- 0:01$90.00 silver right now, but are we just getting started?
- 0:06We're going to talk about all the reasons why that could
- 0:09likely be the case. We've got a ton of information
- 0:12to look at charts, articles, everything pointing to the fact
- 0:16that we're in some pretty good shape when it comes to investing
- 0:19in silver and gold for that matter.
- 0:22I want to say thank you for joining me down here in the
- 0:24basement. You guys are awesome.
- 0:26We really appreciate the the support, but let's get started
- 0:29by checking on the silver price today.
- 0:32We'll go on a journey out to the futures market, our good friends
- 0:35at the COMEX and see how they're doing.
- 0:38Oh, they're not too happy. Wow, guys, as you can see right
- 0:42now, we have a silver price at the COMEX of $90.00 per oz.
- 0:49Wow. And now we're hearing more and
- 0:52more calls that the price could go even higher.
- 0:55But let's talk about why we're early in this process.
- 0:58There's big reasons why we're early and some fascinating chart
- 1:02data that we're going to look at right now.
- 1:04Let's go out to Kitco and look at this incredible chart.
- 1:08This is, I think, some of the best news, probably some of the
- 1:11best silver and gold news that I've heard all week.
- 1:14Well, at least in the last seven days, Kitco says.
- 1:17Why the real move in gold is still ahead.
- 1:21You might think you're late to the party, right?
- 1:24Gold and silver have gone up. They're not.
- 1:26No, you're not. Because gold is trading about
- 1:295000 and silver is holding your 80.
- 1:33That's near 90 now, at least for now.
- 1:37Miners and juniors were ripping until last week, yet this bull
- 1:41market is still in its early innings.
- 1:44The following chart lays out the evidence.
- 1:48There was some commentary by Jordan Roy Byrne, he's from the
- 1:51Daily Gold. He's awesome.
- 1:53And this chart, guys, hold on, take your blood pressure
- 1:57medicine because we've got some good news here.
- 2:01What this chart shows us is gold market cap as a percentage of
- 2:06global stock markets. And there's something very
- 2:09interesting that we can see here.
- 2:12And that is right now we're way down here.
- 2:15It may be 20%. The gold market only makes up
- 2:1920% of the of compared to the the world global stock market.
- 2:24Easy for me to say, at the end of World War One, right?
- 2:27We were approaching 90%, end of World War 2 approaching 90%, end
- 2:33of the inflationary decade approaching 90%, which would be
- 2:384 1/2 times higher than where we are right now.
- 2:41Now what's interesting about this, what's incredibly
- 2:45interesting that dawned on me when I looked at this chart is I
- 2:48know a lot of us will think, Oh yeah, but things are different
- 2:51now. Things are you know, where
- 2:54things are aren't the same as they were back then or were.
- 2:58But think about this. All right, I want to show you
- 3:00the chart again, something very, very important.
- 3:02When we look at this chart, OK, this period right here is well
- 3:08here, All right, from World War One to World War 2, about 20
- 3:11years from the end of World War 2, we'll say 1940 just to be the
- 3:17round off to 1980. This period was 40 years.
- 3:22So look, it went all the way down to where we are, even lower
- 3:27than where we are are right now and then shot back up.
- 3:31But the key thing here is that this was a 40 year period.
- 3:36Well, guess what? When you look at where we are
- 3:39now, me erase all of that for you, where we look, when you
- 3:43look at where we are now compared to the last time we
- 3:46peaked right 1980, if my math is correct, that's a 45 year
- 3:52period. So this can happen again.
- 3:55That's the big take away. We can see this line.
- 3:59Let me get let me make it see if I can make it.
- 4:03I'll make it when I can't do white, we'll do it green, right?
- 4:06Anyway, you get the point. This line can go all the way
- 4:10back up to 90%. And this this chart comes from
- 4:14Missouri Capital. They point out a couple key
- 4:16things. Reasons why global debt is now
- 4:19at record highs. Inflation as the path of least
- 4:23resistance. Gold still less than 30% of
- 4:27central bank assets rising Deglobalization favors neutral
- 4:31assets A world of uncertainty 6040 portfolios are now say
- 4:36seeking safe alternatives. Think about what we've heard
- 4:39from who was that Morgan Stanley it's the end of the 6040
- 4:44portfolio 60% what was that stocks 40% bonds or vice versa.
