from Kerry Lutz’s Financial Survival Network
Kerry interviews Andy Schectman as they introduce Andy’s new show, The Miles Franklin Report. Andy shares his thoughts on the global economy and the precious metals market, specifically focusing on silver and gold. He explains the phenomenon of “little by little, then all at once”—a concept he applies to how global financial, economic, and social changes are accelerating rapidly after years of slow buildup. Andy highlights key market trends, including the surprising lack of media attention around gold surpassing $2,500 and the disconnect between rising gold prices and stagnant mining share performance. He discusses how large banks are manipulating silver prices, despite increased demand from countries like China and India. Andy presents data indicating that these countries are hoarding silver, while Western markets suppress its price through massive short positions. This suggests that silver’s strategic value in military and technological applications is being overlooked. Kerry and Andy also explore the idea that the global demand for silver, especially for military use, is being deliberately concealed. They touch on the future role of the BRICS nations and how commodities will play a significant role in reshaping global economic power structures. The conversation wraps up with Andy thanking Kerry for helping launch the show and teasing more in-depth discussions in future episodes.
