Money Printer Go Brrrr! 12/17/2025

In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people. Hint: it means more inflation. /episode/index/show/moneymetals/id/39440795

Perception Isn't Always Reality! 11/19/2025

Inflation Is the Plan! 11/05/2025

Inflation Is the Plan! The Federal Reserve cut interest rates and ended balance sheet reduction at its last meeting despite acknowledging persistent inflation. This doesn't make sense in a sane world. But we don't live in a sane world. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey tries to make sense of the insanity. He says that the key to understanding the Fed's moves is recognizing that inflation is the plan. The central bank doesn't want to tackle inflation. It just wants to keep it at a level that doesn't make you too angry. In fact, the government needs inflation to support its borrowing and spending problem. Mike argues that this isn't a policy you can vote away. You can only take steps to minimize its impact on your life. /episode/index/show/moneymetals/id/38923260

In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey breaks down the inflation situation without the spin and reveals the Fed is about to crank up the money machine. He also puts the recent price movements of gold and silver into that broader context. /episode/index/show/moneymetals/id/38824685
