Latest / SILVER / GOLD / $UFD Meme Coin Investing & Global Economics / **Silver DRAMA** 🔥 Why STACKERS Must Be ALERT! - Gold Price News Update too
Transcript
- 0:01Silver and gold drama and trauma over the last two days, we've
- 0:07been put through the mill, but we're going to feel better by
- 0:10the end of this live stream because there's a lot of reasons
- 0:13and examples why we can still be super optimistic about the
- 0:18silver and gold price. But but for today, with the
- 0:21trauma and drama that we've been through and we're used to it,
- 0:25we're going to be the the silver support group, right?
- 0:28My name is Ron and I've been battered by gold and silver.
- 0:32You probably have to. But again, guys, we're going to
- 0:35look at the long term reasons and even short term reasons.
- 0:39We're going to look at things like, I'll just give you a
- 0:41little, a little taste right now.
- 0:43Real rates of the simple math behind what's going on.
- 0:46The big deal about China that nobody's talking about.
- 0:50I've got some major speculation in that area with this summit
- 0:54and and whatnot as well. We've got bond Armageddon.
- 0:58Where did that come from? Right?
- 1:00But that's also very supportive for the gold and silver price,
- 1:03the COMEX and inflation. Let's get started right now.
- 1:07We had $90.00 silver on what, Wednesday, right?
- 1:12I think in China on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, we actually hit
- 1:17like $100 per oz. And I'm in trouble with upstairs
- 1:20Susie, my lovely guest, because I forgot to say thank you and
- 1:23welcome basement dwellers. We believe in the long term
- 1:28story value you in gold and silver because we understand
- 1:32history and we understand math. Let's get to it.
- 1:35All right, back to it. Yeah, $90.00 to $76.
- 1:39That's like 1/6. That's like 15% in two days.
- 1:44So look, it's normal that we are feeling a little bit beat up,
- 1:47but something very, very important for us to remember.
- 1:52Things are tenuous right now in the world.
- 1:56The reason why we are living through a period of change like
- 2:00no other in history. The last 50 years were
- 2:03significant, but what's happening right now and what's
- 2:06likely to happen in the coming years are, are, are are major
- 2:10events that we're going to look back on as historic.
- 2:13But the big key thing, and do you notice this as well?
- 2:17I've actually heard Andy Scheckman talk about this at one
- 2:19point and it's something that I believe 100% as well.
- 2:23Things are also happening much faster right now.
- 2:26I mean, one example, and we're going to talk about it more
- 2:29later, was that suddenly yesterday we had a bond market
- 2:33crisis, right? And remember, the bond market is
- 2:36like the biggest market in the world, way bigger than the stock
- 2:40market. Like out of nowhere, suddenly
- 2:43all I'm reading about is bond crisis.
- 2:45I'm like what? I thought Trump was in China.
- 2:49Now we got a bond crisis and everything's crashing.
- 2:52Anyway, we're going to get more into that later.
- 2:54Sentiment. That's the other thing, right?
- 2:57Sentiment for gold and silver. Are you feeling whipsawed?
- 3:00That's because you are right. That's because we had this
- 3:04unbelievable run up in early 2026, late 2025.
- 3:11Silver in particular went into like, let's, let's, let's rate
- 3:15it on a scale of 1 to 10 sentiment.
- 3:17Like, it was almost like a mania, like 8 1/2, not quite 10
- 3:21out of 10. We haven't seen that yet.
- 3:23Wait till we have the silver squeeze.
- 3:25And then over the last two or three months, sentiment really
- 3:28got crappy in the gold and silver sector.
- 3:31Everybody I know, I can see it, right?
- 3:33Like people like we believe, don't get me wrong, I'm 100% I'm
- 3:37a believer. This is the silver and gold
- 3:39support group. But a lot of people out there,
- 3:42we're getting like negative on gold and silver.
- 3:44And then over like the last week and 1/2, it started to perk up
- 3:48again and then they like pulled the rug right up from underneath
- 3:53us over the last two days. Guys, that is designed, Please
- 3:57remember this. That is designed to to elicit an
- 4:01emotional response. And it's no fun.
