Interview with Jan Skoyles
On 3 December, Jan Skoyles of Goldcore discussed the current position and outlook for gold and silver in 2026.
“In this in-depth conversation, Alasdair Macleod, former stockbroker, banker and precious metals specialist, joins us to explain how we arrived at this moment: from the collapse of Bretton Woods, decades of debt expansion, and government intervention, to the growing loss of confidence in fiat money itself.
”We explore:
Why gold’s rise reflects currency debasement, not speculation
How debt, QE, and bond markets are setting the stage for a crisis
Why central banks are quietly accumulating gold
The risks facing equities, bonds, and the global financial system
Whether silver is entering a structural supply squeeze
Why the public always realises last and what history tells us
”This conversation looks beyond price charts and headlines, drawing on economic history, monetary theory, and real-world signals to explain what may come next.”


Hi Alsidair. Any chance you could embed the videos in substack, instead to having to go through Youtube, which is very annoying. Somehow I ended up with an interview with Michael Oliver!!! Many thanks. Keep up the good work.
Nice girl, head screwed on the right way, asking pertinent questions. It's a real pity there weren't more like her around today. An interesting 50 minutes. Thanks to you both 👍
