- 0:01Is there a silver shortage in Texas?
- 0:04Is there a silver shortage in the United States?
- 0:07Is there a silver shortage on a worldwide basis?
- 0:11I think you know the answer to that question, but we're going
- 0:14to dive in to some recent messages that I've been
- 0:18receiving regarding is there an issue in Texas right now with
- 0:22silver or is it just a particular type of silver?
- 0:26And does that particular type of silver shortage, does that
- 0:29overlay the entire country? We know a couple things about
- 0:34our friend Silver and I know a couple things about you, my
- 0:37friend as well, who are joining me.
- 0:39You are joining me right now in the basement.
- 0:42It's a big honor. You're important, you're
- 0:44special, your mommy loves you. You got friends, family, and
- 0:47you're part of the basement group.
- 0:49When you're here, you're a basement dweller.
- 0:51So thank you for being here. Please subscribe to the channel,
- 0:56give the video a thumbs up. We can get the word out to more
- 0:59and more people and super chats are always super appreciated.
- 1:04Go a long way to help support the family.
- 1:06Now what do we know about Silver?
- 1:08Silver improves everything that it touches.
- 1:14Think about that for a minute, right?
- 1:16It improves electrical conductivity.
- 1:18It improves thermal conductivity.
- 1:21It improves batteries. What did we recently hear about
- 1:24Samsung and a new solid-state battery that set the
- 1:29revolutionize the electric vehicle world.
- 1:32It kills germs. Silver is everything OK?
- 1:35And we're running out of it. You know the data.
- 1:40I know the data. We're running out of silver
- 1:43right now. There are no new silver mines.
- 1:47I misspoke. There's very few new silver
- 1:50mines coming online. There's very few silver
- 1:54exploration or development projects.
- 1:58That's the first stage. OK, sure.
- 2:01You can think about silver mines.
- 2:03Hekla Mining, Fortuna Mining, who happens to be a sponsor of
- 2:06Ron's Basement, they have silver mines in Peru and Mexico.
- 2:10You can think about these big mining companies, but before
- 2:13there's a mine, before they can pull silver out of the ground,
- 2:17there are exploration companies and there are development
- 2:22companies. Once they explore and they find
- 2:24the silver, which hardly nobody's doing, next they have
- 2:27to develop it, which takes, what, 10-15 years to go through
- 2:32the permitting process, if they even find some silver, then they
- 2:36have to spend 10 or 15 years trying to get a permit.
- 2:40And you know what's going on in Mexico night?
- 2:43The Mexican government is making it increasingly more difficult
- 2:48for any type of new silver project to be permitted or
- 2:52built. That's what's going on.
- 2:54And on top of that, we know 75% of the world, silver comes as a
- 3:01byproduct, right? An afterthought from base metal
- 3:05mining, mining for things like zinc and lead.
- 3:08And in that area, there are fewer and fewer mines being
- 3:12built. And on top of it all, this is
- 3:13not a mining show. But you know, we're in the
- 3:16silver and gold. So we think we need to keep
- 3:19abreast of the mining sector because that's where the supply
- 3:24comes from. It just doesn't magically appear
- 3:27right this somebody spent a lot of time and a lot of energy to
- 3:33get this beautiful one ounce of silver out of the ground in the
- 3:40supply pipeline is running dry. OK, Now one more final very
- 3:48interesting point regarding the fact that 75% of the world's
- 3:52silver is a by product from copper mining, zinc mining, that
- 3:56type of thing. Those metals #1 there's also
- 4:00very little development stage work going on for those metals.
- 4:04But the newer deposits in particular with copper, right,
- 4:07all the easy copper's been found.
- 4:09The new copper deposits are much deeper in the earth.
- 4:12And I heard Ross Beatty himself say this.
- 4:16The new copper deposits don't have as much silver coexistent
- 4:21with the copper guys. When it comes to silver, it's
- 4:24the new oil. Our friend Pierce in Limerick,
- 4:28Ireland, I believe, coined that phrase.
- 4:31OK, And there's a lot of oil in Texas, but are they missing
- 4:35silver? Let's take a look at a couple
- 4:37comments that I've been receiving lately.
- 4:39And by the way, I want you to leave a comment.
- 4:42That's how we learn is from each other.
- 4:44We're going to share a viewer comment right now.
- 4:46Your comment, right, could be featured here in Ron's basement.
- 4:50You can be a part of the team. We want you here.
- 4:52You're welcome here. We want you to subscribe.
- 4:55And after you subscribe, yes, you can leave a comment and
- 4:58thank you for that super chat from our friend.
