@thesolarireport: A Core Position in Gold Is a Good Idea—the Dollar Is for Transactions, But It’s No Longer a Store of Value "Gold and the War for Financial Control with Andy Schectman" Recent events in Washington, on Wall Street, and in Iran raise many questions—about energy prices, supply chains, and unipolar bullying, among other things—but they also highlight central bankers’ accelerating efforts to build an airtight financial control system. Gold remains an important part of the story. This week, I am pleased to welcome Andy Schectman to the Solari Report for the first time. Founder and owner of Miles Franklin Precious Metals (a leader in the international precious metals market since 1989) and Miles Franklin Media, Schectman is someone who grasps the dangers of financial transaction control and programmable money and is able to intelligently discuss precious metals investments with those risks in mind. He interviewed me on Miles Franklin Media in January. Schectman and I begin by looking at the precious metals markets in the context of the war in Iran, discussing Iran as a point of “leakage” in the financial control system and a thorn in the central bankers’ side. Addressing the question that many people are currently asking about precious metals—“Should I buy now?”—we revisit the distinction between a core position and investment position. From there, we turn our attention to recent developments on the programmable money and asset tokenization front at both the federal and state levels. We remind you that the Solari Report has an extensive library of resources on precious metals, and we renew our warning never to invest in them unless you have taken the time to educate yourself and know how to distinguish between reputable dealers and scammers and determine market prices so as not to transact at inflated prices. #gold #energy #oilprices #iran #preciousmetals
