- 0:19things in the world. Silver and gold, big stories
- 0:22coming out of mainstream media. We are in phase two of global
- 0:28popularity, but there's a lot more to cover.
- 0:30Things are happening so quickly right now in the precious metal
- 0:34sector. It's hard for any of us to stay

- 0:46OK, I'm going to prep you for what might happen later today.
- 0:50And of course, we're going to talk about the Asian AI guy and
- 0:53what's going on there. But first we're going to talk
- 0:55about you. Oh, before I forget, hey, thank

- 1:52but I really do appreciate you. OK, this is not possible.
- 1:57This doesn't work without the support of the sponsors, but
- 2:00most importantly, you. The sponsors aren't here unless
- 2:04you're here. You're important.
- 2:06We appreciate you and thank you very much.
- 2:09Let's have a great 2026 together, man.
- 2:12Let's just dig right in. We got more, we got more fun
- 2:15stuff to cover. And for those of you who were
- 2:17here yesterday, I apologize for no microphone for the first 3
- 2:22minutes, but I'm pretty sure you can hear me today.
- 2:24So today's the big day, guys. It's finally happening.
- 2:28This is from CNBC. Have you heard of them?
- 2:32Mainstream media. China to restrict silver
- 2:37exports. Oh, they're finally reporting
- 2:39it. Echoing this is did.
- 2:41There's something very interesting about this because
- 2:44it's echoing what they did with rare earths.
- 2:46Remember they restricted that what about a year ago and the
- 2:50price of rare earth metals kind of exploded.
- 2:53Let's see in yellow. New hold on here, Make sure
- 2:59we're working. New Chinese policies restricting
- 3:02silver exports are set to kick in Thursday.
- 3:06What is today today's today's Thursday.
- 3:08Yes, as Beijing tightens its grip on the metal, that's
- 3:12silver. state-run Securities Times on Tuesday cited an
- 3:17unnamed industry insider who said the new export controls
- 3:21place it on the same regulatory footing as rare earths.
- 3:27That was from the Chinese media, the same footing as rare earths.
- 3:32Go take a look at what happened to the price of rare earth
- 3:34metals when China did that. We can only extrapolate what
- 3:38might happen to silver as well. Silver prices have surged as
- 3:42investors hedge just a weakening U.S. dollar.
- 3:46And yeah, you know what they call that now?
- 3:48You know what they're all calling it?
- 3:49They're copying off us. We always said it was the the
- 3:53basement trade, right? Silver's off the floor.
- 3:57We used to talk about that all the time here in the basement.
- 4:00The sentiment for silver and gold, we're basically on this
- 4:03basement floor. Well, we are now in phase two,
- 4:07right? And now they're all calling it
- 4:09the basement trade. I mean, come on, we were we're
- 4:14we're a little ahead of the curve.
- 4:15For those of you who are new, Welcome to the basement.
- 4:18We're always a little bit ahead of the curve even.
- 4:21And I'm not going to go down this path.
- 4:23But even five years from now when everybody's talking about
- 4:26tokenization of gold and silver and how it created this
- 4:29unbelievable demand, you heard it here first.
- 4:32We heard it. We talked about it first.
- 4:34All right, more. Oh, gosh, all right.
- 4:36This is nuts. This is nuts.
- 4:39What's going on? What ACEO of a silver mining
- 4:43company said yesterday, and we now have this from two sources,
- 4:472 reliable sources, the first of with which is guess who, CNBC.
- 4:53The fact that CNBC is talking about this and reporting this is
- 4:58astounding, but what it means for silver in particular is
- 5:03absolutely stunning. Guys, I don't know if you heard
- 5:06this yet, but OK, let's go up to the top.
- 5:10I want to give credit to who Wall Street gold put this out.
- 5:13OK, China is now am I on the right screen?
- 5:17I am. China is now going straight to
- 5:19minors. Straight to minors.
- 5:21China's going straight to minors.
- 5:23I've said that four times and paying eight over spot for
- 5:27silver India offering $10 plus. OK, this, what's incredible
- 5:33about this is that it's it's coming from CNBC, as you can see
- 5:37down there in the bottom, but let's read this.
- 5:39And it's coming from the CEO. 2 Chinese companies contacted
- 5:44Canada based Kuya Silver on Friday, offering to buy physical
- 5:49silver at about $8 more than the market price at the time, Chief
- 5:54Executive Officer David Stein confirmed to CNBC.
- 6:00He said one company was a manufacturer, the other a large
- 6:04trading firm. Also.
