Transcript
- 0:02Utah just passed some ground breaking legal tender
- 0:07legislation. We're talking about 10%.
- 0:10This could be the start of something huge in the United
- 0:14States for precious metals. We're going to talk about that
- 0:17and a lot more. Thank you for being here.
- 0:19You are the most important part of Ron's basement.
- 0:21Please give this a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel.
- 0:24If you want a piece of silver and gold oriented content every
- 0:28day, seven days a week, you're in the right place and you might
- 0:31just make some new friends. That's the last time I'll say
- 0:34that the whole video What else are we going to talk about?
- 0:37The silver and gold price zoomed higher yesterday.
- 0:41Why? We're going to look at some
- 0:43interesting data in that area as well.
- 0:46Also, we've got a little economic doom.
- 0:49And our friend Rafi Farber, well, I think of him as a
- 0:53friend. Doesn't everybody?
- 0:54He's such a smart, nice person. But he put out a little piece of
- 0:58research yesterday that turned on, believe it or not, you know,
- 1:02you may be about my age. There's a few more light bulbs
- 1:05up here turned on a light bulb for me, and I want to share that
- 1:08with you as well. But first, let's say happy
- 1:11birthday to one of our fellow basement dwellers, Annie Oakley.
- 1:16She's been part of the basement Dweller community for a long
- 1:19time, a big supporter of the channel.
- 1:21Happy birthday to you, Annie. Happy Happy birthday.
- 1:25We hope you have a great day. All right, so gold and silver
- 1:28zoomed higher yesterday. We would be remiss not to
- 1:33mention that we had talked about over the weekend, right?
- 1:36That the Chinese market would be opening yesterday, and that
- 1:40would likely have a big impact on the demand side for silver
- 1:45and gold. And it appears that's exactly
- 1:48what we saw. Hey, Annie.
- 1:49There you are. Happy birthday.
- 1:52Let's go check out our good friend.
- 1:54Right. We love this guy.
- 1:56Hey, we need to have him join us here in the basement.
- 1:59What do you guys say? The Oriental ghost, right?
- 2:02He's always giving us this insight from China.
- 2:04But it's not just the prices we're going to look at today.
- 2:08Look what the ghost told us. Today.
- 2:10The People's Bank of China announced data increasing their
- 2:15holdings of gold reserves for the 18th consecutive month.
- 2:20Right. That's breaking news because up
- 2:23to this point it was 17 months. I know I'm good with math, as
- 2:27you can tell, but the 17 months was an actual record.
- 2:32So now we're at 18 months. The PBOC, the People's Bank of
- 2:36China, PBOC, we'll call that from now on, continues to buy
- 2:40more and more gold. And hey, since we're here, let's
- 2:42just go check and see if maybe, just maybe, do you think maybe
- 2:47silver and gold are being sold at a higher price in U.S.
- 2:51dollars in China? No, that couldn't be the case.
- 2:55Well, indeed it is. If we look at this top line
- 2:57here, silver closed $30.54 on the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 3:04That's the SGE. Silver closed at $30.59 on the
- 3:10Shanghai Futures Exchange. What about did I say gold?
- 3:13I meant to say silver. Gold closing at 2350 basically
- 3:18and 2370. This is in U.S. dollars guys,
- 3:22right here on the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
- 3:25But we got to mention this as well.
- 3:28The bolts of the Shanghai Futures Exchange dropped
- 3:30significantly again and hit a new record low since 2020.
- 3:36Is that why we had this big move up yesterday?
- 3:39Silver had a huge day, right? Gold had a good big gold, a gold
- 3:44golden day. Is this why?
- 3:47Yes, it's a major component. People are starting to wake up
- 3:51in the United States to this. We're hearing the mainstream
- 3:54media. I saw an article from ABC News
- 3:57the other day about gold demand in China, that China is taking
- 4:02control of the gold and silver markets.
- 4:06Let's talk about something super interesting that Rafi Farber
- 4:09said. He has a sub stack.
- 4:11OK, where you can read, you can subscribe, you can donate.
- 4:15He puts out some really awesome information.
