Transcript
- 0:02Hey guys, we're back. Sorry about the last live
- 0:04stream. Had some technical problems, but
- 0:06let's pick up where we left off first.
- 0:09Let's remember today's a tough day.
- 0:11Silver, last we checked, was down $0.86 per oz.
- 0:16But we did get news from TD Securities, big Canadian bank.
- 0:20They're talking about silver going to $50 if we hold above
- 0:23$31.00 per oz. And thank you to Bald Guy Money.
- 0:26Thank you to Susie for alerting everyone earlier.
- 0:30I need to talk to Bald Guy about his thoughts for the rest of the
- 0:33week. Where do we need to close on
- 0:35Friday? Maybe he'll share that with us.
- 0:37And maybe I'll be able to share that with you later in the week.
- 0:42And there we go. Now we're live.
- 0:43OK guys? Also, OK, we know Oriental Ghost
- 0:48is telling us that silver is the most popular investment right
- 0:52now in China. And Elon Musk, right?
- 0:56Andy Schuckman says put the crumbs together, right?
- 1:00What are all the crumbs? Right.
- 1:01They don't tell us what's really going on.
- 1:03But there's some suspicion, and I'll emphasize suspicion that
- 1:07Elon Musk is trying to shush the silver squeeze movement through
- 1:12his platform X. And why would he want to do
- 1:15that? Because he makes all the he's
- 1:17addicted to silver. OK, now Coin Shop.
- 1:19Chris, a report from the coin shop is telling me of robust
- 1:25retail investor demand for silver right now, a discernible
- 1:30real pick up in people. I think you mentioned one of a
- 1:33professional athlete buying 3 monster boxes of silver.
- 1:37People are buying silver. Some people are selling right,
- 1:41which has to do with the horrific situation that we have
- 1:45right now in the US economy. And I'm going to tell you some
- 1:50Breaking Bad news about the US economy.
- 1:52Remember, I am definitively predicting that in the next six
- 1:57months before the election that we're going to see some carnage
- 2:02of some level, excuse me, recognized in the US economy.
- 2:07Thanks for sticking with me, guys.
- 2:09Thanks for being basement dwellers.
- 2:11I know we had some troubles this morning.
- 2:13I really appreciate you being here, OK And everything you do
- 2:16for this community and I want to make sure, please give this a
- 2:21thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
- 2:25Coin Shop Chris says again, don't be one of the $17.00
- 2:30silver people, the people that are saying I'm going to wait for
- 2:33silver to get the $17.00 before I buy.
- 2:36He's talking about a lot of that crowd showing up now.
- 2:40Kind of regretful that they didn't buy sooner, who knows?
- 2:44And like we talked about 323133 dollar silver after we establish
- 2:50a good strong base in that level, there's very little
- 2:54resistance getting to $50 and that's what this guy from TD
- 2:57Securities told us, right, TD Securities.
- 3:00OK, let's talk about now we we talked about China, who's one of
- 3:05the most who who do you think when when I say most respected
- 3:09names in the precious metal sector, I don't think Ron from
- 3:13Ron's basement's probably popping to the top of your list.
- 3:16However, a name that might pop to the top of your list is
- 3:20Sprott, Sprott Asset Management. They are super respected.
- 3:25And wait till you hear this. What?
- 3:27What if? What?
- 3:29Would it be strange to you if maybe four of the heads of big
- 3:33trading, big commodity metals trading trading companies went
- 3:38to Shanghai recently? Would you find that a little
- 3:40suspicious? Maybe.
- 3:41Wonder why? OK, is there a big short
- 3:44position? Let's just dig right in.
- 3:46Let's get right into this. And here we go.
- 3:51OK. Sprott Money.
- 3:53All right. The China syndrome.
- 3:56Interesting. There's President Xi.
- 3:59Looks like he knows where he is. That's a good first step.
- 4:04Are we witnessing in any epochal shift?
- 4:06Are the Comex in the LBMA losing their roles as precious metal
- 4:11market price maker for the entire world as influence and
- 4:16control shift to China? Maybe.