- 4:04Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you should be happy
- 4:06about what happened, 'cause I'm not OK.
- 4:08But it's designed to elicit an emotional response so that
- 4:12people make stupid, I'm sorry, unwise long term decisions like,
- 4:18Oh my God, this guy's fun. I'm going to sell, sell, sell.
- 4:21It's the same thing like when when silver was at $110 and
- 4:24people are like, I'm going to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
- 4:26And I'm not putting anybody down who bought.
- 4:29But you trust me, right? The sentiment goes in cycles.
- 4:35And to the extent that we can remove emotion from all this,
- 4:39the the better off we'll be. OK, So what are the reasons?
- 4:41Let's dig in. Why did gold go down?
- 4:44Oh, why? It's because of.
- 4:46It's because of. Well, it's because of this.
- 4:48Here, let's go out to Kitco and see what they're telling us, and
- 4:51then I'll tell you why I disagree 150%.
- 4:57Here we are from Kitco, our good friend Niels Christensen.
- 5:00Yesterday, gold and silver slammed as the Iran war fuels
- 5:05inflation and rate hike fears got cup 2 paragraphs in blue.
- 5:11Gold investors and silver investors are once again dealing
- 5:15with dashed bullish hopes and dreams.
- 5:18No, we're not temporarily, as no meaningful progress has been
- 5:24made toward ending the war in Iran and reopening the Straits
- 5:27of Hormuz, which continues to drive oil prices higher and
- 5:32stroke stoke inflation fears. Luke.
- 5:36What's this guy's name? Luckman.
- 5:37Lukeman. I don't know.
- 5:39It's interesting name Lukeman. Otto Garagnonga, senior analyst
- 5:44at FXTM, described the price action as a House of Cards
- 5:48falling apart. It's not that bad, Luckman.
- 5:51As interest rate expectations have jumped significantly higher
- 5:57ahead of the weekend. So they're blaming it on
- 6:01essentially guys, interest rates going up.
- 6:05Real interest rates when real interest rates go up, right?
- 6:09That's bad for gold, right? When they become more positive
- 6:12when 'cause they're going to have to raise BS, OK, BS.
- 6:16I'll tell you why. I'll tell you exactly why.
- 6:19Because they're, they're saying, oh, interest rates are going to
- 6:21go up. Look, the reality is like,
- 6:25let's, I make it real easy for you, real interest rates, you
- 6:29take the prevailing interest rate and you subtract the
- 6:33inflation rate. So if interest rates are at 4%
- 6:36and inflation's at 8%, you subtract 8 from 4, you get -4%.
- 6:40That's good for gold and silver. What they're saying is because
- 6:44interest rates are going up, right?
- 6:46And inflation, apparently they forgot about inflation.
- 6:49We're going to look at some data later from the world's top
- 6:51economist that are even saying inflation going up.
- 6:54They're forgetting that inflation is going up even more
- 6:58rapidly and that will create even more negative real interest
- 7:04rates. So look what happened over the
- 7:06last two days. Erase it.
- 7:10It's a bunch of bunk. But the other big factor that
- 7:15nobody's talking about is the simple math.
- 7:18All roads, no matter how at this point, OK, the Fed can't raise
- 7:22rates. And we're going to look at that
- 7:24here in a second from like the the the guru of the day, Michael
- 7:28Gentilly. I got a A2 paragraphs we're
- 7:30going to read from him. the Fed can't raise rates.
- 7:33OK, the Fed can't control inflation either.
- 7:37Think about it. So real interest rates are going
- 7:39to become more and more negative.
- 7:41And think about this. I don't want to go too far down
- 7:43the rabbit hole of real interest rates, but to make it easy, in
- 7:46case you don't quite understand how this real interest rate
- 7:49thing works, think about this. Let's make believe that you and
- 7:53I have $100,000 sitting in a bank account getting 0%
- 7:58interest. Okay.
- 7:59And we decide to buy a one year certificate of deposit.
- 8:03I went out and looked on Fidelity Investments.
