Latest / Unleashing Intuition Secrets / Have Gold & Silver Bottomed? What’s Next and How High Can They Go — Dr. Kirk Elliott
Transcript
- 0:02Hello, everyone.
- 0:02It's Michael Jacob with Unleashing Intuition Secrets,
- 0:05and we have Captain Kirk.
- 0:07I've always wanted to say that.
- 0:09Oh, good job.
- 0:10I'm glad you did.
- 0:13Yeah Starship Enterprise, here we go.
- 0:15It's gonna blast off.
- 0:16Silver's gonna blast off again.
- 0:17We talked about it blasting off before.
- 0:19It's maybe not today.
- 0:21Today's looking good, though.
- 0:22But I think we gotta get to that $80 level, and then the $90
- 0:26level, and then it's look out.
- 0:29Yeah.
- 0:29When you look at where we've been over the last couple of months because
- 0:34of the Iran conflict, it's just massive amounts of volatility, right?
- 0:39And whenever you have volatility, you could have 5% up days and then 5% down
- 0:43days, and then it tends to go sideways for a while because it can't find traction.
- 0:48Nobody knows what way it's gonna go.
- 0:51From my perspective, I can tell you where it's gonna go.
- 0:56It's gonna go up in the long term because the longer this conflict in
- 1:02Iran goes on ... and the Fed said something about this without actually
- 1:06saying something about this yesterday when they were talking about rates
- 1:08and holding them steady, right?
- 1:10It was like they held them steady because they don't know
- 1:13what's going to happen, right?
- 1:15And there was conflict within the FRB, within the board.
- 1:19It's yeah, should we raise rates?
- 1:21Should we lower rates?
- 1:21And so they just decided to hold steady.
- 1:23Why did they just hold steady?
- 1:25'Cause nobody knows when this conflict in Iran is going to be
- 1:29over, when the straight opens up.
- 1:31So last week when, ... Oh, shoot.
- 1:37It was the head of Dow Chemicals was talking.
- 1:40It's there's been such a block, blockade here for so long, pent up
- 1:46supply chain disruption that even if it opens up tomorrow, it's about a
- 1:51270-day backlog for the world to get fertilizer, for the world to get the
- 1:57oil and gas that they need, right?
- 1:58Even if it opens up tomorrow, right?
- 2:01So this is a problem because now we're seeing potential food shortages and
- 2:06yields that aren't gonna be enough because of lack of fertilizer, right?
- 2:09And so what does all this mean?
- 2:11Inflation, right?
- 2:12So when you have inflation, the propensity to have to raise interest rates to slow
- 2:19it down goes through the ceiling, right?
- 2:22So this is where the Fed doesn't know what to do.
- 2:25They're, like, caught between a rock and a hard place because it's like do
- 2:29we raise interest rates to slow down this inflation or do we actually lower
- 2:32interest rates to stimulate the economy?
- 2:34Yeah.
- 2:35Are we gonna focus on employment?
- 2:36Are we gonna focus on prices, right?
- 2:38This is their dilemma, and they don't know what to do.
- 2:42They really don't know what to do.
- 2:44But every single day that this goes on, things get actually more squirrely.
- 2:51But, and this is why gold and silver have gone sideways for a bit, right?
- 2:56And it's just- They're waiting,
- 2:57too.
- 2:58Yeah.
- 2:58They're waiting, too.
- 2:59These markets are just waiting.
- 3:01But here's where I think we've hit the point where the markets know
- 3:07that the straight needs to open up because the world needs oil.
- 3:13Yeah.
- 3:14They ... every country on earth uses oil.
- 3:16Every person in every country uses oil.
- 3:17That means everybody on earth uses oil for some reason.
- 3:20They've got to open this up.
- 3:22So- Even
- 3:22though they said they're going to the Green New Deal,
- 3:25they're all being exposed now.
- 3:27And Norway has actually said, "We're no longer doing the Green New Deal.
- 3:30We're going for oil because we got a lot of oil and we don't care anymore.
- 3:33We're not doing it.
- 3:34" Yeah.
- 3:35And Trump gets a lot of flack and he gets a lot of praise, right?
