But the truth is that gold confiscation didn't go as well as the government hoped. In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey explains the gold confiscation order, why the government wanted everybody's gold and why the confiscation scheme fell flat.

The Federal Reserve and the U.S. government have a big problem. The Fed is trying to take down sticky price inflation but it can never win the fight. As host Mike Maharrey explains in this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, the national debt is part of the problem, and until that is under control, inflation won't be. And here's a dirty little secret -- the central bankers at the Fed know this.

In this episode of Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey gives some examples of mainstream folks dumping on gold and offers some theories as to why they always seem to think it's time to sell the yellow metal - no matter what.

He also offers a little food for thought for people who think that just because there hasn't been a financial or economic crisis yet there won't be one.
