Transcript
- 0:01Massive developing stories in the silver and gold market.
- 0:06Interesting developments, guys. By the time we get through this
- 0:09massive live stream, we're going to have a different perspective
- 0:13on where we are going and we are going some places today, last I
- 0:17checked, the silver price was up four, $5 per oz.
- 0:21But warning, warning, right? Don't forget, the Comex has a
- 0:25lot of tricks up their sleeves, so don't be surprised if there's
- 0:28another glitch in the COMEX system.
- 0:31I don't know, what do you think? What could be next?
- 0:33Will the servers and the data center, will they go on strike?
- 0:37Or maybe they'll head off on a meditation retreat?
- 0:40We got a lot to cover in this live stream.
- 0:43We're going to talk about the big mega bank.
- 0:45We're going to talk about the COMEX.
- 0:46We're going to talk about India. We're going to talk about Asia.
- 0:49And beyond all of this, providing a massive foundation
- 0:54for the precious metals. James St.
- 0:57And we got a lot more to go through guys.
- 0:59But let's get started first with the big mega news from the big
- 1:03mega bank and why this is so important.
- 1:06This comes from Citigroup, who yes, they said it, $150.00
- 1:12silver, but let's learn why and let's talk about why this is so
- 1:16important. Me pull up the article this came
- 1:19from originally MSN and here it goes.
- 1:24City reportedly expects spot silver to hit $150.00 per oz in
- 1:33three months. The analyst say precious metal
- 1:37behaving like quote UN quote gold on steroids.
- 1:41Well, we love gold, no doubt about it.
- 1:44And if silver is gold on steroids, that's what we talked
- 1:47about many times, a slingshot move in silver in red.
- 1:51The city analysts believe that the rallies being driven by
- 1:55strong physical and speculative demand or maybe the fact that
- 1:59there's been a silver deficit for the last five years going
- 2:02into the 6th year, which UBS said could be as much as 300
- 2:07million oz, which would be a record.
- 2:09I digress, particularly from China, according to Bloomberg.
- 2:13Wait till you hear did I tell you?
- 2:15Oh gosh, the whole one of the big stories we're going to talk
- 2:18about today is India. There's many reasons to be even
- 2:24more excited about silver and gold because of India.
- 2:27In green, City expects silver to continue outperforming until it
- 2:31appears expensive by historical standards.
- 2:35City sees an additional 3030 to 40% upside to spot prices that
- 2:41make believe spot price in the near term.
- 2:44That's if the servers don't go on strike, right?
- 2:46The bank also noted that if the gold to silver ratio were to
- 2:51return to its 2011 low. Oh my gosh, no way.
- 2:55The gold to silver ratio actually go back to the 2011
- 2:59low. That could never happen.
- 3:01Silver prices could reach 160 to $170 per oz.
- 3:07Final two points here. Citigroup expects silver's
- 3:10powerful rally to extend further forecasting.
- 3:12Spot prices could surge to a record 150 an ounce.
- 3:16Apparently. Guys, this is from Bloomberg
- 3:18within the next Oh, wait, here's the important part.
- 3:21Oh man, I screwed that up. Let's Start Over could surge to
- 3:26a record $150.00 per oz within the next three months, according
- 3:35to a report. There we go by Bloomberg on
- 3:39Tuesday. So let's think about this guys.
- 3:42We have one of the world's biggest banks, most respected
- 3:46banks, Citigroup. You know, they have like 200,000
- 3:49employees. That's like, that's like four
- 3:52NFL football stadiums full of what are all these people doing,
- 3:56probably trying to keep the silver price down.
- 3:58But now they gave up. So now the world's biggest bank,
- 4:01that's a big deal. That's mainstream financial
- 4:05services, kind of like Bank of America telling us we could have
- 4:08$309 silver. Kind of like all the other.
- 4:11We are a living in a new, whole new, new new world.
- 4:14Let's go to the COMEX and see what's going on there.
- 4:17And then we got India and we got a lot more to talk about today.
- 4:21Hey, oh, wait, the most important thing.
- 4:23I apologize to you. I'm sorry, I forgot have to
- 4:26recognize you and how special it is to both myself and my wife
- 4:31upstairs, Susie, who sits in this comfortable purple
- 4:35Adirondack chair and communicates with us be a
- 4:39walkie-talkie. No seriously guys, it's a
- 4:41community. We are basement dwellers.