- 5:02Hold on here, Ramos Nerferton from Switzerland.
- 5:06Thank you, my friend. Hey, Switzerland, UBS right that
- 5:10we talked about this yesterday. The world's one of the world's
- 5:13biggest banks, UBS talking about what, 27, twenty $800 gold.
- 5:18Thank you, Ramos. Thank you and welcome to the
- 5:20basement guys. We've got people all over the
- 5:22world think about that. This is not a Saint Louis thing.
- 5:28I'm in Saint Louis. Where are you right now?
- 5:30Put it in the comments. We're all over the world and
- 5:34that's a big deal. We got a guy in a basement.
- 5:38Maybe he's in his basement. I don't know that for sure.
- 5:41But figuratively speaking, all of our basements are coming
- 5:44together. We'd love to talk about silver
- 5:46and gold. Let's get to let's go to Texas.
- 5:49Let's go to Texas. And by the way, what you see on
- 5:53the screen will be given away this Saturday, August 31st.
- 5:58Unfortunately, due to regulations, it's only open to
- 6:01U.S. citizens, but it's 16 ounces of silver donated from
- 6:06our friends at Pembacs that will be given away during the 10 AM
- 6:09live stream on Saturday. There's a a link in the
- 6:13description of this video that will help you explain to you
- 6:17very simply how how you can enter into that giveaway.
- 6:22It'll be this Saturday, August 31st and it will be at the 10:00
- 6:26AM. This was from yesterday.
- 6:28This guy says he lives outside Dallas Fort Worth area.
- 6:31He's been to a bunch of coin shops and he says he's finding
- 6:35that there's basically a, a limited supply, let's say of
- 6:41silver that's outside Dallas Fort Worth.
- 6:43We talked about this yesterday. Then I received this one he
- 6:47said. Nice comment.
- 6:48I live outside of Austin, TX in my local in my local coin shop.
- 6:56Never called me back after leaving a message of what I was
- 7:00looking for. That's the first time ever they
- 7:02never called me back. That tells me everything I need
- 7:05to know right there. It's starting to become a thing
- 7:08now. Never in my life would I ever
- 7:10see this. I was just a regular silver coin
- 7:13collector for years now. This is crazy and let's see our
- 7:18next comment. OK, we're going to talk about
- 7:21this later on, a recurring fear that a lot of you silver
- 7:25stackers have. But what we're hearing guys, is
- 7:28this OK? There is.
- 7:30I, I checked with Jake from Jake's Custom Parts last night,
- 7:33who who's knows people in Texas, there's silver in Texas, there's
- 7:38a lot of oil, there is silver in Texas.
- 7:42OK, number one. But what we're hearing and I
- 7:45heard this from coin shop Chris in a video he put out yesterday.
- 7:48And what we're hearing, I believe one of the a couple
- 7:51dealers down in, in the Southern United States is that there is
- 7:55an increasing shortage of 90% silver or an increasing wave of
- 8:01demand, which could lead to a shortage for 90% silver, junk
- 8:06silver, right? This stuff which we love, this
- 8:10came from Big 10 to Silvershire also, right?
- 8:13This is a pre 1964 silver for some reason that is becoming
- 8:19very popular and very difficult to acquire.
- 8:22So we're going to keep an eye on this trend.
- 8:26Now what we're, what we're also hearing and this all plays in
- 8:30together for a silver shortage is that India and China new new
- 8:35data came out about China. They're importing like twice as
- 8:39much silver per month. The the July data was the latest
- 8:43that I saw. I think it was.
- 8:46I'm on, wait a minute for it was double.
- 8:49I can tell you that kilograms, I don't know how many ounces.
- 8:52I don't even want to try to try to calculate it.
- 8:55We also know that India is set to import somewhere between 200
- 8:59million and 250 million ounces of silver this year.
- 9:04Bear in mind the entire mining sector will produce this year
- 9:09will produce 800 million ounces of silver and India is on track
- 9:14to import 25% of it. Think about this guys.
- 9:19We are in a new world. We are in.
- 9:21Think about back to the we're going to talk about $50 silver
- 9:24because we get this question from you all the time.
- 9:27Let me pull it up and then let's talk about $50 silver and why
- 9:31that's so important. This is from Xandan Shaw.
- 9:35Suppose I have 10 kilograms, 10 kilograms of silver and the
- 9:40price shot to $50.00 an ounce. Where do I sell it?
- 9:43Who will buy it? OK, We're going to get into
- 9:47that. That's such a recurring
- 9:49question, but I guess we need to keep talking about it.
