- 0:01Incredible moves in the price of gold and silver.
- 0:04We're living that right now, yet we're getting warnings, in
- 0:08particular for silver and in particular for the next three
- 0:12days. Should we heed those warnings or
- 0:14is there overwhelming evidence to the contrary and that we
- 0:19together can remain very optimistic about the silver and
- 0:22gold price? We're going to hear what Kitco
- 0:25has to say. A respected name in the precious
- 0:28metal sector above and beyond us here down here in Ron's
- 0:32basement. We're also going to look at some
- 0:34crazy data out of India and we're going to dig in.
- 0:37We're going to make it real simple to understand what's
- 0:39going on with this index rebalancing that everybody's,
- 0:42there's all this fanfare, warning, warning, silver, red,
- 0:46right? I've wore my red shirt going to
- 0:48go down again. We're going to look at the
- 0:50evidence to the contrary. The best thing we're going to
- 0:53look at at is each other. Thank you for being down here in

- 1:14So enjoy your time down here in the basement.
- 1:16Really, it's not possible without you.
- 1:18We're a community that loves gold and silver.
- 1:21You're welcome here. A new friend in the basement
- 1:24here in Saint Louis. Let's dig into what's going on
- 1:27because there's a lot of big news happening right now in the
- 1:30world of gold and silver. Oh, and Bark, a guy named Bark.
- 1:34I'll talk tell you about him at the end.
- 1:36He's saying that we could have a 25% increase in the silver price
- 1:42in like the next two weeks. We'll see why he's saying that,
- 1:45but let's get started. We are the people.
- 1:48We have the power. Congratulations, you're
- 1:50powerful. And silver has always been the
- 1:53people's money. I'll tell you why that's
- 1:55important. Let's go take a look at this
- 1:57from Shibo. Silver fraud.
- 2:00No, there's never been any fraud in the world of silver exposed.
- 2:05The disconnect is painful while paper markets try to hold the
- 2:09line. Excuse me, The physical world is
- 2:13screaming. Now, I'm not going to vouch to
- 2:15the accuracy of these numbers, but he's saying in China, 128 an
- 2:20ounce, Japan 120 an ounce, Venezuela $114.00 an ounce, and
- 2:25I ran $97.00 per oz. I personally think those are a
- 2:29little bit skewed to the upside, but there's a big point that he
- 2:32made that I want to touch on. He says the cell wall is a paper
- 2:36tiger. Banks are naked, shorting a
- 2:38metal that is physically disappearing.
- 2:40When the vaults run dry, which they are, the paper price goes
- 2:45to 0 and the physical price goes to the moon.
- 2:49If you thought about that, that's something very
- 2:51interesting when the vaults at the, at the COMEX in the LBMA,
- 2:55the London Billion Market Association in London, England,
- 3:00they've been playing with the silver and gold price for, for a
- 3:02few years. When their vaults go dry, their
- 3:05price goes to 0. But who cares, right?
- 3:08Because the physical price is really what happens.
- 3:11But what's really powerful here is that the people are taking it
- 3:15back. And then he has a little graphic
- 3:17there. And what's so important for us
- 3:20to remember guys about this is that silver has always been the
- 3:26people's money. Silver was actually used as
- 3:28money before gold. The word for silver in many
- 3:33languages outside of English, the word they use for silver is
- 3:38the same word they use for money.
- 3:41This is a physical driven rally in the silver price.
- 3:46This is different. All this paper make believe
- 3:49Comex LBMA and we're going to look at that here in a second is
- 3:53just fluff. It's fantasy island silver.
- 3:55We talked about that many times. A lot of you are around my age.
- 3:59You remember in the 80's the hit TV show.
- 4:02I loved it. Fantasy Island and that little
- 4:05guy tattoo would go out and say boss deplane, deplane, right?
- 4:09Everything was make believe in Fantasy Island.
- 4:12That's what we have at the Comex in the LBMA, the exact same
- 4:16thing. The big take away is silver is
- 4:19the people's money right there. What's that saying?
- 4:22Gold is the money of of the royalty.
- 4:26Silver is the money of the people.
- 4:29OK, I won't go down that path, but please always try to stay
- 4:32out of debt. But debt is the currency of
- 4:35slavery, whereas silver is the money of the people and the
- 4:39people, right? Those lines of people we saw at
- 4:43the big Orlando Coin show. If you didn't see the show, but
- 4:47we did yesterday, there were just thousands of people lined
- 4:50up to get into the Orlando Coin show.