- 4:44We love silver and gold. Thank you for being here.
- 4:48Please, if you want to stay up to date with everything going
- 4:50on, subscribe to the channel that's free.
- 4:53Give the video a thumbs up. That helps.
- 4:55That gets the word out to more people because the more of the
- 5:02people who join us, that's more people trying to buy gold and
- 5:06silver. And you probably already have
- 5:08yours anyhow. And what else?
- 5:10Oh, yeah, super chats. Super thanks.
- 5:13Monetary donations. Hey, look, they're greatly
- 5:15appreciated, but absolutely never expected.
- 5:19Always be responsible. And I'm not a financial advisor.
- 5:21All that great stuff. Let's go see what's going on at
- 5:24the COMEX right now. This comes from.
- 5:27I love this guy. He is the international, not
- 5:31just a stacker. He's an international stacker
- 5:34and I think he likes crabs as well.
- 5:36Anyway, breaking news COMEX just cash settled or rolled OK, That
- 5:42means they bought people out of their futures contracts or they
- 5:46rolled them forward rolled them to the probably I think it's the
- 5:50May contract is the next one another 4523 March silver
- 5:55contracts, which is 200. I'm sorry, 22.6 million oz
- 6:00forward to May in a desperate dodge.
- 6:04That leaves 6200 contracts or 31 million oz still standing for
- 6:10March delivery with registered bolts scraping by at 86 to
- 6:1587,000,000 oz. So the registered bolts, the
- 6:18metal in the COMEX, a vaults, warehouse, whatever you want to
- 6:23call it, not their server farm cause those people are on strike
- 6:26or having their glitching. They're doing all kind of
- 6:29meditation retreat. Anyway.
- 6:31The the amount of silver in the warehouses in the vaults
- 6:35available to satisfy the futures contracts is registered and
- 6:40that's 86,000,000 total. Post March vaults could crater
- 6:44to 55,000,000 oz remaining. But May is the real nuke 77,800
- 6:50contracts or almost 400 million ounces of open interest
- 6:55demanding delivery against a shrinking pile More glitches
- 6:59while I get news for international Stacker.
- 7:01We think we're we're predicting either the servers are going to
- 7:04go on strike at the Comex or they may go on a meditation
- 7:08retreat. When I say servers, I don't mean
- 7:10the people at restaurants. I mean, the computers that are
- 7:13supposed that are making up the make believe price for silver
- 7:16force majeure excuses or straight up COMEX collapse.
- 7:20Could it happen right? Well, they're real good at one
- 7:23thing and that is kicking the can down the road.
- 7:27OK, all right, let's talk about India next.
- 7:31Massive good news. 33 big reasons why we why India is a
- 7:36major driver in the silver and gold price.
- 7:40OK, before we do that, I want to say thank you to 1st Mint for
- 7:43sponsoring Ron's basement. They are the silver exclusive
- 7:47mint in the United States of America.
- 7:49In Las Vegas, NV, they get their silver from First Majestic
- 7:54Silver, who owns First Mint. So the silver goes from the mine
- 7:58to the mint directly to you. We don't have to worry about
- 8:02what's going on with the Comex or the LBMA.
- 8:05Literally with First Mint, right #1 you get a premium retail
- 8:08experience, but you also get the freshest silver on the market.
- 8:13It's just been mine and it's absolutely beautiful.
- 8:16You guys are given so much great positive feedback on 1st Meant.
- 8:20Let me show you their website real quick so you know where to
- 8:23go to check them out. Throw them in the mix next time
- 8:26you're looking to buy some bullion up wrong one.
- 8:29Here we go here we go there's their Las Vegas round.
- 8:32The website isfirstmeant.com. There's the year of the snake.
- 8:37I just love their products and there is a discount code which
- 8:42is VIPRB. Thank you.
- 8:44First meant for sponsoring Ron's basement and making our get
- 8:48together down here with the basement dwellers possible.
- 8:51Let's get that back on the right screen.
- 8:54Hold on here. Uh oh.
- 8:56I'm having some tech issues. What is happening?
- 8:59Hold on, guys. The computer's glitching.
- 9:04Come on. Hold on here.
- 9:08I don't know what's happening. Hold on.
