Last week was a wild roller coaster ride on Wall Street. When the dust settled and the cars came to a stop on Friday, gold was the last safe haven standing.

In this week's Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey examines gold's performance and contrasts it with other havens, including the Treasuries and the U.S. dollar.

He also puts recent market and economic volatility driven by the trade war into a broader context—the bubble economy. Mike notes that the mainstream can't even ignore the bubble anymore, but they still seem relatively clueless about what caused it and why it will ultimately pop.