- 9:52But $50 silver that we had back in 1980 and 1980 dollars, India
- 9:59and China were not even on the map when it came to economics.
- 10:03If they were a fraction of what they are now, we are in a whole
- 10:07whole new world. Who's going to buy that $50
- 10:11silver? OK, think about it.
- 10:14You own some silver, right? You own some gold as well.
- 10:18Gee, I wonder if when gold was $1200 an ounce not too long ago,
- 10:22people were saying if gold ever goes to 2500, who would buy it?
- 10:27What do you think? There's people willing to buy
- 10:29gold right now for $2500. Let's go check.
- 10:33Let's go check and then we'll talk about why you won't have to
- 10:36worry a lick about selling your silver at $50.
- 10:41Are you are you wondering about that?
- 10:43Are you worried about that? I'm going to set all your fears
- 10:45at ease, but let's go check on let's go check and see if
- 10:49there's anybody willing to buy gold for $2500.
- 10:53We're going to go out to pin backs channel sponsor here and
- 10:57we have gold. Oh, the gold current gold price
- 11:002000. Let's let's update it.
- 11:02Everybody take a deep breath, $2516 per oz gold, silver
- 11:11$30.01. Man we are on a fight for $30.00
- 11:14with silver. Do you feel it?
- 11:16Silver stackers? I, I resend what I've said over
- 11:20the last few months, the $3234 range, if we can stay above 30,
- 11:25if we can continue to build this base at 30, there's no
- 11:28guarantees. We're going to be off to the
- 11:30races. We are going to be off to the
- 11:32races. But I'll tell you, we'll buy
- 11:34gold for 2500 right now. A lot of people everywhere, all
- 11:39over OK, the Comex will buy it, the LBMA will buy it.
- 11:44I guarantee you the Chinese people will gladly buy your
- 11:48gold. But so remember when we talk
- 11:50about $50 silver and people are concerned about who would buy
- 11:55it, let me first say thank you to channel sponsor Pembex.
- 12:01We are here on their website. Yes, we are Pi, MB, EX.
- 12:07If you want to get your hands on some $30 silver right now,
- 12:11that's the roughly the spot price.
- 12:13Want to buy silver at that spot price?
- 12:15Just do yourself a favor, compare what PMBEX can do for
- 12:19you to the other big online bullion dealers.
- 12:22Really, I don't need to say much else, but I can tell you that
- 12:25I've worked with PMBEX over the last year.
- 12:28Plus on a personal basis, I've had great experience.
- 12:31You know, I'm very frugal. I'm very, I always want to get
- 12:35good value and I'm always getting what I feel is the best
- 12:39value. With Pymbez, it's the magic
- 12:42combination of ultra competitive pricing, great selection and a
- 12:46company, and this is very important, a company that I
- 12:49really can trust. I really, I know in my heart and
- 12:53I feel 100 percent, 100% confident recommending to you
- 12:58to, to consider them OK to give them a chance because I know
- 13:03that they are a great group of people and a great reputable
- 13:06company. If you ever please, please, I'm
- 13:10going to beg you. If only one person benefits from
- 13:13this next message, it's worth me taking 20 seconds to say it.
- 13:17If you ever go ever decide that you want to convert part or all
- 13:21of an IRA into precious metals, take your time.
- 13:25Don't get high pressured by anyone.
- 13:27Please. Please remember what I just
- 13:30said. Don't get high pressured by
- 13:33anyone. Shop around and please consider
- 13:37what pin backs can do for you with an IRA conversion as well.
- 13:41I think you'll find that they can get you an extraordinary
- 13:45more amount of actual ounces of silver and gold as compared to
- 13:49some of the other options out there, but you need to find that
- 13:52out for yourself. So $50 silver, everybody's,
- 13:55everybody's worried. I could never sell my silver at
- 13:59$50. I remember back when silver was
- 14:02$15.00 an ounce. And you know what everybody was
- 14:05saying back then, What if silver ever goes to 30?
- 14:09Who's going to buy my silver? Well, guess what, guys?
- 14:12We're at 30 and there's a lot of people you would gladly buy your
- 14:18silver right now for $30 per oz. It's a market.
- 14:23The only way that silver's gonna get the $50.00 an ounce is if
- 14:28people are buying it at $50 per oz.
- 14:31Think about it. It's a market.
- 14:33If nobody's buying it at 50 or if it goes to 60 and nobody's
- 14:38willing to pay 60 to buy silver, well then it'll drop to 55, OK.
