Transcript
- 0:00We have major breaking news that's going to be very good for
- 0:03silver. And we're going to talk about an
- 0:05aspect of what's happening right now in the Middle East that
- 0:08nobody else is talking about when it comes to the precious
- 0:11metals. Let's dig right in.
- 0:13We had this this morning. We'll head out to NBC News.
- 0:17And if you haven't heard yet, Iran has declared that the
- 0:21Straits of Hormuz is completely open.
- 0:25The big news is the Straits of Hormuz, a rhyme Trump said the
- 0:31US blockade will remain in full force until there's a peace deal
- 0:35again. I've got something nobody else
- 0:37is talking about about this, which can make us feel very warm
- 0:41and tingly about silver and gold.
- 0:44But here's just a few of the headlines from Google.
- 0:47CNN says oil drops 11%. The Dow soars 909 hundred points
- 0:53after Iran says the Straits of Hormuz have been opened.
- 0:58And here we go. CNN business.
- 1:01Come on, CNN, get rid of that. There we go.
- 1:04So big news completely open. Now, what does that mean for
- 1:08gold and silver? Oh, and by the way, we're also
- 1:11in this live stream, special emergency breaking News Live
- 1:15stream. But we're going to talk about
- 1:16the big analyst who are telling us we can have $500 silver like
- 1:20the top analyst, the top of the top, and of course, another top
- 1:24analyst telling us we could be seen $800 silver down the road.
- 1:28But let's talk about the immediate impacts of what's
- 1:32happening right now in the silver market because of the big
- 1:35news in the Middle East. And before we forget, let's go
- 1:39out. We have volatility in the silver
- 1:42market and gold markets, but today it's working in our favor.
- 1:46Silver in the spot market currently up almost $4.00 per
- 1:51oz. Gold, $75 per oz.
- 1:55We'll keep an eye on that as we get through this live stream
- 1:58with updates on the price. But guys, here's the thing,
- 2:03think about this, think about it right?
- 2:06Gold and silver are going crazy because of this news.
- 2:09We talk about short term noise, but all the fundamental factors
- 2:14that were in place before the war that made the silver and
- 2:18gold price perform perform so spectacularly during 2025, all
- 2:25those factors are still in place.
- 2:29Think about that. OK.
- 2:30And many of them have now been accentuated, right?
- 2:33The stock markets at all time highs, blah, blah, blah, gold
- 2:36and silver are flying. But everything, all the
- 2:39fundamental factors and we could talk for the next three hours,
- 2:41which we won't, about what supported gold and silver over
- 2:45the last 18 months. They all those factors are still
- 2:49in place and many of them have been made worse or more powerful
- 2:53as supportive factors for the price of silver and gold.
- 2:57Think about this. The silver price hit $120.00 in
- 3:03January, long before we had any idea that there was going to be
- 3:08a major war in the Middle East, OK, Now that that's happened,
- 3:13look, it's not going to erase all that.
- 3:15There's massive economic impact, massive impacts that are going
- 3:18to go on because of what's happened, all of these things.
- 3:21Now as we move through the rest of 2026, I am more optimistic
- 3:25than ever about where we're heading with the silver price
- 3:29and the gold price. Now let's go, let's move over
- 3:33the other big story, a lot of big stories today.
- 3:36You guys have been bombarding me with questions about did the
- 3:40Shank, did the Shanghai gold and silver or silver market, the
- 3:45Shanghai Futures Exchange actually shut down.
- 3:47I've been digging in. I'll tell you the best that I've
- 3:50been able to find right now, and then we'll talk about whether or
- 3:53not we think this is real or not.
- 3:56So we'll head out here to Reddit, OK, where the Silver
- 4:01Dijon Club posted this. Yesterday the Shanghai Futures
- 4:08Exchange announced silver trading halted.
- 4:12The exchange announced a trading suspension for silver contracts
- 4:17effective Thursday morning, April 16th.
- 4:20It says on April 15th they issued an emergency notice
- 4:24halting all silver Futures Trading starting at the market
- 4:28open on April 16th. This falls within the last week
- 4:32depending on exact timing. And the halt took effect today,
- 4:35which was yesterday. I didn't hear any more about
- 4:38this, but we're going to, we're going to read this in blue
- 4:40multiple financial and precious metals YouTube channels, but
- 4:46I'll leave that all alone. And market watchers reported it
- 4:50as a sudden emergency suspension with no immediate reopening
- 4:54date. Announced in Orange, this is a
- 4:58is distinct from earlier events in 2026 such as temporary halts
- 5:03or full day suspensions and silver linked funds.