- 6:06OK, that's China. Remember 1.4 billion people,
- 6:09they're restricting the export of silver.
- 6:12They love silver and gold. It's been ingrained in their
- 6:14culture for centuries. OK, that's China.
- 6:17Now there's another country out there that happens to love
- 6:19silver, it's called India. I know a lot of Indian people.
- 6:23They, I mean, it is, they are all about silver and gold.
- 6:26OK, now listen to this. An Indian buyer also approached
- 6:32Kuya on Monday with an offer $10 above the market price, he
- 6:39added. So do you want to hear it right
- 6:42from his mouth? Because our friend and one of
- 6:44the most respected long term names in the silver sector, Mr.
- 6:49Chris Marcus from Arcadia Economics, actually had the CEO
- 6:54on OK and let's listen to what he says.
- 6:57Let me put this up on full screen.
- 6:58There's Chris Marcus. I love the Hollywood sign behind
- 7:02him. Go Silver.
- 7:03All right, let's listen to what Cooya Silver.
- 7:06That's David Stein. You might be able to see it.
- 7:09Hold on. Let's get the magic Markers out
- 7:11right. So.
- 7:13Just going back to Friday. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
- 7:15whoa, whoa. David, not your time to speak
- 7:18yet. Hold on here, guys.
- 7:20The magic Markers aren't working anyway.
- 7:22Right there it says Kuya Silver. David Stein.
- 7:24Let's listen to the CEO. Kuya Silver.
- 7:27So just going back to Friday, the other need a little bit of
- 7:31silver quickly or they're really trying to make relationships
- 7:35with with with companies that can be longer term players and
- 7:39essentially get the get the metal directly and circumvent
- 7:42the middle man. One of the one of the Chinese
- 7:45companies was in fact a solar panel manufacturer that was that
- 7:48we're talking to. And then yesterday we were
- 7:51approached by an Indian firm this time.
- 7:53Indian firm. Similar premium they were
- 7:57offering in the low 80s for silver when silver was in the
- 8:00low to mid 70s. So probably another 8 to $10
- 8:03premium there. So.
- 8:05OK, guys. So there we have it straight
- 8:07from the CEO's mouth. OK?
- 8:11What's happening here is, is the paper market, the COMEX in
- 8:16particular, and the LBMA, because it's leveraged up to the
- 8:19the hill, is being overtaken by physical demand.
- 8:23It really is truly different this time, OK, The forces of
- 8:29supply and demand, that's like the, that's like the laws of
- 8:33gravity, right? It's a law of nature, God-given,
- 8:36however you want to think about it, in the end, Mother Nature
- 8:39always wins. Think about that, right?
- 8:42I heard John Little from the The Silver Academy put a great piece
- 8:46out the other day where he talked about he was a brick
- 8:49salesman at one point of his life.
- 8:51And there was this company that the contractors would say, well,
- 8:55Acme Brick says they'll sell us bricks for $0.40 each.
- 8:59And, and, and John would say, well, Acme Brick doesn't exist,
- 9:03right? The cost is $0.60 if you
- 9:05actually want the bricks. So I didn't do the best to get
- 9:09giving that story, but that's what's happening right now for
- 9:12us in the world of silver. And things look good for gold as
- 9:16well. But let's talk about the Asian
- 9:18AI guy because he's coming out with some crazy predictions
- 9:21about what we could see later tonight.
- 9:23And I'm going to give you a warning here later about what
- 9:26could happen later tonight. But he's coming out with some
- 9:29just unbelievable information. People are certainly speculating
- 9:33on the legitimacy of this guy, but he is causing quite a, a, a
- 9:38splash in the world of precious metals.
- 9:41Hold on here, make sure we're not having tech issues.
- 9:44OK, here we go. The mysterious Asian guy
- 9:48channels are flooding the space with silver market Intel.
- 9:52Who's behind them? Unknown.
- 9:54That's the big controversy. That's the big situation right
- 9:59now that everybody's talking about, but their January 2nd
- 10:03opening predictions are everywhere.
- 10:05He came out with some videos of talking about what we could see
- 10:10if, if there's a gaslight attempt, OK, the banks will
- 10:13smash the price down to 65 to 68.
- 10:16That's later today. But what's getting a lot more
- 10:19attention are are these gap up possibilities tonight?
- 10:24Later on a conservative side, they're thinking that silver
- 10:27could open at 78, close at 80, moderate opens at 80, closes at
- 10:3385. Aggressive.
