- Gold Isn’t an Investment. It’s Money | James Turk
It’s my pleasure to sit down with with the man who “gold pilled” me back in the day with his book, The Collapse of the Dollar . Share James Turk , founder of GoldMoney, has spent five decades working in banking, finance and investments, making the case that gold is not an investment or another commodity, but money in its purest form. We discuss why he believes the US can no longer repeat the Volcker rescue of the 1980s, the relationship between sound money and liberty, and why he expects gold eventually to return to the centre of global commerce as technology changes the way money moves…
- Silver’s Brutal Reversal, and the Mine I’m Betting On
After an extraordinary run which started in 2022 below US$20/oz and ended in January this year at US$122, silver has been working its way downwards. We have had a correction of almost 50%. Today we’re at $58/oz having been as low as $55 in July. We are almost certainly going to go back and retest that low, I would say, and silver is very much in a downtrend. $50 has been a huge line in the sand that goes all the way back to 1980 and for decades silver could not get above that number. Then, late last year, it cut through it like butter. What was resistance becomes support is one of the…
- Gold Will Do Things You Can't Even Imagine | Frank Giustra
Share Good Sunday to you, We have a fantastic interview for you today. I sit down with legendary Canadian investor Frank Giustra to discuss gold, government debt and why he believes the world is entering the most dangerous geopolitical period of our lifetime. You can either watch the video or listen as a podcast via Spotify et al. Frank made his fortune in mining and natural resources, before founding Lionsgate Films, the world’s biggest independent film studio. His track record as a businessman and investor is superlative. We discuss why he believes this is no ordinary metals bull market…
- The Problem With Owning Anything
I don’t know if it’s my own little online bubble, but every time I open my phone at the moment I am being swamped with bearishness and negativity. Never mind all the political and social stuff, it’s financial as well. The problem I have is that a lot of the bearish arguments are well reasoned. In a nutshell: too much concentration in the S&P 500, which under the surface is looking very mucky, bond yields too high and too much government spending. Given that governments everywhere are running such unsustainable deficits, the chances of a sovereign debt crisis are very real. The cost of their…
- You're Poorer Than They Tell You
John James Cowperthwaite Good Sunday to you, I have a lot of charts for you today, and fascinating ones too, but we begin with a little story. John James Cowperthwaite was the financial secretary who oversaw Hong Kong’s extraordinary growth in the 30 or so years after World War Two. It was one of the greatest periods of economic expansion the world had ever seen. I’m not sure it has ever been equalled. In the span of little more than a generation, this tiny territory with no significant natural resources to speak of went from shanty town with a refugee problem and a GDP per capita below $300…
- Trying to make sense of everything
The yields on 10-year US treasuries are rising. They’ve hit their highest level in nearly 20 years. What does that even mean? And more importantly what are the implications? A lot of people are getting their knickers in a twist. And why has gold’s promising little rally hit a wall? And what about UK gilts, they’ve rocketed slap bang in the middle of the Labour Party conference, when they’re all promising more spending. Make it make sense. If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver . The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The…
- The 2.5% Deposit Trap
There are so many ways to bring down the cost of new build in the UK, chief among them reduced regulation, planning and taxation. So I was most disappointed, putting it mildly, to see Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s new initiative, Your First Home, which will give government-backed equity loans of 20% to first time buyers, who will now be able to buy new build property with just a 2.5% deposit. Initially, that 20% will be interest-free. This is just another means to saddle young people with debt. As if student loans weren’t bad enough. Unlike period property, new build struggles to keep its…
- They’re Coming for Your Money. Don’t Let Them Take It.
Good morning to you and a big welcome to the many new subscribers, both paid and unpaid, who have joined the Flying Frisby this week.

(Any issues getting hold of it, DM me or reply to this email - paid subscribers only).

- Odyssey, Bitcoin & the Three-Pinter
Good Sunday to you, I finally went to see Odyssey last night. I’d been intending not to, after everything I’d read on X, but my daughter persuaded me, and I actually quite enjoyed it. Maybe not an A+ movie, but a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours. I didn’t feel violated by all the casting, in the way that purists were, although Helen should have been stunningly beautiful, which she wasn’t. To use the parlance of the incel rugby player, she was a three-pinter. And what people see in Zendeya, who plays Athena, remains a mystery to me. Given that Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom I would…
- 1. My Ten Largest Gold-Mining Positions
I have a whopper of a report for you today. But before we begin, I want to warn you about something that is extremely concerning. As I’m sure you know, over the years, somebody has been repeatedly impersonating me in order to scam people who read or watch my stuff. They have now gone up a level and created an AI mock up of me with which they are now conducting video calls. One reader sent me this video message they received. Yes, it’s a bit crap - my shirts aren’t that well ironed - but some people’s detection of AI is not as good as others, and people who don’t know me well could easily fall…
- Oil, Bitcoin, Pineapples & Liz Truss
Good Sunday to you, Keep those long oil positions. I can’t pretend to be an authority on Middle Eastern geopolitics, but the control the Houthi rebels now have over the Yemen Red Sea coast, together with the closure of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, look pretty significant to me, and not in a good way. Meanwhile, I have lots to share today, starting with this week’s commentary. We are going into the buy zone for the next bitcoin cycle and, if you haven’t already, I think you should be aiming to have your long positions in place by November-December. There’s nothing worse than being on the…
- How to Play the Next Bitcoin Cycle
Bitcoin is both vo latile and cyclical. You get periods of extraordinary gains. But then you get periods of extraordinary losses. But … If you can buy during low points in the cycle, that volatility can work in your favour. And the house view is that we are within a month or two of the low point right here and now. It might be that the very low was on July 1st at $58,000. It might be that we need to give that price one more retest this autumn. Either way you want to be sure that by November-December, if you haven’t already, you have your long position in place, ready for the next run. There…