- 8:05Right now you can get paid 4% interest on a one year
- 8:08certificate of deposit. So today you got 100 grand and
- 8:12in one year you're going to have 104.
- 8:14You're going to make 4% but remember something you got to
- 8:18pay taxes on that 4% interest that you earned.
- 8:21So instead of making 4000, you're only going to make $3000
- 8:26over that year. If inflation is a that 6%, OK,
- 8:32that $103,000 is, is not going to buy the same thing that it
- 8:38would have at the beginning of the year cuz you would now need
- 8:42106,000. That's how that that's how the
- 8:46real interest rate calculation works.
- 8:48So people look at that and say, well, it's not worth putting my
- 8:51money in ACD my I'm better off buying gold or buying silver,
- 8:55which I would agree with, but I'm not a financial advisor.
- 8:58So don't make financial decisions decisions based on
- 9:00what I'm saying. But it's a bunch, it's a bunch
- 9:04of bunk, a bunch of short term noise going on right now.
- 9:07OK, simple math indicates to us that all roads lead to AD value,
- 9:12dollar and inflation. Inflation is the number one
- 9:16thing. Only thing real simple that we
- 9:18got to think about in the coming year, five years, 10 years OK,
- 9:23higher look gold and silver will give us higher price.
- 9:28The higher price and protection right is what we get from
- 9:31precious metals. Now let's go to Michael
- 9:33Gentilly. Let's talk about how this math
- 9:36works. Michael Gentilly, if you don't
- 9:39know who he is super he's the he's the guru of the day here in
- 9:43Ron's basement super respected super smart guy out there in the
- 9:47precious metal sector. I've got he puts out a Saturday
- 9:50morning e-mail. I've got 2 paragraphs I
- 9:53screenshotted to share with you to tell you why we are up a out
- 9:58of paddle, he says. I can recall YouTube interviews
- 10:00I recorded back in 2019 when rates were close to or effective
- 10:060, where I said that if interest rates were to rise from their 0%
- 10:11level 6 years ago to the 5% level where we are today with 40
- 10:17trillion of debt, the US government would be effectively
- 10:21insolvent. He then goes on to say, well,
- 10:24those days have now arrived. It's no longer a what if
- 10:32scenario but a reality. Let's have some fun with numbers
- 10:36below to illustrate my point. Pete, please bear with me as
- 10:39this exercise is very much worth doing and understanding.
- 10:44So then he goes on to show, right, that our current $40
- 10:48trillion of national debt and all this debt, a lot of it needs
- 10:52to be refinanced and rolled over very soon.
- 10:56That's 2 trillion a year in interest expense, right, at our
- 10:59current 40 trillion debt. Now what I want to say, right,
- 11:03And that's like 40% of the money that our government brings in.
- 11:06That would be like you or me having 40% of our income being
- 11:12spent on just interest, excuse me, just interest on a bunch of
- 11:19debt that are you and I and our significant others racked up.
- 11:23But think about this, if that debt level goes to 50 trillion,
- 11:27which it will, and let's say interest rates go to 8%, which
- 11:31they can't, this proves the point, right?
- 11:35That's that's 4 trillion a year in interest alone.
- 11:40That's not paying down the debt, that's just paying the interest.
- 11:45So when all this bunk is going on, you know, like this noise
- 11:49that we had over the last two days, gold and silver getting
- 11:52smushed and oh, the feds going to have to raise, the Fed can't
- 11:55raise rates. And interestingly, the Fed can't
- 12:01really control inflation, OK? And overtime is that inflation
- 12:07number continues to grow and it will OK, that will make real
- 12:13interest rates more negative and it will create an even more
- 12:19lucrative environment for the gold and silver market.
- 12:21If you want to get your hands on some silver right now there's
- 12:24only one mint I know of that specializes only in silver and
- 12:29that's channel sponsor right there first meant you guys love

- 13:33Thank you. First meant for sponsoring Ron's
- 13:36basement. But I do owe you guys an
- 13:38apology. I said I would eat crow last
- 13:41weekend. I said I thought that the silver
- 13:42price would be between 83 and $85 this weekend.