- 4:18I would highly recommend you check out Raffi RAIRAFI, Farber
- 4:24FARBER on substack. You can put those 3 words into
- 4:28your Google search bar and check it out.
- 4:31But he said something that it just it made sense to me like
- 4:35never ever before. We talk about this as silver
- 4:39investor and and gold investors right?
- 4:41Like oh, when would you ever sell gold?
- 4:43When would you ever sell you're silver, right?
- 4:47We all we recommend, right? Not selling it, not converting
- 4:51it into paper money, but converting it into other real
- 4:56assets. If we get to that point, and I
- 4:58think we will, but I want to use the word if because I don't know
- 5:02for sure, nobody can predict the future, but the laws of
- 5:05mathematics are certainly on our side that at some point we're
- 5:08going to have massive price. Are you ready?
- 5:11Are you mentally ready for massive price increases in
- 5:15silver and gold? And at that point you want to
- 5:18have a plan, right? You're planning ahead by owning
- 5:21the silver and gold. But if we do have a massive up
- 5:24move, you want to have some type of idea, right?
- 5:28Just like you're prepared now by holding the silver and gold, do
- 5:31you want to be prepared if you get in a situation where maybe
- 5:34you convert some silver into gold, maybe you convert some
- 5:38gold into rental real estate property or into land or into
- 5:42some piece of machinery that you can use to generate an income
- 5:45you always want to convert into other real assets?
- 5:48That's not what Rafi talked about.
- 5:50Let me read you what he said, OK.
- 5:52He said or I said this, don't be or he said this.
- 5:56Don't be focused on gold and dollars.
- 5:59Be focused on the relative value relative to other things.
- 6:03Actually, I said that, he said here yesterday, Gold's up 1% in
- 6:07dollars and on the verge of breaking through the 200 week
- 6:12moving average relative to other commodities.
- 6:17OK, a very rare event. This is very, a very rare event
- 6:21that has only happened three times since 2008.
- 6:24So I'm going to pull up a chart for you.
- 6:27OK. This is a chart of gold you can
- 6:31see in the upper left corner to the CRB index.
- 6:34And the CRB index is the Commodity Research Bureau index.
- 6:39It's a price weighted index that tracks the performance of
- 6:42various commodities. And so it tracks all
- 6:45commodities. So this chart is comparing the
- 6:48price of gold to this index. And as you can see on that red
- 6:52line, it's getting ready to breakthrough the 200 week moving
- 6:58average, which is a rare event. And what that shows us is that
- 7:02gold is becoming more valuable relative to a basket of
- 7:07commodities. But why is that important?
- 7:10Rafi says the focus should be on gold's behavior relative to
- 7:14other commodities, which is what makes it the best money, not its
- 7:19value in dollars. And then he says in parentheses
- 7:22though this obviously is also important.
- 7:25It's it's a big mistake to confuse a gold bull market with
- 7:29a commodity bull market. People are way too hyper focused
- 7:34on gold in dollar terms. But it's gold's behavior
- 7:38relative to other commodities that makes it good money, right?
- 7:43When we see gold, and we've talked about that before guys,
- 7:46you know that that that you always want to track the value
- 7:49of your silver, the value of your gold, count it in ounces,
- 7:54but then on top of that, don't value it in dollars.
- 7:58I used to coin shop Chris, right?
- 8:00A good friend of the channel. I met him, he sent me an e-mail
- 8:04of the first e-mail he ever sent me was of a head of lettuce at
- 8:07his local grocery store for $5. He's like, Can you believe this?
- 8:12And we joked around because silver was like $20.00 an ounce
- 8:16at that time And I said, yeah, so an ounce of silver is worth 4
- 8:20heads of lettuce. Are you kidding me, Right?
- 8:23Would you trade an ounce of your silver for four heads of
- 8:27lettuce? No.
- 8:28But would you trade an ounce of silver for a truckload of 5000
- 8:33heads of lettuce? Maybe if you like salad or have
- 8:38a rabbit farm, or think that you could get rid of them, sell them
- 8:42to a grocery store or something else.
- 8:44The point is, you want to value the metals relative to other
- 8:49real things. The lettuce is just an example.
- 8:52You can use barrels of oil. You can compare gold and silver
- 8:55to each other. Thank you, Craig.
