everything gets distorted, perverse…and false. We get high prices. We get low prices. What we don’t get are honest prices.

Yesterday, we looked at the ‘small time crooks’ — ripping off the public for a million or two.

Today, we move to the big fry.

You’ll recall that the money in question was never earned by anyone. No one has a genuine claim to it. And what kind of apple falls from this funny money tree? Just what you’d expect…a funny one…with the worms already in it.

Your Loyalty and Your Submission

November 27, 2025 • Bill Bonner

The cause of this problem is not hard to find. The Fed caused the first mortgage finance crisis by dropping its key rate from 6% in 2001 to only 1% in 2003. This set the housing market a-tingling. Remember the ‘lo-doc’ mortgage loans? All it took to get a mortgage — guaranteed by the feds — was an application. Then, when the Fed tried to bring rates back into a normal zone, it triggered widespread bankruptcies, defaults and foreclosures.

So, the Fed cut rates again…from over 5% in 2007 to under 1% in 2009. Adjusted for inflation, rates remained under zero for most of the next fifteen years. This led to a huge new bid for housing…much of it coming from institutional buyers able to tap into the Fed’s low rates. The new demand led to the highest prices ever — now averaging about $100,000 more than the typical family can afford.

Why I Love Red Days

November 26, 2025 • Timothy Sykes

Don’t panic. Don’t average down. Don’t hold. Don’t hope.

Instead:

Review your open positions. Are any of them hitting your stop loss? Cut them.
Sit in cash if there’s no clear setup. Patience beats forcing trades.
Paper trade if you need the reps. Build your pattern recognition without risking capital.
Watch for opportunities. Red days often create the volatility needed for explosive small-cap moves.

This market will have plenty more red days. That’s guaranteed.

Dollar 2.0 Doubledown

November 26, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

Our Dollar 2.0 investment thesis is well intact. Just getting started, actually. And if you’ve been watching the crypto space lately, you’re aware that the stocks highlighted in our Dollar 2.0 research reports are selling at a nice discount right now.

First, some background.

Washington has a habit of passing laws with names that promise fireworks but paragraphs that deliver footnotes.

The Genius Act was treated exactly that way.
