- 0:00Hey guys, welcome to the basement.
- 0:02Welcome to a special edition. Yes, Smitty the Silver Bear will
- 0:06have his blindfold removed. We will do that at the end of
- 0:10the live stream. I'm going to move him down here
- 0:12for a second so I don't knock him off the table.
- 0:15We don't want to mess with him. It's his special day.
- 0:17But there are so many big major stories developing in the world
- 0:22of precious metals right now. We are in historic times and
- 0:26we're doing it together. We're getting a report that
- 0:30thanks are making it hard for people to wire money to buy
- 0:32silver and gold. We're going to look at that.
- 0:35We have a top analyst now, a respected top analyst telling us
- 0:40$500 silver is possible in the very near future.
- 0:44And we want to learn why. We're going to look at that.
- 0:47Big news out of China, big news out of India, big news
- 0:51everywhere. The biggest news is you decided
- 0:53to join me down here in the basement.
- 0:56Thank you for doing that. It's been a great ride together
- 0:59so far. We will continue together.
- 1:01And a good way to do that is to please subscribe, hit that
- 1:05subscribe button, give the video a thumbs up, turn on the bell
- 1:08notifications, leave a comment in the comment section.
- 1:11That's how we learn is from each other and with each other.
- 1:15And super chats are never, ever expected, please, but always
- 1:20super appreciated. So let's get started.
- 1:23And again, old Smitty, and there's a little surprise
- 1:25underneath that, underneath that blindfold, Old Smitty is going
- 1:29to get his silver blindfold off at the end of the show because
- 1:33yes, indeed, we did close on the spot price in silver on Friday
- 1:39over $85. You know what, let's go take a
- 1:41look at that first and then we've got a ton of things to
- 1:45look at here. But here we go guys, hold on one
- 1:48second. Yep, we are.
- 1:51Yes, we are on the spot price of silver at Kitco and as you can
- 1:57clearly see, unbelievable. The weekly price, I'll circle it
- 2:01for you, closed at $90.00 per oz.
- 2:05Please, please don't forget that one year ago right now, we were
- 2:09down here in the basement and we were talking about $30.00 an
- 2:12ounce. I made a bold prediction back in
- 2:14November of last year that we could get $65 silver by April
- 2:18Fool's Day. Obviously, I was wrong.
- 2:22No April Fool's joke with that one.
- 2:24But let's talk about all these reasons and examples why we can
- 2:28continue and then we'll take care of Smitty.
- 2:30Let's start with China because the news and the data that we're
- 2:35getting out of China is truly astounding.
- 2:38Here's a simple chart from the Happy Hawaiian who compares
- 2:42silver in China. The red line remains over
- 2:46$101.00 and represents a $10 premium to the United States
- 2:51price, which is the green line. Don't you worry, we're going to
- 2:53look at it here soon. An extra bid under Western Metal
- 2:58will continue as long as that arbitrage exists.
- 3:02An arbitrage basically means a difference in price in the same
- 3:06asset between two markets that allows people to buy it in one
- 3:11market and sell it in another. So in this case, what that would
- 3:14mean is these big fancy traders are buy will buy silver in the
- 3:19United States or in the West and sell it in China for $10 more
- 3:24per oz. That's a simple explanation of
- 3:26arbitrage. But look at this chart again.
- 3:28The red line represents the silver price in China, the green
- 3:33line in the United States. They both are going up.
- 3:36But guys, what we're getting out of China is absolutely
- 3:40incredible. Let's look at the retail price
- 3:43of silver in China right now. We go to Eric Young, King Kong
- 3:479888. He's a great source of
- 3:50information, accurate information from the ground in
- 3:54China. And if you're a retail customer
- 3:57in China, this is what he has to say.
- 3:59Legitimate Mainland China physical silver retails are now
- 4:03quoting physical silver prices with the 13 percent VAT value
- 4:09added tax included at $119.59. So what we're seeing and then if
- 4:17we go down here, he points out that today in Shanghai the
- 4:21here's our update from the Shanghai Gold Exchange silver
- 4:25precious metal benchmark price without the value added tax was
- 4:29at $100.09. The price of silver in China who
- 4:35is becoming the source of price discovery is still significantly
- 4:40higher than what we had in the United States.