- 4:49You get the point. Structurally unsustainable
- 4:52fiscal deficits, yes, the United States runs in almost $2
- 4:56trillion deficit every year. Global gold production is flat,
- 5:01right? And there's no new gold being
- 5:03and being found or silver for that matter, in lack of new gold
- 5:08discoveries. All right, they aren't finding
- 5:11any new gold and they aren't producing any more gold.
- 5:14And guess what? The same thing is true for
- 5:17silver as well. So look, to say that we're early
- 5:21isn't is very accurate. And like we saw, right, these,
- 5:25these ratios run in cycles in 45 years is maybe it's overdue,
- 5:33maybe it should have happened five years ago.
- 5:35So we are early. All right, let's talk about man,
- 5:37we got a lot to look at today, guys.
- 5:39We're going to go and look at the Shanghai, a new way to look
- 5:42at the Shanghai silver premium silver in China cost a lot more
- 5:47than the United States. And when you look at it
- 5:49visually, it really is stunning silver, if you're in the United
- 5:53States, right, real silver, you can get it from our channel
- 5:57sponsor First Mint, right? We can still get silver here in
- 6:01the United States and 1st Mint is a premium retail experience.
- 6:05They're a silver mint specialist.
- 6:07They're owned by First Majestic, who mines the silver, sends it
- 6:11to 1st Mint, and then they send it directly to you.
- 6:15It's world class silver bullion products.
- 6:18Here's their new Year of the Horse coin.
- 6:21I want to show you that I was. It caught my eye right before I
- 6:25went live. Look at that thing.
- 6:26It is absolutely beautiful and it has the Chinese calendar on
- 6:31the back. You can learn more about them at
- 6:34first mint.com. Let me show you their web page
- 6:37here real quickly. And there's the year of the
- 6:40horse right there. There's the coin.
- 6:42They got a lot of other products you can check out as well.
- 6:46And on top of that, there is a discount code VIPRB.
- 6:51Now let's make believe that we live in China and see how much
- 6:56of A premium the Chinese are paying right now for silver and
- 7:02for silver in particular. Sorry on this is a new website.
- 7:05Sorry guys, there's so much going on.
- 7:07Incredible. This is cool gold Silver dot AI
- 7:12was sent by one of our fellow basement dwellers.
- 7:14This shows the Shanghai silver price in dollars versus the
- 7:19western price. So as you can see up.
- 7:21Shoot, hold on upstairs. Susie's not here.
- 7:24I apologize. Now you're saying it, as you can
- 7:28see, and I know you guys are complained about my I'm a one
- 7:31man band and it's very challenging to run a live stream
- 7:36and share things. Mistakes will happen, but please
- 7:38bear with me. This shows the Shanghai Silver
- 7:42price, the red line on this chart versus the Western price.
- 7:46I mean, look at this, OK, Even just going back to November, it
- 7:49was pretty similar. But as you can see as we get out
- 7:53into the present day, the red price, the Shanghai price,
- 7:56$101.00, almost $102.00. The Western price, as we know
- 8:01right now hovering right around $90.00.
- 8:04But it's even more interesting when we go down here where they
- 8:08have a chart of the premium in red.
- 8:11That's the red line over here on the left.
- 8:13So right now there's a $12.00 premium.
- 8:15And as you see, right, that continues to go up and up and
- 8:20up. Hit almost, I'm sorry.
- 8:22Yeah, $25.00 right here. At this point, the blue line is
- 8:26the premium as a percentage, which you can see there is now
- 8:30running healthy at 14%. The big take away here is, OK,
- 8:36think, think about this. I think this is critical.
- 8:38The reason why we want to look at this premium in Shanghai.
- 8:41Yeah, we know because they're the new price setter for silver
- 8:45in the world there. It's a physical market.
- 8:47But think about this, the world is getting smaller and smaller
- 8:51with technology. I mean, it's kind of like, you
- 8:54know, the the real price of silver is what it's going for in
- 8:58China. The physical price on the
- 9:00Shanghai Gold Exchange is the world gets smaller and smaller.
