Transcript
- 0:00All the reasons we have to be optimistic about the silver and
- 0:04gold price, and there are a lot of them, a silver shortage, a
- 0:09silver squeeze. At minimum.
- 0:11We're going to talk about silver stress in the markets, the
- 0:15COMEX, the Chinese markets, what's happening on a worldwide
- 0:19basis. We're also going to hear from
- 0:21some of the gurus who point out some very big important reasons
- 0:26why we can be super optimistic about the future of silver.
- 0:29I don't know. So when when you think out two
- 0:32to three years, five years, 10 years, and you think about
- 0:35silver and gold, for that matter, the granddaddy of the
- 0:38precious metals, don't you feel good?
- 0:41Maybe about as good as I feel right now about you joining me
- 0:44down here in the basement. I'm telling you, it's absolutely
- 0:48true. I have a confession to make.
- 0:49It's a cold, dark, dank basement until you show up.

- 0:56that subscribe button. Leave a comment in the comment
- 0:59section. You got a good head on your
- 1:01shoulders. Trust me, the people that watch
- 1:03my videos, according to all the scientific data from Google,
- 1:07right, you've got a little higher intellectual horsepower
- 1:10than the average bear super chats, all that stuff.
- 1:13Never expected, always appreciated.
- 1:15And without further ado, let's dive into what's going on.
- 1:18Let's talk about a silver shortage.
- 1:21Oh my gosh, we're going to go first out to our friend at
- 1:25silver trade who tells us the Comex silver freefall is
- 1:31continuing. Another 3,000,000 oz removed
- 1:35from the COMEX Silver vaults on Tuesday.
- 1:39And look at all these people who withdrew Asahi, Branks, Branks,
- 1:43CNT, that's a big company. By the way, IDSDIDSD Malka Amit
- 1:50registered OK, and another 883 thousandths withdrawn from by
- 1:56MTB in Gray. The big important number, the
- 1:59total comex registered silver. That's the important number
- 2:05because that's the silver that can actually be used to satisfy,
- 2:10excuse me, the futures contracts.
- 2:12It is now down to 87,000,000 oz. So we've got stress there.
- 2:19But wait, there's more because Doctor Don Woods.
- 2:23Oh, this is one of the gurus, this guy.
- 2:26Oh, shoot, hold on a second here.
- 2:27Having some tech issues this guy doctor doctor, Oh, a doctor
- 2:32doctor Don Woods, super respected big investor in the
- 2:36silver world. I read that he had like a lot a
- 2:39lot of money in Hecla mining, which is the United States of
- 2:42America, our oldest and largest silver mining company.
- 2:46But anyway, he put out this like this, this post that was what's
- 2:51that word viral the other day about what was going on in the
- 2:55silver market when we were getting smashed down and who was
- 2:58the big banks and why they were smashing it down, but that they
- 3:01were really taking delivery and look at this.
- 3:04This is fascinating what he came up with just yesterday.
- 3:09Here we go. He said a person asked rock.
- 3:13That's the ex Twitter AI thing. To summarize my post about the
- 3:18CME clearing daily delivery notices.
- 3:22This is what Grok said. Grok said in orange.
- 3:25The big banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America are taking
- 3:30delivery of massive amounts of physical silver real bars from
- 3:36the futures contracts. Hundreds of millions worth at
- 3:40about $83 per oz. Which is why he was speculating
- 3:45they drove the price down. They often short the paper
- 3:49silver price with Futures Trading to push it down
- 3:53temporarily so they can buy the real metal cheaper.
- 3:57Then they hoard it betting that prices will rise big later.
- 4:02Classic big player move. So guys, look, you know it's
- 4:07been proven over decades and decades.
- 4:10People have spent their entire careers countless hours proving
- 4:14the fact that the Comex and the LBMA let's say, occasionally
- 4:19placed some unfair influence on the silver and gold price, but
- 4:24especially silver. And Doctor Don Woods, his
- 4:27original post got like 10's and 10s of thousands of views was
- 4:31pointing out what was going on. Now, of course, we know there's
- 4:34speculation that this big financial company in New York,
- 4:38Jane St. might also be exerting some unfair influence.
- 4:43They've gotten some accusations levied against them from like
- 4:47the India from indias Stock Exchange, their big bank index.
- 4:52People in the crypto world have accused them of possibly
- 4:56manipulating the Bitcoin price and of course with what is a
- 4:59Terraform Labs in that big massive the collapse that there
- 5:04was they there. There's actually a lawsuit from
- 5:07the bankruptcy attorneys claiming that Jane Street may
- 5:11have engaged in some insider trading.