- 5:07Those were mostly fund specific in on the Shenzhen, Shenzhen or
- 5:12related exchanges rather than a broad Shanghai futures exchange
- 5:16trading hall. So we'll stay on top of this.
- 5:20I could not find Maybe you can and if you find more information
- 5:24about that, please send it to me.
- 5:26It, it just drives home the point that the silver market is
- 5:29so delicate, sensitive and there's a lot of things going on
- 5:37all around the world that will impact the the silver market as
- 5:41we move forward. Next big story.
- 5:43And then yes, we're going to get to 500 dollar $300 silver and
- 5:47even $800 silver and Oh my gosh, it's everywhere.
- 5:52Price floors, big news out yesterday regarding Scott
- 5:56Besant, our Treasury Secretary and price floors on silver.
- 6:01The government potentially setting price floors.
- 6:03And there's some pretty compelling evidence that we may
- 6:06be seeing that sooner as opposed to later.
- 6:09If you want to get your hands on some silver before a floor comes
- 6:12about right there first meant they are the silver specialist
- 6:16meant that's all they do is meant silver owned by First
- 6:20Majestic Silver. They mined the mint and mined
- 6:23the silver in Mexico. Send it to 1st Mint in Las
- 6:27Vegas, NV where they create these like this, right?
- 6:32They're year of the horse silver coin.
- 6:34That's just one of the many products they have.
- 6:37And then it goes directly to you from the mine to the mint to
- 6:40you. Let me bring you out to their
- 6:42website. Then we're going to talk about
- 6:43price floors. Here is the first Mint website.
- 6:48OK, free shipping, $299, a great customer service, great quality
- 6:53products and great prices. There's their Las Vegas round
- 6:58the Liberty Bar, which is brand new, and there's the Year of the
- 7:02Horse that I showed you, So check them out.
- 7:04Hey, while we're out here, I also want to say thank you to
- 7:07Brixton Metals for sponsoring Ron's Basement.
- 7:10They are a Canadian metals exploration company with four
- 7:15projects as you can see on your screen, all in Canada and North
- 7:18America. And they do have a big strategic
- 7:21investment in their company from BHP, who is one of the world's,
- 7:26if not the world's largest mining company.
- 7:28And of course our friends at First Mining Gold, Canadian Gold
- 7:31development stage company with two multi million ounce projects
- 7:35in Canada, Spring Pole in Ontario and Du Parquet in
- 7:39Quebec. And guys, there aren't a lot of
- 7:42big gold deposits out there that are left.
- 7:45But let's talk about silver price floors and look at some
- 7:49evidence and some reasons why we can be excited down here in the
- 7:54basement. Let's start with this.
- 7:57Hold on one second. Hold on.
- 8:02Wrong one. There we go.
- 8:04OK, we're start. Here was a post from TF Metals
- 8:08Report. If you're interested in silver,
- 8:10you better pay attention to this.
- 8:12And this was a tweet that came out from Treasury Secretary
- 8:15Scott Percent. I won't read it all to you.
- 8:17Basically, he said, I met with the Mexican secretary of Finance
- 8:20and we talked about big issues going on in the world economy,
- 8:24including critical minerals. Now let's go to this.
- 8:27And then I got something super exciting and interesting to read
- 8:32to you from NBA Economics. The action plan that Besant is
- 8:36referencing is attached. It outlines price floors with
- 8:40other countries, including Mexico, the largest silver
- 8:48producer in the world. Don't say we didn't warn you
- 8:52when the importance of silver is redefined.
- 8:56Now let's pull up this memo that NBA Economics shared.
- 9:01This is from the United States Mexico Critical Minerals Action
- 9:05Plan. As I've highlighted for you in
- 9:08blue, this is where it gets shocking, OK?
- 9:12It says. To this end, the United States
- 9:15and the United Mexican States, also known as Mexico, seek to
- 9:19develop a new paradigm for preferential trade in critical
- 9:25minerals. That would include silver
- 9:31because silver is on the United States critical mineral list,
- 9:35supported by price floors and other measures.