- 4:53People around the world in Australia, people at Singapore,
- 4:56everywhere. Bullion Star guys, this is a
- 4:59people driven movement. It's super exciting.
- 5:02It truly is a once in a lifetime experience.
- 5:05Now let's get to some hard data because you didn't just come
- 5:08here to listen to me rant and ramble.
- 5:10No, and I am glad you're down here in the basement with me,
- 5:14but let's go here first. Our good friend Oriental Ghost
- 5:17provides us an update from the Shanghai Gold Exchange where we
- 5:22can see that on Friday, the price of.
- 5:25I'm sorry, yeah, The price of silver, it was $83.62, the
- 5:30Shanghai Gold Exchange. There's Silver AG on the
- 5:35Shanghai Gold Exchange is a physical market.
- 5:38Now let's compare that price. We're going to remember 84.
- 5:42I have a hard time remembering non round numbers.
- 5:45Let's go out here and look at the futures price.
- 5:48This for those of you who are new, is the comex right?
- 5:53The futures market, the real make believe leverage.
- 5:56What I don't know 3-4 hundred to one.
- 5:58This is for the March 2026 contract they're at.
- 6:02I got to write this down. Hold on a second.
- 6:04Where's my pen? So Shanghai is at 84, Comex is
- 6:10at 80. I wonder what the spot price?
- 6:13So that's the futures market. Let's go over and look at the
- 6:15spot price next. And again, for those of you who
- 6:19are new, this is on the Kitco website.
- 6:22As you can see, that's the world spot price.
- 6:25Here's silver and silver is 7996.
- 6:30So the spot price for silver, right, the physical spot price
- 6:34is indeed now slightly higher than what it is in the futures
- 6:38market. That is unusual.
- 6:40That's called backwardation. OK.
- 6:42It's not severe, but it still is an unusual usually.
- 6:46Usually the spot price, the immediate price should be lower
- 6:51than the futures price. That's called contango.
- 6:54That's the normal state of any market.
- 6:57When the spot price goes above the futures price, that's called
- 7:00backwardation. But when you're pretty close to
- 7:03the middle, we have a special term that we use down here in
- 7:06the basement where it's kind of teetering on in between.
- 7:09We call it backward tango. If we have a big party, if I
- 7:15show up at one of those big silver conferences, we'll make
- 7:18up a a special dance while we're all celebrating with our, you
- 7:22know, $945 silver jingling in our pockets per oz.
- 7:27And we're going to call that dance the backward tango.
- 7:30I'll let one of you more talented dance people make that
- 7:32dance up. OK, we got a lot more.
- 7:35We're going to, we're going to, I'm going to explain it very
- 7:37simply. I know you're sophisticated,
- 7:39right? That's what Google tells me
- 7:41about you, my audience. But I like to keep things simple
- 7:44about this Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing.
- 7:47Before we do that, we're going to play a special tribute to
- 7:51something very important and that is India and what's going
- 7:54on with India and silver. Before we do that, we're all
- 7:57going to say thank you First Mint for sponsoring Ron's
- 8:00basement that allows us to get together down here and hang out.
- 8:04First Mint is a mint in Las Vegas, NV.
- 8:07They have incredible silver bullion products.
- 8:11And what's even best, Susie, she's upstairs Susie, who's not
- 8:14here right now, She's taking That's that's for those of you
- 8:17who are new. That's my wife upstairs Susie.
- 8:19She communicates via walkie-talkie, but she's out
- 8:23taking care of her 92 year old mother.
- 8:25So I'm down here by myself. Oh, what I was saying is she
- 8:28sent me a text, some screenshots of what you guys are saying
- 8:31about First Mint. How pleased you are.
- 8:34First Mint is awesome. It's a premium retail
- 8:36experience. All their products are unique,
- 8:39right? Like their Buffalo round, the
- 8:41Las Vegas round, the year of the Dragon, the year for the Snake.
- 8:43They've got the Folds of Honor campaign, which is awesome.
- 8:47It actually benefits the Folds of Honor Foundation, which
- 8:51provides academic scholarships to children and spouses of
- 8:56fallen and disabled members of the first responder and military
- 9:00communities. They've raised over like
- 9:02$300,000. Here's where you go check out.