- 4:20Frankly, it's soon to know. But things certainly appear to
- 4:24be trending in that direction. What did the Oriental ghosts
- 4:27just tell us? Silver, the top most popular
- 4:30investment right now in China. We know the Chinese government
- 4:35is encouraging their citizenry to buy gold and silver.
- 4:41What does that tell us? Think about it.
- 4:43OK, think about it. We know we have pictures of
- 4:47hundreds of thousands of people at times lining up to buy gold
- 4:51and silver in China, OK. And and what would a shift in
- 4:56the balance of pricing power to China mean?
- 4:59The Western fractional reserve Unicorn fart dust and digital
- 5:03derivative pricing scheme has persisted for nearly 50 years.
- 5:07If the price begins to be driven by Eastern physical demand for
- 5:13gold and silver instead of Western paper supply, what might
- 5:20be the impact? Perhaps we're already seeing
- 5:23that over the past week alone the price of physical silver in
- 5:26Shanghai has risen by nearly 15% from $30.00 an ounce to $35.00
- 5:33an ounce. We've covered that ad nauseam
- 5:35now haven't we guys closing on Monday at $35.30.
- 5:40The London New York bullion banks risk losing copious
- 5:44amounts of metal in a physical arbitrage if they don't allow
- 5:49the COMEX price to keep pace. As such, the price on the July
- 5:5424th COMEX silver contract has moved up by almost an identical
- 5:58percentage. OK, here we go.
- 6:01This is where it gets interesting, but in reality more
- 6:04interesting. The bullion banks had no choice
- 6:06but to let the price rise despite the most recent
- 6:09commitment of Traders report that revealed them to be
- 6:12collectively net short over 37,000 COMEX silver contracts.
- 6:19Or Are you ready for this? 190,000,000 ounces of silver net
- 6:24short. OK, short.
- 6:26Meaning they sold it hoping that they would buy it back at a
- 6:30later date at a lower price. Well, that ain't.
- 6:33That's not happening. If the Comex price had remained
- 6:36below $28.00 while the Shanghai price moved to $35, the
- 6:40resulting arbitrage, That's the difference of $7.00 per oz might
- 6:45be profitable. I always I have a It's the
- 6:48simple word. I can't say we're going to try
- 6:50it one more time. Profitable enough to prompt a
- 6:54significant drainage of the COMEX.
- 6:56Volts. Drain the Volts.
- 6:58Sorry, Elon, sorry. We're taking all the silver.
- 7:02Elon. You get no silver for your
- 7:04Teslas or your satellites or your rockets, whatever.
- 7:08OK, solar panels cut between the proverb proverbial rock and a
- 7:14hard place. The banks had no choice but to
- 7:17let the COMEX price rise. But guys, it gets even more
- 7:22intriguing when we look at the next clue that this outstanding
- 7:27article from Sprout Money gives us.
- 7:29But first, just because we like proof, that's what we get right
- 7:34now. OK, here's the reportable
- 7:36positions on May 14th. That was 8 days ago.
- 7:40Long 29,000, Short 66, almost 67,000.
- 7:46That's why we have a net short, major net short position in the
- 7:52silver markets. Let's go down here.
- 7:54Are you ready for this? Out of anticipation and concern,
- 8:01is this why the heads of precious metal trading of four
- 8:06separate bullion banks all took turns stopping by the Shanghai
- 8:11Gold Exchange and Futures Exchange in March and April?
- 8:14This can't be a coincidence. I agree.
- 8:18Were they pleading for mercy and Chinese intervention to control
- 8:22the price? So here we go.
- 8:24Here's the guys that stopped by. Looks like on April 10th
- 8:27Standard Chartered Bank visits. The Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 8:32Oh, on March 28th, JP Morgan, JP Morgan Chase Bank visits the
- 8:39Shanghai Gold Exchange. Oh, March 21st, HSBC Bank visits
- 8:47the Shanghai Gold Exchange. And finally on the 13th of
- 8:50March, Deutsche Bank visits the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 8:54OK, Interesting guys. Interesting.
- 8:59Let's go out and take a quick look.
- 9:01Let's hope it's not gotten uglier.
- 9:03Oh boy, for my blood pressure sake.
