We begin the new year on SmarterMarkets™ with Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review. This week, we're continuing to revisit the conversations with our guests that helped us understand and articulate the themes that would come to define 2025. It was the year in which we discovered that this was not the energy transition that we were expecting; and the year in which a new geopolitical reality emerged and old geopolitical concerns resurfaced. It was the year featuring a tale of two carbon markets and the need for new weather markets to manage the risks posed by reliance on renewable power. And 2025 was the year in which there was both a new gold rush and a rush into tokenization. We hope you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy Part Two of our Holiday Special 2025: The Year in Review.

Gold just had its best year since 1979, and silver is up over 150%. But is this just the beginning of a historic supercycle? In this must-hear episode of On The Record, Christian Briggs, CEO of Hard Asset Management, joins NTD News to break down the massive, coordinated shift happening across global markets, and why gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are suddenly exploding in value.Christian pulls back the curtain on the forces driving this once-in-a-generation surge. Central banks around the world, from China to Russia and across the BRICS alliance, are dumping U.S. Treasuries and stockpiling gold at an unprecedented pace. Why? Because gold is becoming the new global backstop for currency credibility, and with BRICS preparing to launch a gold-backed digital currency, the stakes couldn't be higher.But silver isn't sitting on the sidelines either. With Elon Musk and global tech leaders warning about silver supply chain threats, and demand from data centers, EVs, solar panels, and microchips skyrocketing, the silver squeeze is real. Christian explains why the world needs over 1.5 billion ounces of silver annually, but mines are only producing a billion, and how that shortage could drive prices into uncharted territory.This episode also digs into the platinum and palladium boom as nuclear energy makes a comeback. President Trump's push to fast-track reactor approvals means critical minerals are about to become the backbone of 21st-century power grids, and Hard Asset Management is already seeing investor appetite shift toward these strategic metals.And here's the kicker: it's not just governments and institutions moving into metals, retail investors are piling in. According to Briggs, demand for physical gold, silver coins, and strategic metals is at a 40-year high. From inflation hedges to digital currency backlash, this is more than a trend, it's a movement.If you've been sitting on the sidelines, this is your wake-up call. Learn what's driving the metals boom, how to protect your wealth from a declining dollar, and why now, more than ever, hard assets are your best defense in a volatile world.
SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Gemma Dale from nabtrade about the day's sharemarket action and a look to the investment themes for 2026.
Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins me for an end of the year wrap up, and a look ahead to 2026. We contrast how different stages of companies are reacting, or not reacting, to the higher underlying metals prices, across the producers, developers, and explorers; as well as where Erik sees the most fundamental catalysts stacking up that are not being properly recognized in current company valuations. We review the continued strange dichotomy between surging precious metals prices and the lagging reactions in many junior gold and silver stocks from 2024 into 2025, but look ahead to when we may see more capital rotate down into the PM junior stocks heading in 2026. Since the producers can immediately monetize the higher gold and silver and platinum prices, they have run much more over the last year than the pre-revenue companies. With regards to the junior explorers and developers, he sees the metals prices as merely a tailwind to their coming newsflow and that those fundamental catalysts are much more relevant for any changes to the company's valuation (either up or down). Erik points to the developers in the 2nd leg of the Lassonde Curve, like Montage Gold that have derisked large projects and been rewarded, or developers that successfully have moved into production, like Artemis Gold as examples of the kind of moves that other stocks may go on as this precious metals bull market matures. * In full disclosure, the companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.

Precious metals are seeing profit taking this morning after a strong rally last week saw the likes of gold and silver continue their strong years. On the flip side, cyptocurrencies are higher today, after a fourth quarter rout had previously spoiled any hopes of a Santa rally. Geopolitics continues to dominate the holiday period, with Trump and Zelenskyy meeting this past weekend at the White House to hammer out the details of a potential peace deal. The two leaders praised progress in negotiations, with Zelenskyy emphasing the strides made on security guarentees, a key sticking point for his country and the Europeans.

Should you be buying this precious metal this Christmas? Find out what it is today as we reflect on how instant gratification, social media, and shifting consumer behavior mirror broader economic changes. We also talk practical year-end investing discipline, including portfolio "hygiene," investor psychology alignment, rule-based decision making, and tax-loss harvesting strategies. We explore assesing holdings as if investing fresh today, managing oversized winners and stagnant losers, watching natural market turning points around year-end, while also exploring inflation trends, shrinkflation, housing affordability, and generational cost pressures. We also urge listeners to use the final weeks of the year to review risks, taxes, family financial clarity, and opportunities ahead. Thoughtful preparation, not momentum or emotion, drives long-term investment success. We discuss... The importance of year-end portfolio assessment, emphasizing reviewing holdings as if investing fresh today to determine alignment with investor psychology. Manage oversized winners, stagnant losers, and follow disciplined, rule-based investment practices rather than ego-driven decisions. Tax-loss harvesting is a key strategy, including the special advantage that crypto is treated as property and not subject to the 30-day wash-sale rule. Monitoring natural market turning points, particularly around year-end, to identify potential buying opportunities in beaten-down assets. Gold's leadership in the rally, silver's sharp recent gains, and the implications of JP Morgan shifting from short to long silver positions. Basel III banking regulations and the possibility of global banks increasing gold holdings if U.S. deficits rise above projected thresholds. Strategies for buying gold and silver, emphasizing buying for weight to minimize premiums and potentially profiting from historical spreads in coin pricing. Have caution with rare coin premiums, only experienced investors should consider numismatic factors, otherwise stick to weight-based purchases. Inflation indicators, using Campbell's Soup can pricing as a proxy for quality-adjusted inflation over decades. Shrinkflation and the rising cost of essentials for younger generations, noting housing, insurance, and other expenses have outpaced wages.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Brandon Thor, founder of Thor's Metals Group, the fastest-growing precious metals group in the U.S. Brandon shares why gold and silver often aren't top of mind for investors—and why they should, especially in today's economic climate.