- 13:47Well apparently I was wrong. We did get there early in the
- 13:50week, but right now I'm certainly wrong on where the
- 13:55silver price is. All right, let's move on.
- 13:58This is are you getting a little, I'm just, I'll say
- 14:02speculate. I'm getting a little suspicious
- 14:05about the supposed massive success of the summit that
- 14:11President Donald Trump just had in China.
- 14:13Not a political channel, not a political statement, but we keep
- 14:17getting these messages, excuse me, that everything was great,
- 14:23everything's awesome, everything's wonderful.
- 14:26And as soon as that, two things happen.
- 14:28When he was there, the price of gold and silver cratered.
- 14:32But as soon as we got back right, the stock market on
- 14:35Friday went down huge. And then the bond market.
- 14:39And guys, we the why, very important reason why we need to
- 14:43pay attention to the bond market.
- 14:45All of us are brainwashed in a couple things here in the United
- 14:50States of America. The paper money has value, but
- 14:53that the other thing is like the stock market is so important, so
- 14:56important and it is important, but the bond market, here's a
- 15:00little secret, is multiple times bigger.
- 15:04So Trump gets back from this supposed, you know, great
- 15:07productive summit and all of a sudden what happens, right?
- 15:12The bond market implodes the biggest market in the world.
- 15:15So I don't know. I'm a little, a little, I don't
- 15:18say I don't know, like my, my Spidey senses tingling like
- 15:22what's going on? We are we are living through
- 15:24some very, very, very interesting times.
- 15:27And then I saw this and I happened to to agree with it.
- 15:33Where is it? Hold on one second here.
- 15:39Here we go. Brian London says looks like
- 15:44China. It looks like China got
- 15:48something out of the meeting, a cheaper price for all the gold
- 15:51they're buying. And I thought, you know what?
- 15:53That's kind of true. It's just weird that that the
- 15:57Trump went to China and like, and I'm not blaming Trump and
- 16:02I'm, I'm speculating. I'm just saying it makes me a
- 16:05little curious and suspicious that what happened over there
- 16:09because like the price of silver and in China, the price of
- 16:12silver on the Shanghai Gold Exchange really went down.
- 16:16Let's see if we can pull that up real quick.
- 16:18I forgot to have that here. Hold on.
- 16:20We're going to go on a little field trip together, my friends,
- 16:23and we're going to go out to the hold on Oriental Ghost and see
- 16:33if we can get an update here on Here we go.
- 16:38Oriental should pull him up. There he is.
- 16:41We love him. See if he's got the update from
- 16:44Friday on. Here it is, right here.
- 16:49Yeah. Well, they were down like us,
- 16:5010%, so $88. And where are we?
- 16:54So there's still the price of silver in China is still wow,
- 17:01hold on, let's go out and check on.
- 17:02I think ours is 76. Uh oh, wrong one.
- 17:09Here we are. Yeah.
- 17:11So we closed in the spot market on Friday at 7609 and we have
- 17:23$88 per oz. So there's still $12.00.
- 17:26I mean, that's what that's $89.00 per oz.
- 17:30That's 13. What's 13 / 76?
- 17:36They're like 15% higher than us. That is crazy, unbelievable.
- 17:40OK, let's move on. Chinese.
- 17:43OK, so in the next piece of data out of China that goes along
- 17:47with what we just talked about, don't fear.
- 17:49China's central bank added even more gold to its reserves in
- 17:53April. Take a look at this.
- 17:56OK, this is from the World Gold Council and its data through
- 18:00April of 2026. And as you can see, they are
- 18:06back at it again. And what is it like 18 months,
- 18:1015 months in a row that the Chinese continue to buy gold?
- 18:15And our friend Granny, now we're going to look at some fun stuff
- 18:18about the gold and silver price. This is gold.
- 18:21However, gold applies to silver. Grady says the red slingshot
- 18:27parabolic move for gold is still in play as long as the red
- 18:32parabolic curve is not broken to the downside.