- 10:35OK, That the price of silver could open at $82 and close at
- 10:3990s Extreme 10% chance. Paper market breaks.
- 10:44Force majeure, meaning they have to give up, right?
- 10:47They can't fulfill their contractual duties.
- 10:49That's what force majeure means. Physical decouples completely.
- 10:53My take, and this is from Mark, he's wildly entertaining and
- 10:57often touches on plausible truths.
- 10:59I would agree with that. But who's right?
- 11:02We'll know tonight OK are pretty his prediction the shorts will
- 11:06launch one more desperate attack to escape before physical
- 11:10markets take over for good. What do you think and there's
- 11:13some very smart people that are predicting that we're going to
- 11:16come back and watch this little one minute clip from the Asian
- 11:19AI guy. But but guys we got to remember
- 11:22right they are not going to give up without a fight.
- 11:25So what the paper market with the COMEX the the big bullion
- 11:28banks do later, it could get very, very interesting.
- 11:32I'll give you a warning later in the video.
- 11:34Let's go back to the Asian AI guy and hear what he has to say
- 11:39because it is entertaining to say the least.
- 11:43Here we go. This is the story of the first
- 11:50default of 2026. I told you yesterday the 2 price
- 11:53world was coming. I told you when China locked the
- 11:56vault at midnight, the paper and physical markets would separate.
- 11:59It took less than 24 hours. Look at what we are seeing in
- 12:02the wholesale market right now. The spot price, the number on
- 12:05your screen says 70 point $60.00.
- 12:09That is yesterday's close. That is what CNBC will quote
- 12:12when they reopen. That is the official price.
- 12:15Actually, I think that in the private market.
- 12:16Where real metal changes hands, premiums have exploded
- 12:19overnight. My sources in the wholesale
- 12:21network are reporting $12.00 over spot to secure physical
- 12:25bars. That's.
- 12:25What We Heard 12. Dollars.
- 12:26That puts the real price at 82.60 dollars.
- 12:30Let me say that again. The screen says $70.00.
- 12:33The metal costs $82. The gap is $12.00 and growing.
- 12:37Do you understand what just happened?
- 12:39The paper market is frozen at a fake price.
- 12:42The physical market is sprinting toward reality.
- 12:44The connection between them has snapped.
- 12:46The 44 company export ban from China did not just restrict
- 12:49supply, it broke the pricing mechanism entirely.
- 12:53It broke the pricing mechanism entirely.
- 12:57I don't know guys. It's getting very interesting.
- 12:59And like we said earlier, we are now officially in phase two of.
- 13:06OK OK. All right, Thank you, Susie.
- 13:09That's upstairs. Susie.
- 13:10She's back on with us. But we are in phase two.
- 13:13We're gonna look next. Like what did the guy in my bat,
- 13:16my walkie talkies beeping. The batteries are low.
- 13:20We're gonna we're gonna listen to the guy from more mainstream
- 13:23media, the Pawn Stars and then the most surprising to me
- 13:28mainstream media source that is putting big attention on silver
- 13:32and gold and a big bonus factor why that's so important.
- 13:35Before we do that I do want to say thank you to 1st mining gold
- 13:39for sponsoring Ron's basement. There are gold development stage
- 13:43company 2 huge projects in Canada spring pulling Ontario du

- 15:45No paper games, no LBMA, no COMEX.
- 15:48It's the freshest silver around. First mint.com.
- 15:51OK, let's go. OK, Why is it a big deal?
- 15:56This, this next piece we're going to watch is a big deal on
- 15:592 levels. Number one, it's coming from
- 16:02mainstream media #2 it's coming from a guy who I didn't even
- 16:08realize was a big silver buff. It's it's from the show Pawn
- 16:11Stars, which a lot of you've probably watched.
- 16:14But what's even more interesting is what he says about silver,
- 16:17and it's coming from Fox Business.
- 16:19Let's go out and take a look at this right now.
- 16:23There's Cuya Silver. There's that.
- 16:25Here we go. I'm going to share the right
- 16:27screen for you. Here we go, guys.
- 16:29Peter Spina shared this. The silver story is making its
- 16:33way into the US media after ignoring it all year.
- 16:37Let's pull this up and let's listen here.
- 16:39This is on FOX Business. This is great.
