  • Why Gold Dropped During Iran War & What Happens Next (Most Investors Get This Wrong) | Adrian Day
    Apr 2 2026

    Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Adrian Day, Chairman & CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, to break down why gold dropped during the Iran war and what comes next.

    Gold fell sharply as the Iran conflict escalated, but according to Adrian Day, this isn’t unusual at all.

    In this interview, Day explains the real drivers behind gold’s decline, including “buy the rumor, sell the news,” a surge in the U.S. dollar, and a global rush for liquidity. He also warns that markets may be underpricing major risks – from persistent inflation and energy shocks to a weakening economy and a Federal Reserve stuck in a difficult position.

    Day shares his outlook for gold, the dollar, and global markets, including why he believes gold could reach $6,000 in the next 18 months.

    In this episode of the Real Story with Michelle Makori:

    - Why gold fell during the Iran war (and why it’s normal)

    - The “buy the rumor, sell the news” dynamic

    - The role of the U.S. dollar and rising yields

    - Liquidity shocks and forced selling

    - Why markets may be underpricing inflation risks

    - The Fed’s dilemma: inflation vs recession

    - Gold price outlook: $6,000 target

    - Opportunities in gold stocks and global markets

  • Last Chance to Get Out? ‘40-50% Stock Market Crash Is Coming’ | Edward Dowd & Michelle Makori
    Mar 27 2026

    Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, interviews Edward Dowd, Founder of Phinance Technologies.

    Markets may be watching the wrong risk. While headlines focus on the Iran war and geopolitics, Edward Dowd warns the real breakdown is already underway beneath the surface of the U.S. economy. From a weakening housing market to a bursting AI bubble and a frozen private credit system, Dowd argues that the conditions for a major downturn were already in place – before the war even began.

    He explains why any relief rally driven by geopolitical optimism could be a selling opportunity, why a 40-50% market crash remains on the table, and how structural risks in housing, credit, and global growth are converging.

    In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:

    - Why the real economic breakdown has already started

    - Housing market weakness and why prices may need to fall

    - The AI bubble and signs it may already be cracking

    - Private credit stress and why it’s the “canary in the coal mine”

    - Why a relief rally could be the last chance to exit

    - Dowd’s outlook for a 40–50% market correction

    - China’s economic slowdown and global implications

    - Gold’s long-term trajectory and why it could reach $10,000

  • Was Silver Crashed on Purpose? Jane Street, Banks & Manipulation | Andy Schectman & Michelle Makori
    Mar 26 2026

    Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, to break down the sharp and unusual moves in gold and silver – and what may really be driving them.

    Gold saw its worst week in decades. Silver plunged nearly 50% from its January record highs. But according to Schectman, the real story may have little to do with the Fed, the dollar, or inflation and far more to do with market structure, derivatives, and a major shift in global trust.

    At the same time, China continues to aggressively accumulate both gold and silver, while warnings grow that the petrodollar system is being tested as oil trade begins shifting toward the Chinese yuan.

    In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori:

    - What really triggered silver’s 50% drop

    - The role of large trading firms and derivatives in price moves

    - China’s aggressive accumulation of physical metals

    - Is the petrodollar system beginning to break down?

    - The rise of the petroyuan and alternative payment systems

    - Why physical gold may be replacing trust in financial systems
