Welcome to our weekly market commentaries and geopolitical analyses written by Larry Simon. The primary focus of the Fort Kobbe newsletter is to provide clients and investors with insights into the precious metals market, specifically gold and silver. This is a resource for investors who prioritize physical asset security and want a global finance perspective that emphasizes the value of gold and silver in a volatile economic climate.
Where are the prices of Gold and Silver going? In my opinion, a lot higher. Mexico has joined China in restricting exports of silver. A good portion of the silver used in the US comes from Mexico. This is excellent political leverage against the US. I understand the Mexican reaction.
Once again, we look at the silver market. Gold is hitting new highs as would be expected when currencies are being devalued at the rate that they are, but silver reaching the prices it is, because of previous decades of suppression, is no longer a conspiracy theory. The silver paper

After being held artificially low for a long time, the market is starting to show strain. When large buyers ask for physical delivery, available supply can disappear very quickly. This
Gold is trading steady this week, it has been holding in the $4,000 to $4,200.00 range over the past seven weeks. Silver, on the other hand, has exploded upwards. After a run beginning in May, from $34.00 to $62.00 this morning, a consolidation or pull back can be expected. Worst
Are we near the top of the stock market? I think we are close. They can continue to cover up the awful state of the economy, of manufacturing, of inflation, for a short period more. The market will respond well to more money printing, and lower interest rates so it
Dumbing down the population seems to be the way politicians keep the voters voting for them. Do governments deliberately “dumb down” populations for political control? In some countries, yes — absolutely.Authoritarian systems throughout history have used limited education, restricted media access, and propaganda to reduce public agency and maintain political
Italy wants to ‘uncover’ undeclared gold holdings, then assess them and tax them. The article appended below explains it. If you were gifted the gold or inherited it or bought it before all the paperwork was necessary. This makes the hair (if I had any) prickle on the back of
