- 0:00The banking system is going extinct. To say what is Nobody wants to say
- 0:03that it's going away. And that's why I told my members we're not touching.
- 0:06We're not touching these banks. I want nothing to do with them.
- 0:10The pattern is so bad, it's so broken. There is no reason to
- 0:14get involved in these names. We have no edge over that market right now.
- 0:18And I know some people on TV they're saying, hey, you got
- 0:20the banking system is going extinct like the way of the fake dinosaurs. You're

- 0:53Welcome. This is Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Carrie lets We
- 0:57got Nick Santiago with us today. Nick. Hey, well, first we'll
- 1:02do our daily market to wrap up it's actually three times per week, but
- 1:07and then we'll get into more of the macro type view of the world,
- 1:14the economy, etc. So first off, the markets looking choppy, today.
- 1:19Yeah, the markets are very choppy today, and in fact, they've
- 1:23been choppy for you can make a case for the last six weeks. You
- 1:26know, we go up for a couple of days, we go down for
- 1:29a little bit. But one thing I've noticed carry and that's this is something
- 1:32that should be very important to the listeners, is that the volume trends have
- 1:36been extremely light since late March, and that's what's helped keep these markets buoyant.
- 1:41A lot of people think when markets go up on light volume that that
- 1:45is just the retail investor or the retail trader pushing it up. But it's
- 1:49not. It's the institutional trader pushing the market up and keeping it up.
- 1:53And when you get selling pressure and you get high volumes, say one hundred
- 1:57million shares of more in the spiders, that's telling you this real, real
- 2:00institutional sell side pressure on the market. If you don't get that, just
- 2:06to expect the markets to remain buoyant. And you know, I try to
- 2:09explain that a lot of times to my listeners in there almost like program to
- 2:14think that, oh, it's just a retail trader pushing the markets up.
- 2:17It's never the retail trader that ever moves markets. You can go back to
- 2:23the mean stocks and know those Reddit boards, that's still institutional traders. So
- 2:28just remember, light volume keeps a buoyant upside market. Heavy volume almost every
- 2:32time except at a major low, you're going to see downside action. Yeah,
- 2:38yeah, yeah, we've seen that over and over past years that we've
- 2:40been doing the show. Exactly what you're describing. And light volume is easier
- 2:46to manipulate the market up or down for that matter, absolutely, and it
- 2:50just there's no selling pressure, so you only have to have, you know,
- 2:53a small buy program of SMP futures contracts to move the market anyway you
- 2:59want. And now they got this ODT which expires the same day, same
- 3:04day vix. I mean, there's just so much manipulation going on are intra
- 3:07day it's rather remarkable. I can't tell you how many times I see the
- 3:13markets have a hard sell off and then by twelve twelve o'clock in the afternoon,
- 3:16one o'clock in the afternoon, they just flow right back up to the
- 3:20high. It's like nothing ever happened. And that's why I always tell you
- 3:23it's not how they opened, it's how they close. And that's what you
- 3:25have to watch for right. Hey, so Twitter, Elon has hired a
- 3:30new CEO for Twitter, and she looks to be a well I don't know
- 3:37what she is, but she's the former head of NBC Universal. So what's
- 3:43this about. Well, I've been getting videos sent by her all day long,
- 3:47actually started last night, and I must have watched ten of them.
- 3:52So you know, she was one of those people mask up and ship out
- 3:55and all of this stuff. So I think Twitter's on even going to revert
- 4:00back to the way it was. Elon came in, you got everybody excited
- 4:04thinking it's going to be a free speech platform. I'm not so sure that
- 4:09I wouldn't wouldn't buy into that one. We'll see how she is when she
- 4:13gets on board, but I have to think she's a lefty all the way
- 4:16through and through. And you know, again, all you want is just
- 4:19somebody to be fair. I mean that's all people want. They just want,
- 4:23you know, somewhere where they can share and expressed vevues without being shadow
- 4:27banned or without being blocked or you know. But again, you know,
- 4:31all of these platforms have an agenda. If you ask me, yeah,
- 4:34no doubt. Well hopefully it won't go back to the way it was because
- 4:40whatever you say about Musk is opening the platform up has led to higher and
- 4:45higher viewership and more importantly, people spending more time on the site. And
- 4:50if they switch, if they keep it open and they switch and start doing
- 4:55videos and video advertising, they will crush all the pettitors just by being a
- 5:00free and open platform. So hopefully they won't revert. But I'm not convinced
- 5:05the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, as they say. So,
- 5:11energy today is looking better. Huh, Yeah, Energy's firmed up today.