- 3:38Because it's is this an Israeli thing?
- 3:40Are we just in their back pocket or is this really about controlling oil?
- 3:45Is this about helping the dollar maintain its reserve currency status?
- 3:48What is it, right?
- 3:49And this poor guy just gets blasted and praised every single day.
- 3:52It depends on what side of the aisle you're on, right?
- 3:55And it's really easy, Michael, to be an armchair quarterback.
- 3:59Yeah.
- 3:59It's super easy.
- 4:00We could all do the same thing, but we don't have the
- 4:02same info that he does, right?
- 4:04And, but what his goal is to make sure that the US doesn't lose its
- 4:09reserve currency status, which means you have to control the oil, right?
- 4:13This all oil globally is traded in US dollars.
- 4:17So here's where I think that the markets, gold and silver, which I think are way
- 4:23more sophisticated than the stock and bond markets is telling us this is probably
- 4:28gonna be over wide because volatility is at really low levels now, which means
- 4:34the correction's probably done, right?
- 4:37It, you look at the volatility was, like, really low the end
- 4:40of the beginning of the week.
- 4:44So that would tell us we've probably had the correction and it
- 4:48should start going up from here.
- 4:49What's it doing today?
- 4:51It's going up and it's going up a lot, right?
- 4:54And you look though on a chart throughout this time when it's been trading
- 4:59sideways, whenever you had a downturn, it would bounce off of a moving average,
- 5:05like it was a trampoline, and then go up, and then it would come down and it
- 5:08would bounce off the moving average, and that moving average kept going up
- 5:12because it's a moving average over time.
- 5:14Right.
- 5:15During the day, yeah.
- 5:16Yeah.
- 5:16So this is really healthy, right?
- 5:18But what the markets are telling us with this low volatility,
- 5:23it's probably going to end.
- 5:25Now, what is the one thing other than supply and demand that metals
- 5:31markets look at more closely than anything and respond to?
- 5:34It's inflation.
- 5:36Yeah.
- 5:36So here's where the global communist left is going to blame
- 5:42Trump for all of this inflation.
- 5:44Yeah.
- 5:44They just are.
- 5:45It's oh because of this conflict in Iran and because the straight isn't opened
- 5:49up, there's massive amounts of inflation.
- 5:51So this morning, I'm watching this video of Mamdami in New York.
- 5:57It's okay, this guy, he's not a business guy at all.
- 6:01He's like just pretty much a communist, right?
- 6:04So what is New York, what did he make this grand announcement about?
- 6:09New York City is now gonna have cheap grocery stores, city
- 6:12sponsored grocery stores where people can buy cheap groceries.
- 6:15It's wait a second.
- 6:17Oof.
- 6:17So the reason we have expensive groceries is not because these
- 6:24grocery stores are price gouging.
- 6:27No, grocery store industry has very razor thin margins across the board.
- 6:32Yeah.
- 6:32The reason prices are up is because governments all over
- 6:35the world are printing money like there's no tomorrow, right?
- 6:38So just because you're going to offer lower grocery store prices
- 6:42to consumers, does it mean that the wholesale cost of goods on
- 6:48these products are gonna be lower?
- 6:50No.
- 6:50So what he's gonna do then is create massive shor-
- 6:54shortages of groceries, right?
- 6:57Because if you've got one cheap grocery store that's city sponsored, what about
- 7:02all the other regular grocery stores?
- 7:04I was gonna say we can't pe- compete.
- 7:06We'll just go out of business." And now there's gonna be no food
- 7:09because the producers like the Kellogg's and the General Mills and
- 7:11everybody else in the world is gonna say, "Our prices haven't gone down.
- 7:16We still have this inflation, right?" But how is Mumdami gonna pay for it?
- 7:21How do you pay for cheap groceries and the prices didn't come down with taxes, right?
- 7:26It's like E is going to tax the living daylights out of everybody to offer
- 7:30people in New York cheaper groceries.
- 7:31And this, to me, is the social function side of this Iran conflict,
- 7:39which they're gonna blame Trump for these high prices, right?