- 4:43And what does it mean? We're going to shift gears here
- 4:45for a second that what is what has gone on in the silver market
- 4:50has befuddled even the top, I mean, the top analyst out there,
- 4:56Daniel Golly from TD Securities, right?
- 4:58He's a guy who's I've got a lot of respect for, got burnt again
- 5:03on trying to short silver. What is that telling us?
- 5:06Let's read about what happened to Mr. Golly and TD Securities
- 5:09because they tried to short silver again.
- 5:12And there's a big reason why we're going to we're going to
- 5:15look at this. We do not want to celebrate his
- 5:17losses, but TD Securities takes a hold on here.
- 5:22Here we go. Now we're on the right screen.
- 5:24TD Securities from Niels Christensen at Kitco.
- 5:28TD Securities takes a second hit on a silver short.
- 5:32They tried the short silver a while back.
- 5:34They took a huge loss. They tried again.
- 5:37And wait till you hear the details of this because this
- 5:39time they only lost $606,000 paper money, right?
- 5:44It says blue in a note Wednesday one week.
- 5:47One week after appreciating its silver short trade, commodity
- 5:52analyst at TD Security said they exited the position with a in
- 5:57orange 606 K loss. TD entered its short position at
- 6:0278 an ounce and within one week, silver prices surged more than
- 6:0719% in green. In the initial trade note last
- 6:11week, Daniel Golly, who I have a ton of respect for, right?
- 6:15Senior commodity strategist strategist at TD said the bank
- 6:21was looking for downside momentum and silver prices to
- 6:24pick up his annual index. Rebalancing was expected to push
- 6:295 billion out of the marketplace, which it did right.
- 6:32That's the Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing.
- 6:35The price of silver had gone up so much that that the
- 6:39institutions were going to have to sell silver so that the the
- 6:44the representation of silver in this index would come down to
- 6:48it's an appropriate level. They did sell all that silver,
- 6:51but in yellow. However, in his latest note,
- 6:54Golly said index rebalancing has been well absorbed by the
- 6:59marketplace. So what is that telling us,
- 7:02right? One of the biggest potential
- 7:04events. Even that guy, Steven Van Meter,
- 7:07put out a big video. Silver's going to crash.
- 7:09Silver's going to crash. And he's another highly
- 7:11respected analyst out there, right?
- 7:13TD Securities puts their money where their mouth is and bets
- 7:17against Silver. Silver stands strong.
- 7:20But wait, there's more. Because not only that, but we
- 7:24also had the the the Comex, the CME Group raise margins during
- 7:30this period and silver remained strong.
- 7:34Sure, we're not at all time highs, but guys, we are at
- 7:37$90.00 per oz. And for those of you just
- 7:39joining me, we will take the blindfold off the Silver Barrel
- 7:42Smitty, who's been blindfolded for years.
- 7:45And we said we would take the blindfold off when silver hit
- 7:49$85, which indeed it has. What about potential breakouts?
- 7:53Let's take a look at this, OK? And oh, this is great.
- 7:58This is this is actually exciting for the week coming up.
- 8:02Before we do that, I do need and want to say thank you to channel
- 8:06sponsor First Mint for sponsoring Ron's basement silver
- 8:10specialist mint in Las Vegas, NV owned by First Majestic Silver.
- 8:16The silvers mined in Mexico goes to Las Vegas.
- 8:20They create world class silver bullion products like this right
- 8:25one out silver round. You know, it's my favorite.
- 8:27I love it. Look at the light when the light
- 8:29hits it and it is just absolutely stunning.
- 8:33OK. And they get shipped directly to
- 8:35you from the mine to the meant to you.
- 8:38I don't know of any other retail bullion supplier they can say
- 8:43that, right? Literally, this is the freshest
- 8:45silver that you can get your paws on from the mine to the
- 8:49meant to you. Free shipping on orders over
- 8:51$299. Check them out at first
- 8:55mint.com. I'll show you their website for
- 8:57just a few seconds and then we are going to go back to make
- 9:03sure I've got the right screen. There we go.
- 9:05Yep, we're going to look at a chart that is super exciting.
