from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
Kerry Lutz and David Erfle discuss the current state of the gold and silver markets, with Erfle predicting a 15% correction in gold after its strong 18-month rally. He expects gold to stabilize between $2,700 and $3,000, while silver, showing resilience, may be poised to catch up due to its undervaluation relative to gold. They explore how geopolitical tensions, rising corporate debt, and the shift of China and Japan from buyers to sellers of U.S. debt are fueling uncertainty, ultimately benefiting precious metals. Erfle also highlights increased merger activity in the silver mining sector, such as Pan American’s acquisition of MagSilver, and expresses optimism for junior mining stocks. The conversation wraps up with insights into the U.S. credit situation’s impact on Canada and the acceleration of mining projects in British Columbia amid global instability.

Are you ready to pay 80 percent more for a USB-C cord? Unfortunately, Walmart, Target and other major retailers have decided to start dramatically raising the prices of thousands of imported products. Of course our paychecks are not going up dramatically as well, and so our standard of living is going to go down. We live at a time when 70 percent of Americans are already more financially stressed than they have ever been before, and now big corporations are going to be hitting us with a tsunami of enormous price hikes.