- 7:42And so now you've got, during an election year, these politicians
- 7:45saying we're just gonna give you cheap groceries and vote for us." And
- 7:48this is the economic consequences of geopolitical tensions and Trump's gonna
- 7:56get the blame for all of it, right?
- 7:57And what Trump is just trying to do is make sure that the dollar doesn't tank
- 8:03because the rest of the world wants it to.
- 8:05They wanna dedolarize the world.
- 8:07This is why this conflict and winning this conflict is so important.
- 8:12Now, I pray that it gets decisive victory here soon, right?
- 8:17Yeah.
- 8:17Because the longer that this goes on, the more difficult it is for a Trump
- 8:22recovery in, in short order, right?
- 8:25He gotta win this thing, right?
- 8:27We gotta get this thing over with, done, get prices of oil to normalize,
- 8:31get the supply chains back, or else you're gonna see an inflationary
- 8:35spiral that's really nasty.
- 8:38And so I say that as the backdrop to say it's like, all right, some of the
- 8:43stuff we can't change or impact, but we can identify and then act accordingly.
- 8:48And that's where gold and silver really do so very well.
- 8:51Yeah.
- 8:52Now I think that we're gonna be like Mr. T when he fought Rocky he's, they
- 8:57asked him, what do you see about this fight?" He says, "I predict pain." Yeah.
- 9:00So I think that we're gonna see pain, unfortunately, because we have
- 9:03fascism like you're talking about in New York throughout the world.
- 9:07Fascism is basically trying to take down all the other businesses so that their the
- 9:12government sponsored a govern- government controlled stores and so forth businesses,
- 9:17corporations are the ones that prevail and everything else gets wiped out.
- 9:21And that's what we saw with Germany.
- 9:23That's what we call it fascist not Italy, fascist Japan.
- 9:27So we're saying the same thing being repeated right now.
- 9:31So this gas that's not going to, an oil that's not going to New Zealand
- 9:35right now, they've already started to say A, B, C, D, E. So A is all of the
- 9:41government, military, they get first choice, they don't have to stop, keep
- 9:45doing whatever they're doing with the fuel B is the corporations that they
- 9:49choose which corporations they are.
- 9:51They get the B and then the C is like the lower corporations, D is like the
- 9:55even lower corporations like, mom and pop stores and then E is the people.
- 10:00Same thing is happening in Arizona right now.
- 10:03We elections have consequences so if you don't, stop illegal elections
- 10:08that happen in Arizona where Kerry Lake was pushed aside you're
- 10:12going to see the fascism come out.
- 10:14So they're in, they're restricting water in Arizona because they're
- 10:19having all these AI facilities that are coming, 22 or 23 of them, they
- 10:25use tremendous amounts of water.
- 10:28So the government there in Arizona is saying people are gonna have to cut back
- 10:33and those people that are using more than they're allotted are gonna pay a lot more.
- 10:37So- Yeah.
- 10:38... we're seeing this fascism all over the co- all over the world and President
- 10:41Trump is trying to destroy it.
- 10:43So we have to support that but we're gonna see silver prices maybe get a pullback
- 10:48when the economy basically kinks hard, but in the meantime, I think we're gonna
- 10:51see some ridiculously high numbers.
- 10:53What are your thoughts?
- 10:54Oh I agree.
- 10:55It's ... In any bull market, you're gonna have two steps forward, one step
- 10:59back, two steps forward, one step back.
- 11:00So technically speaking, this is like the end of one of those one step backs.
- 11:05This is what the volatility numbers tell us, but let's look at it from
- 11:08even a more fundamental level, right?
- 11:11So if I, if we're to look at gold, for example going all the
- 11:15way back to the late 80s, okay?
- 11:18So in the late 80s, the Berlin Wall came down, the Cold War was over, taxes
- 11:23were down, wages were up, people were working, stock market was booming, right?
- 11:27So the dollar was, like, came, right?
- 11:32So in 19, late 80s, probably call it 1989, central banks around the world had 40%
- 11:40of their reserves in gold, 40%, right?
- 11:44Then what happened during the '90s, the '90s was almost like a lost decade.
- 11:49Yeah.
- 11:50So during that time the dollar was really strong, right?
- 11:54Every, every ... It, the US economy was so good.