- 9:08There it is right there. First, mint.com and if you go to
- 9:12their store, you can see they have bars, rounds and other
- 9:17products that are available to you directly to you from the
- 9:20mine to the meant to you. And what is this telling us?
- 9:25This is easy to understand from Gold Silver HQ Silver coiling
- 9:30for a breakout $100. We're going to talk about $500
- 9:34silver from the top analyst out there in a little bit and
- 9:38actually listen to him for 60 seconds as he explains why.
- 9:41But this is showing us 100 possibly coming.
- 9:44That was Friday or Monday and what they are pointing out is
- 9:48that here on a short term chart of silver, as you can see in
- 9:52yellow, we are in a wedge pattern and as far as I can tell
- 9:56we are still in that. That will resolve one way or the
- 10:00other. OK, up or down.
- 10:02Now remember guys, anything can happen.
- 10:04I think it's going up and I believe it's going up and I
- 10:07believe we are going to see 304 hundred $500 silver.
- 10:12But we can have some volatility. But the way a wedge pattern
- 10:15works is right, eventually the price right as time goes on,
- 10:21this is time heading this way. That's the price eventually,
- 10:25because it comes to a point, it's either going to go up on
- 10:28that green arrow or down on the red.
- 10:31We'll see what happens tomorrow night when the silver market
- 10:34opens. It is going to be absolutely
- 10:37crazy. The silver, I'm sorry, the smart
- 10:41silver stacker. Let's talk about a squeeze.
- 10:43You know what? Let's talk about a silver
- 10:45squeeze. Remember that, that word, silver
- 10:47squeeze. We have not had a silver squeeze
- 10:50yet. We've had a prolonged market
- 10:53driven by physical demand, no doubt about it.
- 10:57OK. As for fun, we like to say down
- 11:00here in the basement we've had a silver squeeze, OK, over a long
- 11:08period of time, but not not a squeeze, maybe a micro squeeze,
- 11:12maybe a semi squeeze, I don't know, but not a silver squeeze.
- 11:16We could. And at this point if we're to
- 11:18see if we saw a squeeze in the silver market, we would talk
- 11:23about silver going up unbelievable amounts and an
- 11:26incredibly short period of time. But the smart silver stacker put
- 11:31out in really awesome graphic that talks about the factors
- 11:35that are leading up to a silver squeeze.
- 11:38He said, this is what we're dealing with right now.
- 11:41Excuse me, as silver approaches $100 spot price, silver squeeze.
- 11:47Let me pull that up on the full screen.
- 11:49We'll run through these correct quickly.
- 11:51Direct pressure on the physical market.
- 11:54Shanghai silver price nears $100.
- 11:56That arbitrage that we talked about earlier, the US meant, Oh
- 12:00my gosh, I need to talk. We're going to talk about this
- 12:02later too. Apparently Silver Eagles on the
- 12:05US Mint site selling for $170 will dissect that and see if
- 12:10that's actually true and talk about what the what the Chinese
- 12:14meant is selling their silver pandas for as well.
- 12:18But nonetheless, that shows sign of stress in the market.
- 12:21They can't even adjust to this new price of structure. the US
- 12:25Mint, the CME Group, right, we haven't talked a lot about this,
- 12:28but this is big. They, but they, they're
- 12:30launching a $100 silver futures contract.
- 12:34And what they're trying to do is to get retail to buy more paper
- 12:39silver instead of buying real silver.
- 12:42We've got a looming macroeconomic storm with the
- 12:45Japanese, Japanese carry trade in, the Japanese soaring bond
- 12:49yields. And then of course, right guys,
- 12:52QE, I'll sum it up for you. What he says here, basically
- 12:55money printing. Let's be real, OK, let's be
- 12:58real. We're going to, we're going to
- 12:59look at some paper money a little bit later as well, the
- 13:02new one, the new $100 bill. But there's no way out right now
- 13:09from the monetary and fiscal situation that the United States
- 13:13is in without essentially whether you want to call it
- 13:16money printing, dilution of value of the dollar, whatever it
- 13:20is, the level of debt, the level of interest expense.
- 13:23The deficits that we continue to run are creating a debt spiral.
