Keith Weiner discusses Gold and Silver Manipulation with Lauren Lyster on Capital Account.
Monetary Metals® operates the Gold Yield Marketplace™, a financial services platform enabling investors to earn a Yield on Gold, Paid in Gold® while providing gold-based financing to precious metals businesses worldwide. Unlike traditional gold companies that buy or sell gold for dollar gains, Monetary Metals unlocks the productivity of gold by matching investors who hold precious metals with qualified businesses—including mints, refiners, jewelry manufacturers, and miners—that use gold productively. Through Gold Leases and Gold Bonds, investors earn interest paid in physical ounces rather than fiat currency, allowing their gold holdings to compound over time with no storage fees.
