Silver Up 116% YTD - Not a Typo!
Silver Up 116% YTD - Not a Typo!

Silver is yet again outperforming nearly every asset class.

Silver prices are showing no signs of a top yet, and the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) can indicate just how high prices will go.

Right now, the gold–silver ratio sits around 68 to 1, well down from the highs of 100 to 1 earlier this year, and below the "magic number" of 80. 

Here's why it's important: history shows that when the ratio begins to narrow, silver tends to surge. If a typical high for the GSR is above 80 to 1, the historical lows of the ratio are between 30-50 to 1.

That means, even if gold stays at $4,300, silver could easily reach $86 -$143 an oz. before the end of this precious metals bull market.

Last year, silver was roughly $29 an oz. around this time... imagine silver at 4-5x that amount in a few years' time.

As gold continues to rise, silver will rise even higher.

Yet, demand is projected to drop by 4-5% year-over-year for 2025.

The surprising lack of demand means that many investors are missing out.

The silver spot price hit a new record high above $64 an oz. last week, yet investors have continued selling their silver now that it's at all-time highs. Despite a small increase in demand for U.S. investors, retailers have had to contend with sizable retail investor liquidations in 2025. 

The crazy thing is that these investors are missing is the profit potential in silver.

They're bailing too early on a historic rally.

Silver increased 19% in November, 3.3% in October, and 15% in September. And the rally is poised to continue as the London bull market is now undergoing a historical squeeze.

Demand is starting to shift, but there is still time to get in before silver goes higher. Don't delay if buying has been on your mind.

Want to know something even crazier?

Normally, 1 oz. Silver American Eagles tend to be one of the highest premium sovereign silver coins in bullion, YET today they're way down compared to other coins, and simply the best option in silver bullion at this time.

It's a highly unusual and limited opportunity worth your consideration.

So, take advantage with our exclusive pricing on backdated 1 oz. Silver Eagles for just $2.29 over spot!

A retirement portfolio can be at risk from several factors, including market volatility, inflation, and interest rates.

Gold's Rally is Nothing Less Than Incredible
Gold's Rally is Nothing Less Than Incredible

Above $4,200, gold continues to build in this final month of 2025, starting the first week of December with a strong performance.

Despite a pullback this fall, gold gained:

  • 6.5% in November
  • 3.2% in October
  • 10% in September

It’s up 61% so far in 2025, eclipsing last year's gains of 27%.

This rally is nothing less than incredible.

And it's not done yet...

Investors are banking on another rate cut this week as the Fed prepares for the next FOMC meeting.

That expectation is already fueling the rally in precious metals and lifting equities.
 
But if the Fed surprises and deviates from what investors are pricing in, we could see a swift, broad-based pullback in both metals and stocks as positions are unwound.

As investors wait to see what will happen, premiums have dropped on one of the most popular coins in all of bullion— the Gold American Eagle.

Eagle premiums tend to be higher than any sovereign gold coin on the market. Most of the time, investors can expect to pay 5-7% over the gold spot price.

But for a brief window in time, they're attainable at just about 2% over spot.

It's actually kind of insane...

But this premium reduction will likely be short-lived and spot prices continue to rise. So don't wait!

Perspective

Gold at Six Week Highs
Gold at Six Week Highs

It's the final weeks of 2025. Invest smart.

  • Gold is rallying to six-week highs.
  • Silver is climbing to new record highs.
  • The U.S. dollar is falling.

While many investors are turning their attention to family and fun as the winter holidays loom large on the horizon, there is still a chance to make strong market moves before the end of the year.

The recent decline in the dollar is supportive for gold, making it less expensive to buy for holders of other currencies.

The anticipated interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve is also considered bullish for gold. Most investors are expecting the third rate cut in a row next week. 

And with further market volatility and geopolitical instability ahead, and western investors just starting to get into the market... both the short-term and long-term outlook for precious metals is bright.

Gold is up 61% this year, eclipsing the 27% it gained in 2024.

Silver is up 95% this year after rising 21% last year.

The calendar year may be drawing to a close, but there is still time to firm up your portfolio in 2025, and set yourself up for an even brighter 2026.

And we want to give you a head start...

We're offering exclusive pricing with a presale on 2026 Gold and Silver Eagles.

  • 1 oz. 2026 Gold American Eagles at $249 over spot

Let's face it, the current consolidation phase for gold won't last forever.

After pulling back, gold has essentially steadied above the all-important (both psychologically and technically) $4,000 an oz. level.

Gold is up 56% this year, but it could end 2025 going even higher.

Investors now see a 70% chance of a rate cut at the Fed's next meeting in December, after New York Fed President John Williams on Friday said interest rates may still be cut in the near term.