- 11:57The dollar was so strong that central banks around the world thought, if we
- 12:02want to hedge and have as a reserve, something that's strong and stable,
- 12:07let's start unwinding some of our gold positions and going to the US
- 12:10dollar because they're a king, right?
- 12:12So during the '90s, the amount of gold held by central banks went from 40% in
- 12:201989, all the way up to 2008 when we had the big massive correction, 10%.
- 12:28So Central Bank holdings of gold went from 40% to 10% by 2008.
- 12:33But what happened in 2008 it was shown that the emperor had no close, right?
- 12:39So the banks were undercapitalized.
- 12:42They were over-leveraged.
- 12:43They were giving money to people who shouldn't have gotten it, and people
- 12:46started to realize, oh, wow, we've got a major issue with the global
- 12:51financial system since 2008, the amount of gold being held by central banks
- 12:58is now past what it was in the late '80s to now it's the number one held
- 13:04asset by central banks as a reserve on the planet across the board.
- 13:10It's not even the US dollar anymore, right?
- 13:12Gold has surpassed the US dollar, which tells us what, tells us that central
- 13:17bankers who always will protect their backsides don't view paper money as
- 13:24especially the US dollar is the strong reserve bellwether currency anymore.
- 13:30They're viewing ... And, but they're not picking any other currency either.
- 13:34They're picking gold, right?
- 13:36Something that's tangible, something that's real.
- 13:38So therefore, we should do, in a sense, the same thing that these central bankers
- 13:44are gonna do to protect their backside.
- 13:47We just don't have to do it by the ton.
- 13:48We can do it by the ounce.
- 13:51We can do silver like at $500 increments, right?
- 13:54We just do small amounts, keep protecting, preserving, growing.
- 13:58So if central banks are going into gold, why do I pick silver?
- 14:02Because silver's outperforming.
- 14:03Yeah.
- 14:04It really has very little supply.
- 14:06The demand is increasing, and so they're gonna go up together.
- 14:10But from a pure- pure fundamental standpoint, this is a paradigm
- 14:16shifting moment in history, where we're moving away from fiat money, as
- 14:21we've known it, to something that's tangible and real, and you've got
- 14:26the supply and demand discrepancies that add the technical support.
- 14:31It's yeah, if you can buy the commodity like silver that the
- 14:34whole world needs, that the world can't get, you should get it, right?
- 14:38Because that's gonna make the prices go up.
- 14:40And that's exactly what we're doing.
- 14:42It's very logical in its approach.
- 14:44I try to strip out the emotion, all the noise that you hear on all the
- 14:49different podcasts, this and that.
- 14:50It's just purely simple and logic.
- 14:54It's a diminishing asset where demand is increasing, you should get it.
- 14:59That's how I look at it.
- 15:01Definitely.
- 15:01And we have probably the new Fed Chairman Warsch signals a new Fed
- 15:06playbook as confirmation nears.
- 15:09So Jerome Powell the outgoing Fed chair is very anti-Trump and he's a
- 15:15globalist, and the Federal Reserve, of course, is globalist, and it doesn't
- 15:20belong anywhere in American society or controlling American economy it's
- 15:24gonna go bye-bye, like the Dodobird, and we're gonna go to Treasury Act.
- 15:28And I think that's where Warsh is gonna come in.
- 15:31He's gonna lower rates and that's gonna stimulate the economy because
- 15:34we're gonna need it going forward.
- 15:36Yeah.
- 15:37Yeah.
- 15:38I mean-
- 15:38And all that goes down, because that's what's gonna happen when rates go down.
- 15:42What does silver and gold do?
- 15:44Boo.
- 15:45It does.
- 15:46Even Ray Dalio had a speech this week.
- 15:48I don't know what network it was on, but he learned a harsh lesson after 1971.
- 15:54And the, he's this little talk he was talking about.
- 15:57It's like-
- 15:57Cool.
- 15:58... I s- I saw when Nixon closed the gold window that, that
- 16:02currencies were going to devalue.
- 16:04And he said, "My mistake was I thought that the stock market was
- 16:08gonna come down because of that.
- 16:09" But what does devaluing of currency mean?
