Someone messaged us this week and asked a simple question. How’s Gold. Buy or sell. We get versions of this every day but this one came at an interesting moment. Gold just pulled back about 10% since the Iran conflict began. Oil is dropping. The US just made a major strategic move in the Strait…

We have been making the case for physical gold for years, but AI is creating a new reason to own it that we think will become the most important one of all. Counterparty risk. Paper markets breaking. The LME cancelling $12 billion in nickel trades. Those have always been strong arguments for owning physical gold.…

We get asked this constantly. And our answer right now is yes. We believe silver is a good investment in Canada even though the price has gone from around $40 CAD to over $100 CAD in a relatively short period. A lot of people look at that move and think they missed it. They did…

Most people who buy a safe to store silver at home do not realize there is a difference between a regular fire rated safe and one that is built to resist a break-in. A standard fireproof safe from a big box store is designed to keep paper documents from burning. That is it. The fire…

We are getting this question a lot right now, should I sell my gold now? Gold pulled back from its highs, the Iran war has rattled the market, and people who bought gold over the last year are watching the price chop around and wondering if they should take profits before things get worse. Our…

When people think about buying silver they rarely think about what it takes to sell silver in Canada down the road. They spend almost no time thinking about how they are going to sell. And then when the moment comes, whether they need the cash, they are rebalancing, or they have decided to exit a…

Counterfeits exist in this market and anyone telling you otherwise is not paying attention. We have seen fake bars, fake coins, and silver-plated junk come through our door from customers who bought from the wrong source and did not realize what they had until they tried to sell. It is not a huge percentage of…

If you are looking for an online Canadian bullion dealer you are going to end up choosing between a handful of options. The choices can feel overwhelming at first, especially if you have never bought physical metals before. Everyone claims to have the best prices and the best service and the most trusted reputation. So…

We are writing this on day six of the US-Israel war against Iran. Things are moving fast and a lot of what we say here could be overtaken by events before you read it. That is the nature of writing about a live conflict. But we think the framework matters more than the specifics and…

Most people who buy silver never think about what it took to get that bar or coin into their hands. And honestly, you do not need to know the chemistry to be a smart buyer. But understanding the basics of silver refining gives you a much clearer picture of why purity levels exist, why some…

If you have read anything else on this site you have probably noticed we talk about the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf a lot. There is a reason for that. It is the coin we recommend more than any other and it is not close. We handle these coins every day. We sell them, we buy…

I hear this one constantly. How much silver should I own? And every article out there gives you some version of “5 to 15 percent of your portfolio” like that number means anything without context. It does not. It is a lazy answer to a question that deserves a real one. The truth is the…

I probably get asked this more than anything else. Silver vs gold, which one do I start with. And people expect a simple answer but it is not that simple because it depends on things that have nothing to do with the metals themselves. It depends on your budget. It depends on how much space…

If you want to buy silver in Canada but you have been going back and forth about it for a while now, you are not alone. Maybe weeks. Maybe months. And every time you look into it you end up more confused than when you started. I hear this from people all the time. So…

I get asked this all the time. Silver bars vs silver coins, which one should I buy? And honestly, the answer is not complicated. But people overthink it because there is a lot of noise out there, and most of it comes from sites that just want you to click “add to cart” without understanding…

Over the night we decided to start buying precious metals on a pullback that we think has further to go. For context, this follows what we discussed in our recent update on what we are doing after the big silver drop. Oil has started to roll over, down about 2.5 percent on the week, but…

When you ask is it time to sell my silver, you are usually not asking about silver. You are asking about your plan. Silver does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of a bigger picture: your risk tolerance, your macro view, and whether you bought this as insurance, a trade, or got caught…

Precious Metals Are Still Sliding Gold is down another 4 percent and silver roughly 6 percent on the CAD charts going into Monday. Even the stock market is down about 1 percent. This kind of continued weakness is actually good for me. I want the market to settle and find its footing before stepping back…

One of the Biggest Single-Day Drops in Years Silver just saw one of the most extreme single day moves in recent memory, dropping more than 34 percent in Canadian dollars. For most people, a move like this feels alarming. For me, it fits perfectly into the bigger picture I’ve been outlining for months. Context Behind…

Why We Are Talking About Interest Rates and Gold Right Now Recently, we pitched our views to Yahoo Finance as part of an effort to be included in a piece on where interest rates and loan costs might head in 2026.

What if the public fallout between two of the world’s most powerful figures, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, were not what they seem?

The Canadian government is quietly pushing forward with a new law that could fundamentally reshape the way Canadians use money—and the consequences could be far-reaching for those who value financial freedom. A recent Rebel News video exposed a provision buried deep in Bill C-2 that aims to criminalize cash transactions over $10,000, even when conducted…

A viral video caught fire on X recently. A Venezuelan immigrant in Canada warned that everything happening here now is what happened in Venezuela 20 years ago. Step by step. A script from communism. Strong words. And we are not going to sit here and tell you Canada is Venezuela. It is not. But we…

Trying to time the market is a losing game. You wait for the perfect dip, it never comes, and six months later prices are higher. Or you buy what you think is the bottom and it keeps falling. I have watched people do this for years. They end up owning nothing because they were always…

Imagine a world where inflation works in your favour—where it doesn’t stem from reckless government spending or money printing, but from a strategic move that could lighten the burden of national debt while boosting economic stability. This is the bold vision unfolding under President Trump’s aggressive tariff policy, which imposes a minimum ten percent tariff…

This correction comes just as I predicted in my recent article, “The Markets Are at a Tipping Point: Overextension Signals an Impending Correction”, a big pullback was coming—and it’s here. I thought gold would…

The financial markets are showing unmistakable signs of strain, and it’s hard to ignore the mounting evidence. Valuations are high, economic momentum is fading, and key indicators like oil prices and stock market volatility are pointing to a correction on the horizon. Even gold and silver, often seen as safe bets, might not dodge the…

For decades, Fort Knox has been at the center of speculation and intrigue, with rumors circulating about whether its massive gold reserves are truly intact.

Key Takeaways: Gold expert David Merkur, known for accurately predicting a gold price drop following Trump’s election victory due to optimism surrounding the new administration’s economic policies, has now shifted to a bullish stance. Merkur’s earlier call, highlighted in Gold Silver Mart’s article on selling gold, was based on expectations of increased economic stability and…

When Donald Trump won the presidency, I speculated that fresh economic optimism would lead to a drop in gold prices, as his policies seemed poised to usher in a new era of economic stability, higher interest rates, and reduced geopolitical tensions. This perspective was detailed in my article “Gold Investors Selling Due to Trump Victory:…

Economic Optimism is Causing Gold Skepticism With Trump’s recent victory in the election, the appeal of gold may be decreasing. This is because the U.S economy is experiencing fresh optimism, which is why you should carefully consider buying or holding gold for the time being. How a Thriving Economy Impacts Gold Historically times of economic…
