- 0:00Are your silver and gold a foolish investment?
- 0:03Did you make a mistake? Some big name people really
- 0:08dislike silver and gold. You may be like me, none of us
- 0:13knows for certain and may be worried.
- 0:16Was it a bad decision to invest in silver?
- 0:19To invest in gold? What about precious metal mining
- 0:24stocks? In this video, we're going to
- 0:27talk about who these big name people are, but more
- 0:32importantly, why they are wrong. Let's get started right now.
- 0:41You know who the biggest of the big name people are?
- 0:45You're right. That's you.
- 0:46It's a big deal that you're here in the basement with me.
- 0:49Welcome basement dweller. We got a great club of people
- 0:53here who love to talk about silver, gold.
- 0:55We're basement dwellers because we like to dig a little deeper.

- 1:03thumbs up. Super chat, super thanks are a
- 1:05super appreciated. But who are these big name
- 1:10people? Other big name people that don't
- 1:13like silver and gold? Warren Buffett, Dave Ramsey and
- 1:19John Maynard Keynes. Are they wrong?
- 1:21This article from Zero Hedge points out that John Maynard
- 1:25Keynes, the godfather of money, printing of Fiat money, right?
- 1:31He famously called gold a barbarous relic.
- 1:35Specifically, what he hated about gold and silver are that
- 1:39they placed a constraints on government spending.
- 1:42Well, go figure. We know how that's worked out,
- 1:45right? Following in Kane's footsteps,
- 1:47investment whiz kid Warren Buffett, son of the great
- 1:50investor and Congressman Howard Buffett.
- 1:53Warren Buffett his famously disparaged gold as an
- 1:57investment, saying it has quote, UN quote, no yield.
- 2:02And hotshot radio voice Dave Ramsey has likewise sharply
- 2:08disparaged gold as an investment, saying it's, quote,
- 2:12just a shiny, shiny rock with no yield and that it's a terrible
- 2:18investment. Now let's look at the reasons
- 2:21why Dave Ramsey, Warren Buffett and John Maynard Keynes could
- 2:26likely be wrong. You never know.
- 2:28We may eventually have all three of them down here in the
- 2:30basement with us. This hatred and disparagement of
- 2:34gold and silver as money and the gold standard has become
- 2:39standard dogma of the pillar of the modern state, the
- 2:43government. The message from the government
- 2:47and from the central banks is gold's no good, silver is no
- 2:52good. But that begs the question, why
- 2:54do they hate gold? Why do they hate silver so much?
- 2:58I propose that maybe they feel threatened.
- 3:02In complete contrast, regular people in society still
- 3:06instinctively see gold and silver as an emblem of
- 3:10excellence. More than half a century since
- 3:13the last vestige of the gold standard was taken away from US,
- 3:17gold medals still represent the very best achievements.
- 3:21Silver medals represent the next level down.
- 3:25Teachers and parents still use the star system, with gold or
- 3:29yellow stars or Silver Stars representing the highest
- 3:33achievement. From babies to high school
- 3:36students, gold stars are still an inducement to effort and
- 3:41achievement later in life. Gifts of gold jewelry, silver
- 3:46jewelry are used to convey our affection and admiration.
- 3:50Even marketers of companies and company products where there's a
- 3:54profit and loss prime directive strive to be able to claim that
- 3:59their company, their product or their service is the gold
- 4:04standard in their industry or with their customers.
- 4:08We see gold and silver and platinum checking accounts at
- 4:13our banks, even places like Six Flags.
- 4:15As we look at their 2025 season pass offering, what do we see
- 4:21right above the $59? It's the gold pass.
- 4:25Do you think it's safe to say that gold and silver are
- 4:29embedded in our very fabric everywhere, throughout our
- 4:33country, in the United States and Canada, all throughout
- 4:37Europe? Everyone knows instinctively
- 4:41that gold and silver are the most valuable.
- 4:45When humans started to see the world in terms of its elements,
- 4:49humanity took off. The Bronze Age.
- 4:51Society, culture, religion, building, science, etcetera.
- 4:55Gold was the rarest and most precious, even cherished of
- 4:59them. Human history is replete with
- 5:01gold exclamations, whether it's in culture, religion, art, and
- 5:05now technology and even medicine.
- 5:07The greatest age of peace and prosperity is the gold standard
- 5:13era of the 20, I'm sorry, the 19th century.
- 5:16What about investment comparisons, as we're talking
- 5:19about what Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Buffett and Mr. Keynes as they
- 5:22disparage our gold, how did it compare over the years to other
- 5:27investments? First of all, gold's primarily
- 5:30not an investment. Gold and silver are monies, the
- 5:33most advanced forms of money for thousands of years before this
- 5:38current age which we're living in, which could be the age of
- 5:41inflation, the age of paper money, the age of make believe
- 5:45Unicorn fart dust. Technically, gold and silver are
- 5:49not money now, but only because they were forced out of that
- 5:54role by the state. Gold shackles the state paper
- 5:57money unleashes it from its golden cage.
- 6:00Murray Rothbard explains this in his What His Government Done to
- 6:04Our Money, which is a very important work for all of us to
- 6:08read. When it comes to investment
- 6:10returns, gold can underperform stock investments.
- 6:14However, when you look at the average closing prices for gold,
- 6:19the Dow and the S&P 500 during 1971 when we were taken off the
- 6:26gold standard, and last year, 2023.
- 6:31If you divide the 2023 price of gold by the 1971 price of gold,
- 6:37gold went up 47 1/2 times. The Dow during that same period
- 6:42only went up 38.6 times, and the S&P went up only 44 point six
- 6:49times. Gold wins.
- 6:53Do you agree that maybe Mr. Buffett, Mr. Ramsey, and even
- 6:58Mr. Caines are wrong? Does the evidence show us that
- 7:02for thousands of years gold and silver have won and it's very
- 7:07likely that they will continue to win as we move into the
- 7:12coming decades and centuries? Hey, thank you for joining me