- 9:41Who knows what they have up their sleeves.
- 9:44I bet they'll get the COMEX involved anyway and have
- 9:47established an action plan to deliver concrete near term
- 9:52results towards securing mutual supply chain resilience for
- 9:57critical minerals. Oh my gosh, I'm tempted to
- 10:00reread that to you, but it's pretty obvious guys that they're
- 10:05going to set price floors for critical minerals.
- 10:08Silver's a critical mineral. Mexico is the world's, I don't
- 10:12know if they're the world, but there was the biggest, one of
- 10:16the biggest, if not the biggest producer of silver.
- 10:19This is massive breaking news and good news for the silver
- 10:24sector And, and in total. OK, now there's one guy that I
- 10:30think is the smartest, the most up and coming.
- 10:34And now I actually established analyst in the world of gold and
- 10:38silver and he does a lot of focus on silver.
- 10:41It's Jesse Colombo from the bubble bubble report.
- 10:44He's got a, it's called the sub stack that he puts out that you
- 10:47can subscribe to if you like. It cost money.
- 10:50I don't subscribe to it, but he puts out little blurbs, little
- 10:53teasers, and he's talking about 300 to $500 silver.
- 10:58And when Jesse Colombo says that we're going to perk up.
- 11:00Let's go get just a few details of why he's saying this is the
- 11:06case. All right, here we are.
- 11:11We are at the bubble. Bubble Report.
- 11:14Got to love it. There's Jesse in the upper left
- 11:16corner. Oh, hold on, Let's go to the
- 11:19top. Silver is breaking out.
- 11:21All right, Jesse. Silver's rebound from the dark
- 11:23days of March, Remember, that led to a recent breakout from a
- 11:27triangle pattern, which is an encouraging sign.
- 11:30We're going to go a lot deeper than the triangle pattern, guys.
- 11:33But he says as a reminder, Silver remains in an uptrend as
- 11:36indicated by its upward sloping 200 day moving average.
- 11:40Don't worry, there's a lot more, which signals that momentum
- 11:44continues to favor the upside as you can see on this chart, But
- 11:49you can see my cursor, that's the 200 day moving average
- 11:52continues to move up. Now, he goes on to say a key
- 11:56feature of Silver's correction over the past few months is the
- 12:00downtrend line that formed the top of the triangle pattern.
- 12:04And Silver's breakout above that line represents a very important
- 12:08bullish change in trend, indicating that the correction
- 12:12is most likely behind us. But wait, there's a lot more
- 12:17from Jesse and we've talked about this ad nauseam, right?
- 12:20The triangle pattern as we can see there and as you can clearly
- 12:25see, hold on, why is that not a racing?
- 12:28There we go, right, right here. We broke out OK and today so far
- 12:35we broke out even more, which is a good thing.
- 12:38Now this is where it gets interesting.
- 12:40In order to feel even more confident that the correction is
- 12:44over, I would also like to see Silver close above the 95 to
- 12:49$100 resistance zone that formed at the late February peak next,
- 12:55and then then go through the 115 to $120.00 resistance zone that
- 13:02formed at the late January peak after that.
- 13:05Breakouts above horizontal resistance.
- 13:09So we're not talking about the triangle anymore, we're talking
- 13:11about breaking through that 101, fifteen, 120 level, OK Breakouts
- 13:17above horizontal resistance levels and zones are more
- 13:20reliable than breakouts above diagonal resistance lines like
- 13:24the top of the triangle pattern. OK, so I I would like to see
- 13:28those zones surpassed for added assurance.
- 13:31Once that happens, I expect silver's bull market to heat up
- 13:36significantly again and I see silver surging.
- 13:40Take your blood pressure medicine with me to at least 300
- 13:45to $500 over the course of this bull market.
- 13:50As I explained in this report that you will have to upgrade to
- 13:54a paid membership to get to. So thank you Jesse for the
- 13:58information that you did share with us.
- 14:00And again, guys, he's like considered to be like 1 of
- 14:04seriously the top analyst out there.
- 14:08And we also know Michael Oliver. What's Michael Oliver?
- 14:11Michael Oliver saying we can get the 200, 300 and $500 silver by
- 14:15the summer. What month is it right now?