- 9:04First meant, then we're going to India.
- 9:06Don't forget then we're going to the Bloomberg Commodity Index.
- 9:11And here we go. This is the first meant website,
- 9:14firstmeant.com. Like everybody else with the
- 9:17craziness in the market right now, they have some slight
- 9:20shipping delays, but you do get free shipping on orders over
- 9:25$299. And here's their Buffalo Round.
- 9:29I love that thing here. You know what?
- 9:30I've got one. I'm going to tell you what,
- 9:32don't you just love silver? When I'm sitting here, out of
- 9:35the corner of my eye, I see something shining at me and it's
- 9:39this. This is the Buffalo round at
- 9:41first, and I'm telling you it is.
- 9:44In my opinion, they're probably going to get tired of me saying
- 9:47this, but one of the most beautiful pieces of silver, I
- 9:50call it silver artwork. I mean, I, I was talking to
- 9:54somebody this morning. I don't know how you feel about
- 9:56it, but like, I love all the reasons to own silver.
- 9:59I love that it's generational wealth.
- 10:01But what I love even more is really the beauty of silver.
- 10:07I don't keep much at the house, just a couple pieces.
- 10:09And honestly, I've never been a big gold, physical gold buyer at
- 10:13all. I own gold mining stocks.
- 10:15But still, something about silver is absolutely beautiful.
- 10:18You're not here to hear about my personal likes and dislikes.
- 10:22You're here to talk about why silver's on fire, OK, And we get
- 10:27news out of India. India, 1.4 billion people, they
- 10:31love silver and gold. It's ingrained in their culture.
- 10:34They use it as money, as a way to store value.
- 10:37They're basically monetizing it here in early 2026 because now
- 10:41their banking system is going to allow them to use silver as
- 10:45collateral. But that's not the big the big
- 10:48point is this crazy data out of out of India with silver.
- 10:53This comes from hold on, let's get the right is this the right
- 10:57screen? Hold on here, guys.
- 10:59And yes, it is Peter Spina from gold seek silver seek pointed
- 11:06this out India. I'm going to tell you why this
- 11:08is important. Silver ETFs added 22.54 million
- 11:15ounces of silver over the last four weeks.
- 11:22In four weeks, 22 million. How many weeks are there in a
- 11:26year? Yeah, 52.
- 11:29So you divide 52 by 4, you get 43.
- 11:33Hold on a minute. Let's do the math.
- 11:35If they were to keep up 43. Hold on, guys.
- 11:41Hold on here. Hold on.
- 11:43And then also the SLV and the PSLV also added another what,
- 11:4814,000,000 But hold on here, this is we're going to do this
- 11:51live. I'm going to bring you back, OK,
- 11:54We're going to round. I'll make sure my math is
- 11:56correct. Hold on, I'll show you this in
- 11:58one second. This is an incredible go to the
- 12:02where's the damn phone? OK, calculator 52 / 4 equals.
- 12:08I was right, 13 weeks. That's not what we're looking at
- 12:10now. We want to do 13 * 22 one
- 12:17231230. My gosh, if they were to keep up
- 12:22that pace, which I'm not saying they are, but maybe it'll go up.
- 12:25You never know. They would.
- 12:26The silver ETFs in India. Can you see that?
- 12:30I don't think you can see that. You got to believe me here.
- 12:36Almost 300 million oz, OK, That's like what, 43% of the
- 12:42entire world's silver mining production?
- 12:45India's the sleeper. Tokenization of gold and silver,
- 12:49that's the sleeper. We've talked about that before.
- 12:51Tune into future episodes. I'll keep talking about it.
- 12:54India, OK, that's just their ETFs.
- 12:58That doesn't count industrial demand.
- 13:00That doesn't count China, that doesn't count all this stuff.
- 13:03But I want to move on because we got a lot more to talk about.
- 13:06Guys, let's talk about the warning.
- 13:08Red. Oh, my gosh, the Sky's falling.
- 13:10Silver's going to crash, right? Are you hearing that We're
- 13:13getting all these reports, Even this guy, Steven Van Meter, let
- 13:17me pull this up. This is a lot of you were
- 13:20getting very concerned when you saw this.