- 9:14There we go and now we're back. Maybe you'd prefer to see me in
- 9:18small form. Look, India is a big, big deal
- 9:21and a massive driver of and we've got three with silver.
- 9:25Unbelievable. I mean, if we had told each
- 9:28other three years ago this was happening, we wouldn't have
- 9:30believed it. Our perspective, even us the
- 9:33long term bowls for silver and gold, our perspective.
- 9:38I mean, in the last six months, it's just exploding how
- 9:42different things are. Let's talk about I3, reasons why
- 9:46things are happening with India, and then we'll recap it all when
- 9:50we get to the end. And here we go.
- 9:54Sorry, guys, the computer is acting very goofy today.
- 9:58This comes from the Silver Academy.
- 10:00India's market regulator just outlawed Western price rigging.
- 10:04A new era for gold and silver begins.
- 10:07OK. And this was the story
- 10:08yesterday. This is reason #1 India market
- 10:12regulators from Reuters change gold, silver valuation for
- 10:16mutual funds. They basically, let's just read
- 10:18this. India's market regulator, the
- 10:21CB, issued groundbreaking circular on February 26th
- 10:25mandating mutual funds and ETFs to value physical gold and
- 10:31silver holdings using the domestic spot prices.
- 10:34That means the prices from the Indian market OK, from April
- 10:391st. So that's 30 days from now
- 10:41scrapping reliance on the LDMA, the London Bullion Market
- 10:46Association benchmarks. OK, let's look I mean look you
- 10:49in the eyes. This is a big deal.
- 10:52This is India, one of the biggest importers of silver in
- 10:55the world, right? Scrapping the LBMA.
- 10:58The LBMA and the COMEX are are losing their grip on the world.
- 11:03We talked about this, and this is only point #1 but we talked
- 11:06about this, right? That, that, that a new pricing
- 11:10mechanism would come into play for silver and gold China in
- 11:15India. And this is proof right now.
- 11:18It's happening right in our very midst, as we are alive right now
- 11:23in the basement together, which is a great thing.
- 11:25Don't forget to subscribe. But that's only point #1 because
- 11:29now there's more news. And then there's a Whopper that
- 11:33even Bloomberg is covering. Hold on, wrong page.
- 11:38Wait a minute. OK, All right.
- 11:42Sorry, guys. The computer's acting funny, and
- 11:44that, in conjunction with my brain can make for some real
- 11:47mayhem. This is the other huge thing
- 11:50that's happening, OK? We're talking about silver being
- 11:54monetized. The RBI, which is the Royal Bank
- 11:57of India, The the, the the Indian central bank.
- 12:02OK, unlock Silver's loan collateral.
- 12:05It's, it's not just saying you can use Silver's loan
- 12:07collateral. Guys, this is monetization of
- 12:11silver. I'll explain why.
- 12:13Coinciding with the SCB announcement Thursday, February
- 12:1626th, the Reserve Bank of India affirms Silver's full
- 12:21monetization via its lending against gold and silver
- 12:25collateral directions 2025. Coincidence.
- 12:30Also effective April 1st and it's not April Fool's Day in
- 12:35India when it comes to silver. Silver is sidelined on shelves
- 12:39or in jewelry jewelry drawers that it can now.
- 12:42It can now be secure loans from banks and NBFC's with limits at
- 12:4810 kilograms for ornaments or 500 gram coins.
- 12:52Bullion excluded. Loan to value ratios tier from
- 12:5585% up to 75% at IBJA or exchange rates.
- 13:01Shifting households from informal lenders to formal
- 13:05finance. This silver revolution could
- 13:08unleash billions. And there's one more point that
- 13:11can unleash billions. Trust me again, even covered by
- 13:14Bloomberg in liquidity, especially in rural India where
- 13:18silver holdings rival gold. Guys, this is the biggest story
- 13:23in silver happening in the next 30 days.
- 13:26Well, one of the biggest, who knows what's going to happen
- 13:29when the Comex glitches again, but nonetheless, this is re
- 13:32monetization of silver. This is silver, right?
- 13:36Like this. I forgot to show you that's one
- 13:38of my favorite pieces of silver. I love that.
- 13:42That's the backside of the Buffalo round from channel
- 13:44sponsor first men. If you're in India and you own
- 13:48this, I'll let you look at it one more second.