- 8:57Hold on one second here. If it goes, let's see what he
- 9:00had to say here, Craig. Yeah, you're up on the screen,
- 9:03my friend. If it goes to a dollar again and
- 9:06I could buy a dollar's worth of stuff, I'll be happy.
- 9:09Yes, very interesting. Thank you.
- 9:11Thank you for the Super chat. And our friend Chris Dubois.
- 9:16Uh, oh, hold on. What am I doing here?
- 9:19Here we go. All right.
- 9:21Hello, Christopher looks like a grandson playing basketball
- 9:25there. Thank you for the Super chat as
- 9:27well. That's how we want to value and
- 9:30you always want to keep. And that's what Rafi is saying.
- 9:32The value of gold is most importantly measured against a
- 9:36basket of other commodities. So as that index breaks through
- 9:40that 200 week moving average, that can be very super bullish
- 9:45for the price of silver and the price of gold.
- 9:48Thank you, Rafi. I hope you don't mind that I use
- 9:51some of your expert analysis on my live stream this morning.
- 9:54Don't forget you can check out Rafi Farber Substack.
- 9:56Put in Rafi Farber substack into your search bar.
- 9:59OK, Utah, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I I owe you an apology.
- 10:05I should have led with this story.
- 10:07Utah passes ground breaking silver and gold legislation.
- 10:12This could, right? This could be the beginning of
- 10:15something very big for us silver and gold investors.
- 10:19Maybe we want to move to Utah. I think maybe after you hear
- 10:22about this, you may indeed be packing up.
- 10:26Why don't we all move to Utah, huh?
- 10:27I wonder if they have basements up there anyway.
- 10:32Could be the start of something huge for silver and gold.
- 10:35All these pieces are coming together for the silver and gold
- 10:39market. It's super interesting.
- 10:41Let's go out to our friend Mike Mahari at the 10th Amendment
- 10:45Center. He was a guest here in the
- 10:47basement at one point. Really a smart guy.
- 10:50Really a great guy. There it is right there, the
- 10:5210th Amendment Center. Let's read this.
- 10:55Here we go now. In effect, now in effect, Utah
- 10:58law authorizes state gold and silver reserves.
- 11:04I don't know if this is the first maybe, maybe Tennessee,
- 11:07but this is a huge, huge piece of information.
- 11:11On Wednesday, a Utah law creating a process for the state
- 11:14to invest in and hold precious metals in reserve accounts went
- 11:19into effect. This sets a foundation for the
- 11:23Beehive State. You learn something new in the
- 11:27basement every day. So do I Utah apparently is
- 11:30called the Beehive State to achieve more financial
- 11:32independence. And I don't know, maybe we don't
- 11:35want to move to Utah if we're going to be chased around by
- 11:37bees all the time. Take a small step toward
- 11:41undermining the Federal Reserve's monopoly on money.
- 11:45Here's the raps that put this through.
- 11:47That's great. Governor Spencer Cox signature
- 11:52and the law went into effect on May 1st whole.
- 11:55This is where it gets interesting.
- 11:56Holding gold and silver will allow the state of Utah to
- 12:00shield its assets and hedge against rapidly depreciating
- 12:02Federal Reserve notes. Adding gold and silver in
- 12:05reserve could also create a pathway for Utah to maintain
- 12:09financial independence should the US dollar collapse.
- 12:13A very real possibility as the world moves away from the
- 12:17greenbacks as its reserve currency.
- 12:19A press release. All right, now.
- 12:22Now then, we're going to talk about why this is such a huge
- 12:25deal for US gold and silver investors.
- 12:28We'll position Utah to weather the economic turbulence and
- 12:31inflation resulting from decades of federal fiscal recklessness.
- 12:37That's a mouthful, but that's true.
- 12:39Federal fiscal recklessness, Gold and silver had been the
- 12:42best rainy day investments since NOAA.
- 12:45That's the part. Oh my gosh, you got to love it.
- 12:48This was in a press release. The best silver and gold have
- 12:52been the best raining day investments since NOAA.
- 12:54I'm going to use that in the future.
- 12:56And when I say I can't remember where I read it, somebody please
- 12:59remind me. Utah, Utahns.