- 5:15I mean, we have some news out there, I think by the
- 5:17Department of Energy. They basically came out and said they're gonna fill up the
- 5:20Strategic Petroleum Reserve in June. Now, why haven't they done that already when
- 5:26the price has gone you know, even we went to sub seventy recently is
- 5:30beyond me. But you know, that's giving energy a little bit of a
- 5:34bump. I don't know if that news is going to be long lasting.
- 5:39I still think oil is in a very very tough position here. If it
- 5:43loses the recent pivot low from this month, the oil is going to go
- 5:46down to fifty dollars now. When it gets down to fifty though, if
- 5:49it should or should it get there, that's going to be a monster buying
- 5:54opportunity. We'll see who is willing to step up when that happens. All
- 5:58right, And goal, the goal dipped yesterday and today, what's going on
- 6:01with it? Yeah, gold kind of is flat right now, but he
- 6:05had a little bit of a sell off. The bigger story though, was
- 6:09silver. Silver really got hit hard yesterday, that had a big, big
- 6:12decline and today silver is on the weaker side as we speak right now,
- 6:15So that's something I would have to watch for. But I'm open for silver
- 6:20two fold back. As you know, I'm looking to get back into silver
- 6:24soon and I'm welcoming this fall in the commodity. What do you think at
- 6:30entry point? What is the entry point you're looking for for silver? Rein
- 6:34Well, I'm thinking if if it can. I forget the key levels I
- 6:39had, um, I don't have them in front of me, But what
- 6:41I would say is if we could get down into that twenty dollar area,
- 6:46I really think that's probably a starting entry point for a long pole. And
- 6:50when I mean a long fall, I'm ultimately looking for silver to go into
- 6:54the to the load of mid thirties. Okay, and yeah, well you
- 6:58called the load to vantine and you know you haven't backed off up to this
- 7:03point. You've been very bullish on it. You think there's a consolidation here
- 7:09or something. Yeah. So I think the latest run up that we had
- 7:13in silver and in gold was really on the back of fear was it was
- 7:15really on the back of the central bankers, you know, making a bad
- 7:20blunder with the inverted yield curve and all these banks, you know, original
- 7:24banks are in trouble and they still are. Nothing has changed there. So
- 7:28I think now you're starting to see because the markets have held up so much,
- 7:31everybody's thinking the Fed he's done. You know, the Fed fundrated way
- 7:35above the two year Treasury note yield. So I think gold and silver just
- 7:39ran up on the fact that, hey, there's uncertainty out here, I'm
- 7:43going to own precious metals. But that is telling you what's going to go
- 7:46on in the future. What's going to go on in the next couple of
- 7:48years. Everybody's going to run to a hard asset. They're not going to
- 7:51look to be in X y Z. They're gonna say Hey, I want
- 7:56to be in gold. I want to be in silver. I want to
- 7:58be in oil, I want to be in neck gass, I want to
- 8:01be in weak. I want to be something that I can take possession of.
- 8:05And now we're not going to totally take possession of it, but that's
- 8:07what things that people are gonna need, and that's where you're going to see
- 8:11going forward. That's going to be the theme. I think we're in the
- 8:15infancy of that of those moves, and you're going to get a giant commodity
- 8:20breakout. That's what will take place, and where we're already up on the
- 8:24cusp of that happening. Now. Okay, So and one other thing,
- 8:28Bitcoin back under twenty seven thousand. Is this the beginning of the end for
- 8:37bitcoin? It could be. It could be, But I had bitcoin making
- 8:41one more surge, making a nominal high, and I think that's it.