- 5:14And we know that Jane St. also now has like the biggest
- 5:19position as of the most recent filings of anybody in the
- 5:23SLVETF, which alone people are suspicious of that's from
- 5:29BlackRock. I mean, is the silver world, is
- 5:32it just crazy or what? I mean, how can there not be
- 5:37manipulation in the price? And at the end of the day, we're
- 5:41going to wrap it up with this on this subject.
- 5:43We got a lot more to cover at the end of the day, right?
- 5:46Mother Nature always wins, right?
- 5:48Mathematics shows no forgiveness on the altar of truth.
- 5:52You can move things around, do whatever shell games however you
- 5:56want to say. But the end of the day, guys,
- 5:57the reality comes true. And we're going to have that
- 5:59reality in the silver and gold markets.
- 6:02We're going to go to China next. Before we do that, let's say
- 6:05thank you for real silver. Oh my gosh, imagine that real,
- 6:09actual silver like this. There he is, my favorite.
- 6:13He wants to say hello. The backside of the Buffalo
- 6:17round. This is real silver from a real
- 6:20silver mint in the United States of America in Las Vegas, NV
- 6:25channel sponsor First Mint and they've got a lot more products.
- 6:28Other silver rounds, silver bars, all types of things.
- 6:33What's interesting about First Mint is number one, they are a
- 6:36silver specialist mint. That's all they do is silver and
- 6:40they do it right. And they actually get their
- 6:43silver directly from the ground because they're owned by First
- 6:46Majestic Silver, the Keith Newmeyer's juggernaut silver
- 6:50mining company. So the silver goes from the mine
- 6:53to the mint directly to you. And people love First Mint.
- 6:58I cannot. I had no, it's been about a year
- 7:01that they sponsored my channel. I, I, I've been overwhelmed with
- 7:05positive feedback from you, the basement dweller community, and
- 7:08I'm so grateful to you for giving that feedback.
- 7:11And the first meant for providing such first Class A
- 7:14real premium retail experience. They do have a discount code
- 7:18VIPRB. And I'm going to tell you about
- 7:20this in a second too, guys. My new favorite lotion.
- 7:25We'll get to that in a little bit, but let's go to China and
- 7:27see what's happening in China. We know what's going on at the
- 7:30Comex with the stress. We're not going to call it a
- 7:34squeeze. We don't want it to be a
- 7:35squeeze. That's the secret.
- 7:38OK, we do want a silver squeeze, but we don't want it right now.
- 7:42We want the squeeze to happen when silver's already at 120, a
- 7:46$140 per oz. But there's definitely stress in
- 7:50the market, and that's also being manifested in our friends
- 7:54in China. Let's go see what's happening in
- 7:57China with their silver situation and we get this from
- 8:04the gold silver HQ, another whopping not just anything
- 8:12whopping 7.5% of silver is out of the vault in China in one day
- 8:19empty vault in two weeks at this pace.
- 8:23OK. And he shared the post from our
- 8:25good friend, and I'm going to explain this to you right now,
- 8:27the Oriental Ghost. Again, guys, for those of you
- 8:30who are new, this is the Shanghai Gold Exchange and the
- 8:34Shanghai Futures Exchange. These are the Chinese metal
- 8:38markets. Well, there's one little
- 8:40difference that we need to point out, and that is that the
- 8:41Shanghai Gold Exchange basically requires traders to have the
- 8:45physical metal before they trade it.
- 8:48It's their spot market. You must have though, like 99%
- 8:52of the trades, from what I understand, are backed up by
- 8:55physical metal. That's a little different than
- 8:58the COMEX in the LBMA, the London Bullion Market
- 9:01Association, who we've been leaving alone lately.
- 9:04Anyway, as you can see, last night the silver price closed at
- 9:09$95 per oz. The spot price in China on the
- 9:13Shanghai Gold Exchange and the futures price on the futures
- 9:18futures exchange, which all underlined there for you, closed
- 9:21at 97. That's not why we're here.
- 9:24Hold on, we are here. Let's get rid of everything for
- 9:28this. Wow, 22 kilograms dropped.
- 9:33OK, the total inventory that they have right now in the
- 9:38Shanghai Futures Exchange of silver, OK, silver vaults, is
- 9:44272,000 kilograms. Just so you know, there's about
- 9:4932 Troy oz per kilogram. If you multiply 272,000kg * 32
- 9:56Troy oz, you come to 8.7 million ounces of silver.
- 10:03This is a critical situation, right?
- 10:06I mean, guys, the entire Shanghai Futures Exchange silver
- 10:11Vault has 9 million oz. I mean, heck, at the COMEX, they
- 10:15trade that in like 1 minute when they want to smash the price
- 10:18down. That's hardly any silver.