- 9:05Those prices, that difference is going to go away.
- 9:09OK. It's inevitable.
- 9:11It's free market forces. That's the way it'll work.
- 9:14It's almost like I was trying to think of a good analogy for you
- 9:17to compare this to. But it's almost like if you have
- 9:20a car and you want to get rid of it and you go to your local car
- 9:23dealership and the local car dealership says, yeah, I'll give
- 9:26you $5000 for that car. And then you call one of those
- 9:30big online car dealers like CarMax, and CarMax says, oh, OK,
- 9:35based on what you told us, we'll give you $6000 for that car.
- 9:39I mean, who you going to sell it to?
- 9:41You're going to sell it to CarMax, right?
- 9:43Because that's the real value of the car.
- 9:45So I would argue that the real value of silver right now on
- 9:50planet Earth is what they're selling it for in China.
- 9:55We got more to look at, more charts, a lot more stuff to look
- 9:58at. We are early, I believe, in this
- 10:01rally for silver. Here's a great one.
- 10:05It shows this is the level of of physical silver in the Shanghai.
- 10:11It's not just the COMEX. And we're going to look at data
- 10:13on the COMEX here in a second. The COMEX inventory levels are
- 10:16getting precariously low, but this is a chart.
- 10:20The red line shows the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 10:22That's their physical silver market.
- 10:25In the blue line, Turquoise line shows the Shanghai Futures
- 10:29Exchange. This chart goes back to try to
- 10:32get the whole thing on the screen to you all the way back
- 10:35to two 2023. And as you can see, both the
- 10:39Shanghai Gold Exchange and the Shanghai futures Exchange are at
- 10:43precariously low levels of inventory.
- 10:47Let's go to this next screen and we can do the calculations.
- 10:51This is an update from the Oriental Ghost.
- 10:53We love him every single day, right?
- 10:55The price of silver first, we'll, we'll, we'll talk about
- 10:59that on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and the Shanghai
- 11:01Futures Exchange. On the SGE, the Shanghai Gold
- 11:06Exchange, we broke 100 baby, OK, on the Shanghai futures
- 11:11Exchange, we're well above 100 at one O 2.
- 11:14But we're what we're really here to look at is the silver backing
- 11:18up the Shanghai futures Exchange.
- 11:21This is getting really crazy. This is the Shanghai Futures
- 11:26Exchange, 259,000 kilograms of silver.
- 11:32That means OK, based upon our calculations, based on our
- 11:37calculations, that is about 8.3 million ounces of silver backing
- 11:44up the entire Shanghai Futures Exchange.
- 11:48And we saw right how that level has dropped precariously since
- 11:522000. This is happening all over the
- 11:56world. It's not just the COMEX, it's
- 11:57not just the the LBMA. But Speaking of the COMEX, we're
- 12:01going to go there because we got a big update on the paper
- 12:05market, the COMEX here in the United States.
- 12:07We're going to get to that next. I do want to say thank you to
- 12:10channel sponsor First Mining Gold, their development stage
- 12:14gold company. You guys requested that I have
- 12:16the CEO Dan Wilton on again for an interview for an update.
- 12:20I'll be doing that later this week.
- 12:22They have two huge multi million ounce development stage gold
- 12:25projects in Canada, Spring Pole in Ontario and Duparque located
- 12:31in Quebec. I actually, we visited the
- 12:32Duparque project. It's incredible what this
- 12:36company has in Canada. Again, they're in the
- 12:38development phase, they're working through permitting, all
- 12:41that stuff, but there aren't many big multi million ounce
- 12:45projects in good jurisdictions like Canada.
- 12:48Learn more about them at first Mine eagle.com.
- 12:52Let's go to the COMEX. Those poor people at the COMEX,
- 12:55the the paper exchange here in the United States, we feel bad
- 12:59for them because they're under a little bit of stress and metal
- 13:02charts sums it up. There's a lot of good reasons
- 13:05why the COMEX is in trouble, and here's an inventory update.
- 13:10Right now there's a total of 346,000,000 oz at the COMEX.
- 13:16The registered amount is under 80 million right now, guys.
- 13:21That's the important number. That's the actual silver that's
- 13:25available to back up the contracts, the paper contracts,
- 13:29the electronic contracts on the COMEX.