In this bull market, investors have relied heavily on the movements of the Fed to inform their gold buying, and a rate cut in December would be decidedly bullish.

In fact, it may be the kick in the pants that the gold spot price needs to jump into the next phase of the bull market.

Whether a rate cut in December is the trigger, or another factor comes into play, gold will continue to rise.

If you were kicking yourself for not buying at $3,000, and are still on the fence at $4,000... don't make the mistake of waiting...

Don't miss this: take advantage of exclusive pricing on 1 oz. Gold American Eagles at $149 over spot today and tomorrow!

Building Your Retirement Safety Net
Building Your Retirement Safety Net

It is typical for younger investors to hold riskier portfolios than older investors because the young typically rely more on income and less on financial wealth to support their consumption. During the accumulation stage of the portfolio, investors tend to take on riskier asset classes for the profit potential. 

You're Insane If You Can't See The Value Here
You're Insane If You Can't See The Value Here

In case you haven't noticed, the premiums on 90% Junk Silver have been ridiculous lately.

Ridiculously low, that is.

Well below spot.

Even more ridiculous... no investors seem to be taking advantage of the fire sale.

And to be honest, we're a bit confounded.

Silver is back above $50 an oz., already signaling the end of the pullback that came at the heels of a massive rally. It's up a whopping 74% YTD.

Easily divisible, instantly recognizable, and highly liquid, junk silver has been a perennial favorite of ASI clients, but we're currently hearing crickets.

The surprising lack of demand means that investors are missing out on THE best opportunity in precious metals right now.

The silver spot price hit a record high of $54.48 on October 17, yet demand is expected to drop by 4-5% year-over-year. You see, investors have been selling their silver now that it's at all-time highs. Despite a small increase in demand for U.S. investors, retailers have had to contend with sizable retail investor liquidations in 2025. 

But what investors are missing is the profit potential in silver.

Silver prices are showing no signs of a top, and the Gold-Silver Ratio (GSR) can indicate just how high prices will go.

Right now, the gold–silver ratio sits around 88 to 1 — down from over 100 to 1 earlier this year, but still historically high above 80. That means silver is undervalued compared to gold.

Here's why it's important: history shows that when the ratio begins to compress towards the end of a bull market cycle, silver tends to surge. If a typical high for the GSR is above 80 to 1, the historical lows of the ratio are between 30-50 to 1.

That means, even if gold stays at $4,000, silver could reach these levels before the end of this precious metals bull market:

50 to 1: $80/oz. Silver
40 to 1: $100/oz. Silver
30 to 1: $133/oz. Silver

That's INSANE potential, nearly doubling the current value of silver at a minimum.

If gold continues to rise (which is all but definite), silver's peak will be even higher.

I don't think the case for buying silver can be stated any clearer.

Don't be one of those investors that misses out on THE best opportunity in precious metals right now.

Make the right move: take advantage of our exclusive pricing on 90% Silver Dimes & Quarters at -$2.00 BELOW spot and 90% Silver Halves at -$1.75 BELOW spot! PLUS, receive a free 1 oz. Silver Eagle for every $100 Face Value you buy!

Maximizing 2025 Tax Benefits with Precious Metals
Maximizing 2025 Tax Benefits with Precious Metals

Think of precious metals in your IRA as the marathon runners of your portfolio—they're in it for the long haul, just like your retirement strategy.

You can even include precious metals like gold, silver, platinum and palladium in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Self-directed IRAs make it possible—and, fun fact, we’ve been guiding clients through the precious metal maze since the IRS first gave the green light nearly 40 years ago.

Signs of a Weakening Economy
Signs of a Weakening Economy

Despite new signs that the government shutdown is nearing an end, investors reacted more strongly to signs of an economy in turmoil.

Evidence that the economy is weakening:

  • U.S. consumer sentiment fell to almost the lowest level on record
  • U.S. lost the largest number of jobs in more than 20 years in October
  • Investor uncertainty over higher prices
  • U.S. household debt hits new record as delinquencies rise
  • U.S. Dollar Index has fallen significantly in 2025

The good news is that weakness in the labor market is increasing investor speculation that the Fed may cut interest rates again next month. Lower interest rates are traditionally bullish for the gold market, making the yellow metal a more attractive alternate investment.

Which means the pullback in gold and silver—and the buying opportunity that comes with it—may be over soon.

Despite the pullback, gold ended October up 3.2% last month, adding to August and September gains. It’s up 52% this year.

And all signs point to a sustained gold bull market.

So don't miss out on gold at these price levels, just under $4,100 an ounce.

The turmoil is far from over.

And this time next year, we anticipate the gold spot price to be much, much higher.