This episode of MSD features a conversation with Rob Sinn about market psychology and key themes heading into 2026. The Trevor and Rob analyze the recent consolidation mode in precious metals, noting that gold has been consolidating below the $4,400 resistance level after a correction back in October. A major topic of speculation is the appointment of the next Federal Reserve Chairman, with the choice between Warsh and Hassett expected to significantly impact the trajectory of metals and mining markets, potentially leading to varied levels of rate cuts and market corrections. The conversation also covers investment themes like the projected loss of Federal Reserve autonomy and the quiet nature of tax-loss selling in 2025, while highlighting specific mining stocks like Ramp, Aztec, and Talon Metals that possess strong potential catalysts for the new year.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Aaron Lowry about the shifting landscape of attention, technology, and meaning—moving through themes like treasure-hunt metaphors for human cognition, relevance realization, the evolution of observational tools, decentralization, blockchain architectures such as Cardano, sovereignty in computation, the tension between scarcity and abundance, bioelectric patterning inspired by Michael Levin's research, and the broader cultural and theological currents shaping how we interpret reality. You can follow Aaron's work and ongoing reflections on X at aaron_lowry.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00:00 Stewart and Aaron open with the treasure-hunt metaphor, salience landscapes, and how curiosity shapes perception. 00:05:00 They explore shifting observational tools, Hubble vs James Webb, and how data reframes what we think is real. 00:10:00 The conversation moves to relevance realization, missing “Easter eggs,” and the posture of openness. 00:15:00 Stewart reflects on AI, productivity, and feeling pulled deeper into computers instead of freed from them. 00:20:00 Aaron connects this to monetary policy, scarcity, and technological pressure. 00:25:00 They examine voice interfaces, edge computing, and trust vs convenience. 00:30:00 Stewart shares experiments with Raspberry Pi, self-hosting, and escaping SaaS dependence. 00:35:00 They discuss open-source, China's strategy, and the economics of free models. 00:40:00 Aaron describes building hardware–software systems and sensor-driven projects. 00:45:00 They turn to blockchain, UTXO vs account-based, node sovereignty, and Cardano. 00:50:00 Discussion of decentralized governance, incentives, and transparency. 00:55:00 Geopolitics enters: BRICS, dollar reserve, private credit, and institutional fragility. 01:00:00 They reflect on the meaning crisis, gnosticism, reductionism, and shattered cohesion. 01:05:00 Michael Levin, bioelectric patterning, and vertical causation open new biological and theological frames. 01:10:00 They explore consciousness as fundamental, Stephen Wolfram, and the limits of engineered solutions. 01:15:00 Closing thoughts on good-faith orientation, societal transformation, and the pull toward wilderness.Key InsightsCuriosity restructures perception. Aaron frames reality as something we navigate more like a treasure hunt than a fixed map. Our “salience landscape” determines what we notice, and curiosity—not rigid frameworks—keeps us open to signals we would otherwise miss. This openness becomes a kind of existential skill, especially in a world where data rarely aligns cleanly with our expectations.Our tools reshape our worldview. Each technological leap—from Hubble to James Webb—doesn't just increase resolution; it changes what we believe is possible. Old models fail to integrate new observations, revealing how deeply our understanding depends on the precision and scope of our instruments.Technology increases pressure rather than reducing it. Even as AI boosts productivity, Stewart notices it pulling him deeper into computers. Aaron argues this is systemic: productivity gains don't free us; they raise expectations, driven by monetary policy and a scarcity-based economic frame.Digital sovereignty is becoming essential. The conversation highlights the tension between convenience and vulnerability. Cloud-based AI creates exposure vectors into personal life, while running local hardware—Raspberry Pis, custom Linux systems—restores autonomy but requires effort and skill.Blockchain architecture determines decentralization. Aaron emphasizes the distinction between UTXO and account-based systems, arguing that UTXO architectures (Bitcoin, Cardano) support verifiable edge participation, while account-based chains accumulate unwieldy state and centralize validation over time.Institutional trust is eroding globally. From BRICS currency moves to private credit schemes, both note how geopolitical maneuvers signal institutional fragility. The “few men in a room” dynamic persists, but now under greater stress, driving more people toward decentralization and self-reliance.Biology may operate on deeper principles than genes. Michael Levin's work on bioelectric patterning opens the door to “vertical causation”—higher-level goals shaping lower-level processes. This challenges reductionism and hints at a worldview where consciousness, meaning, and biological organization may be intertwined in ways neither materialism nor traditional theology fully capture.

Signs of a slowing economy, and speculation of a very dovish new Federal Reserve chairman in May 2026, are behind the futures market pricing in substantial rate cuts over the next year. Historically, substantially lower rates weaken the dollar and boost precious metals. Silver has made a new high and has formed what is arguably the most bullish technical pattern, William O'Neil's “cup and handle” formation. On the technology front, Alphabet's low-cost semiconductors present unexpected competition for Nvidia. Things like that will determine the performance of technology companies' share prices for the foreseeable future. Longer term, the “Holy Grail” that technology companies seek is Artificial General Intelligence - AI that thinks like a human. Its impact to humanity could be very beneficial, or deeply detrimental.