- 18:35So if that the red parabolic trend line is to hold, the way
- 18:39is still up. Now gold is close back to the
- 18:43red line. So he's been, he's had this
- 18:45chart out for a long time. This is the parabolic move that
- 18:49we've had in gold. And guys, the trend is still
- 18:52still moving forward. I know, right?
- 18:55All of us have kind of suffered through this section right here
- 19:00for gold and for silver, but we need to recognize that we are
- 19:04still in a strong upward trend when it comes to gold and
- 19:09silver. Let's talk about the Comex next.
- 19:13Interesting developments at the Comex.
- 19:15We got a couple things to talk about.
- 19:17Before we do that, I do want to say thank you too.
- 19:21See my finger first mining gold stock I bone long before they
- 19:27sponsored the channel 1 of some of my first YouTube videos that
- 19:30I ever made were about first mining gold.
- 19:33They're a Canadian gold development stage company.
- 19:36They've got 2 huge multi million ounce development stage projects
- 19:41in Canada, both of which have millions of Oz of gold in the
- 19:45ground. Spring pull in Ontario and
- 19:48Duparquet in Quebec. And guys, there just aren't a
- 19:52lot of huge multi million ounce gold development stage projects
- 19:57in good jurisdictions like Canada.
- 20:00You can learn more about First Mining Gold at their website,
- 20:04firstmininggold.com. Always do your own research.
- 20:09Always be responsible. I'm not a financial advisor, but
- 20:14I can share with you, like I said, in Full disclosure, it is
- 20:17a stock that I own. OK, let's go over to the COMEX.
- 20:21Oh, this is interesting, very interesting.
- 20:32The silver wig says this yesterday.
- 20:36Sharp drop in silver futures. Big mistake.
- 20:39Shorts, right? We know they've been
- 20:47manipulating the price of silver at the COMEX and the LBMA for a
- 20:50long, long time. He says it incentivizes buyers
- 20:54to stand for delivery on the COMEX, right.
- 20:58There's already been a massive drain of physical metal out of
- 21:01the COMEX, and some people speculate that it might be going
- 21:05to China and India. OK, we'll leave that alone for
- 21:09now. OK.
- 21:11Incentivizing buyers to stand for delivery at the COMEX,
- 21:13locking in physical metal at the crushed paper price.
- 21:19Yeah, that went from like 90 to 76 in like 48 hours while
- 21:23premiums explode. The result, the vaults drain
- 21:29fast registered silver plummets. Although I did see that register
- 21:34was up a little bit the other day, but that's probably because
- 21:36people are going to be pulling a bunch of silver out and they
- 21:39don't have room in their inventory.
- 21:41This is the part that I love every we're to the point now,
- 21:45right where every smash backfires hard onto the Comex
- 21:51and I would also say on to the LBMA as well now more right,
- 21:56This is like conspiracy ish or now you know anyway, big news
- 22:02out of COMEX in Chinese silver bars.
- 22:05This is getting a lot of attention and super interesting
- 22:10when we learned this, this was actually a memo from the CME
- 22:13Group. Now remember the CME Group owns
- 22:17the Comex. So when you hear the CME Group,
- 22:19it's basically the same thing as a Comex.
- 22:21David Morgan said Oh my, Oh my, fake silver in retail exists,
- 22:28right? That's why you always want to
- 22:29make sure you buy from a reputable good source, like
- 22:33first met anyway. But fake at the commercial level
- 22:38is perceived to be very rare. Is there fake silver at the
- 22:42Comex? What do we know for certain?
- 22:45Only time will tell. So that was in reference to this
- 22:50widely circulated memo. Actually, it's not a memo.
- 22:54This is a special executive report from the CME Group
- 22:59Subject Suspension of approved Status for Warranting and
- 23:03delivery of 2 silver brands under the COMEX silver futures
- 23:09contract. Effective immediately and until
- 23:13further notice, the Comex has suspended approved status for
- 23:18registration and delivery of the following brands of silver of
- 23:23China origin that was produced on or after May 8th of 2026,
- 23:30which currently include the silver brands identified in the
- 23:34table below. That would be Yangi Nan Don Nan
- 23:38Dong Fang Metal Company and Ming Chan Environmental Energy high
- 23:42Tech Company. OK Silver produced prior to May
- 23:468th, we'll continue to be eligible for warranting and
- 23:49delivery. So they are suspending certain
- 23:52Chinese silver basically from being used on the COMEX.