- 13:02Utahns. I guess those are that's what
- 13:04we're going to be called when we're up there running from bees
- 13:07with piles of silver and gold in our hands.
- 13:10We're going to be Utahns. No, a nation cannot print
- 13:13prosperity. Sound money is the key to a
- 13:16sound economy and real sound wealth.
- 13:18This is where it gets interesting.
- 13:19Under the new law, the state treasurer is authorized to
- 13:23invest up to 10% of certain funds in silver.
- 13:28Gold. Yes, Neil can move to Utah with
- 13:32US platinum, copper or Palladium.
- 13:37The following funds qualify, the state Disaster Recovery Fund,
- 13:41the general Fund. Wow, that's the big one, I
- 13:43think. Income Tax Fund and the Medicaid
- 13:46Growth Fund. The new law requires the
- 13:50treasurer to conduct a study analyzing the role of precious
- 13:54metals and augmenting. I think that means helping,
- 13:58stabilizing and ensuring the economic security and prosperity
- 14:01of the state, the families and residents of the state, which
- 14:05might be you and I. I won't mention us moving to
- 14:07Utah again during this live stream, live stream and the
- 14:10business in the state. Are you ready to move to Utah?
- 14:17I bet honey. I bet honey's cheap up there,
- 14:20honey. Right, Buttercup?
- 14:21I like to call you guys buttercup.
- 14:22The bees are going to be chasing you around up there, but you're
- 14:25going to be in a state where you can hold 10% of your wealth in
- 14:29silver and gold. Now, I want to talk about two
- 14:32things, #1 Utah was one, as I understand, one of the first
- 14:35states to pass any form of legal tender legislation.
- 14:39So now they're passing this law that allows 10% of the state's
- 14:43wealth essentially to be invested into silver, gold and
- 14:47other metals, other precious metals.
- 14:50That's number one. So they've led the country with
- 14:53legal tender legislation. Now, are they leading the
- 14:55country with this? And what kind of demand could
- 14:59this potentially create? What if all the states wake up,
- 15:03right? Right.
- 15:04Like the Costco people are waking up?
- 15:06What if all the states? What if half the states?
- 15:08What if ten of the states wake up?
- 15:12What is that gonna do for the demand profile of silver and
- 15:16gold? Thank you Ron McAdams for the
- 15:18Super Chat. That's super awesome, you guys.
- 15:21I appreciate all the support. So that's where it gets very,
- 15:25very exciting for us as silver and gold investors.
- 15:29I know right now today as we're talking right now live Daniel
- 15:34Diaz and from the Citizens for Sound Money and Patrick Holland
- 15:40from the Missouri Freedom Initiative are in Jefferson
- 15:43City, MO working diligently right the the Missouri legal
- 15:48tender legislation has passed the Senate I believe it is and
- 15:51is now in going in front of the house.
- 15:53These guys are working right and Missouri's the center of the
- 15:57country. The only thing better than Utah
- 15:59doing this would be if Missouri right?
- 16:01The heartbeat of the country. Saint Louis the Arch.
- 16:05That's why they built the Arch. You probably don't know that
- 16:07it's the magnetic center of the country.
- 16:11Is the Arch made out of silver? Have you ever asked yourself
- 16:13that question? I'm not gonna let you in on that
- 16:15one. You have to come here and find
- 16:16out for yourself. None the less, Citizens for
- 16:21Sound Money are working diligently and they've worked
- 16:24all throughout the country. If you want to donate to them,
- 16:26they are a not-for-profit, a not-for-profit.
- 16:29Go in there right when you're done looking up Rafi Farber put
- 16:32in Citizens for Sound Money. Their website is Citizens, the
- 16:36number for sound money and you can make a donation.
- 16:39They would appreciate it. OK, Like I said, it's a
- 16:42not-for-profit organization. Mainstream media.
- 16:45Did we? We wished Annie Oakley happy
- 16:47birthday again. Happy birthday, Annie Oakley.
- 16:50Mainstream Media encouraging people to sell gold.
- 16:54What? What?
- 16:56What? What?
- 16:57Hold on here. Uh oh, here we go.
