Transcript
- 0:02The gold and silver price are moving and we have some critical
- 0:06big news stories to cover today that are impacting what we're
- 0:10seeing today, but what we'll also see in the future when it
- 0:14comes to the silver and gold price.
- 0:16Welcome, basement dwellers. I'm glad you're here.
- 0:19I've also got a big major warning, actually 2 warnings for
- 0:23you. Anyone who's looking to buy or
- 0:26sell silver or gold, you want to make sure here we pay attention
- 0:30to this. I don't give financial advice,
- 0:33but I can give this advice and I can give it to you with a super
- 0:36high level of confidence. First, let's talk about the big
- 0:40news going on right now in the markets.
- 0:43Look, last I checked, silver was up.
- 0:46Let's run out and take a look at the spot price of silver, which
- 0:50is healthy, up $2.00 per oz, $80.73 in the spot market.
- 0:58Now if we take a look at the futures market, we've got
- 1:03$81.25. So silver's doing really well.
- 1:07Let's remember two things. Number one, guys, just nine days
- 1:12ago we were at $7273 silver. So we've had a nice run in the
- 1:18silver price and we've enjoyed it.
- 1:20Volatility goes both ways. Volatility goes to the downside
- 1:24and the upside and we've enjoyed this volatility, right.
- 1:28But the key thing that we want to see happen today with the
- 1:31silver price in particular is that it close above $80 per oz,
- 1:37right? The weekly close is what they
- 1:40call that, the price that it closes on Friday.
- 1:42Weekly close, You know, all those fancy technical analysis
- 1:46people which we love and we love to follow and share their
- 1:48information about. But the weekly close is
- 1:51critical. And a weekly close above 80 or
- 1:54$81.00 will be massively critical to a lot of the
- 1:58technical analysis patterns that are being formed.
- 2:01Let's run out and see if we can identify maybe just one or two
- 2:05of those here. Back again at the futures,
- 2:10futures price of silver, this is the July contract, OK, So there
- 2:15that is right there, that is right up there in the top
- 2:18middle. We're at 8135.
- 2:22We talked about 7250 being a key critical range, but if we switch
- 2:27this to a six month chart, man, you can just see it.
- 2:32Guys, do you see what I see on this chart?
- 2:35OK. If we'll go, we'll draw some
- 2:37straight lines, but you can see this, it's just it's like an
- 2:43unbelievable almost wedge or compression that's gone on in
- 2:48the silver price since January. What was that, January 28th
- 2:52where we hit that all time high in here?
- 2:55We've been bouncing around, bouncing around and what's
- 2:57important about that is that what we've been building is a
- 3:01solid base of holders in the silver market.
- 3:05Anybody who wanted to sell between 1:20 and 70 has sold and
- 3:10they've been replaced by people that have solid long term
- 3:14conviction. So it's going to be real
- 3:16exciting today. We'll, we'll talk about it over
- 3:18the weekend, but to see where the silver market closes today,
- 3:24the important thing is, I mean, literally 9 days ago, we were
- 3:27concerned about holding $72.50 with just basement dwellers know
- 3:33is kind of the key line in the sand for right now.
- 3:36We may go down there again. I hope we don't.
- 3:38I hope we're just off to the races.
- 3:40And as you know, there's what we, what we like to refer to
- 3:43here in the basement as the Silver 300 Club, the growing
- 3:48list of top analyst who are telling us that the silver price
- 3:51could easily hit $300 in the coming year or two.
- 3:55Maybe it's happening right now. Anyway, we can be very grateful,
- 3:59very happy. We're in good shape.
- 4:00Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The other thing that we need to
- 4:04remember is that I did a lot of research for this video, OK, one
- 4:09year ago here, I'll show you on the chart.
- 4:13One year ago right now, today when we were sitting down in the
- 4:17basement, I'm going to switch that to one year.
- 4:20The silver price in the futures market was $33 per oz and today
- 4:27we're sitting at $81.20 per oz. I know right?
