How to Play the Current Gold Boom Both gold and silver recently hit new all-time highs... Just this week, gold crossed the $4,900-per-ounce mark while silver surpassed $96 per ounce. For reference, these metals were trading around $4,300 and $70, respectively, when 2025 ended. So these are huge price jumps in less than a month. The main catalyst driving the quick rise is ongoing geopolitical tensions. For a while, President Donald Trump was threatening a trade war with Europe to force a deal on Greenland. Though Trump has since walked back those threats, investors are still fearful that he could change his mind again at any time or that Europe could retaliate. And in the longer term, another factor pushing precious metals higher is, of course, a weakening U.S. dollar. Since peaking in January 2025, the dollar has lost more than 10% of its value. So investors are flocking to the safety of gold and silver as the dollar sinks lower. I warned you about this last year, and I'll remind you again now: This devaluation of the U.S. dollar is exactly what Trump wants. And things could get even worse thanks to the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" – a planned financial reset. In the simplest of terms, Trump needs a much weaker dollar to make U.S. exports cheaper and more competitive globally. To do this, the U.S. Treasury Department could "revalue" gold for the first time since 1973. Such a move could take the precious metal from its current official government price of about $42 an ounce to where it's trading today – around $4,900. Or the government could choose to go even higher... potentially revaluing gold for as much as $27,000 an ounce. Unfortunately, the consequences would be disastrous for everyday folks... The last time such a financial reset happened, Americans who had their savings in cash lost almost half their wealth in just two years... inflation rose, causing the cost of living to soar... and banks didn't increase interest rates at a fast enough rate to compensate for the inflation. It was a catastrophe. And if you don't take action now to protect your wealth, you're at risk of all of this happening to you. I covered these details in a special presentation last year, but the info is just as relevant today as it was then... I went in-depth on the Mar-a-Lago Accord and what it means for individual investors, the historic precedent of a gold revaluation, and my No. 1 gold stock that could earn you 500% to 1,000% returns as the yellow metal continues moving upward. Yes, gold has already risen exponentially in a short period. But I expect it to go even higher from here. You haven't missed all the gains. And with the Mar-a-Lago Accord still looming, now is a crucial time to protect yourself. Don't be a victim. Click here to get all the details.

January 24, 2026 Reader question of the week... Q: I have a question about which fats are okay. For example, nuts contain a lot of fat, but a lot of experts recommend including them. I've been put on a low-fat diet. Not sure if they're okay or not. – P.B. A: Thanks for the question, P.B. We're going to answer this in a generalized way since we can't comment on your specific case, and we don't know why you're being put on a low-fat diet. When I was in med school, my professors and attending physicians pushed us to promote low-fat foods. This fad started back in the 1960s when doctors began advising folks to use margarine and skim milk instead of butter and whole milk. It was the beginning of America's delusion regarding low-fat diets. We don't want our bodies to become fat. But to stay healthy, we do need certain fats in our diets. These include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They keep our immune systems strong, our brains working, and our inflammation at safe levels. Trans fats are the worst kind of fat for you. They can send your immune system into overdrive, promoting inflammation and wreaking havoc on your body. Consider this 30-year study from Harvard... Researchers followed about 125,000 people for three decades to evaluate mortality related to specific dietary fats. They found that people who ate more "bad" fats – especially trans fats – lowered their life expectancy. But the more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats people consumed, the lower their risk of early death. Nuts are full of the fats you want... without the fats you don't. For example, 100 grams of walnuts has about 65 grams of total fat. That might sound bad, but of those, 6.05 grams are saturated, 49.3 grams are polyunsaturated, and 9.62 grams are monounsaturated. And none of the fats are trans fats. So even if you've been asked to cut back on fat, it probably doesn't mean avoiding foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, salmon, tuna, and olive oil. (If you're unsure, though, check with your doctor to confirm.) The point is that we need natural fats to be healthy. We recommend these in order of importance: monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, some saturated fats, and no trans fats. Eating a balanced diet of different healthy fats will help you live a longer, happier life. Keep sending your questions, comments, and suggestions our way.