- 13:28And that will result in, again, whether you want to call it QE,
- 13:32money printing, dilution of the dollar, whatever the case may
- 13:35be, it's going to be a massive, massive think about this.
- 13:40This is this. Put your thinking cap on and
- 13:43join me for a little mental exercise, if you will.
- 13:47Since 1971, when President Richard Nixon temporarily took
- 13:51us, right? I was one year old.
- 13:54I was pissed. My mom said I cried that whole
- 13:56day, took us off the gold standard.
- 13:58The the value of the dollar has gone down by 99% versus gold.
- 14:03OK, But think about that was from 1971 through today, which
- 14:08is what, 55? Yeah.
- 14:09I'm 55 years old, 54 years, OK. Those were that happened that
- 14:14way that that that occurred, OK, that that loss in value in the
- 14:18dollar occurred during a period of time when we were
- 14:22accumulating the debt. We didn't have all that debt
- 14:26back then. It was all being accumulated.
- 14:29So think where we are now, don't even think about the next 55
- 14:33years, think about the next five years, right?
- 14:36And, and, and think about that period of time from 1971 through
- 14:39now where we basically China was not a super, India was not a
- 14:44superpower, OK. Russia was in the process of, of
- 14:47going down the tubes. They've come back.
- 14:50We are in a whole new world. We're moving into a whole new
- 14:53geopolitical world. But we now have an unbelievable
- 14:58amount of debt. We were accumulating the debt
- 15:00during that period. I hope that makes sense because
- 15:03that's a very powerful concept that will undoubtedly, in my
- 15:08opinion, continue to provide a solid, solid tail.
- 15:12No win support, however the heck you want to say it.
- 15:16Higher prices for silver and gold.
- 15:18OK, what else do we have here? I bad news for you.
- 15:23And yes, for those of you who are just joining, we will take
- 15:26the blindfold off the silver bear Smitty because silver did
- 15:29close above $85 in the spot market on Friday.
- 15:32But I got some bad news for you that actually is going to turn
- 15:36into good news. We aren't in a bull market for
- 15:40silver. And Alex, I'll show you why
- 15:42right now. Our friend Rashad, who I think
- 15:44is maybe one of the more underappreciated analysts out
- 15:48there in the precious metals world, said it himself.
- 15:51Rashad, what are you saying in yellow?
- 15:54He says that. Hold on here.
- 15:56Yep, here we go. Most of the investors do not
- 16:00realize that silver is not in a bull run.
- 16:04Oh no, right, we haven't seen a squeeze.
- 16:07We're not in a bull run. No, it is in a price reset.
- 16:12That is absolutely true. I absolutely agree with them and
- 16:16I wonder how you feel about that.
- 16:18Classic analysis and approach won't work.
- 16:21Here we are in a completely new reality and that my friends, is
- 16:27the fact because the price of silver, think about it right,
- 16:32The price of silver and gold, but not to the extent that
- 16:35silver was the price of silver was managed down for decades.
- 16:40It's been proven. OK, we've got a WikiLeaks
- 16:43documents that came out from when they when they created the
- 16:47the paper futures markets. We've had people that spent
- 16:50their entire career, that guy Ted Butler.
- 16:53I think it is proving that the silver price, we've got court
- 16:57cases where JP Morgan was convicted of manipulating the
- 17:01silver price. So what we're seeing now isn't a
- 17:06bull run. It's really just at this point I
- 17:10would say, and I'm curious what you think still just the price
- 17:14getting to where it should be. And then when you look at all
- 17:18the other factors, the monetary fiscal factors that we talked
- 17:21about and the supply and demand factors, are you getting a warm
- 17:26fuzzy feeling in your little silver heart?
- 17:28Because I am, That's what we're talking about.
- 17:31OK, this isn't, it is a bull run.
- 17:34But what he's saying is so true. What we're seeing right now is
- 17:38just the recognition of the suppression that we all endured
- 17:42together. We went through the valley of
- 17:45despair for years and years. I've been following silver very
- 17:49closely for over 2 decades. A lot of you have as well.
- 17:53Some of you are new welcome. OK, you're early in my opinion.
- 17:58OK, If that's a super, super exciting fact that we want to
- 18:02invite before I before I go any further, thank you First Mining
- 18:07Gold for sponsoring Ron's basement.