- 16:42Silver, which had a fresh record today, is at more than 150% this
- 16:47year. But this is all as investors are
- 16:49choosing the precious metals over a dollar that's losing its
- 16:52luster. That's called the debasement
- 16:55trade missus. This isn't just a Wall Street
- 16:58story. When the price of metals move at
- 17:00this rate, it impacts what people buy and sell.
- 17:03There's no one better to break it down than a man who has seen
- 17:06every boom, bust and bargain. So he's been around for a long
- 17:11time and highly respected. Joining me now, the Fox Business
- 17:16exclusive, the star of the hit show Pawn Stars and owner of the
- 17:20Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Rick Harrison.
- 17:24So great to have you. What are you seeing when
- 17:27consumers come in? What are they?
- 17:28Wait, wait till you hear what he says about buyers versus
- 17:32sellers. This is very interesting.
- 17:34Bringing and how does the price change how they feel and and?
- 17:39What they're selling. So I, I have a lot of like
- 17:43people that just had like 2050 ounces of silver, they're coming
- 17:46in and selling it. The problem is.
- 17:48OK. So people with 20 oz 50 ounces
- 17:51are selling? I have demand at 10 times that
- 17:55much investment. What did he he just said it.
- 17:57And I promise I'll stop. I'll stop talking over this.
- 18:00Demand is 10 times more. Well, just, you know, retail
- 18:05investment silver I can't keep in stock and can't.
- 18:09Keep in stock this. Time around, I do not think it's
- 18:11a bubble though. The thing is, is there's been.
- 18:14It's not a bubble. Now I promise I won't talk.
- 18:17Just there's just a structural deficit of silver.
- 18:20There's, you know, there's so much industrial demand for it
- 18:23now past five years in a row, there's been right around a 200
- 18:26million a year oz deficit on what's actually mined and, you
- 18:30know, and the scrap market. And I see no end to it because
- 18:35this whole AI thing and the data centers, they're using more and
- 18:39more silver. They're pressing out every.
- 18:42They're trying to get every little thing to get a little bit
- 18:45more speed, a little bit more memory and.
- 18:46Wait till you see the next person.
- 18:48We're going. To talk and nothing in the world
- 18:50conducts electricity better than silver.
- 18:53They're actually making like all the computer cables in the those
- 18:56data centers, they're switching them over to silver just to get
- 18:59a little bit more speed, so. OK, we know all that, guys.
- 19:06Are you feeling good about your decision to protect some of your
- 19:09wealth with precious metals after watching that?
- 19:12But wait, there's more. This next person who's talking
- 19:16about silver, I will say, is mainstream media.
- 19:19But there's an extra added bonus why this person to me is even
- 19:23more important because we're talking about, right, global
- 19:26recognition starting to occur when it comes to the precious
- 19:30metals. This is Graham Stephen.
- 19:33You probably haven't heard of him if you're around my age.
- 19:36A lot of people around RH haven't, but he's a super
- 19:40popular YouTube financial creator who has over 5 million
- 19:47followers. OK?
- 19:49And he put out a video about silver.
- 19:51The reason why that's so important is because this is
- 19:55reaching a much younger target audience, a lot of us.
- 20:00I hope you're younger than me. I'm 55 years old.
- 20:02A lot of us silver stagger we're we're in our 40s, fifties, 60s,
- 20:06seventies, 80s. OK.
- 20:08But if the younger people really start to come in and the fact
- 20:12that Graham Stefan, we're just going to watch a few minutes.
- 20:14I'll introduce you to him. I followed him for years.
- 20:17He's a very smart, but he's a young guy and he appeals to the
- 20:21younger people. Even during the couple summers
- 20:25ago, I was at the neighborhood pool.
- 20:26I was talking to this neighbor of mine and his wife.
- 20:29They're both pharmacists. They're very smart.
- 20:31I know them, they're great people, but they're about 15
- 20:34years younger than me, 20 years younger than me.
- 20:37And I was talking about YouTube and gold and silver.
- 20:40And he said, oh, I follow Graham Stephen and Graham Stephen.
- 20:43So these are the type people that follow this guy.
- 20:46Let's go check out what he's doing with silver right now.
- 20:51So here's his channel. Hold on, let me pull it up.
- 20:55Hopefully it's on your screen. There he is 5.1 million
- 21:00subscribers. Look, my channel, I'm very happy
- 21:03and grateful for you being here for all of you have who have
- 21:06subscribed. If you've not subscribed, please
- 21:09do so. We want to have you you back in
- 21:11the basement. But I have 6768 thousand
- 21:14subscribers. He has 5.1 million.