- 17:01Let me bring you back from our friend.
- 17:05A Gold Star, right? This is also a sub stack run by
- 17:11our friend John Little, Big John Little at the Pickaxe.
- 17:15And so it begins. Western mainstream media
- 17:17tricking people into selling their gold before it goes five
- 17:21times higher. Gold's going five times higher.
- 17:24Let's see, That would be a little under $12,000 based on my
- 17:29mathematics, I think we like that, don't we?
- 17:32Over the past decades, the mainstream media narrative,
- 17:36especially in the financial news, has often portrayed gold
- 17:39as a shiny rock or a barbarous relic, dismissing its values and
- 17:44investment. So now, now, and are you
- 17:46noticing this? You will start noticing a shift
- 17:49from bashing gold. Interesting to sell your gold.
- 17:53They can't just trick us about bashing it anymore.
- 17:59Now they want you to sell your gold.
- 18:00Don't fall for this sneaky trick that goes for you basement
- 18:03dwellers. You can convert your gold.
- 18:05Let's talk about that. Look, I'm not telling you what
- 18:08to do. I'm just giving you my opinion.
- 18:10But if I if I were going to either sell gold to get Unicorn
- 18:14fart dust paper money or I could convert it and I don't even know
- 18:19what the race the gold to silver ratio, but I would convert gold
- 18:22into silver, take one ounce of gold into a coin shop and walk
- 18:26out with four tubes of American Silver Eagles and probably some
- 18:30other miscellaneous. Don't take Fiat for that change.
- 18:34Make sure if you're going to take Fiat, you get a
- 18:36constitutional silver. But that's what I would do.
- 18:40Hey, sell your gold to the government and take your 37%
- 18:43profit. Then John goes on to talk about
- 18:46this guy Luke Grohlman talking about a $20,000 per oz call for
- 18:49many reasons. OK, all about that.
- 18:53All about China and bricks. We're not going to dive into
- 18:56that now, but the point here is, and are you seeing it?
- 18:59Where was I the other day? I was driving home from my mom
- 19:01and dad's house going down the highway and I counted 3.
- 19:06I was in Saint Charles County, Missouri, 3 billboards.
- 19:11One was an electronic one. But I counted 3 signs that said
- 19:14we buy gold, we buy gold, we'll buy your gold.
- 19:17And I thought I just had a feeling like people selling gold
- 19:22for cash is a bad idea anyway. But these kind of, I hate to
- 19:25say, rinky dink. Rinky dink operations are
- 19:29probably taking full advantage of people when they come in
- 19:33there with their gold to sell. So don't sell your gold, guys,
- 19:37please. If anything, convert it.
- 19:40Unless you need money, right? Unless you need money for some
- 19:42reason. Let's talk about silver.
- 19:45This is one of our favorite Smartest analyst investment
- 19:51advisors, Jamie Carrasco. OK, I love this guy.
- 19:56Right? He's a senior investment advisor
- 19:57and portfolio manager with Canaccord.
- 20:00How do you say that? Genuity Financial.
- 20:02Nonetheless, he had something super interesting to say about
- 20:05Silver. Don't forget, OK don't forget
- 20:09India and their love for silver slippers as of late.
- 20:13My favorite asset class. So if I are you reading that the
- 20:17way I am? Our friend Jamie is telling us
- 20:20that Silver is his favorite asset class.
- 20:23OK, we'll skip over the Agnico Eagle earnings comment.
- 20:27He said to be lucky enough. All right, we're lucky.
- 20:31You feel lucky? I feel lucky that you're joining
- 20:33me here in the basement. It is a big deal.
- 20:35OK, Super Chats, subscriptions, and what's oh thumbs up are much
- 20:40appreciated. But are we all so lucky?
- 20:43We're all lucky to be together. I'm telling you, there's a lot
- 20:45of nice people in the chat. If you subscribe to the channel,
- 20:48you're able to chat. You can make some friends.
- 20:50We are lucky guys, but we're not just lucky because of that.