- 18:09OK, They're a gold development stage company with two huge
- 18:12projects in Canada, millions and millions and millions of Oz of
- 18:18gold in the ground in Canada. They're working 2 projects,
- 18:23Spring Pole in Ontario and Du Parquet located in Quebec, OK
- 18:28through the development stage. It's exciting, it's catalyst
- 18:31Rich and there are not a lot of big, big projects like that in
- 18:36good jurisdictions. They have to, they're in Canada.
- 18:39You can learn more about the company at firstmininggold.com.
- 18:43And Please remember, I'm not a financial advisor.
- 18:46Do your own research, all that great stuff.
- 18:49But in in Full disclosure, it's a stock that I owned long before
- 18:54long, long before they sponsored Ron's basement.
- 18:57I love the company and and the people there I think are
- 19:01absolutely top notch. So check them out.
- 19:04firstmininggold.com. OK, what else is going on here?
- 19:07We got more. OK, all again, there's this big
- 19:10controversy in the silver community right now about the US
- 19:14Mint selling eagles for $170. We're going to get to that next.
- 19:20Before we do that, what's interesting.
- 19:22Congratulations. Do you own any American Silver
- 19:25Eagles? Because if you do, here's one
- 19:28right here able to find one, borrow one, OK, If you own that,
- 19:34that is the new $100 bill. That paper money, there's $100
- 19:41bill. I had to borrow that from
- 19:42upstairs. Susie, by the way, upstairs,
- 19:44Susie, everybody please say hi to her.
- 19:46She is out with the kids, taking care of the kids.
- 19:49So I'm, I'm flying solo today. But I do see that I have the
- 19:52microphone on and she did let me borrow one of her hundos.
- 19:56OK, This let me think about this.
- 20:00Can you believe it that the American that upside down, Yep,
- 20:04it's upside down. Sorry, this this is the new
- 20:09this. I went out and looked at SD
- 20:12bullion, right? They always have great prices.
- 20:14They're known as being one of the best price bullion dealers
- 20:17out there in American Silver Eagles.
- 20:21It's at as low as like $101.00, right?
- 20:24That means you got to buy like 15 zillion of them and pay with
- 20:27cash. But it's not just them.
- 20:28It's all the bullion dealers are selling American Silver Eagles
- 20:33for $100. Now there's this big controversy
- 20:36about the US Mint. Let's dig into that and see if
- 20:39there's any meat there. And I'll tell you what I've
- 20:42learned about that situation because apparently I didn't want
- 20:45to pull up anybody's particular post because there's a lot of
- 20:48controversy out there about this right now.
- 20:52And here it is. OK, this is from the US Mint
- 20:58website. And as you can see, they've got
- 21:032025 Eagle Proofs for $173, American Eagle 2024 one ounce
- 21:10silver proofs for $173, OK? And people like, oh, the Mint's
- 21:15selling eagles for, well, those are proof coins and proof coins.
- 21:19I'm not a coin collector. Good for you if you are.
- 21:21I'm not a numismatic or anything like that.
- 21:23I'm like a pure silver guy. I love the but I'm not one who
- 21:27tries to buy coins that are going to be worth more or rare,
- 21:30whatever. But that's what these proofs are
- 21:32for, right? They're like a higher rated
- 21:35level of the coin, however you want to say it.
- 21:37But what's interesting is that they've got American Eagle 2024
- 21:42one ounce silver uncirculated coins.
- 21:45That does not say proof, that just says uncirculated and those
- 21:50are selling for $169 each. There's people out there that
- 21:58said they like ordered some of these, I don't know like early
- 22:01last week and then their orders got cancelled and and then they
- 22:05were offered to be able to buy them for that amount.
- 22:07I don't know, but it minimum it's very, very curious what's
- 22:11going on with the Mint and their pricing right now.
- 22:14The other thing I want to point out to you is if you look up
- 22:17here also not available, not available, not available, silver
- 22:26gone. OK, but it's not just there
- 22:28because then again, a guy who we have a ton of respect for what's
- 22:33going on with China in their in their sovereign coins.
- 22:37The People's Bank of China, we got it.