- 13:31The eligible is silver that's already claimed owned by like
- 13:35ETF's, wealthy people, all that great stuff.
- 13:39OK. The leverage ratio in total is
- 13:421.6. The registered OK and this is
- 13:45what really matters is now at 7.1 X OK and the open interest
- 13:51sits at 113,000 contracts, although that's been dropping to
- 13:57very low levels as well. 30 day change down 44 million oz, one
- 14:04year low of 346,000 oz. OK, a registered just broke
- 14:11below 80 million oz for the first time.
- 14:14Leverage now above 7X, meaning every registered oz is backing
- 14:19over 7 oz and paper claims. Total inventory down 44,000,000
- 14:25ounces in 30 days in hitting fresh daily lows.
- 14:29The Comex shelves are getting bare.
- 14:33Now let's look at some more charts.
- 14:36Let's talk about the silver price.
- 14:37Suddenly everybody's telling us that is is talking about 100 one
- 14:42120 even potential for new all time highs in the silver price.
- 14:46Look, I don't have a crystal ball.
- 14:48I believe we're just getting started.
- 14:50I believe that chart we looked at at the beginning showing gold
- 14:54all right, as a percentage of the total world stock market
- 14:57pertains great things to come for gold, but also silver as
- 15:03well. Silver will be a slingshot.
- 15:06If you, I hope you understand what that means, right?
- 15:09Silver's due for a slingshot move, meaning as gold moves, it
- 15:13brings silver with it. But silver could have like an
- 15:16elastic band effect where it way overshoots.
- 15:20I'm not saying that the price of silver will go higher than gold,
- 15:24although I've heard some people say that could happen.
- 15:26But what I'm saying is if gold goes up 2030%, we could see
- 15:32massive, massive moves in the silver price.
- 15:35Don't forget that happened during the 1970s, right?
- 15:38That chart we looked at earlier, right?
- 15:40The 40 year cycle, 45 year cycle where gold did very well, but
- 15:46silver did even even better. Let's go out to Oren.
- 15:50Oren Eblas, a great analyst in the silver sector.
- 15:54He put up a chart that I think really sums it up.
- 15:58He says right now silver, here's Oren here, Oren Elbaz the the
- 16:04Silver hermit. OK, right now silver is close to
- 16:08breaking out of this Pennant formation.
- 16:11This is not the only technical hurdle preventing it from
- 16:14advancing higher. It would also need to overcome
- 16:17horizontal resistance around $96.00 an ounce and later at its
- 16:22all time high around 100 and 21120 per oz.
- 16:27But given its overall strength in 2025, this could happen
- 16:32rather quickly. And I thought we've looked at
- 16:34this chart several times, but guys, I I think this one really
- 16:38sums it up. Here's the high at $120.00 right
- 16:42forming the top of a he calls Pennant.
- 16:46I hear other people say triangle or wedge.
- 16:49The point is that it's time goes by this price, right?
- 16:53It's going to have to break out of this zone as it gets in here
- 16:57and it could very easily. It just feels like that's the
- 17:01way that it's going to go. I mean, think about all the
- 17:04craziness going on in the world right now.
- 17:07I just had a guy at my house doing some work on my roof,
- 17:10Great guy, super smart guy, and he was like, I can't believe all
- 17:13the insanity going on in the world right now.
- 17:16If you just look at that and look at the safe haven appeal of
- 17:20precious metals that provides, it's a huge tailwind for the
- 17:24precious metals. But then you couple on top of
- 17:26that, that whole list we went through earlier, right, Fiat
- 17:29currencies are in not very good shape right now.
- 17:32I don't know. It just feels like to me, I
- 17:35don't know how you feel about this, but man, it feels like the
- 17:38silver price has a long, long way to run and remember last
- 17:43year right now, where is he? See him right there, that's
- 17:46Smitty the Silver bear. See, his little little bandana
- 17:50or whatever you call it, it says 85 dollars.
- 17:54We had a blindfolded bear back there with $85 on his blindfold
- 17:58that we said we would take off when silver hit $85 an ounce.
- 18:02That's why it's off right now. But a year ago, right now,
- 18:06people said we were crazy to talk about $85 silver.