- 13:24Steven Van Meter puts this video out.
- 13:26Get out now with pictures of silver melting.
- 13:29Now I'm going to give you a warning, OK, but this guy has
- 13:33like 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and I've watched him
- 13:37before. I don't watch him as much now as
- 13:39I used to years ago and he's a pretty knowledgeable guy.
- 13:42But he put out this big video about how the holy poop 14
- 13:46billion silver sell off starts tomorrow and he put this out, I
- 13:51don't know, 2 days ago and it's all about this Bloomberg
- 13:54commodity index rebalancing. Let's go to this one here and
- 13:59then we'll come back and I'm, and then we're going to, we're,
- 14:01I'm going to simply explain to you what this is and what it
- 14:04could mean for silver and where we are in the process because
- 14:08it's critical that we know this. But Silver Netug put out it's
- 14:12Friday in the first of five days.
- 14:15I think it was actually the second of five days where
- 14:18balanced net index funds will sell off 5 to 7 in five to $7
- 14:22billion in silver futures because they need to rebalance
- 14:26their positions based on this. TD Securities, right?
- 14:30That guy Golly, who's been pretty accurate about silver and
- 14:34others, said we would see a massive drop in the silver
- 14:37price, recommending shorting silver.
- 14:41Well, congratulations, you are now short and the silver price
- 14:44is up 3 1/2% today. We don't want to take a victory
- 14:48lap on this yet, guys. But look at this little, There's
- 14:51the silver grip, there's the bankers in there.
- 14:55Help me, help me. OK, but let's talk about this
- 14:59rebalancing where we are and, and then we're going to talk
- 15:03about Niels Christensen from Kitco, what he said about it,
- 15:05which is like boom goes the dynamite and then we got bark
- 15:09who's telling us we could go up 25% and what the next 10 trading
- 15:13days for silver. But here real quickly, I have
- 15:17this for you. We'll read through it and then
- 15:19I'll tell you the key thing here.
- 15:21This came from Gemini, which said the 2026 Bloomberg
- 15:26Commodity Index rebalancing is scheduled to run from January
- 15:318th through January 15th, which is through Wednesday of next
- 15:36week and from my understanding actually started Thursday of
- 15:39last week because silver's weight in the index is being cut
- 15:43significantly, dropping from 9.6% to 4%.
- 15:47And the reason why it's dropping is a good thing, it's because
- 15:51the price of silver went up. So the the amount or the
- 15:54percentage of the index that silver was taking up because of
- 15:58the new high price environment that I think is permanent that
- 16:02we are in became too high. So they needed to get rid of
- 16:05some of the silver to more be more reflective of the entire
- 16:09commodity basket. It's a basket of a bunch of
- 16:12different commodities. Passive funds are currently
- 16:15forced to sell billions of dollars in silver futures.
- 16:18Here's the key dates. The window, the rebalancing
- 16:22occurs over 5 business days. It began Thursday of last week,
- 16:26January 8th and will continue through next Wednesday, January
- 16:3015th. So think about that, but we'll
- 16:33just read this next week. You should expect continued
- 16:35technical selling pressure in high volatility through the
- 16:38middle of next week is the final stages of the roll period are
- 16:42completed. And finally, one more thing,
- 16:45selling volume analyst estimate between 3.8 and 6.8 billion of
- 16:50silver will be sold during this window representing roughly 9 to
- 16:5413%. I think this is one of the key
- 16:57things. And then we're going to talk
- 16:58about what Neil's from, from Kitco had to say in our, he
- 17:03reported in an article. But guys, the reality is number
- 17:07one, hey, we went up, up. Hold on, let's get full screen
- 17:12so we can see each other. Friday was OK.
- 17:15This happened Thursday, Friday of last week and will happen
- 17:18Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So we're already 40% through
- 17:22this. We're almost halfway through
- 17:23this period where silver was supposed to crash.
- 17:27Furthermore, silver didn't crash on Friday, right?
- 17:32We know silver went up in the up, up, up, up.
- 17:34The price of silver went up, the price of gold went up because
- 17:37this is happening for gold as well.
- 17:39So warning, I will give a warning.
- 17:43We're not out of the woods yet in terms of this, but it's just
- 17:47it's not it's not selling because of fundamental reasons.
