Gold, Silver and... (W)hole Milk?

Gold, Silver and... (W)hole Milk?

Author: China Shop Productions January 23, 2026 Duration: 52:26

This week Kyle, Dan, and Bear work through a series of market conversations that connect policy changes, commodities, and corporate risk.

The discussion starts with recent "changes" to the food pyramid and what those shifts could mean for nutrition guidelines, consumer behavior, and the cattle industry. From there, the conversation moves into commodities more broadly, including silver and gold pushing to all-time highs and what that signals about inflation, currency confidence, and risk appetite.

The group also breaks down the latest developments in Bayer’s Supreme Court case, talking through the legal stakes, precedent, and how a favorable or unfavorable ruling could impact the company.