- 18:11Like, what are you thinking, right?
- 18:13You're a silver pumper. You're delusional, right?
- 18:17And doesn't it feel very much right now like we are at minimum
- 18:21building a base in the silver price in the, I don't know, 78
- 18:27to $88.00 range, Maybe it just goes right now that would be
- 18:31great, whatever, I'm not going to complain.
- 18:33But at minimum, we were developing some confidence in
- 18:37this range and it can it can provide a real platform for
- 18:42moves as we go out into the future.
- 18:45OK, let's talk about the oil price.
- 18:48Everybody's asking about it. It's front page news.
- 18:51Unbelievable volatility in the oil price right now.
- 18:55What does that mean for the precious metals?
- 18:57It means everything for the precious metals.
- 19:00Over the long term basis, inflation is going to be a
- 19:05driving factor for the price of silver and gold.
- 19:09There's going to be a lot of noise in between on daily basis.
- 19:13We could have days where oil goes up and precious metals go
- 19:16down. Noise over a long period of
- 19:19time. OK, oil is the driver of the
- 19:23world economy, the lifeblood of the world economy.
- 19:26And the fact that there's such massive insane moves going on in
- 19:30the oil market right now and that oil will likely continue
- 19:35higher and stay higher, that will create inflation even where
- 19:39we are today. But do you realize how crazy
- 19:41things got with oil over the weekend?
- 19:44Let's dig into oil a little bit and and talk further about what
- 19:47that means for the precious metals.
- 19:50And oh shoot, I forgot to share the right screen last time.
- 19:57I apologize, guys. There's the there's the Pennant
- 20:01that we had from Oren and here we go.
- 20:04Here's what's going on in oil breaking oil prices collapse
- 20:07below $84 a barrel. This is after they were over
- 20:12$120.00 a barrel. But what I really want to show
- 20:16you is. This next one, there's the
- 20:19breaking oil prices collapse to 84 from 1:20.
- 20:24And I'm sorry, upstairs, Susie is out running errands, so she's
- 20:27not here to yell at me. Boy, when she watches this one,
- 20:29I'll be in big trouble. But here we go.
- 20:32This is the Brent crude chart. OK, guys, look, when we look at
- 20:38this chart, you have to realize it went all the way up to $120
- 20:43on Sunday night. But what's really important to
- 20:46see is this, OK, if we draw a line right here at $69 per
- 20:53barrel in oil, as you can see over the last one year, we were
- 20:58pretty much in the 60 or 60 right there, 60 to $70 range.
- 21:04This move up here to even where we are right now today down
- 21:09$12.00 a barrel, but at $86 is highly, highly inflationary.
- 21:15That's why. And you see it immediately at
- 21:18the gas station, the price of gas shoots up.
- 21:21But oil is in everything, plastics, everything around you.
- 21:26The guy that was just at my house working on my roof, he's
- 21:28like, yeah, oils. That's what house shingles, roof
- 21:31shingles are made out of. Oil will create higher oil
- 21:35prices, will create inflation. Inflation is the same thing as
- 21:40loss in value in the US dollar and is the US dollar loses
- 21:45value, the price of the precious metals will continue.
- 21:48Can you much much higher. Let's talk about something funny
- 21:51about all this as well. Vince Lancey put out a tweet.
- 21:55This one is is going to be good for a laugh.
- 21:57Vince said this, here's the here's that oil chart that shows
- 22:03the oil price going all the way up.
- 22:06As you can see over here into that, there's 124.
- 22:09That's Sunday night. But what he said was this, which
- 22:13is truly hilarious. He said oil is the new silver,
- 22:17meaning the crazy volatile, volatile moves in oil are
- 22:22similar to what we are seeing, what we have seen in silver.
- 22:26So all right, guys, thanks for being down here in the basement.
- 22:28Sorry for the technical issues, I do my best.
- 22:31I know you guys are very understanding.
- 22:34It's a I'm the one man band down here trying to to deliver to you
- 22:38as much value, fun, camaraderie, entertainment, all about the
- 22:42precious metals community. I really appreciate you coming
- 22:45down here into the basement with me.

- 22:54I want you to come back to the basement.