- 17:51It's selling because they just need to rebalance the the, the
- 17:56silver representation in the overall commodity index, which
- 18:01has silver, gold, I don't know what else.
- 18:03All kinds of commodities, probably oil, wheat, I don't
- 18:06know everything OK. And silver, because the price of
- 18:09silver went up so high, they were like, whoa, right, we need
- 18:12to get rid of some of the silver in here because it's over
- 18:15represented from a dollar perspective.
- 18:18So it's only being sold because of technical reasons.
- 18:21We're almost halfway through. I don't know, you know, who
- 18:24knows what can happen next week. Always be responsible with
- 18:27interview. I'm not a financial advisor, but
- 18:31all this hubbub about Oh my God, silver's not happened so far.
- 18:36And we can say that that's what we know right now.
- 18:39Now next we're going to look at some powerful Niels Christensen
- 18:42from from Kitco knocked it out of the park with this next
- 18:46article. There's like 4 great things in
- 18:48there that we need to talk about.
- 18:50And we need to talk about Mr. Bark telling us that we could
- 18:53have a 25% rally in silver real soon and we'll look at his
- 18:57reasons why. Before we do that, I want to say
- 19:00thank you to channel sponsor First Mining Gold.
- 19:04It's a stock I've owned for years and years, long before
- 19:07they sponsored my channel. I'm not giving stock picking
- 19:10advice, stock advice. I'm just sharing my experience
- 19:14with the company, which is I like what they're doing because
- 19:17they have two big massive development stage gold projects
- 19:22in Canada. That's big gold in the ground in
- 19:25Canada, right? They aren't mining yet, they're
- 19:28in the development stage. But over $100 million easily has
- 19:32been spent over the years, decades on determining that this
- 19:36gold is in the ground and it's in Canada.
- 19:39The big mining companies, the big active mining companies are
- 19:42always needing to replenish their pipelines.
- 19:46And now with this new price environment that we're living in
- 19:50with gold and silver, they also want to grow.
- 19:53And there aren't many big projects in Canada.
- 19:56First Mining Gold has spring pull in Ontario and Du Parquet
- 19:59in Quebec. You can learn more about them at
- 20:01firstmininggold.com. And I always have to remind you,
- 20:04I'm not a financial advisor, OK? Do your own research, all that
- 20:07great stuff. What I will share with you is
- 20:10what I believe. So anyhow, thank you.
- 20:15All right, let's move on. Oh, yeah.
- 20:17Boom, boom, boom. Kitco.
- 20:19What are they saying? What did Niels Christensen say?
- 20:23Kitco's one of the more respected names out there in the
- 20:26world of metals. I got some stuff highlighted for
- 20:29you on this one. There's our friend Niels.
- 20:31We love him. Gold and silver refuse to
- 20:36flinch. All right, now let's dig into
- 20:38this. Talking about what's going on in
- 20:41the world of gold and silver. It says in green, the resilience
- 20:44of silver has been particularly impressive as short term
- 20:48downside risks have started to pile up in the marketplace.
- 20:53A little bit of headwinds for the silver price.
- 20:56The Gray metal has bounced back from its sharp drop last week
- 21:00after the CME Group, well, we forgot about this, raised margin
- 21:07requirements to tap down speculative momentum.
- 21:11So the CME Group, let's remember these things and we're then
- 21:14we're going to put it all together.
- 21:16The CME Group raised margin, but several times.
- 21:19Now that's kind of what they did during other times where there
- 21:23were big silver up moves like the silver squeeze, the
- 21:27situation that happened around 2011, the situation that
- 21:31happened during the C-19 crisis. And even when they when they
- 21:35defeated the Hunt brothers in the late 1970s, early 80 time
- 21:40period, that's what they do. They raise margins.
- 21:43But what let's just just make a note of that.
- 21:47That's all I want you to do in red.
- 21:49Meanwhile, both gold and silver will be extremely sensitive to
- 21:54annual index rebalancing. That's what we just talked
- 21:58about, right? The Bloomberg Commodity Index.
- 22:00But wait, there's more. There's a lot more guys in blue.
- 22:04However, the good news you want, you want some good news, that's
- 22:08what you're here for, is that this rebalancing will be
- 22:11finished next week on Wednesday. Neil's like we know down here in
- 22:15the basement. And despite the downside risk,
- 22:18many analysts have said that the broader fundamentals supporting
- 22:23the metal remain firmly in place.