- 14:43And if people are willing to buy it at 55, that's where the price
- 14:46will stay. And if more people want to buy
- 14:48it, then the price will go back up to 60.
- 14:51But if nobody wants to buy it up there and then nobody wants to
- 14:54buy it at 55, then it'll go to 50.
- 14:56That's the way that markets work.
- 14:58OK. So don't worry about being able
- 15:02to and you don't really want to cash your just my opinion.
- 15:05You don't really want to cash your silver in any way.
- 15:09You want to convert it into another real asset.
- 15:13You don't want to turn. Imagine it's a miracle.
- 15:16Are you ready for a little? Are you ready for some miracles?
- 15:18OK, this is a miracle to me. Unbelievable that you can
- 15:23convert paper into real, legitimate metal.
- 15:29Look how pretty that is, how real that is.
- 15:31Trust me, it's pretty, right? You can convert this into this.
- 15:35Do you want to con? Do you?
- 15:36Would you want to trade this? You do not want to trade this
- 15:41for this unless you have a bill to pay, and I'd never recommend
- 15:45that you invest in physical silver with money that you think
- 15:48you'll need within a relatively short time frame.
- 15:52You want to at. The only thing you want to do
- 15:54with this, OK is convert it into another real asset, right?
- 16:01Maybe a stock in a company that owns other real assets, Oil
- 16:06fields, farmland, gold mines, silver mines, whatever the case
- 16:11may be right but you don't want. Or maybe you can convert this
- 16:15into gold or platinum or some other real asset.
- 16:20You don't want to convert it into paper.
- 16:23No, no no no no. OK if coin shops.
- 16:27This is interesting. Someone brought this to my
- 16:30attention. Let's say silver goes to $65 per
- 16:34oz and the coin shops are like Oh no, no more.
- 16:37Well, I don't want to buy it. I won't buy it.
- 16:38I'm not buying not buying. If the coin shops stop buying
- 16:43OK, or the retail are the are the the people that are that are
- 16:48that are that wholesale the metals stop buying.
- 16:51That will further decrease the amount of supply on the market.
- 16:56And wouldn't that only drive the price higher?
- 17:00Yes, it would, right, If there's less supply.
- 17:03So if we do get into a situation where people were in and it's a
- 17:07market, right, not everybody's going to stop, but but a
- 17:10percentage of the buyers stop buying silver, wouldn't that
- 17:14create a situation where there's less supply?
- 17:18And when there's less supply, the only way to fix that price
- 17:23fixes everything in markets. Silver is a market, Yeah, the
- 17:29COMEX is over there messing with a little bit over the years.
- 17:33But at the end of the day, as we are talking about silver and
- 17:37gold, we're going to hone in on silver as one of the oldest
- 17:41markets in the world, oldest and biggest, right, spread out more
- 17:47around the world than anywhere. Consider the fact right that the
- 17:53silver market, I think is probably one of the biggest
- 17:55markets in the world. If you talk about the number,
- 17:59sheer number of participants that participate in the silver
- 18:04market, there are hundreds of millions of market participants
- 18:10in India alone. Farmers buy silver every year.
- 18:14There are probably hundreds of millions of participants in the
- 18:17silver market in China right now because the Chinese government
- 18:21is encouraging the Chinese citizenry to buy silver.
- 18:26How many do you think millions are in the United States market?
- 18:28Maybe 5 million. There's all different estimates.
- 18:32OK, maybe 10 million, maybe 2 million, who knows?
- 18:35But the, the, the fact remains that if you are going to measure
- 18:39a market by sheer number of, of market participants, I'm I, I'm,
- 18:44I'm challenged to think of any other market that has so many
- 18:49participants. OK, so if those coin shops stop
- 18:53buying and people still want silver, right, the wholesalers
- 18:57stop buying, the supply is going to go down, then the price will
- 19:01go up. And then you know what those
- 19:02wholesalers will say? They'll say, you know what, we
- 19:06changed our mind. We think we'll buy your silver
- 19:09now, even at $70.00 per oz. All right.
- 19:17We just talked about how the silver market is probably bigger
- 19:20than any other market. But on top of that, the other
- 19:25critical thing for us to remember is it's also very
- 19:29delicate and very sensitive, OK? I've shared with you, I've
- 19:34opened my heart and told you that I'm a very delicate,
- 19:37sensitive person. But I think the silver market
- 19:40has me beat, OK? Because when the rush of money
- 19:44does come in, silver has a silver's like the, the, the,
- 19:50the, the, the little sister or little brother that throws hissy
- 19:54fits. The silver market will throw a
- 19:56hissy fit. And when the silver market
- 19:59throws a hissy fit, that's why it moves so explosively.