- 13:50It's real money. Now you can take it to the bank,
- 13:54OK, and use it as real collateral to get money to
- 13:58exchange it for money. That is monetization of silver
- 14:03in India is a massive the rural farmers in India, OK, I think
- 14:07it's rice that they anyway, I've read this many times when they
- 14:11harvest their crop, right? What do they do?
- 14:14They buy silver, right? They know they don't trust the
- 14:17rupee or whatever it's called the their, their.
- 14:19I think it's the rupee, their currency.
- 14:22They've experienced paper Fiat money going to nothing over and
- 14:26over. They buy silver now instead of
- 14:29just keeping that silver, you know, and they buy ornaments.
- 14:32They can use it as claro. It's the monetization of silver.
- 14:35But wait, there's more. There's even a third reason.
- 14:38Okay, so they've thrown out the LBMA and the COMEX.
- 14:43You got to love that they're monetizing silver.
- 14:47But wait, there's more because then we get this massive
- 14:51breaking story out of India, and we're going to dig into this one
- 14:55just a little bit deeper. But Fred Hickey shared this.
- 14:58New rules come out in India. Under revised rules by the
- 15:02Securities Securities and Exchange Board of India, stock
- 15:08funds can invest the remainder of their portfolios.
- 15:11Wait till you hear about this. Up to 35% of their assets in
- 15:16gold and silver instruments as well as in units of
- 15:21infrastructure investment trust. Up to 35%.
- 15:26OK, now let's look and see if this works.
- 15:31Hold on one second, guys. OK, here we go.
- 15:35We got a couple. 35% of India expands rules for three.
- 15:41Oh, shoot, it's glitching. Hold on here.
- 15:44Stay with me. Here we go.
- 15:48I don't want to vote on that. No, India expands rules for 385
- 15:54billion stock funds to add gold. So let's review and then we're
- 15:59going to see what Bloomberg, Bloomberg, Bloomberg has to say.
- 16:04And unbelievable what's happening.
- 16:08There's a $385 billion worth of stock funds in India that the
- 16:12rules just changed and now up to 35% of that 385 billion can be
- 16:20invested into a silver and gold related instruments.
- 16:25It's, it's crazy guys, it's crazy.
- 16:27Let's look at what Bloomberg said and then we're going to
- 16:29recap it all. Wow, are you feeling warm and
- 16:32fuzzy about silver? And hold on here, Here we go.
- 16:39Here's what Bloomberg had to say.
- 16:42Make sure we got you up. Sorry for the tech issues today,
- 16:49OK, Bloomberg. Bloomberg India expands rules
- 16:53for 385 billion stock funds to add gold.
- 16:57This is mainstream media. More people are hearing about
- 17:00silver and gold. All right, India's market
- 17:03regulators has allowed the country's 385 billion actively
- 17:07managed equity funds to park more of their money in gold and
- 17:11silver, which we just read is up to 35%, giving them greater
- 17:15flexibility at a time when global demand for hard assets is
- 17:22rising. Wow, wow, wow.
- 17:27We're only talking about India. We haven't talked about Jane
- 17:34Street or China or all this other.
- 17:37We're only talking about India. And if my memory serves me
- 17:40correctly, we have three big reasons to be excited about
- 17:43India. They threw out the LBMA, they're
- 17:46re monetizing silver and they change their rules so that
- 17:49they're big stock funds can now invest into silver and gold.
- 17:53Think about it, think about, think about it.
- 17:56I don't mic drop. I don't know what else to say.
- 17:59Thank you India. Oh, by the way, there's 1.4
- 18:01billion billion people in India and their economy is growing at
- 18:06one of the fastest rates of any economy in the world.
- 18:10Next we're going to go to China and get an update.
- 18:13Unbelievable developments and and somewhere else in Asia.
- 18:17Do you think there's some big you're going to be surprised at
- 18:20what we're hearing about the man for physical metal in Asia.
- 18:23Before we do that, thank you to 1st Mining Gold for sponsoring
- 18:26Ron's basement. That's a company whose stock I
- 18:29owned long before they sponsored my channel.
- 18:31I made videos about him six years ago.
- 18:34You can dig them up and laugh at me.
- 18:35You think I'm bad now? I was really bad back then.