- 21:18And look, he's a youngster in this whole video is about
- 21:22silver. China just broke the goal the
- 21:25global economy. What the heck happened to
- 21:28Silver? Let's pull this up on full
- 21:30screen and I kind of fast. Hey guys, it's Graham here.
- 21:34So it's official. Starting January 1st, China will
- 21:37begin restricting its supply of silver to the global market.
- 21:40And when they control roughly 60 to 70% of global supply, that
- 21:44single decision is about to throw a major wrench throughout
- 21:48our entire economy. After all, what most people
- 21:50don't realize is that silver isn't just an investment, it's a
- 21:53critical resource used throughout cars, batteries,
- 21:56electronics, solar, and almost every item that we use on a
- 21:59day-to-day basis. Not to mention, the world is
- 22:02already consuming more silver than can be replaced.
- 22:05So with China's decision just a few days away, that price
- 22:08increase is expected to get a lot worse.
- 22:10That's why we urgently need to talk about exactly what's
- 22:13happening to Silver, why China's cracking down, How this.
- 22:16Urgently need to talk about with his 5.1 million subscribers
- 22:23what's happening with silver. Well, we love you Graham, and
- 22:27we're glad you're educating your people guys.
- 22:29But here's the reality for most of us and those of you who are
- 22:33new welcome, right? There's still room on what I
- 22:36like to refer to as the silver lifeboat.
- 22:39Imagine we're on the Titanic together and we start to get a
- 22:42notion that things aren't going very well.
- 22:44We're like the first people that got on the 1st lifeboat.
- 22:47We're getting lowered down right now.
- 22:49You know, there aren't many lifeboats left.
- 22:52And there's going to come a point when all those people,
- 22:54those are the people that are, that are, that are, that are
- 22:57watching CNN all day long and like everything's great.
- 23:01I can still go to Applebee's and have dinner.
- 23:03What do I have to worry about? We're already off the ship.
- 23:07We're in the silver and gold lifeboat.
- 23:08Graham is trying to get more people into silver and gold
- 23:11lifeboat, but there's not that much room.
- 23:14And that could create an overwhelming wave of demand for
- 23:20the precious metals. It's going to be super, super
- 23:22interesting now. Next, we're going to talk about
- 23:24gold. But first, when we talk about
- 23:27gold, we're going to talk about a stunning fact about silver
- 23:31that again, you know, we love gold and we're going to talk
- 23:34about gold and we want gold to go higher and higher and higher.
- 23:36No doubt about it. Gold is the the grand pappy of
- 23:40the precious metals world. But before we do that, quickly,
- 23:44I want to recommend or maybe suggest or, or just tell you
- 23:48that there's a charity that I've become very fond fond of called
- 23:52Hope Walks. Let me show you their their
- 23:55website super quickly. They are treating children
- 23:59around the world who are born with clubfoot.
- 24:03Go check them out. Read about how common clubfoot
- 24:06is. It's common even in the United
- 24:08States and Western countries, but we get treated for it.
- 24:11But in a lot of these poor countries, they can't.
- 24:14This this charity is helping facilitate the treatment for 10s
- 24:19of thousands of children around the world who are born with
- 24:21clubfoot every single year. This next fact we're going to
- 24:25look at when it comes to silver and gold is absolutely stunning,
- 24:30right? You maybe you know this already,
- 24:32but actually seeing it and thinking about it.
- 24:34Thank you for that super chat, Stephen, Stephen Jung.
- 24:38I really appreciate that. But when you see this, it puts
- 24:43things into a bit of a different perspective.
- 24:46Here we go. This is from gold silver HQ.
- 24:50Gold is am I sharing the screen? I think I am Gold is stored,
- 24:55silver is consumed. Silver is actually scarcer than
- 25:00most people think. And he retweeted this from
- 25:03Michael Gayed CFA, which is what chartered financial analyst.
- 25:07Here's the silver fact that changes everything.
- 25:12There's more gold sitting idle than silver ready to trade.
- 25:17I didn't realize this was the fact that right now above ground
- 25:21in the world, there's apparently 205,000 metric tons, most of
- 25:27gold mostly stored in vaults. There's only 55,000 metric tons
- 25:33of of silver that's identifiable and accessible.
- 25:38Think about that guys. And still we know, right, the
- 25:41gold to silver, the gold to silver ratio, which measures the
- 25:45number of Oz of silver that you need to buy one ounce of gold
- 25:49has come down right about, I don't know, three or four months
- 25:52ago, it was over 100 ounces of silver to get one ounce of gold.
