Natural Resource Stocks host Steve Yang sits down with Bob Coleman, founder of Idaho Armored Vaults and Profits Plus Capital Management, to break down what is really happening in gold and silver today. With three decades of experience managing client money and running a fully segregated vault, Bob focuses on one core idea. If your metal lives inside layers of brokers, banks, and derivatives, you do not truly control it.
Bob explains why physical demand from Asia — especially India around Diwali — is a bigger driver of gold than most Western investors realize, and how silver has quietly become mission critical for solar, data centers, and new technology while mined supply and above-ground inventories are tightening. He lays out why an eighty to one gold–silver ratio makes little sense if you care about real-world use and scarcity, and why silver could ultimately move harder than the headlines suggest.
From there, the conversation turns to paper metals and market plumbing. Bob and Steve walk through what actually happens inside products like SLV, how short interest and share creation can create violent moves that have little to do with real bars changing hands, and why leverage and aggressive dealer marketing routinely blow up retail investors. Bob contrasts allocated and segregated storage, explains how he designed Idaho Armored Vaults to strip out counterparties, and shares what he looks for in products, vault providers, and custodians so clients are not paying hidden costs or taking invisible risks.
If you already own gold and silver — or are thinking about it — this interview gives you a framework to move from paper promises toward metal you can actually count on when it matters.