- 18:38Anyway, First Mining Gold is a development stage company, gold
- 18:43company with two huge multi million oz projects in Canada,
- 18:47spring poll in Ontario and Duparquet located in Quebec
- 18:52separately. Each of these projects has
- 18:54millions of Oz of gold in the ground.
- 18:58Millions and millions of dollars have been spent over the years
- 19:01to drill and define this gold in the ground.
- 19:03They're working through the development phase.
- 19:06Interesting to note, there's not a lot of big, big gold
- 19:10development stage projects in good jurisdictions and even
- 19:13fewer in Canada. You can learn more about the
- 19:15company at firstmininggold.com. Let's go to China and then we're
- 19:21going to let's look at, let's compare the price of silver in
- 19:25China to the price of silver in the United States of America.
- 19:29But let's go visit with our channel friend.
- 19:33I don't know personally, but I don't know.
- 19:35I've got a strong affection for the Oriental ghost who gives us
- 19:39the Chinese data. Guys, this is the real price of
- 19:43silver. OK, from the Shanghai Gold
- 19:47Exchange and the Shanghai Futures Exchange.
- 19:50Here we are, the Shanghai Gold Exchange 0100 and $1.00 per oz.
- 19:56Here we are at the Shanghai Futures Exchange. $104.00 per
- 20:04oz. Now their market is in a healthy
- 20:07state of contango, meaning the spot price.
- 20:10This is the spot price. Oh and by the way, they do this
- 20:14funny thing on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, you to trade the
- 20:17metal, you have to actually be able to back it up like 100%
- 20:21with real metal. It's not like make believe
- 20:24silver, it's real silver. That's the spot price of silver.
- 20:27That's their futures price. Let's compare, excuse me, their
- 20:32futures price one O 452 to this. What a joke.
- 20:41Oh my gosh, This is the Comex price 4 silver and make sure we
- 20:47got you on the right screen, which we do.
- 20:50So they're at one O 4 and we are at $93 at the Comex.
- 20:59Don't forget, right, They may be going on a meditation break or a
- 21:03strike or I don't know, maybe a herd of wild Buffalo are going
- 21:08to invade the data processing center at the Comex.
- 21:12Who knows what will happen next? Nonetheless, what I'd like to
- 21:15point out to you is that in the United States of America, the
- 21:19futures price for silver is approximately or a little more
- 21:24than $10 per oz less. Now what's also interesting to
- 21:28note is that we have a $93.43 futures price, which means our
- 21:33spot price should be lower than that.
- 21:37But what we see is it's right about the same $93.62.
- 21:44This is the world spot price, OK, the LBMA, the London Bullion
- 21:51Market Association and here's our price right here.
- 21:55And by the way, the people in India aren't going to pay
- 21:57attention to this 30 days from now.
- 21:59They know that it's make believe so that here's what's
- 22:03interesting, here's what's interesting.
- 22:08So in China they have a much higher price and a much
- 22:12healthier market. Think about that, about $10 per
- 22:15oz more per oz or $7.00 on the spot price, but much healthier
- 22:21because their market is in what is normal in any commodity
- 22:24market, a state of contango, meaning the spot price is lower
- 22:28than the futures price in the United States.
- 22:31We have an artificially low in the West, in London, in the
- 22:34United States, and artificially lower price.
- 22:38And at the same time, we've often been back in a state of
- 22:41backwardation, which means the spot price is higher than the
- 22:44futures price. Right now, they're about equal.
- 22:47We're in a state of backward tango, which is a term that
- 22:50we've created down here in the basement, kind of like the D
- 22:54basement trade that everybody talks about now that we created
- 22:57the D basement trade. Anyway, think about this.
- 23:00This is huge, OK? The fact that, that the, that,
- 23:05that the futures price on the LBMA and the spot price are
- 23:08about the same. It's, it's because it's, it's,
- 23:11it doesn't matter. It's all fantasy.
- 23:15Does that make sense? Right.
- 23:16Like, who cares? Like, they can make it whatever
- 23:18they want. And the fact that these prizes
- 23:20are about equal, I think leads more credibility to the fact
- 23:24that we are living in an absolute fantasy world.
- 23:27What if you're from Turkey? You want to hear if you're from
- 23:30Turkey, Silver and gold saved you.
- 23:34OK, Everybody worries about currency collapse and blah,
- 23:36blah. And, you know, look, I am not a
- 23:38big fan of the US dollar, no doubt about it.