- 23:56Is that question, Remember what we talked about earlier with
- 24:01since President Donald Trump, not a political statement, I'm
- 24:05not a political channel, but the fact that since he's been in
- 24:08China, the price of silver got demolished.
- 24:13And then is it also a little interesting that the Comex then
- 24:18comes out and says that about Silver that we're not going to
- 24:22let him use those bars? I don't know.
- 24:23I'm just speculating. I want to emphasize that, but I
- 24:27find it very, very interesting. And you know what channel,
- 24:31friend, and I've actually never met him or talked to him, but he
- 24:35comes on the channel or his people do International Stacker
- 24:38put this out yesterday And I think it drives home a real
- 24:41simple important message for everyone in the precious metal
- 24:46sucker. He said breaking silver down 9%.
- 24:51I checked my stack and it's still there.
- 24:54Stack silver do nothing not not financial advice stays stacked.
- 25:00And man, look at that pile of silver.
- 25:03I'm telling you what I'm like, is that on a like a concrete
- 25:05table or something? And I thought if they, if that's
- 25:08a boat, I'd be able to know which boat it is because the
- 25:11boat would be leaning to one side.
- 25:13But to me, the important reminder there is right,
- 25:17Remember right here, here's a 5 oz 5 oz bar of silver.
- 25:22Three days ago, it was a 5 oz bar of silver.
- 25:25Today, guess what, it's still a 5 oz bar of silver.
- 25:30The value in paper make believe fantasy island dollars may have
- 25:36gone down the price, but the silver, it's still 5 ounces of
- 25:41silver. And whether you're like me and
- 25:43have 5 oz or you got 5 million, it doesn't matter, right?
- 25:49In the long term outlook, we looked at the math earlier.
- 25:53This interest rate BS, the the debt be the the long term
- 25:58outlook even measured in U.S. dollars is still very, very
- 26:03good. Here's another big indicator
- 26:05that things are still the physical, physical, this is
- 26:10physical, physical silver. Things are still very good in
- 26:14the physical silver world. This is important and it makes
- 26:18total sense. And that's because, oh, hold on
- 26:21here. Here we are.
- 26:29Karl Marx shares with us. Silver is down sharply today.
- 26:35That would have been yesterday as we all remember.
- 26:37Don't forget, guys, we are the basement dwellers.
- 26:39This is the silver support group.
- 26:41I hope you're feeling better already.
- 26:43I am. I love it when you guys come
- 26:45down here. It's fun hanging out with you.
- 26:47But OK, even though silver was down sharply, but, and it's a
- 26:52big butt and we like big butts, the lease rate is not falling
- 26:57with it. Oh, well, what what is?
- 27:01What does that tell us? Right?
- 27:02Because what is leasing? Leasing means you pay somebody
- 27:06to use something physical, right?
- 27:09He goes on to say if this were a real easing of the physical
- 27:13market, lease rates should come down as well.
- 27:20In the argument that he's making, and I agree with, and it
- 27:24makes perfect sense, right, is that if the physical market were
- 27:29pulling back, people wouldn't be paying such a big premium to
- 27:33lease physical silver. The only reason why the lease
- 27:37rates go up is because there's big demand, right?
- 27:41And if lease rates on physical silver go up, that would mean
- 27:46that the physical demand, the act, the demand for physical
- 27:50silver is also going up. Sometimes you got to strip out
- 27:54all the complicated tables and just use common sense.
- 27:57And doesn't that make sense to me?
- 28:00That makes perfect sense. We talked earlier.
- 28:04It's not it's that time of the show where we talked about the
- 28:07number one in this, this, this changes down here.
- 28:10For those of you who are new to the basement, you know, two
- 28:14years ago we were focused on stagflation right now.