- 20:06Anyone who's been involved in. Right, Or has observed the
- 20:12silver market over the decades will tell you when silver moves,
- 20:18it just doesn't make little moves, right?
- 20:20It doesn't just move out of mom and Dad's house.
- 20:23It moves out of Mom and Dad's house and moves 3000 miles
- 20:26across the country or around the world, around the world.
- 20:31Silver. Right.
- 20:32Silver moves out of the house in Saint Louis with Mom and Dad and
- 20:36moves to Rome, Italy and does it unexpectedly?
- 20:40Does it suddenly all of a sudden, like did you hear?
- 20:42Did you hear what silver did? Yeah.
- 20:44Silver took off. OK.
- 20:46That's the silver market. It is.
- 20:49It is while it is while it is the biggest market in the world,
- 20:54in my opinion. And prove me wrong.
- 20:57I could definitely be wrong about that.
- 20:58So please, you're welcome to prove me wrong, but I believe
- 21:01it's the biggest when it comes to participants around the
- 21:04world. It's also from a Fiat Unicorn
- 21:08fart dust, right? This stuff.
- 21:11Look what's floating across the screen, basement dwellers.
- 21:14It's also from a dollar perspective, very small.
- 21:19I mean, what is it? I mean, it's like the, the, the
- 21:21total. I mean, to buy all the world's
- 21:24production of silver, let's say a billion oz a year will be
- 21:29produced this year would take about $30 billion.
- 21:33OK, That's, that's like a pimple on the butt of Apple Computer or
- 21:38Samsung Electronics. I mean some of these, some, a
- 21:41lot of publicly traded companies in the United States are bigger
- 21:46than the entire value of the silver market.
- 21:49I mean, we have companies that could buy up the entire year's
- 21:53worth of silver. So it can move hugely because
- 21:57while it's thinly spread out with a record number of
- 22:01participants, the actual dollar value when those dollars come
- 22:04back in. And let me show you visually
- 22:07what I mean by that. Let's go take a look at this.
- 22:16That's not it. That's the cup and handle.
- 22:18Oh my gosh, right. The the biggest, strongest chart
- 22:22pattern in the history of the world, they say this is this is
- 22:27not what we were going to talk about.
- 22:28We're going to talk about, OK, that right there that you're
- 22:31looking at the cup and handle and silver.
- 22:34People are calling it like in the history of economics and the
- 22:40history of money and the history of markets, probably the most
- 22:44appropriate word. That is the most beautiful, epic
- 22:50textbook cup and handle pattern that the world has ever seen.
- 22:54Now, don't forget, you look at the cup, right, 1980 to 2011.
- 22:58You look at the handle which we're in now, that handle
- 23:02extends above $50.00 and yes, goes to $100 or higher per
- 23:06month. Now back to why there's another
- 23:10for those of you that didn't visualize the last one.
- 23:12There's the cup and there's the handle.
- 23:15Little bit better representation we're going to go through there.
- 23:18That was the wedgie and silver. There's Gold Cup and handle
- 23:23dollar. There's the price of silver in
- 23:24Argentina. Oh, did you notice that the
- 23:26price of silver in Argentina is up?
- 23:28Like, I don't know, 28 million percent?
- 23:33There we are. OK, guys, This is why this is
- 23:38something that we, we cannot forget about.
- 23:41We need to review on a weekly basis, Gold and silver.
- 23:45This is extras pyramid. John Extra, who worked for the
- 23:47New York Fed, only died about, I don't know, 20 or 25 years ago.
- 23:51He put this together. He, in this, somebody from the
- 23:55Fed claimed that the silver and gold were the base of all
- 23:59monies. Everything above silver and
- 24:02gold, starting with the green base money, bank money, bonds,
- 24:05corporate bonds, debt, all of that is debt.
- 24:09Everything above gold and silver is synthetic.
- 24:12It's debt. It's all make believe, OK?
- 24:15It's all based on confidence in a con game.
- 24:19So when just a little bit of this money, right?
- 24:21And I would even include the stock market, the stock market's
- 24:24the biggest con Ponzi scheme going right now with or what do
- 24:28they call that institutional trading, like the index funds,
- 24:32the ETS that just track the the the blindly track the nobody,
- 24:37Nobody really does any research. It's just like, I'm going to buy
- 24:40that and it'll go up and I'll sell it to somebody else.