- 22:26Hold on one second, here we might be.
- 22:28Hopefully you guys can still see me and hear me.
- 22:32We seem to be having some tech issues.
- 22:34Let me know in the comments if you can see me and hear me give
- 22:37me a 5 by 5. OK, so the rebound.
- 22:39So there's two things right? This.
- 22:42Well, all right, let's go index rebound.
- 22:44Let's talk about this and then we'll come back and wrap it all
- 22:46up. Index rebalancing may not make
- 22:49headlines, but it has a habit of reminding markets who is really
- 22:55in charge. Specifically for silver, it is
- 22:59difficult to see any significant downside as industrial
- 23:04consumption and investor demand continue to compete for
- 23:08dwindling supplies. No silver mine can be built in
- 23:13the next couple of months to alleviate the ongoing supply
- 23:17crunch, no matter how much the market might wish otherwise.
- 23:21Man, I love it Neils. I absolutely love it.
- 23:25Brother. That is awesome, huh?
- 23:27Let's all give Neils a virtual hug.
- 23:29Welcome to the basement. You're a fan favorite down here.
- 23:33But he said two things. Let's just take a little step
- 23:36back. We can look at the big macro
- 23:38factors affecting silver, gold, all that great stuff.
- 23:41OK, yeah, money, printing, geopolitical safe haven, all
- 23:44that. All that's working in our favor.
- 23:46But if we even look at these immediate factors, just think
- 23:49what they've thrown at silver in the last month #1 the CME Group,
- 23:55the COMEX, right, who's had a habit of, let's just say
- 24:00exerting unnecessary downward authority on the silver price
- 24:05has raised margins several times.
- 24:09Did that hurt silver? Nope, not at all.
- 24:12What about #2 now we got this big rebalancing thing, and all
- 24:16the top names are saying, oh, silver's going to crash.
- 24:19Silver's going to silver's going to be red, as red as Ron's
- 24:21shirt. Did that affect silver?
- 24:24No. So take a step back, think about
- 24:27the big macro factors, the money printing that's going on, all
- 24:30the craziness, right, the geopolitical issues in the world
- 24:34that all support the silver price.
- 24:37And then even what people are saying are like big things
- 24:40happening on a little bit lower level, but things that should
- 24:44boom be like body blow, body blow to the price of silver.
- 24:48The CME Group raise, body blow, body blow, raise margins, right?
- 24:52Oh, the Bloomberg Commodity Index has to rebalance.
- 24:56They're going to sell all the silver Bob, body blow, body blow
- 24:59right to now. What we can say right now on
- 25:02Saturday, January 10th, 2025, it hasn't made them flinch not even
- 25:101 little bit. And then yesterday let's talk
- 25:13about this and then we'll talk about bark telling us that we
- 25:15could have this incredible move and silver real soon.
- 25:19We like you bark, you're bark. We like the way you bark bark.
- 25:23But yesterday we get this big news here.
- 25:25I'll just I'll pull up the headline for you, but then I'll
- 25:29tell you why this is very, very important.
- 25:33Another one from Neil's Gold breaks $4500 as cooling labor
- 25:39market strengthens the bowl case.
- 25:42OK, again, this is a situation. These are not massive macro
- 25:47factors in terms of reasons why, but these are kind of
- 25:51intermediate factors, right? The labor market and how it will
- 25:54impact the feds interest rate decisions going forward but
- 25:59yesterday what this comes down to guys one of our favorite
- 26:03subjects that we love to talk about money printing debasement.
- 26:07You know what they're calling it now they're calling gold and
- 26:10silver. They, they took our term.
- 26:12We said this like 3-4 years ago. We said gold and silver are the
- 26:16basement debasement trade. And now everybody, even on Wall
- 26:20Street, they're saying gold and silver are the debasement trade.
- 26:24So couple things. We get this employment data
- 26:27yesterday, which was lower than expected, less jobs were
- 26:29created, blah, blah, blah. Consider this, those numbers
- 26:34that we get from the BLS, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics
- 26:39are going to be skewed. You know, there's so much
- 26:42pressure. We know that that over time,
- 26:45over over years, the data has shown that the number of jobs
- 26:48that they say are created aren't actually the number.
