Transcript
- 0:10Did you hear the latest news on gold and silver from Costco?
- 0:15I guess they put out their earnings last week.
- 0:17Let's go out there and what would it mean?
- 0:19Let me ask you this, if the mainstream media really starts
- 0:23to pick up on the gold story and the silver story, OK?
- 0:28Because guys, remember, what does it mean to you when you
- 0:32realize that this massive rally that we've had in the silver
- 0:37market and the gold market over the last three to four months,
- 0:40this massive big rally was done in the headwinds, right?
- 0:46In, in the worst environment from a Western perspective, high
- 0:51interest rates, right? A strong dollar and almost no
- 0:57interest in precious metals in the Western countries.
- 1:00ETF outflows, GLD, maybe that's why they're letting them buy the
- 1:04GLD and the SLV money coming out of the ETFs, gold and silver.
- 1:10Stop. Think about this.
- 1:12Is it? Does this does this computing
- 1:14for you? Gold ran up to 2400, right Now
- 1:17it's, well, you know, 2300 dollar, 2340, whatever it is per
- 1:22oz. Silver's hugging $30 per oz.
- 1:26It did that in the most difficult environment possible
- 1:30for from a Western perspective, the richest country in the
- 1:34world, the United States of America.
- 1:36What does that mean? If things turn around a little
- 1:38bit, what does it mean, right, if people start putting money
- 1:42into SLV, putting money into GLV.
- 1:47If the American public that's already been slapped across,
- 1:50you've been slapped across the face with inflation, gets hit
- 1:54with another wave of inflation and they get slapped the second
- 1:58time. They're like, you know what?
- 2:00You slapped me once. You aren't going to slap me that
- 2:03bad again. I'm going to go buy some silver
- 2:05or gold. What if the mainstream media
- 2:08starts to pick up? What's the biggest when when you
- 2:10think mainstream media in the United States?
- 2:13You're probably around my age. I'm 54 years old, right?
- 2:16We're young at heart, basement dwellers.
- 2:18And by the way, I'm going to thank you again for being here.
- 2:20And by the way, let's put up our banner to say thank you to our
- 2:25sponsors and thank you to all you that have sent me ounces of
- 2:28silver over the last couple years.
- 2:30I was thinking about that last night.
- 2:31How nice. Nonetheless, we're brothers.
- 2:35We're all around the same age ish, right?
- 2:38What's mainstream media to you? To me, there's nothing more
- 2:41mainstream than the NBC News. And what is their big story?
- 2:47And it's not just NBC News, it's all over again the mainstream
- 2:51media. Costco, right?
- 2:54Costco that is America, even though honestly I've never been
- 2:58inside of a Costco been in a Sam's Club and an ALDI, but
- 3:01nonetheless it is America. I'm a rebel.
- 3:04Are you a rebel? Have you ever been in a Costco
- 3:06anyway says gold buyers are helping drive up its online
- 3:11sales. OK that's great that's awesome.
- 3:13We love that. But this is what we want to pay
- 3:15attention to NBC News AOL and there's some stuff in here that
- 3:19is going to make your skin curl crawl crawl, crawl.
- 3:24Anyway, the about about the mainstream financials of this is
- 3:29and it's a great little nugget for a silver and gold investors.
- 3:32The retailers e-commerce sales jumped 20% OK with growth quote
- 3:38led by gold and silver bullions. They listed that first notice
- 3:43that gift cards and appliances continuing a round of strong
- 3:46demand for its precious metal products.
- 3:49Hold on. I'm going to get a drink of
- 3:50coffee and then you're going to you're you're going to get a
- 3:52nugget and your skin's going to crawl.
- 3:59OK, Think about this. e-commerce sales jumped by 20% and they're
- 4:05listing gold and silver, and they're also saying it's because
- 4:08of gift cards and appliances. Do you really think gift card
- 4:13sales suddenly spiked out of the blue?
- 4:16Why would that happen? OK, so it's not really gift
- 4:19cards, in my opinion. Appliances.
- 4:22Really. People are suddenly buying
- 4:24appliances? Was there any catalyzing event
- 4:26that would have caused people to buy 20% more appliances?
- 4:30No, it's because of gold and silver.
- 4:33It's because the people that shop at Costco.
- 4:35Maybe that's why I don't go there.