- 24:43When just a little bit the real estate market, which I won't
- 24:46really put up there, but you could put the real estate that
- 24:49one a little tiny hair, 1% if 1% of all of that above right base
- 24:56money, bank money, corporate debt, corporate municipal debt,
- 25:02all of that derivatives. This one even has crypto in it.
- 25:06Don't get mad at me. I'm just going to leave that
- 25:08subject alone. But nonetheless, if 1% of that
- 25:11money were to leave and look for a new home, it's going to go to
- 25:15gold and silver and it's going to have an impact on the gold
- 25:18and silver market like you have never, ever, ever seen before.
- 25:24OK, let's go check out. Let's go check out a great tweet
- 25:34from Peter Sweena. Peter Spena.
- 25:37I'm sorry, that's Sweena Spena. He's the guy that runs gold seek
- 25:42silverseek.com. He's very well super respected
- 25:46smart guy. He brought up a great point
- 25:48buying silver here. OK, right now if you and I buy
- 25:51silver even at $30 while gold is soaring past 2500 is like
- 25:58getting to buy gold when it was 1000 or 1500 per oz.
- 26:03What he is saying, OK, and he's he's a both a gold and a silver
- 26:06guy is if you look at this chart from goldseek.com, the gold to
- 26:12silver ratio still as of his tweet was at 85 S.
- 26:18Our ability from a gold to silver relationship,
- 26:22historically speaking, in his opinion, the ability to buy
- 26:26silver today at $30 is very similar to being able to buy
- 26:31silver, gold today at 1000 to 1500 per oz.
- 26:37OK, hey gold, let's switch back to gold here for a second.
- 26:43It's getting no attention, so we need to bring it to our
- 26:46attention. The gold price.
- 26:47Last week the spot price closed at another all time high.
- 26:52Yesterday the gold spot price closed at another all time high.
- 26:57If you heard, what does this tell us when the smartest guys
- 27:01in the room are buying gold? Yeah, we know the central banks,
- 27:04the insiders, the people that rule the monetary world, That's
- 27:07not what we're talking about. Hedge funds are now more net
- 27:11long on gold. Hedge funds, that's where you
- 27:14got to be really rich to invest in a hedge fund.
- 27:17All right? Hedge funds are now more net
- 27:20long gold than any other time since 2020.
- 27:24Since when the Federal Reserve, like did these emergency rate
- 27:28cuts? What is that telling us?
- 27:31What does it tell us when we hear Peter Spina point out the
- 27:35fact that buying silver right now, it's like getting to buy
- 27:39that gold at 1000 to $1500 per oz.
- 27:43All right, Asia led the charge. That's a fact.
- 27:47OK, The Asians led the charge this year in the silver and gold
- 27:51market. I was listening to Randy
- 27:54Smallwood, the guy that runs wheat and precious metals.
- 27:57He's also was the head of the World Gold Council pointed out
- 28:01something that most of us probably haven't thought about.
- 28:05But earlier this year, Asia led the charge in the precious
- 28:08metals. But guess what?
- 28:10Guess who's catching on now? It's the Western investor
- 28:13starting to show up. We have, we have, we just got
- 28:16this information breaking news that the hedge funds are now
- 28:20more net long on gold and we also know that ETF inflows are
- 28:25up and the mining stocks are sharding starting.
- 28:32We don't chart here in the basement starting to show signs
- 28:38of life. It's happening.
- 28:41Think about this, what is it telling us?
- 28:43We might be, you might be wondering like, oh, we're gold
- 28:47because there's a possibility that gold and silver could go
- 28:49down through the end of the year.
- 28:51Always a possibility, right? I don't think it will.
- 28:54I think we're going to see 44 dollars silver by Christmas.
- 28:57I've made that prediction. I'll stand by that prediction.
- 29:01But what is it telling us now that we have the hedge funds
- 29:05buying that long and on top of that we have ETF inflows in the
- 29:10West? That means more money going into
- 29:15the silver and gold ETFs. That means those ETFs need to
- 29:20buy physical gold and silver. That is if the good people at
- 29:25BlackRock that run them do what they purport that they do in
- 29:30their communications with their investors, that they actually
- 29:32use that money to buy physical metal.
- 29:35None the less, it's a great sign that we have ETF inflows going
- 29:39on right now. And it all comes down to the
- 29:43dollar. This is fascinating.
- 29:45This is interesting. A new, a new concept for us to
- 29:47think about is precious metals investors, right?
- 29:50The new little light bulb to add to the growing list of light
- 29:54bulbs that you have going on in your in your mind.
