Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney to discuss his insights into the silver market and its relationship with gold prices. He suggests that despite a seemingly undersupplied market, the price disparity between gold and silver does not reflect this reality. Macleod anticipates a significant shift in investor behavior once patience runs thin among those who have already bought into gold but yet to enter the silver market. The role of foreign investors, particularly central banks, in driving gold prices is highlighted. Macleod also emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of the ongoing credit bubble on financial markets and encourages listeners to consider reducing their exposure to credit. Alasdair expresses his views on Donald Trump's impact on gold prices, citing increased foreign demand due to Trump's status as an inflationist and his executive orders. However, concerns over tariffs and potential economic repercussions remain. Macleod also touches upon historical examples of tariffs and interest rates and their relationship with an economy's purchasing power. He emphasizes the importance of understanding this connection for investors during the upcoming credit bubble. Throughout the conversation, Alasdair highlights the importance of considering global economic trends and various factors influencing gold and silver prices. He also discusses the role of speculators versus central banks in driving these markets and the potential for a significant shift once investor sentiment changes.

When European colonists first landed in North America, they were anticipating the discovery of all manner of new animals of all shapes and sizes. What they weren't expecting, however, was tales of a mythic bird, dozens of times bigger than anything they had seen before, with the power create storms and even shoot lightning from it's eyes like the most powerful of Greek gods.

Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is the quintessential cryptid. It is known around the world, and yet little is actually known about the creature itself — it's secretive and shy, with strong survival instincts. Which is all the more reason why Albert Ostman's bigfoot encounter from the early 20th century is absolutely fascinating. Because, breaking with character completely, Bigfoot grabbed Albert out of his sleeping bag and stole him away to his home in the forest where Albert lived with the Sasquatch for days.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney to discuss the current trends in the gold market. The conversation covers various aspects of the gold market, including the role of the dollar, increased demand for physical gold, particularly in China, and the impact on the COMEX market. Macleod explains that gold is hitting new highs due to the dollar's decline rather than an increase in gold prices per se. He attributes this trend to government policies that maintain large budget deficits. A Trump second term is likely to continue weakening the dollar. Chinese households are turning to physical gold as an alternative to stocks and property, leading to increased demand and potential drainage of physical liquidity from the West. In terms of the COMEX market, Alasdair points out that open interest has significantly increased, particularly due to neutral spread activity and arbitrage. He notes that this market could become more overbought and warns about potential mark-to-mark losses among the swaps, which may lead to further paper demand and a 'bear squeeze' on these institutions. Alasdair discusses the impacts of the Comex, London, and Shanghai exchanges on metals markets. There is a drainage of physical gold from Western markets, particularly London, due to arbitrage opportunities. Chinese banks are expected to increase their gold reserves, and there's also a resurgence in demand for Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). They discuss the risks associated with credit and the potential for a crisis in the financial system, particularly regarding the clearinghouse and shares. Alasdair advises protecting oneself by holding physical assets like gold and silver and ensuring sufficient supplies during the initial stages of a potential collapse. Lastly the effects of BRICS alliance is discussed and their plans to back their currencies with physical gold and silver. Although an attempt was made last year, it did not succeed due to opposition from China and India. Russia is expected to bring this issue up during the upcoming BRICS meeting in Astana in October, proposing that 40% of the new trade settlement currency would be backed by gold. Despite doubts about execution, having significant gold reserves and accumulating substantial quantities of gold for years could significantly impact the global economy if successful.