- 8:45So either way, there's still that chance of one more pushing bitcoin. But
- 8:50it's already starting to look top heavy here, so I would be very very
- 8:52cautious with it. But if you get one more pop, one more maybe
- 8:56just a nominal new eye. I don't have the exact number was in front
- 9:00of me, but that that would be it for Bitcoin. If it could
- 9:03even do that, I'm not sure it's even gonna happen. Okay, I'm
- 9:07with you on that, just seeing it very looking, very weak, and
- 9:13without a doubt this the last few weeks, we've seen so much chop,
- 9:16so much volatility. You know, you're seeing that the rally that's taking place
- 9:22for the last couple of months is in jeopardy, and that that is certainly,
- 9:28you know, but a lot of times what these markets do, and
- 9:30not just Bitcoin, it's any market for that matter, they'll have that period
- 9:33and then they'll get one more move back up and they'll get everybody on board,
- 9:37and that's when they pull the rug out. So I would watch for
- 9:41that pattern, and that's what I've told my members. You know, we're
- 9:43looking for that. Okay, I think that's reasonable, all right, So
- 9:48let's get into a more global macro perspective. First, the banking crisis,
- 9:54which has really been sucking up all the oxygen in in the news cycle for
- 10:01weeks now. I think we're onto like six weeks. This thing's been going
- 10:05on with no let up in sight. Where does it end? How does
- 10:09it end? Well, it's not going to end pretty because you've already had
- 10:13three major bank failures. You know, a lot of people are saying this
- 10:18is like the savings and loan crisis, but I think it's a little bit
- 10:20more severe, and I would be very very careful here with these financials.
- 10:26Now. We know that there was a discount window opened up by the Federal
- 10:30Reserve allowing these banks to say, very very liquid. But we're seeing so
- 10:35much money now going into money markets right everybody's you know, running in there
- 10:39to get some yield. This is just not healthy. The inverted yield curve
- 10:46is still in place between twos and tens, so yes, yields have gone
- 10:50down. Maybe the spread is tightened between twos and tens, but it's still
- 10:54there. It's been there for over a year. So you know this,
- 10:56this is a big problem. This is not going to end any time soon.
- 11:00I would avoid all financials. I am not touching them. I have
- 11:03told my group already we have no edge in the financial game, because what
- 11:07happens is if there's really a calamity here, you're gonna see the central banks.
- 11:11What are they gonna do a QE. They're gonna cut rates. That's
- 11:16gonna cause a rally. In fact, you could make a case that since
- 11:18March thirteenth, the markets have gone up on the expectations that the FETE is
- 11:24gonna cut. So again the central bankers have their nose in the event,
- 11:28in the business. And you know, honestly, these banks are not looking
- 11:31great. And you've seen a ton of money flood over to JP Morgan.
- 11:37But when I look at a chart of Bank of America, where a chart
- 11:41of city group, where Wells Fargo, those three don't look that good.
- 11:45JP Morgan seems to be the only one holding up. So there's more of
- 11:50a problem than is meeting the eye. I'm not a good person to tell
- 11:54you the catalyst. I'm never good at that. I could just tell you
- 11:58what the charts are saying, and they're not saying anything good right now,
- 12:01right And there was a report I think I saw two days ago and then
- 12:05it like disappeared off the screens that deposits in the major banks were down half
- 12:13a billion, half a trillion dollars, that's five hundred billion. That's not
- 12:18a good indicator that ball as well with the banking system. No, no,
- 12:22it's not good. And you know, after we saw what happened when
- 12:26First Republic get bought out for nothing, right, it was just basically taken
- 12:31over by JP Morgan. Now we got pack West. Now you have Western
- 12:35Lines, you have so many others. It's like a domino table, right,
- 12:39one's going you know, one goes down, the rust go down.
- 12:43We have four thousand regional banks, I think we used to have a ton
- 12:46more, and you know, by the time this is over, we'll probably
- 12:50have two thousand. Who knows you think? Is this setting the table for
- 12:54the central bank digital currency? Is that what this is all about? Oh?