- 9:05OK. Hey, we're only down $0.67 and
- 9:08silver. Thank you Pinbex.
- 9:10And since we're doing another live stream, I'll say guys,
- 9:13don't forget who knows when those numbers will be green
- 9:16again? Silver $31.33 If you're looking
- 9:20to get your hands on some silver or gold, do yourself a favor,
- 9:24check out Pinbex. OK, what's going on in the
- 9:27economy? This is just craziness.
- 9:29And this will have a major impact on the metals prices
- 9:34because in the next six months we are going to be heading for,
- 9:39we are going to be heading for a a period of financial difficulty
- 9:45like most of us have never seen during our lifetime.
- 9:49Just making sure we don't have volume going through U.S.
- 9:52Federal budget. Wait till you see this graph.
- 9:55U.S. Federal budget crosses grim
- 9:57milestone as interest payments overtake defense spending.
- 10:03We're spending more on interest. OK. the United States along the
- 10:08world's biggest defense budget spends 900 billion a year on
- 10:11defense. Let's just go down here.
- 10:13This shows it all soaring interest cost.
- 10:16OK, so the interest expense is the red line, interesting.
- 10:22And the Gray line is our defense budget.
- 10:24I was looking back here, I thought like back in 19/19/70
- 10:28when I was born, we spent 110th of what we spend now on National
- 10:34Defense. Absolutely crazy.
- 10:36But nonetheless, the scary part here guys, is that we are now
- 10:39officially paying more in interest on our debt then we are
- 10:44on National Defense. It'd be like if you I don't know
- 10:47how to explain it, Let's say you were let's say you were a renter
- 10:51and you're renting a house for $2000 a month.
- 10:54And you also had a bad habit of racking up other debt like car
- 10:58debt, student loan debt, credit card debt, whatever.
- 11:01And you've not. You keep racking up debt and the
- 11:04rates on that debt keep going up and up.
- 11:06And now you're at a point where not only are you spending two
- 11:09grand a month to rent this house, but your interest expense
- 11:13alone on all that debt that you racked up that you really don't
- 11:16have a lot to show for, is now exceeding 2000, exceeding what
- 11:21you're spending just to provide shelter for yourself and your
- 11:25family. It's not a good situation, but
- 11:27what about what about Target? And then I have a Susie and I
- 11:31have a a financial confession we have to make to you a little
- 11:35insight into our extreme lifestyle that we're lead
- 11:39leading. You know, I put on this show
- 11:41that I'm in the basement, but is there really something else more
- 11:44extravagant going on that you guys need to know about?
- 11:47But what about Target? Target's a bellwether for the US
- 11:51economy and absolute bellwether and what did we hear?
- 11:55This is what this morning Target shares tumble after retailer
- 11:58reports caution about we consumer guys in the next six
- 12:02months. My bold prediction right and I
- 12:07didn't say this six months ago, I didn't never, I've never said
- 12:10that I really believe I am. I am as certain as I can be, but
- 12:15I can definitely be wrong. Don't make any financial
- 12:17decisions based on anything that I say.
- 12:20But I really feel like in the next six months we are going to
- 12:22hit massive turmoil in the US economy.
- 12:26Target shares slumped in pre market trading after the
- 12:29retailers comparable sales missed Wall Street's consensus
- 12:33estimates for the quarter ended May 4th.
- 12:36OK, so that's what about two weeks ago, 18 days ago.
- 12:41This comes as Goldman analysts have warned about faltering low
- 12:46income consumers in the area of failed by Dynomics because it's
- 12:52working. OK.
- 12:53This is where it's a little bit crazy.
- 12:55Comparable sales, those from stores or digital channels
- 12:58operating for at least 12 months, declined by almost 4%.
- 13:04This is Target. This is not Saks 5th Ave. where
- 13:08Susie sometimes shops. This is not Bloomingdale's.
- 13:12OK. This is not.
- 13:13I know I I'm, I'm so out of touch with high end retail.
- 13:16I don't even know any other names to give as examples.
- 13:18This is Target tarjay, right? A step up from Walmart for all
- 13:24you Snooty Target shoppers out there.
- 13:27But it's not Snooty. Target's a discount type store.