- 25:57Now it's down to around 6065, down a lot no matter what it is.
- 26:02But but on the big picture, when it comes to available metal
- 26:06above the ground, there's actually less silver.
- 26:10And then when you consider and there's different numbers that
- 26:12come out of this, but for each one ounce of gold that's mined
- 26:16every year, there's somewhere between 7:00 and 10:00, only 7
- 26:21and 10 ounces of silver that are mined.
- 26:24And a lot of that now I think we can say most of it is being
- 26:28consumed by industry. Do I need, do we need to go
- 26:32through, do we need to review? What about those new solid-state
- 26:35batteries coming from Samsung? We love Samsung, We love a new
- 26:41battery for electric vehicles that weighs half as much,
- 26:44charges in 10 minutes, right? And you can drive the electric
- 26:48car twice as far. I don't think that's going to be
- 26:51popular to you. And I'm reading about there's a
- 26:54company in the United States that's going to go public,
- 26:56that's in the solid-state battery.
- 26:58That's the wave of the future. What about solar panels?
- 27:01What about what the guy from Pawn Stars was talking about
- 27:04with the AI data centers? What about the fact that silver
- 27:08is antimicrobial and used in all types of medical applications,
- 27:13right? Used in water pure, I mean,
- 27:15anyway, I digress. What about the fact, hold on a
- 27:18second, did you know? Did you know that I think what,
- 27:23since like 2016, the amount of silver being mined on an annual
- 27:29basis has actually been going down?
- 27:34I mean, is there a oh, now maybe?
- 27:38Oh my gosh, did you just feel a light bulb go off in your head?
- 27:41Maybe that's why China today implemented export controls.
- 27:48Yeah, we can get all fancy. I can pull up all kinds of
- 27:50charts. I can, you know, blah, blah,
- 27:51blah. But, you know, I think it's
- 27:53better sometimes that we just apply a little common sense to
- 27:56what's going on. And when we do that, doesn't it
- 28:01feel good that we're in silver, in gold as well?
- 28:05Now, I promise you'll be talking about gold, UBS, not BS.
- 28:10This is not BS. This is UBS me BSUBS.
- 28:16That's like the biggest financial bank in Switzerland.
- 28:20And you know, you remember, you're probably my age somewhere
- 28:24on the like. We, we know from a young age,
- 28:27remember secret Swiss bank accounts like the Swiss bankers,
- 28:31they had the inside information. That's where wealthy people put
- 28:35their money. We're in Swiss bank accounts,
- 28:38right? And UBS has a real great history
- 28:41of making some accurate predictions.
- 28:44Imagine that when it comes to the price of gold and silver,
- 28:48and gold is the grand pappy of the precious metals.
- 28:52We have much respect. We've been talking a lot.
- 28:54Silver's been getting all the headlines, well, most of them
- 28:57lately, but we still love our gold.
- 29:00And let's briefly go out the Kitco and see what they're
- 29:03telling us about what to expect up Discovery.
- 29:07All right, Discovery metal. OK, here we go.
- 29:10This is an article that was written by Ernest Hoffman.
- 29:13He writes some great stuff. UBS sees $5000 gold by Q 320260,
- 29:19but there's a bonus. I'm, I'm sorry, I should have
- 29:22warned you. There's a bonus factor that's
- 29:24not in this article that we're going to talk about that I think
- 29:27could send the price of gold way higher.
- 29:30OK, 5400 if political risk goes up in yellow. 2 short things to
- 29:35read here. Gold prices will reach 5000 per
- 29:39oz by September of 2026. That would be 9 months.
- 29:42And any increase in political or economic turmoil surrounding the
- 29:46US midterm elections could push the yellow metal to 5400 an
- 29:52ounce, according to commodity strategist at UBS.
- 29:57I like the way they call them. Strategist at UBS, not analyst.
- 30:01OK? On November 27th of last year,
- 30:03UBS said demand for gold will rise even further in the coming
- 30:08months, driven by rate cuts, falling bond yields and fiscal
- 30:12challenges and US political turmoil.
- 30:15OK. A lot of other information in
- 30:17there that you already know. I already know.
- 30:19But you know what a lot of people don't know?
- 30:23There's a bonus factor that could send that gold price even
- 30:26way higher. And by default, what do you
- 30:29think that's going to do to the price of silver?
- 30:32And I like to call it the Trump effect, not a political
- 30:37statement. I'm not a political guy.