- 13:00Absolutely? I mean ye had Christine Lagarde get pranked by somebody that acted
- 13:03like voldemire Z Lensky. I didn't know if it was true or not.
- 13:07And apparently it's true. And she's already talking about a digital euro coming out
- 13:13in October that's going to have spending limits on it. Then in July we
- 13:18have fed Now. So if you look at the fed now program, I
- 13:22mean thousands of companies have already signed up to that. That's basically eliminating all
- 13:26banks, right because you could just have a money transfer immediately, you don't
- 13:31have to do any clearing, any anything like that. It's just going to
- 13:35be instantaneous transactions, much like it is on the blockchain. So this is
- 13:41all set in the stage up for central bank digital currency. I don't think
- 13:43the US is going to roll that out immediately, but with FED now they'll
- 13:48get more and more companies involved, and then then then they'll start with the
- 13:52saving of me. See, so if there's no banking sector. Now,
- 13:56going back to the beginnings of capitalism and America, the purpose of the banking
- 14:01sector was to allocate capital. You would deposit your money in there to keep
- 14:05it safe, to earn a return, and they would find worthy borrowers and
- 14:11basically make loans. Now that's all changed. They don't even make any money
- 14:16off of that stuff anymore. They make more money on fees like bounce check
- 14:20fees, which some of them are creditive now because there is no reason for
- 14:24a bank check a bounce check fee, because when your check bounces, it's
- 14:28all digital anyway. It doesn't cost him anything. You know. That used
- 14:33to be like the clerk had to stamp it and then they had to mill
- 14:35it back to you or call you on the phone to make good. None
- 14:39of that happens anymore. So it's a really they don't allocate capital anymore.
- 14:46So there's the Central Bank just going to make loans, direct loans to borrowers.
- 14:52Is that how they're going to make mortgages. I mean they're doing it
- 14:54now. All real estate mortgages, as a practical matter, except for huge
- 15:00bumbos, are guaranteed by the government. Effectively, they're making government loans,
- 15:05right, And essentially the banking system is going extinct. Just say what is?
- 15:11Nobody wants to say that it's going away. And that's why I told
- 15:13my members we're not touching. We're not touching these banks. I want nothing
- 15:18to do with them. The pattern is so bad, it's so broken.
- 15:22There is no reason to get involved in these names. We have no edge
- 15:26over that market right now. And I know some people on TV and you're
- 15:28saying, hey, you got the banking system is going extinct like the way
- 15:35of the fake dinosaurs. Yeah. Hey, So you know, I was
- 15:39talking with my friend John Rabino about this, and you know, he was
- 15:43dollar collapse. He's really knowledgeable. I'm saying, well, maybe we'll go
- 15:46back to the days so the FED to get you to buy in to the
- 15:50CBDC, they'll start giving out toasters and coffee makers so open account at the
- 16:00CVDC account window at the FED and get a free flat screen TV. Right,
- 16:07yeah, yeah, that's you know, I remember those days. They
- 16:08weren't that long ago. I know, I remember people and young people don't
- 16:15know those days. They don't remember those days. Yeah, I remember,
- 16:18like I got all this money from on bar mitzvah, and we opened like
- 16:21ten different accounts and ten different banks. I had like radios, and there
- 16:26were such things your own crazy eddie. You could start your own little client
- 16:32store. Hey, if we only had eBay then I could have sold it.
- 16:34But I mean it's absurd. But you know they're gonna incentivize you.
- 16:40Maybe it'll be a gift card to best Buy or a card accredited a whole
- 16:48Soon. If you wanted to get a vaccine, they gave you a free
- 16:51Crispy Creme donut, or in New York they gave you a French fries.
- 16:53Right, I mean, yeah, well that's worth it. So you know
- 16:57they'll be giving up McDonald's a big acts. They have to do something right.
- 17:03They have to make people want to do this. They always have a
- 17:07way though. Um listen, they're twenty steps ahead of everybody else, you
- 17:12know, I can't think that people act like the Federal Reserve is stupid.
- 17:17These guys have MBA's, PhDs, mathematicians, statisticians, you name it.
