Episode Details

Silver recently surged toward $40, raising big questions about what’s really driving the move. Axel Merk joins Kerry Lutz to break it all down—examining industrial demand, the role of underperforming mining stocks, and whether a short squeeze is still on the table. They tackle ongoing concerns over market manipulation, U.S. borrowing risks, and the ripple effects of tariffs and global conflict. Merk pushes back on the idea of a gold standard and warns of deeper cracks forming in the financial system. The conversation ends with a powerful takeaway: self-investment may be the most secure asset in today’s volatile world.