- 14:18Huh? It's April.
- 14:19It's not April Fool's Day. You know, I was talking last
- 14:22night to two executives, smart guys from a big bullion dealer
- 14:26company. We were talking about silver and
- 14:29just what a smart investment that it feels like.
- 14:31And then we started and then we, I joked around with them and I
- 14:34said, hey, maybe Michael Oliver will be right.
- 14:37And we'll get 200 to $500 silver by this by the summer.
- 14:40And they said, yeah, right. But then we brought up a very
- 14:43important part because both of us, we followed what I said
- 14:46this, I followed Michael Oliver for years, OK, super respected
- 14:51guy. And I said, you know, he's not a
- 14:53permeable. He's not somebody who's always
- 14:55saying gold and silver are going to go higher and higher.
- 14:59I remember sitting down here guys, you know, this cold
- 15:02basement shaking 3-4 years ago when silver was at $20.00 an
- 15:08ounce. And we were like the lone wolves
- 15:10in the world of silver and gold. And I would watch a Michael
- 15:13Oliver video where he would talk about where he thought silver
- 15:16and gold were going and he would say he thought they were going
- 15:19down. I told the guys last time, like,
- 15:20I used to get depressed sometimes, right?
- 15:23Like he's, he's not a guy who's constantly out there telling us
- 15:27that the silver and gold price are going to go higher.
- 15:30So we'll see how that all plays out.
- 15:33Oh, you want a little more fun? We got more.
- 15:37Hey, by the way, if you enjoy your time down here in the
- 15:39basement, please subscribe to the channel, give the video
- 15:42thumbs up, leave a comment in the comment section.
- 15:46All of those are free. We really appreciate you joining
- 15:49us. We love this community that we
- 15:51have of basement dwellers. But let's look at some more good
- 15:57news. Optimistic, wildly optimistic
- 16:00when it comes to silver. This came from for Roshi
- 16:03research. He said look away from this post
- 16:06if you're bearish on silver or gold.
- 16:10Are you ready for metals mania Part 2?
- 16:15And look at this chart that he's he's lining out for us.
- 16:19We've got a massive this is like along the lines of Michael
- 16:23Oliver. This goes out to about hold on
- 16:26here, hold on guys. This goes out till about June.
- 16:32And we, as you can see, have, According to him, right, there's
- 16:36that this is that horizontal type resistance area that Jesse
- 16:40Colombo's talking about. Once we get through that, based
- 16:43on these trends, right, that he's drawing back there, we
- 16:47could have a 150. That's 150 right there, a 150
- 16:53silver by June. Now look, you know, hold on.
- 17:03Please always be responsible. I'm not a financial advisor, OK?
- 17:08Everything has risk. Gold, silver, stocks, bonds,
- 17:11mutual funds, real estate, cryptocurrency, baseball cards,
- 17:14Pokémon cards, any of that. The only advice I'd always give
- 17:18everybody out there is always be responsible.
- 17:21Make sure you diversify to a certain extent and go to a
- 17:24financial advisor if you don't understand what's what's going
- 17:27on. I don't ever want anyone to be
- 17:30hurt by putting too many of their eggs, having voice
- 17:34instrument issues today by putting too many of their eggs
- 17:37into one basket. OK, while we're out there, let's
- 17:42go look at what the major banks are telling us.
- 17:44The big banks. Why is it important?
- 17:47Because the big traditional banks are saying some incredible
- 17:51things about the silver price. And for this, we're going to go
- 18:03to the one and only International Stacker.
- 18:06Now I got it up on your screen. Sorry about that.
- 18:08Hey guys, check out International Stacker.
- 18:10He does a lot of live streams also really great content and a
- 18:14super fast growing channel in the world of YouTube and
- 18:18precious metals. But he puts this out, major
- 18:20banks are getting extremely bullish on silver.
- 18:24What a great list. Here's the latest high end
- 18:27forecast from the top institutions.
- 18:30Bank of America anywhere from 135 to 309 dollars silver.
- 18:35They put that out in February 2026.
- 18:38Citigroup over 200,000 employees, 150 to $170 silver.
- 18:44BMO Capital Markets 150 to $160 per oz silver.