- 28:17And stagflation still exists, by the way, we are focused on
- 28:21inflation. Remember earlier how Kitco and
- 28:24all the mainstream, oh, gold and silver getting smashed because
- 28:28inflation are because inflation's going up and rates
- 28:31are going to have to rise. Well, inflation is going up much
- 28:34faster. And we get this right.
- 28:37The big, the big news story from our friends at CNBC, This is
- 28:43interesting. Inflation rate is now projected
- 28:46to hit 6% in the second quarter. Need I remind you we are exactly
- 28:52halfway through the second quarter, which includes April,
- 28:56May and June and we're about it. May 15th, they're saying that
- 29:00we're going to hit 6% inflation rate.
- 29:03But this is from top economic forecasters.
- 29:07Just these three bullet points. Recent surge in inflation is
- 29:10likely to get worse over the next several months and
- 29:15contribute to much, much higher gold and silver prices,
- 29:18according to a survey Friday from the nation's top economist.
- 29:26The top economist, and that's CNBC saying this consumer price
- 29:30inflation is projected to hit 6% for the first quarter according
- 29:36to the survey professional forecasters.
- 29:38I think they mean second quarter compared to 2.7% in the prior
- 29:44survey. The survey follows a slew of
- 29:48inflation data showing the prices paid both at the consumer
- 29:52and wholesale levels hit multi year highs in April.
- 30:03Wow, wow, wow. OK guy, when we get when we get
- 30:086%, Oh, that's, oh, that's official inflation.
- 30:15There's this other thing called shadow stats, right, where they
- 30:19actually measure inflation the way they did back in the 80s and
- 30:2290s, right? That's 6% is the official
- 30:26inflation. I'm going to warn you, be
- 30:28prepared right now. I told upstairs Susie this the
- 30:31other day. So we might be in for some like
- 30:34crazy times when it comes to food prices, fuel prices, just
- 30:39basic living prices. Be prepared guys for inflation
- 30:43numbers. I'm not saying the sky is
- 30:45falling, we're going to have hyperinflation, but we could.
- 30:49But it minimum, I'm very confident in knowing that when I
- 30:52look at a year, 2 years from now, I could see gas prices, I
- 30:57could see milk, all those prices up 20, thirty, 40%.
- 31:01OK, it's going to happen. All right, guys, I'll be back
- 31:04tomorrow. We're going to talk more
- 31:05tomorrow about this bond Armageddon, isn't it?
- 31:10I mean, are you suspicious as I mean, Trump goes to China,
- 31:15silver price collapses, OK. And then on Friday, suddenly
- 31:22like the most important market in the world, the bond market is
- 31:26having Armageddon. I mean, all the all the
- 31:30financial you, I mean, everybody's talking about this.
- 31:33It's a little weird. I'm sorry.
- 31:35Oh, and by the way, there's really been no progress made in
- 31:40a peace talks with the IRM. I mean, we are going, we, we got
- 31:43to stay on top of this and we'll do it and we'll do it together.
- 31:46Thanks for joining me. I am 100% confident.
- 31:49I hope you are my fellow basement dwellers with where the
- 31:53silver and gold price are heading, the real value of
- 31:59silver and gold, right? We aren't looking at it on a day
- 32:01by day basis, right? Although we love the green days
- 32:04and we don't like big red days like we had this week.
- 32:08But we are the silver support group.
- 32:10Yeah, they can. They can throw all the drama at
- 32:14us. They can throw all the trauma at
- 32:17us, right? Like Silver International
- 32:19Stacker showed, right? The metal is still the metal.
- 32:24It has been right. This 500 years ago was 5 ounces
- 32:30of silver. This today is 5 ounces of
- 32:33silver. This 500 years from now, it's
- 32:38still going to be 5 ounces of silver.
- 32:40Gold, silver. I'm optimistic.
- 32:44I hope you are too. Thanks for joining me down here
- 32:46in the basement. Please subscribe to the channel,
- 32:48give the video a thumbs up, take care of yourself, and I'll see
