This site is really interesting, but I fear they fall peril to the same biases that most heterodox finance blogs do:

    Mauldin Economics is a member of the Hard Assets Alliance. Buy gold and silver, store in secure vaults, take delivery or sell positions online.

    Check the gold price and the silver price.

Hard Assets Alliance definitely pays for placement. I read a bunch of their crap and they have effectively nothing to say about precious metals.

What's been funny is watching them shift on blockchain. Mauldin went from "it's goldbugging for nerds" to "maybe this is something" to "Fuck no it's the end of the world" to having George Gilder as a speaker which made them collectively go

"...huh."

They're definitely old. They're definitely center-right. They're definitely less than innovative and they definitely wear their biases on their sleeve. But I don't get the Old White Money perspective from my usual circle of influence so I pay attention.