- 26:52So the numbers that we got were bad, which will add fuel to the
- 26:55higher for money printing for lower interest rates on top of
- 27:00that. OK, we get news this week when
- 27:03it comes to money printing. President Donald Trump, not a
- 27:06political statement, says he wants to increase the defense
- 27:09budget from like 1 trillion to 1.5.
- 27:12He wants to raise the defense budget by half a trillion
- 27:15dollars. Where's that money going to come
- 27:18from? Because you know what?
- 27:19Last we checked on the US debt clock, our government is already
- 27:23spending what, 2 trillion more? I know it's crazy.
- 27:27We have a deficit. We're already spending more than
- 27:29we're bringing in. So the only way they're going to
- 27:32get that extra 500 billion, which is the same thing as 1/2
- 27:36trillion, is by printing more money.
- 27:38OK, that's it. That's the reality.
- 27:40Then on top of that, we get news that they're that they're going
- 27:44to inject 200 billion in, in buying government.
- 27:49I'm, I'm sorry, mortgages, right?
- 27:52The money. The big take away here is the
- 27:54money printer is going to be on the value of the US dollar.
- 27:58The real value will continue to go down and the real value of
- 28:04things like silver and gold will continue to go up, just like
- 28:07they've done for thousands of years.
- 28:08Let's talk about Bark Bark's barking.
- 28:11And we like what Bark's, you know, usually barking, barking
- 28:14is a little bit annoying, but let's listen to what Bark says.
- 28:17And Bark, you know, I don't know him, but he does have, what,
- 28:23100,000, no 250,000 followers on the X platform.
- 28:28He says Silver projected predicted to make a 25% gain in
- 28:34the next two weeks. Why?
- 28:36Well, Bark says Silver is currently in a textbook uptrend
- 28:39and set to continue historic rally from here.
- 28:42The path to 100 is a 25% gain. The macro environment has become
- 28:47the perfect storm for this move to occur by the end of January.
- 28:52Again, this is Park saying this. What's driving the game, the
- 28:56supply shock dealers are selling far above spot or on 6 month
- 29:00back order. Safe haven capital is
- 29:03aggressively rotating out of risk assets into metals, $3
- 29:08debasement. They're all using our term now.
- 29:10The basement, we always knew gold and silver was the basement
- 29:14trade continued bed printing is mathematically guaranteeing a
- 29:17lower dollar and the extreme scenario if these catalysts
- 29:22accelerate the models project an overshoot.
- 29:25We just don't hit $100. We likely spike to 130 in the
- 29:30same time frame. Do not bet against silver.
- 29:34Hey, look, we'll see how it plays out.
- 29:36Mr. Bark does not have a crystal ball.
- 29:39I don't have a crystal ball. Nobody has a crystal ball.
- 29:42So my final warning to you is please always be responsible
- 29:46with any investments that you make, whether precious metals,
- 29:49tax bonds, mutual funds, real estate, marriages, adoptions,
- 29:53puppies, whatever. Please, seriously, always be
- 29:56responsible. Don't expose yourself to too
- 29:59much risk. Silver can be very volatile.
- 30:01I believe in my heart, right, that we are in for much higher
- 30:06prices. But I can tell you right, I'm
- 30:08usually right, but I am sometimes wrong.
- 30:11And there's one thing for sure, as we go up and up and up with
- 30:14silver, there will be volatility we're going to have.
- 30:17Didn't Friday feel good? Didn't yesterday feel good?
- 30:20Yeah, it did, absolutely. But there's going to be downward
- 30:24volatile days as well. What's critical in two things is
- 30:28that is that we continue on an upward trend, which is what we
- 30:32are doing. And that you and I as
- 30:33individuals realize that even on big up days, that big down days,
- 30:38it can become very emotional. And we want to strip our
- 30:41emotions out, right? Use logic, use strategy before
- 30:45we make any decisions. OK?
- 30:47I just want everybody to be safe and to be happy.
- 30:51Thank you guys. Hey, and don't forget, I want to
- 30:53say thank you also to a company that I'm affiliated with, which
- 30:57is Dirty Man safe. If you're looking for a way to

- 31:27Now who do you know that ever buried precious things on the
- 31:30ground? That was a very effective and
- 31:32Safeway to do so. That's right, are are the

- 32:18another tube of sleeve that you bury.