- 17:23They got everybody at their disposal there. How could they miss this? Just
- 17:27like transitory inflashing, they possibly miss that. Yeah, well yeah, I
- 17:33always say the best things in life are transitory. But but you know,
- 17:38like, yeah, they've got and they've got the direct data feeds from everything.
- 17:42Believe me, you don't think in every at one Liberty Plaza there in
- 17:48New York, which they used to work right around the corner for it,
- 17:51they don't have a direct feed and they don't see every single unemployment claim coming
- 17:56in. Of course, they do everything, all data everything. And you
- 18:00know something, I've watched like the not just JAYE. Powell, but I've
- 18:04watched all of these FED chairmen over the years, old press conferences, and
- 18:10there have been times when the market is just plunging and then they could just
- 18:12automatically say something and turn it right back around. They flip a switch.
- 18:18Right. That's like we're calling in our trading when we call it the magic
- 18:22wand yeah, weave the magic wand without anybody knowing, and it goes right
- 18:26back up and levitates. So you know, this stuff's been going on for
- 18:30ages, but you we're at a time now where, um, if you're
- 18:34gonna tell me that they couldn't these so cold bankers out there with an inverted
- 18:41yield curve couldn't make adjustments earlier, I just don't buy it. I don't
- 18:45buy it. Maybe I'm just a skeptic. But you know, they knew
- 18:48there would be problems with their current investments because all they're doing is parking money.
- 18:53They're, like you said, they're not making money elsewhere, They're just
- 18:56parking money. So it none of it makes any sense to me. I
- 19:02don't buy into any of it. Maybe I'm just too much into skeptic.
- 19:04All right, So interest rates they're gonna well first housing stocks, and this
- 19:10is intimately tied to interest rates. They've been going higher recently, right,
- 19:15they've been on a tear on a tear. You know, I bought puts
- 19:18on Kabe Holmes, had a couple opportunities to make some money and have my
- 19:22put options. They're gonna expire worthless because they've just gone higher and higher.
- 19:26So it's on the anticipation that the feed is going to start to cut rates.
- 19:30But they can't. They really can't cut rates because we're gonna get in
- 19:34We're gonna get inflation back in droves. You've got wars going on, got
- 19:40a war going on in Sudan, nobody's even talking about. It's like a
- 19:42proxy war for Russia in the United States. Besides what's going on in Russia
- 19:48and Ukraine. Then as you get China going into Taiwan, I mean you're
- 19:51gonna get bank supply disruptions. What's gonna happen with the inflation right then we're
- 19:56gonna we're gonna soar. The Fed knows this, they're not dumb. So
- 20:00but maybe they're done raising for now with the whole under the guise of the
- 20:03banking crisis, without a doubt. And they can be done because the Fed
- 20:08funds rate is at five percent and the two year Treasury note yield is just
- 20:12under four. So you know, they as long as they're above that two
- 20:17year, that's what the market is looking at saying, hey, they could
- 20:19be, they could be done. They could cut without about a point in
- 20:22between the two year and the Fed funds rate. The Fed funds rates at
- 20:26five, you know, we don't even need a central bank. If we
- 20:29just let the Fed funds rate track the two year mind, it's natural rate,
- 20:34right, that's right, There is a natural rate of interest rate on
- 20:38money, and we don't really know what it is because the Fed manipulates it
- 20:44because it's all part of central bank central planning. They're the ultimate central planners,
- 20:48the central banks. Right, that's absolutely correct. All you have to
- 20:52do is just let that so called Fed funds rate track the two year Treasury
- 20:56note yield. Every veteran trader in the world knows that, and that's you
- 21:02know, and that's why you know, we can tell when there's liquidity in
- 21:06the system and known there's liquidity coming out of the system. Right now,
- 21:08there's still some liquidity in this system, and with this banking crisis, that's
- 21:12been the reason why we've had a rally, right yeah, because they've been
- 21:18priming the presses, pumping up money. That's it. Boo commodities, you
- 21:23mentioned that new commodity super cycle does that for everything, all commodities, for
- 21:30everything, everything, so from coffee to a corn to gold and silver platinum.