- 18:49TD Securities 180, $18.00 silver, CIBC big Canadian Bank
- 18:55105 and our favorite German bank, Duichi Bank, Duichi Bank
- 19:01$100 silver. They put that out on February
- 19:0526th of 2026. And if you hadn't had enough
- 19:10already, hey, look, I'm just reporting the news and this that
- 19:13book those, those are the major banks with major massive, what
- 19:18is that telling us? Predictions for the silver
- 19:20price. We looked Jesse Columbo talking
- 19:24about A and it's not we're not talking.
- 19:26Jesse didn't say by the summer, but he's talking about the
- 19:28potential long term potential for silver, 300 to $500 silver.
- 19:34What do you think? North Star bad Charts says?
- 19:37Right? Another highly respected name in
- 19:41the world of precious metals. They actually go as far as to
- 19:44mention the potential for $800 silver.
- 19:49Hold on, let's give them their due.
- 19:51This is North Star Patrick Karen with North Star Bad Charts on X.
- 19:56He says road map for $20,000 gold and $800 silver.
- 20:02Huge reaction on that possible 45 year breakdown line for
- 20:05stocks versus silver. So we're going to compare the
- 20:08Dow to silver. If we get a bounce in Q2, it
- 20:12will officially morph into existence, making it a critical
- 20:16and valid line. Big moves for gold, silver, oil
- 20:20and friends. Below that, OK.
- 20:22So on this chart, what this shows circle this up here is
- 20:27stocks versus silver, the ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial
- 20:32Average. See if I can move this somewhere
- 20:35to silver or put it way over here, OK?
- 20:39And as you can see right right now, this is where we are right
- 20:44now. We're at about oh, NO600650.
- 20:48So if you divide the Dow Jones Industrial average, let's say
- 20:5249,000 by the price of silver, you're going to get about 656
- 20:57six between 6 and 700 something right around this area right
- 21:02over here. As you can see, there's the
- 21:04trend line, the 45 year trend line that he's talking about,
- 21:09OK, back in 1980, we went all the way down here, OK, on that
- 21:15ratio, all the way down to like 2526 to one.
- 21:19What he's saying is if that ratio of the Dow Jones
- 21:22Industrial average to silver breaks down like it certainly
- 21:26can, there's nothing this it happened before, it can happen
- 21:31again. Don't we always hear history has
- 21:33a way of rhyming or repeating? If we get all the way down here,
- 21:37look at this right, That equals $20,000 gold, $800 silver and
- 21:44$300 per barrel crude oil. Even if we don't get all the way
- 21:50down there, let's say we get to about right here, OK, You know,
- 21:55we're still talking silver in the 250 to $280 range.
- 21:59So look, these are not crazy predictions, not as crazy as
- 22:05they might feel. I want to tell you a quick
- 22:07story. We used to sit down here.
- 22:09A lot of you are new, right? The new and welcome, You're
- 22:12always welcome here in the basement in this community of
- 22:14basement dwellers. But if you look right there,
- 22:17right, there's a little teddy bear with two silver eyes.
- 22:20He used to be blindfolded and his blindfold said 85, $5.
- 22:25And we would sit down here when silver was at $2522 per oz and
- 22:30say when the silver price gets to $85, we'll take that
- 22:34blindfold off. You know what people said?
- 22:36They said you're crazy. I would get mean emails.
- 22:39That would hurt, right? It would like I would be, my
- 22:42hands would start to sweat. People would say you're
- 22:45misleading people. Silver will never get silver,
- 22:48will never get above $50 per oz. Well, you know what happened,
- 22:54right? You know where we got in
- 22:56January, $120.00 silver. So think about right now, silver
- 23:01from that period went from $20.00 an ounce to $85 an ounce.
- 23:06That's 4X if we're at $80 silver today or higher.
- 23:13If we go up 4X from that, that's $300.
- 23:16I know, I understand. It seems like incredible.
- 23:21It seems unlikely, but I think the reality is when we look at
- 23:25all these different charts, all these different relationships,
- 23:29if we look at history in history, we can say one thing
- 23:34for sure about history. History does repeat itself that
- 23:39we could be in for massive big moves in the price of gold and
- 23:43silver. I want to do it with you.
- 23:45I want you to come back to the basement.
- 23:47Thank you. Right.
- 23:48Your time is valuable. Leave a comment in the comment