- 20:54We're lucky enough to be to live through the interesting times of
- 20:59another currency shift. That's what's happening right
- 21:02now. DE dollarization, right,
- 21:06Idenomics, it's working, right. We are living through a currency
- 21:11shift while speculating with history that gold is in the mix
- 21:16again, and yet only 1% of global wealth is suitably positioned to
- 21:22ride it out. By the time the price of gold
- 21:24finishes rising to where it has to to replace the US dollar in
- 21:29global trade settlement, that settlement silver.
- 21:33Are you ready for the silver news will have moved
- 21:36exponentially more. That means if silver goes up by
- 21:415X right, like the Gold Star article said, gold.
- 21:45If gold goes up, I'm sorry, by 5X, like the Gold Star article
- 21:49said, then silver could likely go up by 10X15X20X.
- 21:54Who knows, right? Let's just look at this one real
- 21:56quick. To the moon, Alice.
- 21:58All right. This one is from Oofi.
- 22:01He says reports of Chinese investors stockpiling precious
- 22:05metals are making waves in the financial world.
- 22:09Whether it's gold or silver, the trend highlights a growing
- 22:12appetite for tangible assets amid economic uncertainty.
- 22:18Economic uncertainty? What are you talking about,
- 22:21economic uncertainty? Well, if you want to be ahead of
- 22:23the curve, ahead of the Chinese, let's go out and check out our
- 22:28friends. Pinbex, let's do a check on the
- 22:30gold price. OK, we're down 9 bucks, silver,
- 22:33down $0.13 after yesterday. We can handle that because we
- 22:38know the Chinese will come back in.
- 22:40But if you want to get your hands on some gold, silver,
- 22:42platinum, group metals, right, we talked about being lucky
- 22:45earlier. I feel lucky to have Pinbex as a
- 22:48sponsor. I've bought metal from them at
- 22:51least five, probably 6 times over the last year.
- 22:55I have always been happy I worked with them before I took
- 22:58them on as a sponsor. Actually, one of you told me
- 23:01about Pembax. You know that story?
- 23:03I get e-mail after e-mail from people telling me that they
- 23:07bought Silver, Gold, Platinum from Pembax.
- 23:09How thrilled they are. So if you want to join that
- 23:13group of people, I'm not telling you what to do.
- 23:15I'm just making a recommendation.
- 23:17You may benefit from throwing Pinbex into the mix next time
- 23:22you want to buy some gold, silver, or platinum online.
- 23:24And if you ever decide that you want to convert part or all of
- 23:28an individual retirement account into precious metals, check with
- 23:32Pinbex as well, Right? Check.
- 23:34Check around. See how much actual metal and
- 23:36what kind of metal you're getting for your money.
- 23:39I found with Pinbex I always get more metal for my money, and
- 23:44that is important to me, right? We want to make sure we're
- 23:48getting the Real McCoy and you are the Real McCoy.
- 23:53Thank you guys for being here today.
- 23:56Ceasefire or no ceasefire, I don't really have an update.
- 23:59I don't know what's going on in the Middle East except it seems
- 24:01like absolute world turmoil. And don't forget, guys, don't
- 24:07forget, right. Silver and gold are the safe
- 24:11harbor during times of geopolitical uncertainty in the
- 24:16world. And we are at a period of it.
- 24:19It's it's happening right, the shift away from the dollar,
- 24:22whatever. However, Jamie Carrasco said it
- 24:25right this, this monetary shift is happening.
- 24:28But even more importantly, we're in a period right now of more
- 24:32geopolitical turmoil than anytime I can confidently say
- 24:35this than any of you have been alive.
- 24:37Some of you may be old enough, probably not to really remember
- 24:41World War 2, right? Very few people alive right now
- 24:46remember. And it feels like we're on the
- 24:48cusp of another major world conflict.
- 24:51Gold and silver are your safe haven during these times.
- 24:55And I'm trying to follow what's going on in the Middle East last
- 24:58night. And I didn't really honestly
- 24:59have a chance to check on it this morning.
- 25:01But it's like, well, there's a ceasefire, but there's not a
- 25:03ceasefire. And they may say they're
- 25:04accepting it, but they're, I mean, it's crazy not to mention
- 25:08Europe, the Ukraine. That's not getting any better,
- 25:12right? We're getting the Russians are
- 25:14bombing, like the military headquarters of the Ukrainian
- 25:17military. Now, it's it's not a good thing.