- 21:37Yeah. Yeah, they're not gonna go. They're they're not going to
- 21:40all go at the same time. They'll be different starts and fits for different
- 21:44things, because you know, money rotates, but it's they're all gonna rise,
- 21:48they're all gonna I mean, they'll probably be one or two groups that
- 21:52won't participate. But you're gonna see oil two hundred dollars a barrel. You're
- 21:56gonna see neck gass go to new all time eyes in three years. You're
- 22:00gonna see gold forget about it. Goal's going to go, you know,
- 22:03to the moon. Silver too. Silver is gonna go back and test,
- 22:07you know, the thirties, and then then it goes to its old eye
- 22:10of fifty. So you know, this is this is all in just the
- 22:15minute beginning stages here. But you could see that the accumulation, that's what
- 22:19I watch. I watch these patterns and how they accumulate, how they accumulate.
- 22:25And it's like a tea kettle. You know, you put the pot
- 22:26of tea on the stove and the stove is burning, and then all of
- 22:30a sudden that tea starts to boil and then the whistle goes off. Then
- 22:33it's too late. It jumped. It has already jumped, all right,
- 22:37but it's a little too early for that. Now, how are we going
- 22:41to know for sure what's going to be that the tip off, the indicator
- 22:47that you follow that says, hey, the commodity supercycle is back with a
- 22:52V. It's already begun, right, so you've already had the moving silver
- 22:56take off already. Gold is going to do some more starting and fitting,
- 22:59but it's it's very range bound. The low in gold will be in the
- 23:03fifteen hundreds. That's it. That's the bottom you're seeing in an oil.
- 23:07Right, oil is going to have its pull back now it gets down to
- 23:10fifty. That thing's taking off. Now, they're not just going to jump
- 23:14to these level high levels. It'll take time to work up. Nothing goes
- 23:18up in a straight line, nothing goes down in the straight line. But
- 23:21it's already begun. It's already, it's already underway. And you know,
- 23:23if you've been around this business as long as I have, you see those
- 23:26patterns, you realize that it's already started. The key is going to be
- 23:32you know, do you look for the breakouts? Are you're just willing to
- 23:33sit in it, you know, but I like to trade it. So
- 23:37for me, it's gonna be, Hey, we get a high volume breakout
- 23:41day, that's it. That's kind of a tell that it's it's on.
- 23:44You know, the move is on, and then you'll get pullbacks and you
- 23:47play those retraces and you know you continue to do that until you know twenty
- 23:52twenty eight. All right, so that gas has been in the cellar.
- 23:56I mean you look at the chart. It is like the old Tromp bear
- 24:00market chart, like eighty percent loss of value. I guess going back like
- 24:07back to well it hit when did it hit its peak? Ten bucks?
- 24:11So it hit ten bucks? Just what was that? It was not my
- 24:15sharts in front of me, but they're behind me. Yeah it wasn't that.
- 24:18We think, yeah, it wasn't that long ago. But but gad,
- 24:22I want to hear what you have to say and then I'm gonna be
- 24:23my comments on it. So, oh, that gas seems to know the
- 24:29weather before any meteorologist or climate expert has a clue. That gas goes up
- 24:37and then it's like, oh wait a second, it's a really hot summer
- 24:41or it's a really cold winter. Nat Gas anticipates, always anticipates it.
