Gold's image is changing fast. 🪙Even the most mainstream financial voices, once dismissive of gold, are now taking it seriously. The sneers are gone, and gold is no longer a fringe hedge but a crowded trade. Whether you love it or not, ignoring gold now comes with risk. Here's why sentiment has shifted.

The forces that drove gold to $3,500 are still in play warns Lobo Tiggre. Despite Trump softening his tone and backing off on threats like firing Fed Chair Powell, he remains focused on China tariffs.

Empty container ships sitting in China will cause a delayed financial impact. The storm hasn’t passed.

Did you know Salt Lake City was once the heart of a uranium stock frenzy in the 1950s? Early investors helped fuel the atomic age, and now, in 2025, Utah’s mining legacy is back in the spotlight.

With China restricting mineral exports, the U.S. is turning to Utah’s rich deposits of lithium, uranium, and more. History is repeating itself - in a whole new way.

For example, Compass Minerals has announced lithium extraction from Great Salt Lake brines with a goal of producing ~11,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) annually by 2025.

Are tariffs always inflationary? Not so fast.
Aaron Hoddinott challenges the lazy economic narrative that tariffs are inflationary and explores how Trump’s tariffs in 2018 didn’t raise prices—they reshaped global supply chains, strengthened the U.S. dollar, and even set the stage for deflationary effects. If you’re an investor or just tired of shallow takes, this one’s for you.

📉 In just a century, global fertility rates have been cut in half — and it’s not slowing down. As fewer kids are born worldwide, three ideological camps emerge: degrowthers, technocrats, and culture-shifting iconoclasts like Elon Musk. Can this trend be reversed? Or is a childless future for most our new reality? 🤖🌍

Is the Federal Reserve cornered, and could its next move reshape markets for years to come?
