Welcome back and joining us on the phone is Tony Arden.

He is so busy because of what is happening with gold that he's not in the office.

And so we've missed a couple of weeks because Tony's been on the road.

So we got him on the phone today.

And it is kind of interesting to see what was happening.

We've got record silver that is happening in terms of setting records in pretty much every category in 2022.

In a report that was released this week by the Silver Institute.

And so a big increase in silver demand.

Of course, there's industrial stuff there as well as people trying to get out of the dollar.

But the big attack is coming from the dollar. And there's a big attack on the petro dollar as well

as reserve currency. Thank you for joining us, Tony. We were just talking about a dilemma that I'd not heard of before,

and you just found out about.

Tell people about this.

You said it was kind of like Gresham's law in terms of good and bad currencies.

But this is about what happens with reserve currency status when that goes away. Thanks for joining us.

Well, thanks for having me, David. And yeah, I've been on the road. I think in the future,

the precious metal dealer is going to be defined by how he can supply his customers. That's

going to be the biggest key to all of this in the future. So I've been working

on setting up another location in North Texas and working out new wholesale relationships,

anything I can do to keep the supply rolling in. And as we see all of this de-dollarization,

that's in the headline. That's mainstream now. Yeah. This is something we were talking about, you know, two or three years ago, but now

mainstream's picking it up.