- 4:33The volatility, which again, it works to the upside and the
- 4:36downside can really throw us for an emotional ride.
- 4:39But the reality is, guys, one year ago today, if we talked,
- 4:44which we did, and we and I told you that we'd have $80 silver on
- 4:50what is today, the 8th of May, 2026, we'd be jumping for joy.
- 4:54So let's jump for joy. All right, warnings.
- 4:58Excuse me, for anyone out there buying or selling silver,
- 5:02yesterday I was heading out. I got a little evening job that
- 5:05I do. I was getting the mail out of
- 5:07the mailbox and look what came in the mail, right?
- 5:11All right, the price of gold, this is a like a real fancy
- 5:14postcard, the price of gold, about $4500.
- 5:18And they're telling me about this big event that they're
- 5:20having here in Saint Louis, May 12th through May 16th.
- 5:24They're buying gold and silver and now is the time to sell.
- 5:27I want to give you a warning, OK?
- 5:30I don't know this company personally.
- 5:31I've never done business with them, but selling gold or silver
- 5:37to one of these traveling Rd. shows that shows up in your town
- 5:41is, I'm just going to say it in my opinion is a horrible,
- 5:44horrible idea. I actually dug in a little bit
- 5:48on this company because I wanted to make sure, like, were my
- 5:51suspicions correct? Because I've heard other people
- 5:54share stories about dealing with any number of these traveling
- 5:58roadshow companies that want to buy your gold and silver and how
- 6:01essentially they got a really bad deal.
- 6:04And what I found out, this is what this is what this is what
- 6:07the research said. There's multiple Better Business
- 6:10Bureau complaints against these types of companies.
- 6:14Often times they offer people 20 to 40% below what the true value
- 6:21is of the items. Often times although in their
- 6:24their shiny postcards they say they don't employ pressure
- 6:28tactics. People report that they do
- 6:30report that they do in use pressure tactics.
- 6:35Some people have said that that they've been told by these
- 6:37companies that their items are worn or worthless when in
- 6:41reality, what they had was actually very rare, valuable and
- 6:46high quality. And something on the back of
- 6:48this postcard says here, 20% bonus on the sale of your gold
- 6:54and silver jewelry. And you must present the coupon
- 6:57when you're checking out. I mean, OK, And that's going to
- 7:00lead into the second big warning I have anybody.
- 7:04Look, if you're going to sell, if you're going to sell, right?
- 7:07And, and I'm the first to admit to you, I'm not the guru on
- 7:09selling. I've never sold an ounce of
- 7:11silver. But I can tell you if you ever
- 7:13decide to sell silver or gold, please take your time, call at
- 7:19least three local coin shops or even coin shops that maybe
- 7:23aren't in your immediate area and talk to them.
- 7:26Tell them what you have and get a rough estimate on what they
- 7:29are paying. You're going to do much, much
- 7:32better that way. And a lot of the online bullion
- 7:34dealers will also buy back gold and silver from you.
- 7:37Those big reputable companies. Do your research.
- 7:40When I did my research on this company, it was real easy.
- 7:44It took about 5 minutes, OK? And what I learned, what I
- 7:47shared with you, is that they don't, they don't exactly,
- 7:51according to the information on the Internet, have a sterling
- 7:54reputation. I've got a big local coin shop
- 7:57here in Saint Louis that I know when I look at their Google,
- 8:01look at Google reviews, they get all these big 5 star reviews.
- 8:05OK, please always take your time, always shop around when
- 8:10you're selling any precious metals, make sure you know what
- 8:14you have. Make sure you're getting the
- 8:16best price possible. The other big warning since
- 8:19we're on warnings right now is please, if you're ever going to
- 8:23convert any of your hard earned money that you have in an IRA
- 8:28into gold and silver, be very careful.