- 30:39Ron's basement is apolitical, not political at all.
- 30:44But if we take an objective look at the, at the, let's say, for
- 30:50lack of a better word, sometimes unpredictability in the, in the
- 30:54fact that Donald Trump, right, has done is willing to do some
- 30:58bold things in some of the bold things that he's proposing out
- 31:04loud. Like he'd like to see interest
- 31:06rates at 1%. And like he like, would like to
- 31:09have a lot more control over the Federal Reserve because don't
- 31:13forget, Oh my gosh, I apologize. It's been like two months since
- 31:18we said hello. I wonder if he's still in there.
- 31:20Let's get him out and see if he's still there.
- 31:23Here he is, huh? You know what this is?
- 31:26This is the box that we are not allowed to open.
- 31:30We've had it down here for three years.
- 31:32Recession on one side, inflation on the other.
- 31:34That would be stagflation. We aren't going to go down that
- 31:37path today. But this guy, he's going bye,
- 31:40bye, everybody say bye. I have to get a new picture to
- 31:43put in there, right? He's going bye bye.
- 31:45And even under him, what we saw was a gross devaluation of this,
- 31:52right, because of this printing toilet paper money.
- 31:55Unfortunately, we don't like it. We don't agree with it.
- 31:58We're patriots, no doubt about it.
- 32:02But the Trump effect with what they're talking about, what UBS
- 32:05is talking about, they didn't talk about the Trump effect.
- 32:08They will like June, July, right when, when chaos is ensuing and
- 32:14gold is at $7400 an ounce, right, They're going to say, oh,
- 32:21a strategist, not analyst, strategist at a strategist at
- 32:25UBS. We forgot there's the Trump
- 32:28effect. And look, not political, I'm
- 32:30not, I don't like any of them that what they've done over the
- 32:33last 50 years. But if you take an objective
- 32:35look at Donald Trump's history, right, bankruptcies, he loves
- 32:39that. He loves easy money.
- 32:42Guys, it's pretty clear the direction that we are heading
- 32:46on. OK, now don't get mad at me.
- 32:47I don't want anybody to throw eggs at me, OK?
- 32:50But I will give you my prediction for where silver will
- 32:54be one year from today. And it's an either or, but I'm
- 32:59going to stick to either side of this.
- 33:01OK, I'll give you the bad news first.
- 33:03OK, either we're going to be at 55 ish dollar silver one year
- 33:09from now. If, if the COMEX and the LBMA,
- 33:14the big bullion banks, the Fed, all that are able to pull a few
- 33:18more tricks out their sleeves in the next year, I think it's a
- 33:22little more likely. So we're either going to be at
- 33:2455 or we're going to be at like 135 one year from now.
- 33:29Yes, that's right, $135 per oz. And I think it's a little, it's
- 33:35about 5050. And look, I study this stuff.
- 33:39I've studied it for decades. I have a degree in accounting,
- 33:43believe it or not, I work for a BIG4 firm.
- 33:46I can read all the technical stuff.
- 33:48I, I put it, try to put it all together and then follow my
- 33:52instincts. And I'm not bragging, but my
- 33:54instincts about 66% of the times are right.
- 33:58And I see one of those, those two scenarios unfolding.
- 34:02I'm going to give a slightly give a little bit of an edge to
- 34:06the fact that we're going to have something in the round $135
- 34:10per oz on January 1st, 2027. Be prepared.
- 34:14Warning. I got to give you a warning all
- 34:17right. But before I do that warning
- 34:19about what could happen tonight, don't forget Dirty Man Safe.
- 34:22See, I got it hanging right there.
- 34:25And I don't know if you can read that, but it says Ron 10.
- 34:28That's right. You can get a 10% discount at
- 34:31Dirty Man Safe. There are these cool safes that
- 34:33you bury in the ground. Let me pull.
- 34:35Let me get it out real quickly. Comes with a sleeve, a cap, all
- 34:40that great stuff. But this is the actual safe
- 34:42dirty man. I put that on there myself.
- 34:45Ron 10. That's the discount.
- 34:47These things are cool, OK? You open it up.
- 34:50They're built like little tanks, is the only way I can describe
- 34:53it. You put whatever you want inside
- 34:55there. I got a plastic Unicorn in that
- 34:57one. You seal it up.
- 34:59OK, You have a hole with the sleeve.
- 35:01This goes down into the hole, All right?
- 35:04It's got a handle on top that fits through the the cover that
- 35:07goes over the sleeve. Do you bury it?