- 25:20OK, let's talk about some economic doom, right.
- 25:24A little piece of doom. You want some bad news?
- 25:26Well, you're in the right place. Welcome to the basement.
- 25:29Let's let's look at some bad news going on right now in our
- 25:33world. This lady is the bomb.
- 25:36I think she worked for the Fed, if I remember this correctly.
- 25:39At one point she tweeted there were 115,000 job losses in the
- 25:46month of April, which was seasonally higher than that of
- 25:50January. And again, we're about which
- 25:53we're about 22,000. So we're definitely seeing an
- 25:56acceleration in job cut announcements.
- 26:00All right. Now where it gets interesting is
- 26:04when you consider hold on here. Somebody's trying to get a hold
- 26:07of me. Hold on guys, this might be
- 26:09urgent. This might be urgent, OK, no,
- 26:13it's not OK Where it gets in, the US may already be in a
- 26:17recession. Its job cuts accelerate.
- 26:19Research CEO says this comes from our friends at the Business
- 26:22Insider. the US economy may already be mired in a recession,
- 26:27Danielle Dimartino Booth told Bloomberg TV.
- 26:31Downside labor revisions and rising job losses indicate a
- 26:35downturn has hit, the Qi Research CEO said.
- 26:39She argues that by one unemployment indicator, A
- 26:42recession was triggered in October of 2023.
- 26:48And this is the reality of what's going on in the job
- 26:52market right now. Good jobs engineer jobs at
- 26:56Google, right? Amazon.
- 26:58Big high paying good jobs. Jobs that pay over 100K per year
- 27:02have awesome benefits. Heck, they even get like free
- 27:05food and massages at some of the well they used to at these tech
- 27:08companies are going bye bye. OK, right.
- 27:11What kind of jobs are being created right?
- 27:14Jobs that don't pay that much and likely a lot of them don't
- 27:18have benefits. Right?
- 27:20I got news for you. If you drive for Uber, I don't
- 27:22think you get health insurance, right.
- 27:24If you deliver whoppers for what's that thing?
- 27:28Dime, dash or whatever. I just cannot believe that
- 27:31people get fast food delivered to their house.
- 27:33But nonetheless, I don't think those people get benefits.
- 27:36OK? The economy is slowing down.
- 27:39What's going to happen? What's going to happen?
- 27:41I think we need to get him out just for one quick second.
- 27:44He wants to say hello and we're going to get him out in just one
- 27:47second. We're going to talk about what's
- 27:49going to happen when he freaks out to the silver price and the
- 27:53gold price. Let's say thank you to channel
- 27:55sponsor first Mining Gold. Oh boy, I almost forgot.
- 27:57Hold on guys, I need to put this up.
- 28:01Here we go. All right.
- 28:04First Mining gold Canadian gold developer with two multi million
- 28:07ounce projects in Canada. You can learn more about them at
- 28:10First Mining Gold or you can talk to a real life human, Paul
- 28:14Morris. I'll put his e-mail address in
- 28:16the description of this video. He's a great guy, wonderful to
- 28:19talk to. He'd love to talk to you about
- 28:21what's going on at First Mining Gold.
- 28:23And tonight, after the close of the market, we'll hear from
- 28:27Fortuna Silver their first quarter earnings report.
- 28:31I think it's gonna be very, very interesting.
- 28:34Two good things are going on at Fortuna, right their their
- 28:37production of silver and gold are robust, but we've got this
- 28:41rising precious metals price environment.
- 28:44And during this quarter, the second quarter, which were darn
- 28:47near approaching halfway through, Fortuna could be in the
- 28:52position to generate an unbelievable amount of cash
- 28:55flow. OK, Where was I?
- 28:59Oh, where was I? Darn it.
- 29:01There was something I was going to tell you guys about.
- 29:03Oh, my gosh. You want to see a grown man cry?
- 29:09A grown man get get confused, Right.
- 29:12I can say happy birthday to Annie Oakley again.
- 29:15Darn it. What were we going to look at?
- 29:16We had some great, great, great stuff to look at.
- 29:19Oh, yeah. Sorry.
