  • SILVER TO $200?

    In this conversation, Clem Chambers joins Darrell to break down the recent volatility across precious metals, crypto, and commodities. He explains why silver’s blow-off top was driven by retail FOMO, why gold remains a geopolitical barometer tied to U.S.–China tensions, and why platinum, palladium, and copper may be structurally mispriced.
