Episode notes
Smart Money vs. Retail Liquidations
- Record ETF inflows can coexist with heavy crypto selling and large liquidations, showing institutional demand doesn't immediately stop price reversals.
- Dave Weisberger highlights that leverage-driven breakouts often fail until liquidity and leverage dynamics change.
Silver's Rally Signals Real-World Shortage
- Silver's surge toward $94 reflects both industrial demand and monetary speculation, tightening physical availability and mint premiums.
- Dave Weisberger and Mark note US Mint premiums signal real retail scarcity or pricing distortions in the physical market.

- If you hold silver after a large move, be mindful it is more mercurial than gold and may be riskier for slow-value plays.
- Mark advises greater confidence in gold and Bitcoin's slow appreciation versus silver's volatility.