- 35:10And that allows you look, here's the reality, OK, I know a lot of
- 35:14people have safe, so I don't keep anything at our house.
- 35:18But anyway, a lot of people have stuff at their house they want
- 35:20to keep safe. They'll do it with a fireproof
- 35:23safe. They'll do it with a safety
- 35:24deposit box at the bank. This gives you another option
- 35:27and you get to be like ARR pirate.
- 35:32I haven't made the sheep noise yet today.
- 35:34Anyway, you can, you can say it. You can store things in the
- 35:38ground safely, just like the pirates did for hundreds and
- 35:41hundreds of years. People are still running around
- 35:43trying to find buried pirate treasure.
- 35:46Dirty Man Safe gives you that option.
- 35:48Check them out at dirtymansafe.com.
- 35:49And don't forget there's a 10% discount code warning.
- 35:53Be prepared for tonight. I don't care what the Asian AI
- 35:56guy says, OK, but we could have a very, and there's a reason why
- 36:01we could have a very interesting open in the markets later today
- 36:05pay for silver and gold. And that is because there's so
- 36:10much craziness like we've already talked about so much
- 36:13imbalance going on out there. But on top of that, we're in
- 36:17this thinly traded zone. A lot of people are off work
- 36:21tomorrow in the past. I'm not, I'm not.
- 36:25There's speculation, speculation that the silver and gold price
- 36:29have been a little more manipulated during these periods
- 36:32of time when there's less liquidity in the market.
- 36:36That's the period we're still in right now.
- 36:39I think long term we're good. You know what, I'm going to go
- 36:41with 60% chance that we'll have $135 an ounce silver one year
- 36:46from now, OK. But just be prepared and
- 36:49remember, please, but please always be responsible.
- 36:53I'm not a financial advisor, but whatever you do, always be
- 36:56responsible. Don't use leverage.
- 36:58Don't borrow money to buy silver, gold, anything.
- 37:01Like just my opinion. I guess that is advice, but I'll
- 37:04give that to you and be careful with whatever you do and and no
- 37:07matter what, try to take emotion out of your decisions.
- 37:13Anyone who's ever become really wealthy and doing it through
- 37:17investing always says that that same thing.
- 37:21Take the emotion out of it. Oh, I need to say thank you for
- 37:24a super chat I got. Oh, I got a couple.
- 37:26Hold on, hold on. We're not done yet and I will
- 37:29ring the golden gong. I don't know if my walkies
- 37:31weren't working. Okay, no teeth.
- 37:35Thank you for the $5 super chat. And he says here, I'll put you
- 37:39up on the screen. Thank you to Susie and Rod for
- 37:42all your great info. It's great info, but what's even
- 37:45funner about this is the community, right?
- 37:47The fact that we with this technology can develop a really
- 37:51cool community of people. Thank you, no teeth.
- 37:54I love it. I love it and we got this one
- 37:57from our friend Stefan Jung, 6582.
- 38:01Great man. You guys are being nice today.
- 38:03Greatly appreciate you and your info you share.
- 38:05I usually watch your show from my basement.
- 38:09All right, and on that note, I want to say hello to you guys.
- 38:13There's so many people. Wow, 2000 people.
- 38:15We have 2000 people right now in the basement.
- 38:18That's important to remember because that shows that, that,
- 38:21that the, that the gold and silver community is growing #1
- 38:26Right. But #2 what we're going to prove
- 38:28next is that it's everywhere. That's a big, there's a reason
- 38:32why do we need to talk about this?
- 38:33That's a big competitive advantage that gold and silver
- 38:37have. Not only have they been valuable
- 38:40for like 4 or 5000 years, but they're also valuable
- 38:43everywhere. If we take this, I got to show
- 38:46you this, I do love it. I'm not trying to re plug First
- 38:49Met, but that's the back of the Buffalo round from First Met.
- 38:53Isn't that beautiful, right? I mean, it's just absolutely
- 38:57beautiful. But it's what it is, is an ounce
- 38:59of silver. You spin the globe.
- 39:02I got a globe. My I'll spin it. close your eyes
- 39:05and stick your finger on it. No matter where you land in the
- 39:08world, this is valuable and it has been for like pretty much
- 39:12all time. So in an effort to demonstrate
- 39:15that and to build a little community here in the basement,
- 39:19what I'd like you to request is leave a comment with where
- 39:22you're joining us from. Hold on here and I'll do my best
- 39:25to read them off. I won't be able to do them all.