- 29:21Yeah, I'm 54. You know what it's like.
- 29:23We start to get a little rusty upstairs, This guy.
- 29:27OK, look, jobs are going away. Jobs are going away, good paying
- 29:34jobs. People are getting laid off and
- 29:36some of these people like are getting laid off from these big
- 29:38tech companies like, well, I can't find another job.
- 29:41It's so hard out there they nobody wants to pay ME150K and
- 29:45can let me get free lunch and dinner and massage and my heart
- 29:49goes out to anyone who lost their job.
- 29:51But nonetheless, this guy, OK, yeah, him I think.
- 30:00And I went out on a limb and made this prediction not too
- 30:03long ago. I really think that in the next
- 30:06six months we're going to start to feel some significant
- 30:10economic pain. We know they're cooking up some
- 30:12kind of second mortgage program to in it and it's basically an
- 30:17attempt to stimulate the economy.
- 30:20They know it's coming. OK.
- 30:21I think we're in for some very rough times.
- 30:24When it hits, Jerome is going to freak out, OK.
- 30:29They don't want the whole system to crash.
- 30:31They're all beholden to it. Only thing they'll be able to do
- 30:35is print, turn the printer back on, press the press the key
- 30:39button to create more money, which will further accentuate
- 30:43the downward slide in real value for the US dollar.
- 30:48What we care about is real value as we hold things like silver
- 30:53and gold, right? And the real value of the metals
- 30:56will continue to appreciate. Mathematics shows no forgiveness
- 31:02on the altar of truth. Do you know what that means?
- 31:05Right? I've heard it said other ways,
- 31:07right? Not even God can change the fact
- 31:10that 2 + 2 = 4. Just because the United States
- 31:14is the biggest country in the world doesn't mean that we need
- 31:17to subscribe to the natural laws of mathematics.
- 31:20And if you have anything, right? Anything, right.
- 31:24If let's say you had a big pile of silver, right, And you were
- 31:28able, and it's worth a certain amount, a great big pile, you
- 31:31have all the silver in the world.
- 31:33And if you were able to magically double that just by
- 31:38pressing a button and poof, now there's twice as well, guess
- 31:41what? That silver would be worth half
- 31:43as much, right? Because its scarcity would have
- 31:47would have gone down. The same thing is true with
- 31:49these things. Gonna make sure I pull out the
- 31:52right one, right? Imagine all of these in the
- 31:54world. And then imagine a button that
- 31:56can get pushed And what 40% were were printed during the during
- 32:01the C19 crisis. Guys, these are basic laws of
- 32:07mathematics that apply to silver, that apply to gold, that
- 32:11apply to oil, that apply to dollars, that apply to anything.
- 32:17If you increase the supply, right?
- 32:20Guess what, They're not as scarce.
- 32:22They go down in value. But I got some good news for
- 32:25you. All right, we want to remember
- 32:27this one's right at the tip of your nose.
- 32:29My nose as well. They can't magically increase
- 32:34the supply of platinum or silver or gold.
- 32:39That's why if you hold some of those metals right, you hold
- 32:42something that's valuable. Our friend bald guy Money says
- 32:45it himself, right? He calls an ounce of silver.
- 32:48Like a value battery, right? It's sure it conducts
- 32:52electricity like nothing else on the planet But this ounce of
- 32:55silver, This one right here from Big Tim the Silvershire, I mean,
- 33:01right? This.
- 33:02Guess what? When he gave it to me, it had a
- 33:04lot of energy in it, a lot of value energy on it.
- 33:07And you know what? It was about 7 weeks ago.
- 33:10It's still there. And in real terms, this has
- 33:15actually gone up in value a bit since then.
- 33:18Hopefully he's not going to want it back from me, right?
- 33:20He's going to be, hey, remember that ounce of silver Ron I gave
- 33:23you? It's gone up 15 times.
- 33:27Could you mail that back to me? All right, guys, thanks for
- 33:29being here. Thanks for being part of Ron's
- 33:31basement. Don't forget, check out our
- 33:32sponsorspinbex@pinbex.com first. Mining Gold and Fortuna Silver.
- 33:38Have a great day. Thank you so much.
