As promised, here is my conversation with investor and author Grant Williams, the first of eight conversations recorded at the 2026 New Orleans Investment Conference. It’s a belter. I hope you enjoy it.
As always you can watch the video above, or listen as a podcast via Spotify, Apple podcasts et al.
Grant argues that politicians will never go for the discipline of a gold standard voluntarily, but the breakdown of the existing system - excessive debt, financial instability, currency debasement and ultimately a loss of trust in money itself - will force it on them.
We discuss why he sees gold as the financial system’s “apex predator”, why the investment conditions of the last 40 years have reversed, and how a future revaluation of gold could form part of the process of rebuilding confidence in the monetary system.

If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.
And, as we discussed it, here is a link to The Secret History of Gold on Amazon.
Until next time,

ICYMI: my commentary on last week’s budget.
Yay! Four Pence Off Gherkins
I believe most people start out in politics because they want to make the world a better place. Better might mean more socialist, more Conservative, more Liberal, doesn’t matter. They want to make the world better, whatever their idea of better happens to be. Maybe I’m just naive thinking that.