- 8:31Shop around. I will tell you this some or
- 8:35maybe more than some of these companies that you see
- 8:38advertising on TV, on the big cable news networks with old
- 8:43retired actors or yeah, usually actors or actress telling you
- 8:48how they trust, blah, blah, blah.
- 8:50There are so many reports of people getting bad deals from
- 8:54those companies. Shop around.
- 8:57If you need a ME to refer you to somebody that I think is
- 9:00trustworthy, but shop around with them as well.
- 9:03I'd be happy to do that. But there's just so many reports
- 9:07of people maybe converting $100,000 out of an IRA into gold
- 9:12and silver with some of these IRA companies in really only
- 9:17getting 50 or 60 or $70,000 worth of metals.
- 9:21They employ all kinds of tricky tactics and they on a lot of
- 9:25their commercials on TV will say, oh, and if you act now, you
- 9:30can get up to $20,000 in free silver.
- 9:33Well, I got news for you right? That's fantasy.
- 9:39Nobody. There's no such thing as $20,000
- 9:42in pre silver. So there's your warnings for the
- 9:44day. Please always be careful buying
- 9:47or selling silver and converting Iras.
- 9:50Shop around. You always want to get the the
- 9:53at the end of the day, you want to get the most metal for your
- 9:57money. OK, You don't want shiny
- 9:59brochures. What you want is shiny metal.
- 10:02So please, please please be careful.
- 10:04OK, Big news today was the jobs number.
- 10:09What a joke, what a bunch of noise.
- 10:12But it deserves our attention because it's what everybody's
- 10:14talking about. But it's moving the gold and
- 10:17silver markets. Or is it really?
- 10:19Let's go check out the headline report that we got here's from
- 10:23Zero Hedge. There's some interesting
- 10:26components to what came out this morning.
- 10:30The US jobs jump by 115,000, smashing estimates Unemployment
- 10:36rate unchanged at 4.3%. So the Bureau of Labor and
- 10:42Statistics is who puts this out. Everybody on Wall Street laughs
- 10:45at these numbers. They're fantasy.
- 10:47But nonetheless, Goldman Sachs really hit the nail on the head.
- 10:51They said in in in his preview of today's non farm payroll
- 10:55report, Goldman's D1 head wrote quote the the payroll numbers
- 11:01almost feel like a sideshow at this point.
- 11:05You can argue a sideshow. I mean, it's a really sums it
- 11:09up. You can argue weak labor data
- 11:11gives wash LED LED Fed, the new Fed head who's going to be
- 11:16coming in enough cover to cut, but with oil and input inflation
- 11:20still elevated. There's also an argument that a
- 11:23weakening labor market alongside A constrained Fed is actually
- 11:27the more difficult combination for risk assets.
- 11:30If your head is spending, you're not alone.
- 11:33I'm going to sum it all up for you here in a few minutes.
- 11:36But this right, this is where they can't lie.
- 11:39This is interesting. A look below the surface reveals
- 11:45a less impressive picture. While payrolls rose to a new
- 11:49record high, actual employment has dropped to the lowest level
- 11:55since January of 2025. In that, my friends, not that
- 12:02this what they're talking about is this actual red line right
- 12:07here where we can see this point right here on the chart is
- 12:12January of 2025. Actual payroll numbers have gone
- 12:16down. So yeah, it's all very super
- 12:19confusing, right? Payroll, interest rates, the
- 12:23Fed, what they're going to do, whatever.
- 12:25The bottom line is this. The truth is OK that the
- 12:30employment numbers aren't good. The truth is that the economy is
- 12:34not strong. We're living in a make believe
- 12:39AK shaped economy where the ultra wealthy, the top 1%, the
- 12:43top 5% are doing really well because they own all the assets.
- 12:47Everybody else is struggling, right?
- 12:49It's going to take one little piece of the Jenga to come out
- 12:52for everything to really hit some super hard times.
- 12:56So the economy in reality, the real economy, the real economy
- 13:00is not one or two or 5%. It's all of us together is
- 13:03struggling. OK.
