How money actually works
Most people use money every day without ever being taught what it is. These videos explain how money is created, how commercial banks expand the money supply through lending, and why the difference between money and currency matters for your savings.
The Federal Reserve, explained
The Federal Reserve sets the price of money in the United States. Its decisions on interest rates, quantitative easing and its balance sheet ripple through mortgages, markets, the dollar — and the price of gold.
Inflation and your purchasing power
Inflation is the quiet tax on every dollar you've saved. These videos explain what inflation really is, why it happens, and what it has done to the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar over the last century.
Gold: 5,000 years of money
No asset has a longer record as a store of value than gold. These videos cover why gold has value, how the gold market works, what drives the price, and the difference between owning physical metal and paper substitutes.
Silver: money and metal of the future
Silver is both a monetary metal and an industrial workhorse — used in solar panels, electronics and medicine while still serving as a store of value. These videos explain silver's dual demand, its volatility, and why the gold-to-silver ratio matters.
Gold IRAs and 401(k) rollovers
A Gold IRA lets you hold physical IRS-approved gold and silver inside a tax-advantaged retirement account. These videos explain how the accounts work, how a 401(k) rollover moves funds without triggering taxes, and what the custodian actually does.
Retirement planning in an inflationary era
Retirement savers face a problem previous generations didn't: a fiat currency that loses purchasing power by design, and bond portfolios that fell alongside stocks in 2022. These videos cover diversification, sequence-of-returns risk, and where hard assets fit.
Financial crises: what history teaches
2008. The S&L crisis. The bank runs of the 1930s. Every financial crisis teaches the same lesson: the system carries more risk than it appears to in calm times. These videos study what actually happened — and what protected savers when institutions failed.
The history of money
Every fiat currency in history has eventually returned to its intrinsic value — zero. These videos trace the arc from gold and silver coinage through the gold standard, Bretton Woods, and the 1971 break that made every currency on earth purely fiat.