- 13:30Target's. Target.
- 13:31Whatever it is, I never like Target.
- 13:34Be honest with you. Anyway, their sales declined by
- 13:364%. That's massive.
- 13:38This is not people splurging. This is if you're going to buy
- 13:42your kid. Like if you're on a budget, you
- 13:45want to buy your kid a little bit nicer clothes or whatever.
- 13:48You go to Target, they have groceries.
- 13:50Target 4% is a big, big number. And then what do we hear from
- 13:55McDonald's? OK, McDonald's prices are up, so
- 14:00lower income consumers are eating at home.
- 14:04Guys, what we're hearing from the likes of McDonald's, Target,
- 14:08Walmart is that people don't. Lower income people don't have
- 14:12money. They can't afford to go to
- 14:14McDonald's anymore. So that's where I have to make
- 14:17this confession to you guys. OK, let's just read this
- 14:20quickly. Some lower income Americans are
- 14:22rejecting McDonald's and opting to cook at home instead, the
- 14:26fast food chains chief financial officer said in an investor
- 14:30conference on Wednesday. He says, quote, it's a
- 14:32challenging consumer environment.
- 14:35Ronald McDonald is not happy. Ian Borden, McDonald's CFO.
- 14:40Oh, that wasn't Ronald McDonald anyway, noting that many
- 14:44consumers are. They used to call me Ronald
- 14:47McDonald when I was a kid. Kind of drove me a little crazy.
- 14:50Anyway, many consumers are trying to manage inflation,
- 14:54higher interest rates and dwindling savings.
- 14:57Whoa, let's let's dig into that for a second.
- 15:01So if you're an average, middle, lower, middle class American,
- 15:04right, you're trying to manage inflation.
- 15:07Everything you buy is going up, up, up in price, higher interest
- 15:10rates, like my earlier example. You maybe you have credit card
- 15:14debt, whatever. You're paying more in interest,
- 15:16but you're getting nothing for right stuff that you bought in
- 15:19the past. And their savings are dwindling.
- 15:23OK, so I guess it's time for me to make this confession.
- 15:27You know, Susie and I are living an extravagant lifestyle because
- 15:32yesterday our daughters faked sick and stayed home from
- 15:36school. Well, one of them stayed home,
- 15:38then the other one called from school and said she didn't feel
- 15:40good. They both were OK.
- 15:42Anyway, I digress. We apparently are living the
- 15:46extravagant middle class lifestyle because I I shot this
- 15:50picture on the way home. That's our, that's my I have a
- 15:5419 year old car that Tuesday and I bought when we were freshly
- 15:58married, Acura TSX and that is the passenger seat.
- 16:02As I was bringing home 2 Happy Meals, some hamburgers and some
- 16:05French fries. We splurged and spent $16.00.
- 16:08So I guess we're living this extravagant lifestyle that a lot
- 16:13of my fellow middle class Americans just can't find, find,
- 16:17find the the money to survive on.
- 16:20I mean, what's it come to? People can't afford McDonald's
- 16:22anymore. It's absolutely crazy.
- 16:25One last thing I want to pull up here.
- 16:28Yesterday, as we were, as I was eating my McDonald's, this
- 16:32popped up on the TV screen. Hold on, why is that not
- 16:37working? There it goes.
- 16:38Yeah, this is CNBC. That's our actual TV and our
- 16:41family room. What's CNBC talking about?
- 16:45Correction ahead for gold, right?
- 16:48Again, the mainstream media is not talking about silver, Not
- 16:52talking about gold. So I snapped this picture so I
- 16:55didn't have time to turn the video camera on.
- 16:57But this guy's talking about gold.
- 16:59Needs to pull back. Gold's not good.
- 17:01Gold. Gold, when the mainstream media,
- 17:05when the average people out there wake up to what's going on
- 17:09in the gold and silver market, it's going to be a very, very
- 17:14good time for us as investors. OK.
- 17:17Hey, guys, thank you for being here.
- 17:19Thank you for the silver you send me in the mail.
- 17:21Sorry about the technical problems that we had earlier
- 17:25today. Thank you to our sponsors,