- 24:45I've been watching it for ten fifteen years, and it will know when it's
- 24:52gonna get when we're gonna have a heat wave before anybody knows. Markets know
- 24:57a lot. Markets are very very efficient. They always know something. But
- 25:03here's my theory on that gas. So we went up to ten and that
- 25:07was a monster, and press and drive higher. Now we've come back down
- 25:12to two and everybody hates it. Here, that's the funniest thing. You
- 25:18were at ten, now you're at two and everybody hates it. So when
- 25:22I see something like I'm in that gas, I own it. I'm long
- 25:26so and I'm long. I'm hoping to be long for years. I'm hoping
- 25:30to be long for years. And if I get stopped out by some chance,
- 25:33I'm just gonna re enter lower. So I'm going to keep getting back
- 25:37into nat gass. But what I would say is, right now, if
- 25:41you look at the monthly chart, you're going to notice that nat gas has
- 25:45made a fire low. So in the big big scheme of things, I
- 25:48think that the lows were already put in. You had that run up to
- 25:52ten, and now we're seeing nat gass come back down and challenge the two
- 25:56dollars level, which is what I call. First leg up to ten was
- 26:00one wave. You're getting your wave two right here. It's in the start
- 26:06of a three wave. Three wave is one of the most powerful waves in
- 26:11markets. So anybody that follows Elliott wave or any other kind of wave theory,
- 26:15the third wave. Everything comes in threes. The third wave is the
- 26:18big one, and that's going to last a long, long time. And
- 26:22I think it's in the very very beginning of that happening right now. All
- 26:29right, Well, inclined to agree with you there. And one another thing
- 26:33too, seasonality wise, Natural guests almost always puts its low end at the
- 26:40end of the first quarter right now, back at the charts, Yeah,
- 26:45and we are now in the second quarter. All right, Well, interesting
- 26:49times ahead. Anything else that you're looking at, anything else you're doing planning,
- 26:55because there's going to be turmoil, going to be complete and utter chaos
- 27:00throughout the markets, throughout the world. We're heading towards it. It's obvious
- 27:03any that you personally are doing to prepare for the inevitable. Well, I
- 27:10own silver and gold coin, saying joke, silver and bullion, and you
- 27:15know, I even have some pieces on my desk right here, so you
- 27:19know, I always tell everybody you know, you have to that's how you
- 27:22prepare a little bit. I mean, I don't think it's going to save
- 27:26us ultimately, but what I do think it's going to help us out for
- 27:30a little while. So I would definitely have some of that available and you
- 27:34get a pullback, I would tell everybody, you know, go out there
- 27:37and get yourself a little bit of silver. It's not going to hurt you.
- 27:41And if you don't ever use it, you give it to children.
- 27:45Yeah, And this is what I keep on my desk right here, so
- 27:52always as a reminder that the that the real wealth and the world comes from
- 27:57the ground. I mean, the intellectual property has value, no question,
- 28:03but ultimately all wealth comes from the ground. That's right. And you know,
- 28:07we're moving into such a wild time carry with all this AI craze,
- 28:12right, I mean, you can't I care for walk ten feet without somebody
- 28:17asking me about AI. And you know, it's it's almost like a hysteria.
- 28:22Reminds me a little bit of the dot com bubble, But it's really
- 28:26just getting started because these these computer modules or what do you call them,
- 28:30artificial intelligent projects there, they get smarter and smarter, right, They just
- 28:36keep you know, the more memory give them, they can just do so
- 28:38many things. But in my opinion, they're never gonna outsmart the man.
- 28:45And you know where the creation. You know, these things are being created,
- 28:49and you know they're still just a glorify fight algorithm in my opinion,
- 28:53they do some incredible stuff and they're going to take over a lot of jobs
- 28:57out there. I even saw post where Wendy's is going to get rid of
- 29:02the drive through guy over there answering and AI is now taking it over.
- 29:07So you know, get ready for that paradigm shift where you're going to see
- 29:11a lot of a lot of jobs go by the wayside because of this new
- 29:15AI technology. And I don't know, you know where this country thinks or
- 29:21where this world thinks they're going to, you know, get people to work,
- 29:25you know, so you have to think outside the box now, and
- 29:27it might be time to own some precious metals because things can get very very
- 29:33crazy in the world if you have massive unemployment. Yeah, yeah, no
- 29:37doubt. And that's the big fear. Too many people out of work in
- 29:41China, too many people out of work in the United States, in Europe,
- 29:45and it's a recipe for chaos for sure. So having some precious metals
- 29:52is always a good idea, but especially now, and if you get in
- 29:56it. You can't always get in at the bottom unless you're a trader like
- 30:00Nick, and you can't always get out at the top. But you don't
- 30:03need to. They don't need to, So all right, Well, hey,