- 22:40Yep. OK.
- 22:41The People's Bank of China Panda, that's called the Silver
- 22:44Panda, which you pretty much can't get in the United States
- 22:46anymore. Silver coins are now selling at
- 22:49around 177 U.S. dollars per Troy oz equivalent.
- 22:55Now this gets very interesting. They were selling at $129 and
- 23:00that's what people said about the US Mint coins as well, like
- 23:03they were selling at, I don't know, $99.00 or $89.00 just
- 23:07earlier last week. And then the prices got, you
- 23:10know, pumped up if a lot, let's say the word what we just looked
- 23:14at. And that's the same case here
- 23:16with the People's Bank of China and the Panda coins.
- 23:19They were, they're currently at 177 U.S. dollar equivalent.
- 23:23They were just at $129 on Friday.
- 23:27OK, today's what Saturday it, but it gets more interesting in
- 23:31red because these 30 Grand Panda coins are bullion, not special
- 23:37editions or proof coins. And then he goes through the
- 23:42math and and shows that and he's a very reliable source of
- 23:46information when it comes to silver in China.
- 23:51I skipped forward on us here. Hold on one second.
- 23:56Hold on one second. You want to hear about $500
- 23:59silver? Hold on, guys.
- 24:02Upstairs Susie is not here. We're having some tech issues.
- 24:05I hope you can see me and hear me still.
- 24:08Oh, boy, things go off the rails when my old trusty companion
- 24:12upstairs, Susie, that's my wife. She did say give everybody a
- 24:15high 5. We are going to take the
- 24:17blindfold off Smitty the silver bear here in just a few seconds.
- 24:21OK, but $500 an ounce silver possible within the next few
- 24:29months, I think he says a handful of months.
- 24:32This is one of the most respected by far analyst in the
- 24:38precious metal sector. I've been following this guy
- 24:41probably I can say now for decades.
- 24:43I'm getting old. We're all getting older, right?
- 24:46But I can tell you what's critical.
- 24:49The reason why I always listen to him is because I remember
- 24:53listening to him many times where he would say I think the
- 24:56price of silver is going to go down or I think the price of
- 24:58gold is going to go down. And I was like, Michael, no, no,
- 25:02don't say that, right? You know what it was like the
- 25:04valley of despair that has precious metals.
- 25:06Well, now he's talking about the possibility of $500.00 an ounce
- 25:11silver. And this is new and we're going
- 25:13to listen to it right now about a minute of what he has to say.
- 25:17Listen closely. Hold on, here we go.
- 25:22I've got you on the right screen.
- 25:24And because it it, we're going to start right here at the 15
- 25:28minute, 56 second mark. Prior to this, he was talking
- 25:31about the previous rallies and silver 2011 and I believe 2020
- 25:38around the C-19 crisis as well and how they were rather short
- 25:43lived and more spiky in nature. But then listen to what he says
- 25:47about what is happening right now.
- 25:49This is a treat for our ears. Dynamically for a couple
- 25:54quarters, OK, we've now blown out the old archival 5044
- 26:00dollars to 50 dollars, $4.00 to $50 range that persisted for 1/2
- 26:04century while most markets were well above that comparable
- 26:08range. By the way, copper, even lead,
- 26:11gold never stopped at the 1980 high and 2011 and went way above
- 26:15it. Silver did OK and silver only
- 26:18just recently went through that box.
- 26:20Silver is stating to us long term momentum and its relative
- 26:24valuation levels that it's going to entire entirely new reality
- 26:30and I'm going to suggest the following.
- 26:32In the next handful of months, expect to see silver in the
- 26:35couple hundreds and quite possible the three to 500, and
- 26:43also see those old spread relationships between silver and
- 26:46gold. 6 1/2% of the price of gold, 3.1% of the price of gold
- 26:51to be challenged and possibly even taken out.
- 26:55You do the math on that. If gold were to merely replicate
- 26:59it's old eightfold move and go to a high this year, let's say
- 27:038000 or something, I think it'd go way past that.
- 27:06But let's just assume it does it again, OK?
- 27:09Ho hum, what's 3% of 8000? What's 6 1/2% of 8000?