- 4:37I think are pretty smart. Like my neighbors that go there
- 4:40are usually like smart, educated people.
- 4:44Costco made only a single terse mention of this is NBC.
- 4:48This is mainstream precious metals in its latest earnings
- 4:51call, but reinforced that analysts were on to something
- 4:55when they flagged strong demand for the retailers gold bars and
- 4:59silver coins this spring. OK, that's the the chief
- 5:03financial officer I already kind of read that to you.
- 5:06Remember Wells Fargo researchers estimated in early April that
- 5:10members only retailer had been pulling in between 100 million
- 5:14and 200 million in monthly revenue from the products.
- 5:18This is silver and gold after rolling them out last summer.
- 5:22OK, by December, Costco said it was already selling over 100
- 5:27million in gold bars within the space of 1/4 and sometimes
- 5:31running out in just hours. These are probably new stackers,
- 5:35new people coming into precious metals.
- 5:39Eventually they'll wise up and they'll start buying more and
- 5:43more, right? And they'll go to places like
- 5:45Pembek's, right? They'll go to the big online
- 5:47bullion dealers. Excuse me when they realize that
- 5:51they want to work with specialists when they're buying.
- 5:53Now, let's talk about, let's say here, here's this.
- 5:56I want to point this out. NBC News says the gold rush is
- 6:00the latest sign that some consumers remain hot on
- 6:03perceived safe investments. Now, this is the this is where
- 6:06your skin crawls. This is where your skin crawls.
- 6:09And there's a little bit of a nugget in here, OK, Lee Baker,
- 6:15they got, they're talking to this guy named Lee Baker.
- 6:17Lee's the founder of the planning firm Apex Financial
- 6:21Services and president of the AARP of Georgia.
- 6:24All right, listen to what he says here.
- 6:28Couple things he mentions. He says, I haven't had a single
- 6:31client ask me about buying gold. Baker conceded.
- 6:36Now, this is what gets me. This is what keeps the skin
- 6:39crawling, OK? And there's two things that we
- 6:41need to consider when we're when we're thinking about this.
- 6:45Unlike other assets, they say this all the time about precious
- 6:49metals don't produce any cash flow through yields or interest.
- 6:55No, they just go up in value and protect you against inflation.
- 7:00No, number one, right, OK. Number one, they don't produce
- 7:05cash flow, of course, right, or a yield or anything else.
- 7:09But they also, Lee, don't have any counterparty risk if you
- 7:13hold that gold, if you hold that silver, which all these Costco
- 7:17people are starting to realize, you don't have to rely on
- 7:20anybody else or anything to provide you with the value,
- 7:25right? There's no promise, There's no
- 7:26contract. If you hold it in your hand, you
- 7:29own it. So number one, I get sick of
- 7:32hearing these people say this. Oh, it doesn't produce any cash
- 7:35flow. It doesn't, whatever.
- 7:37The other thing I'll say to Lee is this, the other thing that
- 7:42gold and silver don't do, and you got to realize this, this
- 7:45mainstream financial services industry is powerful, right?
- 7:50And they'll always say stuff like this.
- 7:52But what do you think it means if you consider the fact that
- 7:55the other thing that gold and silver don't do or provide
- 7:59people that are in the financial services industry with any type
- 8:03of recurring Commission, excuse me?
- 8:07Because when they put you into a mutual fund or they put you
- 8:10into, into any other number of, of, of, of quote UN quote
- 8:14investments, they make a recurring Commission year after
- 8:18year after year on the money you have.
- 8:21And, and many, many times in those investments, gold and they
- 8:24don't, one of the reasons they don't like gold and silver,
- 8:27right? And they will, they'll probably
- 8:29come up with some tricky way to trick the public.
- 8:31They won't trick you. You won't fall for it 'cause
- 8:33I'll point it out to you when it happens, but there's no real
- 8:37investment option available for the financial services industry
- 8:41that allows them to milk the general public.
- 8:44OK, so they're always going to say, oh, gold and silver, you
- 8:47need to put your money into into the stock market.
- 8:51You need to put your money into, excuse me, into a bond fund or
- 8:56something where I can make a recurring Commission off you.
- 9:00So very interesting, very exciting though the also
- 9:05regarding this is the fact that the mainstream media, NBC
- 9:09starting to pick up for us on the gold and silver movement.
