all right folks welcome back and joining us today rather than on a thursday is tony artaban

of wise wolf gold and of course if you go to david knight dot gold that'll take you to wise

wolf and let him know that you came through us uh tony switched days because it has been so hectic.

The gold market, like everything else, is one of the first places, I guess, where some of the

deliberate chaos is being sewn into the global economy is showing up in the financial

markets. And so we've seen a lot of stuff moving. What's going on today, Tony?

Thanks for joining us. What's going on in the markets? Well, first of all, good to see you again,

David. And yeah, sorry I hadn't been able to make it on my usual Thursdays. My schedule is all over

the place. And I think if you're watching the metals markets, you know why. And it's really just trying to figure out what's next.

I mean, there's a, in one side, you've got this avalanche of supply and some of the big wholesaler

stop buying. On the other side, we've got a supply deficit. And people can't source products.

And, you know, the trades are two or three weeks out so

it is a it is a really interesting thing it's a really interesting time uh to be in the gold and

silver business so i've been having to stay pretty nimble and um but luckily uh for us we we did a little

bit of pre planning for this so we had inventory covered for Wolfpack and other

things. And I've just been, I think the key thing that I've been able to do is be mobile. So I've

been back and forth between Missouri and Texas and taking inventory there or bringing inventory from

there to liquidate.

So just staying on top of that, it's a, it has definitely increased, um, my travel time.

But, uh, I'm thankful for it.

There's a lot going on.

Well, you know, I, I don't know how it affected you, but I talked about this, uh, yesterday
