Cooking the Books! How Government Data Makes Things Seem Better Than They Are
The government spits out all kinds of economic data. Policymakers use it to make policy.
But is it good data?
Not so much.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey explains how the government cooks the books using biased data, highlighting a recent revision to the Fed's "favorite" inflation measure.
These formulas matter because the government can use the cooked data to make things seem better (or worse) than they actually are.

To Hike or Not to Hike? This Is the Question! (But Does the Answer Really Matter?)
It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Federal Reserve will nudge interest rates higher at the September meeting.
But should it?
What are the potential impacts?
And would such a move really be negative for gold and silver?
This week, Money Metals Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey takes on these questions. He explains the pros and cons of a rate hike, why the mainstream has accepted higher rates as the path forward, and why it's not nearly as bearish for precious metals as you're being led to believe.

Gold or Dollars? It's a Question of Trust!
The debasement trade continues to gain momentum with more countries and investors spurning dollars for gold.

Where's the Off-Ramp? Can This Gold Bull Market Run Forever?
Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh talked gold and silver down during his Jackson Hole speech, playing the tough guy facing down inflation.
But as Mike Maharrey reminds listeners in this week's Midweek Memo, Warsh & Co. still hasn't done a darn thing to tackle inflation.
Why not?
Mike says the Fed is stuck on a highway with no off-ramp. It's traveling in a direction it doesn't really want to go because the debt black hole is dominating the economy.
In this episode, Mike explains the 40 trillion reasons for the lack of...

The Wrong Message: Treasury Buyback Juices Debasement Trade, Boosts Gold and Silver
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced plans to buy back long-dated Treasuries to lower yields. The markets got a different message. The Treasury move reignited the debasement trade and sent both gold and silver sharply higher.

Meanwhile, some people regret missing out on the last gold bull run. If you're one of them, Mike explains why it's not too late to get in on the next move...

How the Debt Black Hole Is Warping the Economy: Private Credit Edition

Dollar dominance is eroding.

A Vote of No Confidence! Are Markets Losing Faith in the Fed's Inflation Fight?
A Vote of No Confidence! Are the Markets Losing Faith in the Fed's Inflation Fight?
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh and his minions are talking tough on inflation. But they haven't done anything.
At the July Fed meeting, the central bank elected to hold rates steady for the sixth time, despite price inflation remaining persistently well above the stated 2 percent target. Based on the market reaction, investors are beginning to think the Fed is surrendering to inflation and will not raise rates again.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks a...
Cracks Inside the Fed: Is It Good or Bad for Gold?
In this week's interview, Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors, believes we're about to see some real movement in the gold market and you'll certainly want to hear which direction he believes it'll be heading next over the upcoming months.
Conspiracy Theory: How Much Gold Do the U.S. and China Really Have?
Officially, the U.S. has far more gold than China.
But does it really?
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey explains why there is reason to doubt this claim. In fact, we don't really know how much gold the U.S. or China holds. We have official claims, but the U.S. refuses to audit its reserves, so there could be far less than advertised. And it's evident China is accumulating gold faster than it claims.
Why this dichotomy? And what are the ramifications?

And Now...The Rest of the (Inflation) Story!
If you followed the headlines, you know that the June CPI report was even cooler than expected. This generated optimism that maybe, just maybe, the Fed is finally getting inflation under control.
But there's more to the story.
In this episode of the Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey tells you the rest of the story, revealing that despite falling CPI, inflation is alive and well. On top of that, the good CPI news may green-light even more inflation.

Reality Check!
The perception is that gold has tanked through the first half of the year.
In fact, the yellow metal isn't down nearly as much as you probably think.
The perception is that the new Federal Reserve chairman will keep monetary policy tight to fight inflation.
In fact, the Debt Black Hole may have something else to say about that.
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey provides a reality check, showing that gold's correction isn't nearly as steep as you might think and throwing cold water on the notion th...

Want Liberty? Get Gold!
The political class wants you to hate gold. That's why politicians and their enablers in the mainstream media and academia constantly badmouth it.
But have you noticed that government people actually love gold? You don't need to look any further than the recent central bank gold-buying spree to make this case.
So, why does the political class want to have gold, but it doesn't want you to have gold?
Control.
As host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, you are harder to control when you have sou...

Warsh Takes the Reins at the Fed: What's Next?
There's a new boss over at the Federal Reserve.
Is he going to be any different than the old boss?
Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey delved into that question this week. He notes that Warsh certainly sounds different. But he's stepping into the same situation that Jerome Powell left. Mike explains why that will likely limit Warsh's options, meaning the old new boss may end up acting just like the old boss when it's all said and done.
Mike also highlights the ever-growing Debt Black hole by breaking down the May federal budget d...
