In this appearance on the Flyover Conservatives podcast, Dr. Kirk Elliott discusses how political uncertainty in Washington can add short-term volatility to the markets, while urging viewers to focus on long-term fundamentals rather than daily noise. He points to lasting demand trends, central banks holding gold as collateral and industrial uses for silver across AI, data centers, electronics, solar, nuclear power, and electric vehicles, as the forces that matter most. Much of the conversation centers on how to buy metals wisely. Prompted by a large precious-metals dealer's recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Dr. Elliott explains the risks of firms that sell from their own inventory and of collectible or commemorative coins that carry high premiums and can resell below the metal's market value. He favors bullion bought at a low premium and shipped directly from the depository, emphasizing getting the most ounces for the dollar and building a long-term relationship. He invites viewers to schedule a consultation with the KEPM team.