- 10:21So not only do we have big issues at the COMEX when it
- 10:25comes to a silver, what's the word stress?
- 10:28I'm gonna, I don't want to over, I don't want to over dramatize
- 10:31things. Silver stress.
- 10:32But we also have issues at the LBMA.
- 10:35And I would say I don't know how you feel about it.
- 10:38We got big issues at the Shanghai Futures Exchange as
- 10:43well. We're going to talk about the US
- 10:44military next. Hey, you know what?
- 10:46I'm not a lotion guy and I'm not being paid to say this, but this
- 10:50company, Sugar Mountain Trading Company, sent me a box, OK, with
- 10:55a bunch of they're like a high end handcrafted soap company in
- 10:59Kentucky with some lotions and some different soaps and all
- 11:03kinds of stuff. And it's all awesome.
- 11:05But I'm, I'm going to tell you this is called their cherry
- 11:08almond lotion. And I just absolute can you see
- 11:11that? See that I want that focus.
- 11:13Well, anyway, there it is, Cherry, cherry almond lotion and
- 11:19I think I'm addicted to this stuff.
- 11:20I actually put it in the powder room upstairs and earlier today
- 11:23I was like, you know what, I'm taking that stuff to the
- 11:26basement. You can check them out here.
- 11:28Let me show you their website real quick.
- 11:30Great people, wonderful, wonderful, nice people.
- 11:34And uh oh, hold on here, hold on.
- 11:37There we go. Here it is.
- 11:38Sugar Mountain Trading Company. They're in Kentucky.
- 11:40They're handmade soap. They make like, you know, this
- 11:42high end different soap. There's cherry almond soap.
- 11:45What do you know, but I love that cherry almond lotion.
- 11:49They've also got this product called Hillbilly Booty Wash,
- 11:52which I got to be honest, I've been using it in the shower.
- 11:58It's liquid soap. They have liquid soap, bar soap,
- 12:01lotions, all kinds of stuff. I'll tell you more about the
- 12:03Hillbilly Booty Wash at a different at a later date.
- 12:06But thank you for sending those products.
- 12:07I've been enjoying them. So it's the whole family, the US
- 12:10military. What?
- 12:12What have they done? Hold on here.
- 12:14Let's get off the hillbilly booty wash.
- 12:16Here we go. Breaking news.
- 12:20What does this tell us about precious metals?
- 12:22What does this tell us about natural resources?
- 12:25Because what we heard was that the US military asked mining
- 12:29companies on Friday to help boost domestic supplies of 13
- 12:34critical minerals used to make semiconductors, weapons and
- 12:39other products. That was the US military.
- 12:42The scramble for minerals is in full force.
- 12:45And then I was like, well, yeah, right.
- 12:47Where's this from? This is the source of this
- 12:50article is from Reuters. If I click on this, it pulls it
- 12:54up very quickly. But then we hit a paywall.
- 12:57So yeah, the Pentagon apparently, no, I don't want to
- 13:00subscribe and it won't let me go anyway.
- 13:02The Pentagon was after the US mining sector to provide more
- 13:07critical minerals. Now, I don't know if silver was
- 13:10specifically included in that list, but we knew.
- 13:13We do know that silver is now included from the US Geological
- 13:18Association on the list of critical minerals for the United
- 13:21States. And you know, and I know all the
- 13:24reasons why. Let's go back to China, man,
- 13:27guys. And this is about gold.
- 13:28But when we talk about gold, this relates directly to silver
- 13:32as well and demonstrates to us that we are in nothing short of
- 13:35a new paradigm right now, in my opinion, for precious metals.
- 13:40Because get a load of this out of China.
- 13:44Oh wrong 1 hold on here. Here we go.
- 13:50We get this from make Gold great again.
- 13:52Breaking, breaking, more breaking news. 2 of China's 4/2
- 13:58of the four biggest banks just sold out of an investment grade
- 14:03gold bars. One of them, ICBC is the largest
- 14:08bank in the world by assets. And who does this come from?
- 14:13But no one other than our friend the Oriental Ghost, he said.
- 14:16Justin investment gold bars on the apps of the Industrial
- 14:19Commercial Bank of China, which is I guess the biggest bank in
- 14:23the world, and the Agricultural Bank of China, ABC are sold out.
- 14:28The Bank Communications app also does not sell investment gold
- 14:32bars, ICBC and ABC we almost covered like a third of the
- 14:38alphabet. There are the one are the one of
- 14:41the four largest banks in the world.