- 29:57OK. It comes down to the dollar,
- 29:59because we measure gold in in dollars and the dollar is weak,
- 30:04the dollar is weakening. We talked about this from 2001
- 30:08to 2011. The dollar went down in value.
- 30:12The dollar's in the market, it goes up and down, right?
- 30:15In the world forex markets, the dollar goes up and down, period.
- 30:20The dollar's going down. We measure the price of metals
- 30:24in dollars and think about this. There's no other alternative for
- 30:30people to run to, not just here in the United States of America,
- 30:35but all around the world. The dollar because of the US
- 30:39hegemony since 1971, right? The dollar has been king of the
- 30:46world. So the king is, is in bad shape.
- 30:50Everybody knows it. Everybody can, can go to the US
- 30:53debt clock and see like, oh, this doesn't make sense, right?
- 30:57I mean, your general, you know, I know your average American
- 31:01could care less, but guess what, right?
- 31:04The people in Saudi Arabia, the people in China, India, Brazil,
- 31:09all around the world, they know they are moving away from the
- 31:12dollar. The dollar is going down in
- 31:15value. The dollar is how gold is
- 31:18measured, right, on a mainstream basis.
- 31:22But here's the incredible thing to think about.
- 31:26There's nowhere else for people to run to.
- 31:30It's becoming a battle between gold and the dollar.
- 31:34This is new. This is breaking.
- 31:36All right, This is, and this is exclusive for you, Ron's
- 31:40basement. It's a it's a, it's a battle
- 31:43between gold and the dollar, gold and silver and the dollar.
- 31:47It's not, there's no other thing.
- 31:49This is here. I can do it visually.
- 31:52It's a battle between where'd it go?
- 31:56Here it is. Think of this gold.
- 31:58It's a battle between the dollar and precious metals.
- 32:02OK, and guess what? There's no other place for
- 32:07people to go. There's no other competing
- 32:10paper. Unicorn fart does.
- 32:12Sure, they can go to the euro, or they can go to the yen or the
- 32:15Japanese yen. That'd be a real good idea.
- 32:17No, it it's the dollar or gold and it's coming to the forefront
- 32:23and they're not going to go to the Chinese yuan and they're not
- 32:25going to go to the Russian ruble.
- 32:27They're going to go. They get to choose.
- 32:28Do you want to choose between the dollar?
- 32:31This is big, guys. Let this sink in.
- 32:35The world can really, for all intents and purposes, choose
- 32:40between the dollar or precious metals.
- 32:44And we know absolutely without a doubt that the world is choosing
- 32:50precious metals. It's happening.
- 32:52It's happening right now. I'd like to take a moment to
- 32:54thank our other channel sponsors, very important first
- 32:57mining gold, Canadian Gold Development company.
- 33:01They've already explored, there's been, they have two
- 33:04massive multi million ounce projects in Canada.
- 33:08The gold's there, it's in the ground.
- 33:10It's not like they're trying to find gold.
- 33:11They know it's there. They are now in the permitting
- 33:14process. You can learn more about them at
- 33:15firstmininggold.com. Fortuna Mining is a producing
- 33:19gold and silver company with major operations successful in
- 33:25Latin America and West Africa. Jorgenosa is one of my favorite
- 33:30CE, OS and the whole precious metal sector.
- 33:33You can learn more about them at Fortuna mining.com.
- 33:36I'm not offering financial advice, but the gold and silver
- 33:39mining stocks do, in my opinion, present an unbelievable value
- 33:45opportunity right now as we speak, OK.
- 33:50I don't see any other sector out there that has the value
- 33:54prospect and gold and silver. Remember, when these gold and
- 33:56silver mining stocks start to take off and get some attention,
- 33:59that's going to be good for gold and silver as well.
- 34:03The other thing, the other major catalyst, big catalyst.
- 34:06Do you do you think about like what are the big what are the
- 34:09big events that could happen that could really propel silver
- 34:13and gold higher? There's a lot of them I know,
- 34:18but one of which will be when they turn the printing presses
- 34:22back on. Look, this guy, he is in big,
- 34:25big trouble. Hold on one second.
- 34:27Let's he is in big, major trouble right now.
- 34:37His name is Jerome Powell. He runs the United States
- 34:41Federal Reserve. His mission is to keep
- 34:44unemployment low and something else.
- 34:48Unemployment low. Oh yeah, and inflation to 2%.
- 34:50He's only trying to steal 2% of your money per year.
- 34:53When that when that nice man turns back on his printing
- 34:58press, OK, that will be another major catalyst for the silver
- 35:04and gold price. And it is only a matter of time.