- 16:12It just means you're printing more money.
- 16:14It's not the same as deflation, it's the opposite.
- 16:18Devaluing means you're printing so much money that the currency
- 16:21devalues, it takes more of that junk currency to buy goods and services.
- 16:25So his critical mistake that he learned the hard way was during times
- 16:31of devaluation, when they're printing money, that money finds its way
- 16:35back into the system via stimulus.
- 16:37So the stock market didn't come down like he thought.
- 16:41But here's the thing, what if there is no stimulus?
- 16:44What if there's not enough demand for the currency that you can't keep
- 16:47printing willy-nilly because the inflationary pressures have gone up?
- 16:51So this is where tangible assets are so important because it takes away
- 16:56that counterparty risk of what if?
- 16:59What if, should we rely on stimulus to keep markets propped up or should we not?
- 17:04How about if you don't even have to ask that question because you're going into
- 17:08the asset that goes up anyways, right?
- 17:10And so we're entering in ... The point of his speech was, we're entering
- 17:14into a time of global devaluation of currencies because every country
- 17:17around the world is printing money like there's no tomorrow, right?
- 17:20So this is how we take advantage of it and put a smile on your face and
- 17:25sleep well at night knowing that without leveraging yourself, without
- 17:31adding tons of counterparty risk what if my brokerage firm goes under?
- 17:35What if my bank goes under?
- 17:36It's who cares?
- 17:37Your intangible assets.
- 17:39It's safer that way.
- 17:41There is, it's not attached to anything, and it actually
- 17:44goes up during times like that.
- 17:46Trying to give people peace in the midst of the storm, you have to have
- 17:51the right asset class to do that, and that's where gold and silver come in
- 17:54really well during times like this.
- 17:57Yep.
- 17:58And kepm.com is the place to go, guys.
- 18:02We've been talking about this for years, and I know a lot of you guys have
- 18:04been investing with us for many years.
- 18:06Those of you still on the fence or have been using other methods.
- 18:09This is the best one, I believe, in the whole world.
- 18:12And contact information is, on the same site where you can go
- 18:17in and fill out information and send it in or make a phone call,
- 18:24720-605-3900 to get the best insight that you're gonna have for your future,
- 18:29because we're going to see at some point, we've talked about this for c- quite a
- 18:33while distributions start to come in.
- 18:35It's already started happening.
- 18:37We know that the big guys have been, moving their money out of stocks.
- 18:41That's what they do.
- 18:42They slowly bring it out so people aren't so aware.
- 18:45Of course we've talked about Warren Buffet doing this well over a year ago.
- 18:49So he's always way ahead of the curve.
- 18:51So what happens is as they move their money out, the average investor goes
- 18:55in and just like we saw in 1929, 2008 when the rug pull happens, it's the
- 19:01average investor gets slaughtered.
- 19:03You won't get slaughtered if you're invested in silver and gold guys.
- 19:06So- Yeah.
- 19:07... this is the way to go going forward.
- 19:09We've talked about this.
- 19:10We've asked you, we've, gone all ... We prayed for you I still pray for you
- 19:15that you guys get into silver but it's coming to a head this whole system as
- 19:20you, as we've been, talking about the fascism that's, trying to squeeze us
- 19:24in everywhere, California, New York, Illinois, Arizona around the world
- 19:29throughout Europe, and it's insane.
- 19:32So who's gonna defeat it?
- 19:33We are the American people.
- 19:35We, the people, and combined with other people, we're gonna do that, but you want
- 19:39to be in the best position possible when this thing really unravels and silver's
- 19:43gonna be the thing you wanna be in.
- 19:47Couldn't have said it any better myself.
- 19:48Absolutely.
- 19:49I learned from you.
- 19:51Yeah.
- 19:51I'm repeating what you've been saying for years, so I've learned from the best.
- 19:53Thanks so much for coming on, Dr. Kirk Elliot, Captain Kirk, and we look forward
- 19:58to having you always in the future.
- 20:00Thanks so much for coming in and giving us inspiration and good insights.
- 20:03You bet.
- 20:04My pleasure.
- 20:05We'll talk to you soon.
- 20:06Thank you.
