    Gold Battles the $5,000 Barrier - Jerry Robinson

    Gold is testing the $5,000 barrier — and the charts are flashing warning signs. Kerry Lutz and Jerry Robinson dive into gold and silver as markets test extreme levels. A rising 50-day moving average offers support, but long weekly wicks show momentum could be slowing. Will it break through, or pause first? Speculation around Kevin Warsh and shifting Fed expectations may be driving the pullback. If the hawkish premium fades, rates could ease — and gold reacts. Silver just went vertical — then crashed back. Volatility is insane. Yet the fundamentals remain rock-solid: industrial demand from solar and data centers is still building. The lesson is clear: don’t panic. Diversify. Dollar-cost average. See spikes as opportunity, not fear. Strategy also matters. Substack is winning over WordPress for publishing, mailing, and monetization. Kerry shares early paid-subscriber traction, teases Living the Silverback Lifestyle, and outlines a new parking-enforcement book paired with litigation and a public campaign under the National Association of American Defrauded Parkers. Markets are wild. Policy is shifting. Psychology is stretched. Smart investors stay steady — and strike when others hesitate.

  2. 🎙 We Went Live — And Something Important Happened

    20H AGO

    🎙 We Went Live — And Something Important Happened

    Yesterday we did something different. For the first time ever, Robert Ian delivered his commentary live — not recorded, not edited, not in isolation — but in real time, in front of an audience. Many of you have listened to Robert for years. Over 600 GoldSeek Radio commentaries. Thoughtful. Measured. Grounded. But this was different. This was live! 🌎 The Backdrop: A Shifting World Gold at historic levels. Silver waking up from a decades-long consolidation. Currency tensions rising. Debt ceilings that no longer matter. Central banks boxed into corners. And yet, on the ground? Empty restaurants. Less traffic. Visible strain in small businesses. People quietly cutting back. Robert just returned from a Southwest road trip. What he saw didn’t match the headlines. That disconnect matters. 🧠 The Real Theme: Repositioning This isn’t recovery. It’s repositioning. Robert said something powerful: “The next several years are about economic repositioning and survival.” That hit. We may not be heading into “the next crisis.” We may already be in it — and never fully exited the last one. 💰 Metals: Undervalued or Just Early? We discussed: Silver’s 1980 high (~$49.45) Inflation-adjusted value north ohank you to everyone who tuned into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app. Gold’s reclassification as a Tier-1 bank asset Whether ETFs and crypto siphoned demand from physical metals At current levels, many still believe physical metal remains historically undervalued. But more importantly — the psychology is shifting. And psychology moves markets before headlines do. 🌍 Europe, the Dollar, and Tough Love We also touched on the future of Western civilization, U.S.–Europe tensions, and the uncomfortable middle phase of change. Robert framed it well: Real change happens in discomfort. And we are clearly in the discomfort zone. 🎯 Why We’re Doing This Live This isn’t a polished studio production. It’s conversation. It’s testing ideas in real time. It’s responding to what’s unfolding — not what’s already happened. And judging by the response, we’re just getting started. 📬 What’s Next? More live sessions.More Q&A.More direct conversations about markets, survival, and strategy. If you missed it live, stay tuned — the replay details will follow. And if you have questions you want covered in the next session, reply directly to this email. We read them. — Kerry P.S. I also gave a preview of my upcoming book exposing the “parking industrial complex.” It started with one ticket. It’s ending in federal court. More on that very soon. This is a public episode.

    The Lock-In Economy - Jason Hartman

    Mortgage rates tripled. The crash never came. In this Episode Kerry Lutz and Jason Hartman break down why U.S. housing didn’t collapse when borrowing costs exploded. Nearly 25% of homeowners hold mortgages at or below 3%. About 65% are at 4% or less. That “lock-in effect” crushed supply and froze mobility. Fewer than 800,000 homes are listed nationwide — under 0.6% of America’s 140 million housing units. Owners won’t give up cheap debt. Inventory stays tight. Hartman believes this imbalance could persist into 2032–2033. Scarcity and utility continue driving prices — even after the rate shock. The conversation then shifts to immigration and rental housing. Hartman argues most undocumented migrants occupy lower-tier rentals, meaning enforcement shifts would likely hit C-class properties first. They also discuss Sun Belt migration trends and investor tools like PropertyTracker and Empowered Investor for sourcing income-producing properties. If you’ve been waiting for a housing crash, Kerry and Jason explain why it hasn’t happened — and what could finally change the equation.

    Trump’s Enforcement Changed Everything - Josh Hammer

    In this conversation, Kerry Lutz is joined by Josh Hammer to break down why immigration enforcement has quietly reshaped crime trends, voter behavior, and the political landscape — often in ways the media refuses to acknowledge. They examine how Trump’s enforcement-first messaging changed the national conversation, contributed to declining crime rates, and helped drive unexpected voter shifts, including among Hispanic voters in key states like Texas and Florida. Josh explains why open-border policies clash with a large welfare state, how cultural assimilation and enforcement intersect, and why past GOP immigration strategies failed where Trump’s approach succeeded. The discussion also explores foreign policy, public safety, and state vs. federal authority, challenging the narratives shaping today’s political debate — and why the voter shift may only be getting started.

    Gold Just Fired a Warning - Ed Siddell

    Gold and silver just made a violent move — and it wasn’t random. Kerry Lutz sits down with Edward Siddell to break down the parabolic surge, the sharp pullback, and what it really signals beneath the surface. Siddell explains how panic buying, inflation pressure, and volume spikes collided in the metals markets — and why the pullback wasn’t weakness, but a warning. At the center of the move: central banks. Siddell outlines why gold reserves are rising as U.S. Treasuries quietly lose favor, and how growing debt levels increase long-term dollar risk. The conversation turns to silver, where supply constraints, historical ratios, and rising industrial demand — including AI and data centers — are setting the stage for outsized moves. Siddell closes with his 12–24 month outlook for gold and silver and what to watch as markets head toward a potentially volatile 2026.

    Silver Is Repricing the System - David Stryzewski

    Kerry Lutz and David Stryzewski explain why silver is being forced into a new pricing regime as industrial demand accelerates. David outlines how AI, solar, and advanced technologies are driving a structural shift in silver demand, pushing prices sharply higher while the silver-to-gold ratio remains deeply distorted. Kerry highlights growing supply pressures tied to geopolitics, including export restrictions from China and Venezuela and the strategic importance of mineral-rich resource corridors. The discussion widens to systemic risks, from Federal Reserve policy and commercial real estate refinancing to a national debt nearing $40 trillion. David stresses the importance of strong balance sheets as the system comes under strain. The episode closes with a look at blockchain, AI, and emerging opportunities forming as silver and hard assets reprice the system.

    Silver Is Breaking the System - David Erfle

    Kerry Lutz sits down with precious metals analyst David Erfle to break down the latest moves in silver and gold, and why recent price action is being driven by structural forces rather than short-term speculation. They trace decades of paper-market intervention — from 1960s silver controls to the Hunt Brothers episode — explaining how regulatory and exchange actions have repeatedly distorted price discovery. This time, however, physical shortages are forcing a widening disconnect between paper prices and real-world supply. The discussion ties precious metals strength to a sovereign debt spiral, currency devaluation, and shifting institutional demand, while also covering refinery inventory stress, margin hikes, intraday reversals, and their impact on mining equities. David explains why he has capped subscriptions to his newsletter due to liquidity risks in junior miners and shares candid views on select opportunities and flawed capital structures.