- 13:05And at the same time, you know and I know that real inflation
- 13:11is big and it's going to get much, much worse.
- 13:15That is stagflation. That is the most fruit frutal,
- 13:19frutal fruitful, a good environment that we could ever
- 13:24ask for for silver and gold. It happened in the 70s.
- 13:28I was talking to one of my neighbors this morning.
- 13:30He said this is like the 1970s all over.
- 13:33He owns a big business. He's a smart guy, super
- 13:36successful. And I, he said most of the young
- 13:39kids don't realize this, but we are reliving the 1970s guys.
- 13:43In the 1970's, the gold price and the silver price absolutely
- 13:48skyrocketed. And the most important thing for
- 13:51us to remember in the coming year, in the coming 10 years is
- 13:56that inflation, real simple, two things we have stagflation.
- 14:01The other thing is that inflation is going to be the
- 14:05driver of the bus. All this other crap, excuse my
- 14:09language, employment numbers, Fed interest rates, blah blah
- 14:14blah, it's all a bunch of noise. The only thing that's going to
- 14:17drive everything, including gold and silver, are the inflation
- 14:22numbers. So be ready.
- 14:27I got more good news for you because the biggest inverse
- 14:33indicator of them all made a big statement.
- 14:37Apparently today Evan shared with us the Jim Cramer just said
- 14:41on CNBC that he is quote, not bullish on gold right now.
- 14:50Everybody knows there's a thing called the Kramer inverse
- 14:53indicator, which is also like the opposite of a Kramer, that
- 14:57Kramer has been so wrong on a lot of things over the years.
- 15:01He's not wrong on everything, no doubt about it.
- 15:03But I think with gold, he's never been a big fan of gold off
- 15:08and on, maybe a little bit, but that he's often wrong.
- 15:10So there we got it, right, CNBC mainstream financial media who's
- 15:15never been kind to gold and silver and Kramer are are are
- 15:20talking down on gold. Go figure.
- 15:23That's actually great, great, great news from from the
- 15:27mainstream media for us now. More right, more BS Reuters.
- 15:34Hey, at least they're talking about gold and silver.
- 15:37But they say gold extends its gains this morning after the
- 15:41jobs data and heads for a weekly gain on US Iran deal hopes.
- 15:47And they're talking about the fact that again, they're talking
- 15:50about the fact that that will keep inflation down.
- 15:54Look, guys, I already covered it.
- 15:56Hold on, here we go. We already covered it.
- 16:01The mainstream media, it's is feeding us a bunch of bunk and
- 16:05noise, trying for us to figure out how all this noise fits
- 16:09together. Yeah, it's fun.
- 16:10Yes, we'll pay attention to it. But you know the key drivers,
- 16:14stagflation and inflation. We'll move on from there.
- 16:18OK, And here we go. Let's go to China.
- 16:22China's what really matters. We talked about this yesterday.
- 16:25China, right, actually requires their traders to have physical
- 16:30gold and silver and get a load of this.
- 16:36OK, from David Lee, great source right on the ground is telling
- 16:41us breaking news yesterday. China's massively ramped up gold
- 16:45purchases in April. OK, we just got this data after
- 16:50adding. After adding 160,000 of gold in
- 16:54March, China took advantage of lower prices in April again and
- 17:00added 260,000 ounces to their gold reserves.
- 17:05That's almost 9 times of the monthly purchase amount that
- 17:10happened from October of last year through February of this
- 17:15year, when China only added 30,000 a month.
- 17:19This is also 18 consecutive months of China adding, adding
- 17:25gold and we know what they're doing.
- 17:29Did I forget to hold on here? There we go.
- 17:32That's what I just read to you. Sorry if I forgot to share that
- 17:34screen. But we know what they're also
- 17:36doing with silver, right? Buying massive, massive.