- 23:42I love my country. I love what the Founding fathers
- 23:44laid out. I'm not happy with what's
- 23:47happened over the last 50 years. I digress.
- 23:49And the value of the US dollar has gone down.
- 23:53But what about if you lived in Turkey?
- 23:55This shows us in no uncertain terms.
- 23:58Hold on here. See if I got the right thing up.
- 24:02Nope. Hold on.
- 24:03Oh, wait. Before I forget.
- 24:04OK, well, let's go there first, and then we'll go back to
- 24:07another. I got more, more breaking news
- 24:09out of Asia, but if you lived in Turkey, right, the the currency
- 24:14is just done. Absolutely horrible.
- 24:17Let's go down here and I'm sharing the wrong screen.
- 24:20Now we're on the right screen. Sorry about that guys.
- 24:23Let's go down here. This shows the value of the
- 24:26Turkish lira in U.S. dollars. What this shows us is something
- 24:31very important to the five year chart.
- 24:33Five years ago, the Turkish currency was worth $0.15.
- 24:38Today it's worth $0.02. You can see in the upper left
- 24:42corner, as you can see, the value of their currency went
- 24:46down significantly, even when compared to the US dollar, which
- 24:50also went down. So it really went down more and
- 24:53more and more. The point I want to make for you
- 24:55here is to show you that people in Turkey and this isn't just
- 25:00look, you're no Turkey and we do have some people that join us
- 25:03from Turkey, which is awesome. But but but the point here is
- 25:08this. When you look at the silver
- 25:10price over periods of time and the gold price, look at this
- 25:15chart right here of the silver price, what it's done in Turkey.
- 25:20Look at the look at the chart of the gold price.
- 25:23That's five years. OK, you may not be able to see
- 25:26that real clearly, but that's what the gold price did.
- 25:30This is the silver price, right? We obviously had a big bump up.
- 25:33So the point is gold price, the gold price if we go back five
- 25:38years in Turkey went up by 1700%.
- 25:45That's 17 X OK. So despite what happened to
- 25:50their currency, the gold price did well.
- 25:53What about silver, you might ask?
- 25:54Well, on a five year period it went up 1873%.
- 26:01So almost 19 X people in Turkey who stored their wealth in
- 26:09Turkish. I think it's lira.
- 26:10Well, I hope I'm not screwing that one up.
- 26:14People who stored their in the Turkish currency, which I think
- 26:17is called lira, they lost their turkeys, their butts.
- 26:21They lost their. You know what's OK?
- 26:23People in Turkey who five years ago owned silver and gold did
- 26:28fine. They probably at minimum
- 26:31maintained their standard of living and I would say probably
- 26:35even increase their standard of living.
- 26:37OK, let's move on. Here we got a couple funny
- 26:41things to talk about. Before I do that, please don't
- 26:43forget Dirty Man Safe. If you're looking for a fun way
- 26:48to store things right and effective way to store things,
- 26:52check out Dirty Man Safe. And don't forget there's a
- 26:54discount code Ron 10. You bury these in the ground.
- 26:59You can check it out at their website.
- 27:01That comes with a sleeve and a cap.
- 27:03And then this goes down in there and these, I mean, they're super
- 27:06cool. When they first sent this to me,
- 27:08I was like, it's, it's actually very cool, very robust.
- 27:11The bottom is all sealed up. It screws off.
- 27:14And then you can put whatever you want in there.
- 27:16And I don't know what you might want to put.
- 27:18I've got a little plastic Unicorn inside mine, but maybe
- 27:21you've got something made out of metal that you might want to
- 27:24bury. Don't forget, right?
- 27:25You know, maybe maybe you have a safe at your house.
- 27:27Maybe you have a safety deposit box.
- 27:29I don't know what you have. None of my business.
- 27:31But burying things in the ground has been proven over the
- 27:35centuries to be one of the very safest places to keep valuables.
- 27:40Think about the pirates are. OK.
- 27:44All right, let's move on. Oh, my gosh, we got a lot more
- 27:47to cover. Well, let's look at something
- 27:48funny. And then we're going to look at
- 27:50a visual for Silver that is going to knock our socks off.
- 27:54And let's go here. Here we go.
- 27:59Silver trade shared this one. It's a classic.
- 28:03Hold on. OK, When the memes have more
- 28:06truth than the CME Group official statements.
