A Silver Heist hypothesizes a scenario where manipulation and fraud in the precious metals market allow Goliath to seize control of physical silver, while paper silver futures settle in cash.

We've already seen paper markets break down: in 2020 the oil market broke to the downside and oil futures plummeted to negative $30, and in 2022, nickel futures snapped to the upside and gained 250% in just two days, with exchanges stepping in to cancel trades — proving how far we have drifted from free and fair markets.

The lack of transparency in the silver market, frequent and blatant paper smashes, and the extreme paper-to-physical leverage all signal that A Silver Heist is not just possible but increasingly likely.

New Vol bridges the gap between financial risk and the solution set of building personal resilience. By redefining volatility from a market decline to a systemic shock, New Vol proposes an insurance strategy approach to risk management.

We suggest absorbing the smaller risks of a market correction while insuring against the larger risks through the accumulation of wealth across various buckets of capital (financial, material, social, time, living, emotional, and knowledge).

This new hedge aims to provide enhanced protection and improved quality of life by recognizing that all buckets are important, not just the financial one.