As paranormal investigators, we DREAM of the day that we finally make contact with extraterrestrials... but what if that day has already come? In 1966, banana farmer named George Pedley saw something truly bananas. A UFO emerged from underneath the water of a lagoon and disappeared into the sky above him.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod to the show. Alasdair notes that gold prices rose significantly last week, but the miners did not hedge their positions. He belives this is because mining boards have come to realize that it is the weakening US dollar, not gold, that is the cause of the price increase. As a result, they have decided to hold off on hedging their positions. However, energy costs are still a concern as they can rise unpredictably. The commitment of traders report shows that many derivative markets are held by bullion banks in short positions. The open interest on COMEX is currently high, and Alasdair believes it could increase further. He sees COMEX as a key indicator for the gold market and believes that the bullion banks are facing a challenging situation with significant short positions. The reverse repos facility provided by the Federal Reserve has seen a decline in usage as money market funds have shifted to investing in Treasury bills, which offer better interest rates. Despite the rising government debt, funding frustrations have been avoided as money market funds find alternatives. However, this could put pressure on the bullion banking community if liquidity dries up and makes it difficult to fund government debt. There is speculation that a significant amount of gold, half of the world's total reserves, may no longer exist due to leasing and potential disappearance from the New York Fed. The Fed's announcement of a dovish pivot has caused the US dollar index to drop, leading to a decline in the yen carry trade. Investors are seeking alternative investments like gold. The Middle East conflict, particularly due to Houthi-Iranian aggression, could introduce further instability to the credit market. The Federal Reserve's priorities are shifting to focus on job creation for the upcoming presidential election. This shift has resulted in a fall in profits for the carry trade and a decline in the US dollar's trade weighted index. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have become more focused on funding governments rather than protecting the public from inflation and devaluation. The banking system, particularly in Europe, is highly leveraged and vulnerable to rising interest rates. The return of free banking is advocated by many, where banks are responsible for their own problems. The LBMA is experiencing a decrease in market share due to the popularity of places like Dubai, where gold is sold based solely on weight at the gold souk. The LBMA's efforts to gain preferential treatment from the Bank of International Settlements have been unsuccessful. Gold's value has been denied and downplayed by the US government, as a rise in gold prices would not be geopolitically beneficial. The situation in Argentina, with its President Milei is worth watching. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine are also impacting energy prices and geopolitical dynamics.

Macbeth is one of the most famous plays of all time, but did you know that it's cursed? Legend has it that Shakespeare's witch dialogue was so realistic he actually stumbled across real spells that cursed the play to this very day, and that just by uttering the word ‘Macbeth' in a theatre is enough to doom the production. It may sound far-fetched but the long list of victims of the curse says otherwise… So it's time for Kit and Rory to investigate and find out - is the curse of Macbeth really paranormal, or just superstition?TPL MERCH STORE - https://www.thisparanormallife.com/storeFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comResearch by Ewen FriersEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

In 1917, three shepherd children in Fátima, Portugal claimed that they met an Angel in the woods. It told them to keep coming back every month until it was ready to perform a "great miracle". However, the more the children and their parents learnt about this figure, the more they suspected that this was no angel... this was something PARANORMAL.LIVE TOUR - https://www.thisparanormallife.com/tourFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comResearch by Amy GrisdaleEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

When The Dakota was built in New York City in 1880 it was an oddity. Built with no expense spared, it was beautiful and futuristic - capable of powering itself and all it's surrounding streets with it's own basement power station - yet so far away from downtown Manhattan that it was named The Dakota because it might as well have been the midwest. But as soon as construction was complete it became clear that something was 'off' about the building. Strange and unfortunate events befell the first people to live there, and over time, ghosts were seen stalking it's halls. The building has been home to countless celebrities over the years and many have had paranormal experiences of their own. Is The Dakota as haunted as they say?

If you're making a list of the creepiest looking sh*t in the world, ventriloquist dolls would definitely be near the top, and "Mr. Fritz" is no exception.

How does a plane even go missing? That's what Frederick's friends, family, and colleagues all must have wondered when he never arrived at his destination one fateful day in 1978. Normally search parties would look at flight paths or hunt for wreckage, but this time they had a larger and more ominous clue - the last transmission Frederick made moments before he went missing, describing what can only be explained as some kind of UFO following him, before the communication was abruptly ended and he was never seen again. More clues would emerge in the coming days that Rory and Kit must now pore over and decide, was he truly abducted by aliens?LIVE TOUR - www.thisparanormallife.com/tourFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comResearch by Amy GrisdaleEdited by Philip Shacklady Hosted on Acast.

On Boxing Day 1973 audiences around the world flocked to the must-see cinema event of the year - The Exorcist - clamouring to see if the stories were true; that it was the most shocking film ever made. Even primed with this knowledge they could not be prepared for what they saw that night. People were fainting and vomiting in the aisles (really!) and ambulances lined up outside theatres before showings to save people the time of calling them.