- 28:10There's a there's a doctor. What's his name?
- 28:13Doctor Doom. I forget.
- 28:14Anyway, he's calling on the red phone.
- 28:17Silver's at $91.00 again. OK.
- 28:21And then there's the person on the other side.
- 28:24Time to glitch the Comex. Yeah, the Comex.
- 28:27I don't know. They may go out of.
- 28:28I'm thinking a herd of wild Buffalo invading the Comex
- 28:32server farm might be the next reason why they need to shut
- 28:35down in this guys. Right.
- 28:38This says it all, and unfortunately it may be a little
- 28:42blurry on your screen, but what it says is this all above
- 28:46ground, all above ground investment silver worldwide in
- 28:53this little silver Ignot little silver chunk, right, represents
- 29:00all the silver investable silver in the world, right?
- 29:04There's the what? Empire State Building, there's
- 29:07the US Capitol. It barely takes up what, maybe
- 29:101/3 of the US Capitol. The point here is this, and we
- 29:14don't, you know, we look, I guess we take for granted that
- 29:17we understand. Maybe we don't realize, and
- 29:19maybe it's a good time right now for us to remember the
- 29:21fundamentals about silver, one of which is the amount of silver
- 29:26available on this planet, period is limited, finite, right?
- 29:32There's it. It takes millions and billions
- 29:34of years for silver to be created.
- 29:36There's only so much silver. You can't print silver.
- 29:41You can print some other things. OK.
- 29:46And there's only so much that's been dug up and it is above
- 29:49ground and we know that the world is chewing through it,
- 29:52right? We call it the silver rainy day
- 29:55fund That that that chunk of silver that you just looked at,
- 29:58that's the silver rainy day fund, right?
- 30:01It's the extra, the excess that's been mined that has not
- 30:04been consumed yet. Setting aside the fact that
- 30:07silver is a monetary metal, just from an industrial perspective,
- 30:12think of that, that Ignot in every year, a chunk is coming
- 30:15out. A chunk is coming out.
- 30:16UBS is telling us that they think that the silver deficit
- 30:20this year could be as high as 300 million oz, which would be
- 30:24another record for silver. And I almost forgot, somebody
- 30:28wants to say hi to you guys here in one second, OK.
- 30:31So don't forget, there's only so much silver on the planet.
- 30:34There's only so much silver above ground, and that silver
- 30:38above ground is being like Pac-Man chewed at every single
- 30:42day. Does that explain why there's a
- 30:45physical driven demand for silver right now?
- 30:48You bet there is, right? Does that explain why?
- 30:51And I apologize to you, it's been about 8 days since he said
- 30:56hello. Everybody's asking about him.
- 30:58He's doing great. He's happy again.
- 31:01For those of you who are new, this is Smitty the Silver Bear.
- 31:05That's a blindfold that he now wears as a, what do you call
- 31:08that? I don't know, like a like a Girl
- 31:10Scout thing where you put your badges.
- 31:12Anyway, that used to be on his blindfold.
- 31:14When we took his blindfold off, when we hit $85 silver, we
- 31:19discovered he actually has two 110th oz silver coins, Great UK
- 31:25Britannias as eyes. And he's telling us he doesn't
- 31:29want that blindfold to go back on.
- 31:31On a day like today when we're having good times in the silver
- 31:34market, it doesn't look like it will be the case.
- 31:38All right, guys, thank you. Hold on a second here.
- 31:43Yep, we're good. OK, Thank you.
- 31:45This feels weird having him right next to me.
- 31:47You're the most important part of the show.
- 31:49You're important to a lot of people.
- 31:51OK. Please take care of yourself.
- 31:53Thanks for joining us down here in the basement.
- 31:55Be prepared for volatility warning, right?
- 31:59And remember, I'm not a financial advisor.
- 32:01I speak my truth. But please always be responsible
- 32:04with anything you do with any of your money and be prepared for
- 32:07some volatility to the upside. Woo Hoo.
- 32:10OK. But volatility does go both
- 32:13ways. I believe wholeheartedly that
- 32:15and for just continued good times when I think about the
- 32:19years to come for the precious metals, most important, take
- 32:22care of yourself, OK? Be good and I will see you.
- 32:26Yeah, I see you. I'm going to see you next time.
- 32:29Bye. Bye.