- 35:08There's no magic tricks they can do at some level, at some point,
- 35:14the printing press comes back on.
- 35:17It's the only trick they know. It's the only thing they can do
- 35:21to stop the the, the, the implosion right of the US
- 35:26economic system. At this point, I don't please
- 35:32tell me what else can they do Either the whole system implodes
- 35:36or they turn on the printing press, right?
- 35:39And that means the value of silver and gold will skyrocket.
- 35:43What? What's up here?
- 35:44Let's this is this is the scary part of the show.
- 35:47Let's talk about the Great Depression because when the
- 35:50Great Depression comes back, if it comes back, OK, Oh boy.
- 35:55And we're going to talk about this two in a minute, guys.
- 35:57Big news this week, short term catalyst.
- 36:00This is the financial calendar. We're going to come back to that
- 36:04big news this this week. They could really also be a
- 36:07catalyst for for the silver and gold price Here we have from
- 36:13zero hedge today's economy here. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 36:16Oh, here we are. Are we headed for another Great
- 36:19Depression? This is fascinating.
- 36:22Today there's a great wage and wealth disparity, just as there
- 36:27was in the late 1920s. The, the, the, the, the
- 36:30distribution of wealth and income in the United States is
- 36:34at record bad levels. You know, it's really good to be
- 36:38really rich in the United States right now.
- 36:41Everybody else has pretty much been screwed.
- 36:44This is the interesting part. Recent energy consumption growth
- 36:47has been low, OK, just as it was in the 1920s.
- 36:52And then they go on to say, so let's we're only going to talk
- 36:55about this one paragraph. What this whole article talks
- 36:58about, and a very, very pertinent thing it brings up is
- 37:01that despite the fact that everything is supposed to be so
- 37:04awesome out there, when you look at overall energy consumption,
- 37:09it is down, which tells us that we could have an economy that is
- 37:14grinding to a halt. The best way to think about this
- 37:17guy's is if there's, if the whole world were a town of 10
- 37:22people, OK, and, and we all used U.S. dollars and there were only
- 37:27a hundred U.S. dollars. The, the Fed hadn't printed a
- 37:30bunch of there was a hundred U.S. dollars that the whole town
- 37:33of 10 people had to use to conduct trade with each other.
- 37:37And there was one guy who had 99 of those dollars and everybody
- 37:42else had had a had a dime each. At some point everybody gives
- 37:46up. They can't, you know, they
- 37:48can't, they can't, they can't buy energy, they can't buy
- 37:52anything. And and really that is
- 37:54essentially closely to what we're approaching today.
- 37:58OK. The other big thing is in red.
- 38:00A significant difference today is that the debt level of the US
- 38:05government is already at an extraordinarily high level.
- 38:10Adding more debt now is fraught with peril.
- 38:14We're already screwed because of all the debt that we have.
- 38:18OK, right now where we are, OK, if we go into a depression and
- 38:23they have to have to have to do what they did during the during
- 38:26in, in what was that 2020, Frank?
- 38:2940% more dollars. The spiral becomes even more
- 38:34accentuated. The bottom hits sooner and we go
- 38:37back to that extras pyramid we talked about later where people
- 38:41are running for the doors. OK.
- 38:43It happened in China, just here in the last few years, which is
- 38:47a big reason why we've got the gold price and the silver price
- 38:50going up so much higher. The other thing we'll look at,
- 38:54you're looking to get an RV. Now is the time.
- 38:57And what's important about this is that they're saying the RV
- 39:01downturn, the recreational vehicle downturn has turned
- 39:04apocalyptic with largest dealerships offering 55%
- 39:10discounts. Look at the this is the sales,
- 39:16yeah, this is the sales of one of the biggest RV companies,
- 39:19Lazydays Holdings. If you go back to that's the
- 39:25peak around what, Q2 of of 2022, it is just collapsing, crashing.
- 39:32What does that tell us? That's discretionary purchases.
- 39:36That's people that and there's a wide range of people who buy
- 39:40recreational vehicles, no doubt about it, right.
- 39:44But what that's telling us is that's a discretionary, that's a
- 39:47luxury type item. People don't have the money and
- 39:52we have a crash going on right now in that sector.
- 39:56It's only going to get worse, OK?
- 39:58It's only going to get worse. All right, All right, guys,
- 40:02thank you for being here. Thanks for being part of the
- 40:04base and thank you to the moderators.

- 40:37we checked the gold and silver price and it's down from where
- 40:41we were. Oh well.