- 14:43So those are two out of the four largest banks in the world that
- 14:47are telling us that uh oh, sorry guys, the streaming software is
- 14:52acting up today. Hopefully you're still there.
- 14:55Hopefully you can see me and hear me it's I love it when you
- 14:58come join me in the basement. I'm the luckiest guy in the
- 15:00world. Thank you for being here.
- 15:02Don't forget to subscribe now. Let's move on.
- 15:05Let's talk about Felix. This is big because what's
- 15:08happening right now in the world of precious metals is that look,
- 15:12you and me in the in the core group, you're part of the core
- 15:16and I think we can all even the new people are part of the core
- 15:19group. We were were the Trail Blazers,
- 15:21we were the the diehards that went through the valley of
- 15:25despair in the world of precious metals.
- 15:27But now this whole new layer of people are waking up and
- 15:32influential people. One of which I'm going to
- 15:36mention now is a guy named Felix.
- 15:38And he had some stuff to say about silver in particular.
- 15:41If you don't feel warm and fuzzy about silver after you hear
- 15:45this, well, then maybe, I don't know, maybe you want to invest
- 15:48in, I'm not sure, whatever Apple computer stock.
- 15:53Let's go out and see what Felix has to say.
- 15:57Here is Felix. This hit me.
- 16:03This hit me hard. 70% of the world silver is found by
- 16:08accident. Nobody is mining it on purpose.
- 16:13It's a leftover from digging up copper and zinc just comes out
- 16:18of the ground and along for the ride.
- 16:20OK, The same material that's in every phone, which he's talking
- 16:25about silver, every electric vehicle and there will be much
- 16:28more. Every solar panel in every
- 16:31missile on earth. I'm going to I'm going to move
- 16:34on quickly, but I want to emphasize that, guys, 70% of the
- 16:38world's silver is mined as a by product or is he said by
- 16:42accident. OK All right.
- 16:45So when when people talk about a silver shortage, it's not like
- 16:49there's a bunch of silver mines out there that can turn a dial
- 16:52and start making more silver. He says they continue even if
- 16:57silver prices triple tomorrow. You can't increase the supply.
- 17:01Ramping up silver means flooding the market with millions of tons
- 17:05of unwanted copper in lead. The economics break in.
- 17:09Building a new dedicated mine takes 8 to 12 years from
- 17:14discovery to production. Remember Phillips Baker, the ex
- 17:18CEO of Hecla Mining, America's oldest and biggest silver mining
- 17:21company, said that there's basically no chance that more
- 17:25silver can come from the mining sector.
- 17:27Until the year 2030, the world consumed 800 million more oz
- 17:36than it produced over the last six years.
- 17:38I know we've heard that about 800 million times.
- 17:41Industrial buyers who used to keep three to four months of
- 17:45inventory are down to about a month now. 47 million oz were
- 17:50claimed for physical delivery from the Crime X in four trading
- 17:55days recently. That's 60% of available
- 17:58inventory in four days. Then then China in red
- 18:04classified silver as a strategic material and restricted exports.
- 18:11They refined 60 to 70%. That's a common theme. 70
- 18:15percent, 70% of the world silver is mined on accident and 70% of
- 18:20the world silver is refined in China.
- 18:24And China is saying no, no, no, no silver leaves China anymore.
- 18:29OK, the export restrictions, 1 country, 2/3 of the world's
- 18:34refining just decided to keep it in green.
- 18:37Supply can't respond. Demand is accelerating,
- 18:40stockpiles are collapsing. Remember, we talked about that
- 18:44all the time. There's like the silver rainy
- 18:47day fund. There's only so much silver
- 18:50above ground. And I think it's like like the
- 18:54equivalent of the size of like half the White House or
- 18:57something. I don't know.
- 18:59You know, those pictures, those graphics people put out.
- 19:01But it's not a lot in every year like Felix just said, right?
- 19:06For the last six years straight, we've had people borrowing from
- 19:09that silver raining day day fund.
- 19:11It will. Stockpiles are collapsing and
- 19:13the biggest supplier just cut off exports.
- 19:16He says. I watched the COMEX delivery
- 19:18data in vault draw downs on trade vision.
- 19:21When 60% of available inventory gets claimed in four trading
- 19:24days, the supply math has an expiration.
- 19:29Yeah, this can't go on forever. It's interesting times.
- 19:34OK, thank you to our good friend Felix.
- 19:38And on top of that guys, there's even more good news about the
- 19:42precious metals. We're going to get to that next
- 19:44after I say thank you to channel sponsor First Mining Gold.
- 19:49There are gold development stage company in Canada.
