In the first episode of Silver Linings, Greg and Melodie Neel of the Gold Ore Store in St. George, Utah break down what’s driving the historic surge in silver prices—and why this moment is unlike anything they’ve seen in decades of precious metals trading. From industrial demand, solar energy, and AI technology to long-standing market manipulation by banks and the shift toward true price discovery, this episode offers an inside look at the forces reshaping the silver and gold markets. Greg and Melodie also share their personal journey in the precious metals business, explain how physical silver is bought and sold, and offer practical insights for anyone looking to understand or enter the silver market.