- 27:17OK, did you hear what I heard? OK, I took some notes.
- 27:22We are in a new reality for silver, a new reality for gold
- 27:28in the next couple of months, handful of months, there's a
- 27:32possibility we can get the 300 to $500 silver price.
- 27:37But what he says that's even as exciting or more exciting about
- 27:41it all is the relationship between gold and silver.
- 27:45Silver being what, what it, what it, you know, silver's
- 27:48percentage price of gold right now, which is maybe what two, 3%
- 27:52that that could change, right? That relates to the gold to
- 27:55silver ratio. So buckle up guys, we are in a
- 27:58new, new reality and it's time for us as part of this new
- 28:02reality to take the blindfold off our old friend Smitty.
- 28:06I want to say thank you to you guys.
- 28:08OK, Smitty's not blindfolded. If it's not for you.
- 28:11The community of people in silver and gold who have
- 28:14supported this channel. I think we have more than 70,000
- 28:17subscribers right now. By the way, if you've not
- 28:20subscribed, please do so. But today's a big, big day.
- 28:23I never would have thought that we would be taking this off so
- 28:28soon. I kind of thought it was
- 28:29possible, but I didn't really think that it would be this
- 28:33soon. OK, But I want to reiterate to
- 28:36you, right? I'm down here, we get to have
- 28:38all this fun. We get to do this today because
- 28:41of the community of people that are in silver and gold and the
- 28:45community of basement dwellers, those of us who like to hang out
- 28:48down here in the basement and become friends and create a
- 28:51community that have made all of this possible.
- 28:54I also want to say special thank you and I won't cry.
- 28:56I could cry right now, but to upstairs, Susie, my lovely wife,
- 29:01you guys know her. She's the the walkie-talkie in
- 29:03the basement who's usually on. I'm not here without her.
- 29:07Best person and we've been married over 20 years.
- 29:10Best person I've ever seen in my life.
- 29:13I got some great friends out there in the silver and gold
- 29:16YouTube community. Bald guy money, check him out.
- 29:18You guys probably already know him.
- 29:20Wonderful guy. I consider him a good friend and
- 29:24I want to say thank you to him and also Pound to Gold, the
- 29:26other channel where I'm great friends with Chris Marcus from
- 29:30Arcadia Economics, somebody I have great deal to respect for
- 29:34and help me on this journey as well.
- 29:37Of course, my sponsors first mining gold first meant OK and
- 29:42companies that previously sponsored me Pinbecks, right,
- 29:45still a great company, a great place to check out to buy gold
- 29:48and silver and Fortuna Mining great companies, still a stock
- 29:52that I own. They supported me along on this
- 29:54journey as well. And I think that's it.
- 29:58So without further, there's a special surprise behind that
- 30:01blindfold. Guys, this is Smitty the Silver
- 30:06Bear. And today he gets to see.
- 30:10Let me let me pull him up here for you so you can see him.
- 30:13All right. And let's I'm going to carefully
- 30:16pull off when let's all count to 3 together and I'll carefully
- 30:20pull off the blindfold and there's a little surprise
- 30:23underneath. So on the count of 3123, oh, oh,
- 30:28Oh my gosh, look at his eyes. Oh my gosh, I knew there was
- 30:35something special about. Hold on, there he is.
- 30:38Look at his eyes. He's got 110th oz 110th oz
- 30:44Silver. Britannias actually bought those
- 30:46from Pimbex years ago. That are are his eyes.
- 30:51I knew I was missing two of those.
- 30:54And now we know. Oh, and Susie warned me she's
- 30:57not here. I need to take off his handcuffs
- 30:58too. Sorry, buddy.
- 31:00There you go. He's been, he's been, he's the
- 31:04only thing handcuffed down here in the basement, but he's been
- 31:07handcuffed down here in the basement for a long, long time.
- 31:12We're going to keep him around, right?
- 31:14Because he's a part of our community, a part of our show.
- 31:17And I think, right, I don't know, we'll have to figure out
- 31:20something else to blindfold. But maybe the next one will be
- 31:23$500 silver because I know that I can be sitting down here
- 31:27someday in the future talking about 500 dollar silver.
- 31:33I really appreciate you, each and every one of you.