- 19:52They have two huge multi million ounce development stage
- 19:56projects, spring poll in Ontario and Duparquet in Quebec.
- 20:01They also have a third project and some other interest in other
- 20:04projects. But they also have a third
- 20:05project called Cameron, which also has around 1,000,000 ounces
- 20:08of gold in the ground. You aren't going to find many
- 20:12companies with massive development stage gold projects
- 20:17in good jurisdictions like Canada.
- 20:20You can learn more about the company at firstmininggold.com.
- 20:24Please remember that no matter what I talk about the price of
- 20:26gold, the price of silver. Relationships, good smelling
- 20:30lotions, whatever it is. I'm not a financial advisor, I'm
- 20:34not a relationship advisor, I'm not any of that.
- 20:37Always do your own research on any decisions, decisions you
- 20:41make, financial or otherwise. OK, let's move on to OK.
- 20:46This is why we can feel even better about what's happening in
- 20:51the metals right now. And then we got the big big
- 20:54kahuna. OK Tavi Costa Geopolitical risk
- 20:58accelerate. Central banks accumulate gold
- 21:01sovereigns and yes, sovereigns building strategic resource
- 21:06reserves. No, no major new metal
- 21:09discoveries being made, no large scale producing projects coming
- 21:13online, countries forced to cut rates to sustain their debt.
- 21:18None of us own enough metals and miners in this chart guys is the
- 21:23is the absolute proof of what's happening happening right now in
- 21:27the world. This also applies to silver.
- 21:31This also applies to copper as well.
- 21:34There's no new big discoveries being made worldwide.
- 21:38This chart is specific to gold, but look at this.
- 21:41OK, please 2003, 2024, zero major discoveries made.
- 21:48This is the future supply of gold.
- 21:52Look back here all the way back, right?
- 21:55If you go all the way back to what, 2012?
- 22:00That's what is my math, right? Can I figure that out?
- 22:03Hold on, help me. How many years would that be?
- 22:05That would be 14 years. We've had minuscule levels of
- 22:10new major gold discoveries made. The important thing to remember
- 22:13here, this represents the future supply of gold.
- 22:18And the same thing can be made, can be said about silver.
- 22:22When we look back here, look 28. I mean, what year was that?
- 22:26That was a bonanza, year 1995. But now, woo, down, down, down
- 22:31she goes. There are fewer discoveries
- 22:34being made. And the reason why.
- 22:36And let's talk about silver for a second.
- 22:38Think about it. Think about the silver price
- 22:41over the last 10 years, 20 years, 3040, all the way back to
- 22:45maybe 1971, OK. The price of the metal has been
- 22:49artificially suppressed lower. There's that memo that came out
- 22:55in 1974 when they were setting up the futures markets where
- 22:58they said, Oh yeah, the futures markets will be great because we
- 23:01can induce volatility into the precious metals prices.
- 23:04And that will discourage everyday normal people, right,
- 23:08That don't that don't want to dig in and really learn about
- 23:11what's going on. It will discourage the general
- 23:13public from owning precious metals.
- 23:16Anyway, I digress. With silver over the last, let's
- 23:20just say 25 years, if you believe, which is my belief, you
- 23:25can believe whatever you want, that the silver price was kept
- 23:27artificial. There was no major financial
- 23:31incentive for anyone to really discover, explore, look for new
- 23:37silver deposits. There were very few people doing
- 23:41it. I think of like Galen McNamara,
- 23:43a number of you know, the the Keith Neumeyer, right?
- 23:48I mean, like very few like people that were that were had
- 23:51great foresight, OK? And people like us that were
- 23:55very involved in the silver community, but nobody else
- 23:57cared. So the point is that that's the
- 24:00future supply of silver or any of these metals and it's just
- 24:04just just not there. OK.
- 24:06All right, guys, thank you for joining me today down here in
- 24:09the basement. OK.
- 24:10We got a lot to look forward to with these metals.
- 24:13The supply, right? Is it minimum under stress?
- 24:17Whether we look at the comments, the LBMA or we go over to China,
- 24:20No matter how we slice it or dice it, we are in good shape.
- 24:24As we move forward and more and more people are waking up to
- 24:29what's going on, no matter what ratios we look at, OK, whether
- 24:34you look at the number of the percentage of people that own
- 24:37the metal, how the mining stocks compared to the overall market,
- 24:41there's good things heading our way.
- 24:44I want to, I want to say thank you for joining.
- 24:46Please subscribe to the channel. I want you to come back.
- 24:48I hope you enjoyed your time down here in the basement.
- 24:51It's a big deal. Your time is valuable.
- 24:54Take care and I'll see you and yes, I see you.
