Following along just like last week, gold and silver prices were smashed overnight as soon as London opened...and then smashed again as soon as Comex opened today. And now, just as last week, we must remind you that it's not how you begin the week that matters...

You'll recall last...

It is another good day....and strong start to 2020...for all metals, not just gold and silver, as the rallies in platinum and palladium continue. And you know what they say about rising tides and boats.

Let's just dive right in. Here's the board as I begin typing:...

It's always great fun to be on with Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert and this episode, recorded last Saturday, was no different.

So, since there won't be a podcast today, perhaps this can serve as some additional content. Max and I discuss gold and the miners in this segment which begins...

Batchelor and Cohen returned last evening with their first Cold War podcast of the new year. The guys don't record these podcasts as frequently anymore so, when they do, you should be sure to carve our some time to listen.

So, is that it? Is it over? Have the MENA and world walked to the edge of the abyss, looked over and then walked back? Let's hope that's the case and we should know more as the day progresses.
