Gold & Silver “Crash” Explained: Manipulation, Margins, and the Paper Market Trap with Brien Lundin

In this episode of the Main Street Capitalist Show, host Russell Gray sits down with precious-metals veteran Brien Lundin—publisher of Gold Newsletter and producer of the New Orleans Investment Conference—to unpack the recent “spike, crash, and consolidation” in gold and silver. Brien breaks down why the selloff looked less like normal volatility and more like an orchestrated takedown, pointing to margin requirement changes, stop-trigger dynamics, and uneven enforcement of exchange circuit breakers. The result is an investor-friendly explanation of how the paper futures market can distort price action—especially in smaller, more easily influenced markets like gold and silver. Zooming out, Brien explains why this bull market is structurally different: central banks are buying gold and reducing dollar exposure, physical demand in the East is reshaping price discovery, and silver’s market is tightening as industry increasingly competes with investors for deliverable supply. The conversation also explores macro trends driving a broader flight from fiat currencies, plus the supply-side reality that it takes years to bring new mines online—creating a runway for continued volatility, opportunity, and wealth-protection strategy. If you’ve ever wondered what gold is “signaling” about the financial system—and how Main Street investors can position intelligently—this episode is your roadmap.