- 17:40Think about it, China, what some people say is now the world's
- 17:43largest economy buying massive amounts of gold and silver.
- 17:47China also on their Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 17:52Shanghai Futures Exchange requires physical metal for
- 17:56trading. China, India, right, are now
- 17:59setting the price for gold and silver.
- 18:01We are in a new paradigm and let's go over here now and look
- 18:06at their silver is it's something that interesting is
- 18:09happening with their silver as well.
- 18:13And there you go from silver trade.
- 18:19China adds 100 metric tons of silver Shank from the Shanghai
- 18:24Silver Report. Total Shanghai Futures Exchange
- 18:28silver inventory went up by 20,830kg.
- 18:33Total Shanghai Gold Exchange inventory went up by 84,000
- 18:38kilograms. The Chinese are hoarding silver.
- 18:44OK, We can see that here on this report.
- 18:47That was as of yesterday. Now let's go take a look at
- 18:50today's report from our friend the Oriental Ghost.
- 18:55There he is right there. He's been providing this data
- 18:58for feels like years, but at minimum months.
- 19:01This is today's report from the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- 19:05The Shanghai Futures Exchange, as we can see, if you want to
- 19:11buy physical silver in China, OK, that is silver AG on the
- 19:17Shanghai Gold Exchange, this is their spot market.
- 19:22The price is almost $90.00 per oz.
- 19:26If you go out to the Shanghai Futures Exchange for silver, we
- 19:31are almost at $91.00 per oz. Another interesting thing to
- 19:35point out is that their market is in a healthy state of what is
- 19:39called contango. Contango is when the future
- 19:43price is higher than the spot price and that indicates a very
- 19:48healthy market. If we go down and look at their
- 19:51at their silver vaults, Shanghai Futures Exchange silver vault,
- 19:55that's today's data, it went up by another 24,000 kilograms.
- 20:01The data I want to point out on the Shanghai Gold Exchange is on
- 20:05a weekly basis. So we didn't see any change from
- 20:10the data that we looked at earlier.
- 20:13The big take away here is the price of gold.
- 20:15I'm sorry, the price of silver, it's not as exaggerated in gold,
- 20:19but the price of silver in China is significantly higher.
- 20:23I mean, what 8978? Let's just go look at the get an
- 20:30update on the price, the spot price in the yeah, I mean, heck,
- 20:34almost over $9 / 10%, probably 12% higher in China right now.
- 20:41And they continue to hoard physical silver.
- 20:45Remember what we know about China?
- 20:46Very critical to remember. Think about this.
- 20:49Number one, they banned most exports of silver on January 1st
- 20:55#2 we know the data right from February and March.
- 20:59They've imported they no more exports and now they're
- 21:03importing massive amounts of silver and they put in place a
- 21:08ban on sulfuric acid acid, which will exports, which will have an
- 21:12impact on on the on the overall worldwide silver production.
- 21:17So getting very, very interesting.
- 21:19Now let's talk about the supply side.
- 21:21Before we do that, I want to say thank you to channel sponsor
- 21:24first meant. If you want to get your hands on
- 21:26some silver right now, you can't beat First Meant.
- 21:32They've got great selection, great service, and it really is
- 21:35the freshest silver around. They're owned by First Majestic,
- 21:38who mines the silver in Mexico. They ship it to 1st Mint in Las
- 21:43Vegas, NV, where they create these world class silver bullion
- 21:47products like this beautiful one ounce bar that I'm holding right
- 21:51here, their Liberty bar, and then it goes straight to you.
- 21:55It never gets touched by the Comex or the LBMA.
- 21:59It's spoof proof, right? They can't manipulate the price,
- 22:02price of the silver that you get from First Mint.
- 22:05And right now they got a special on that Liberty bar that I that
- 22:08I just showed you $2 off. Go check them out at First
- 22:13mint.com. Trust me, the feedback over the
- 22:16last year from you guys, from the basement dweller community
- 22:19has been overwhelmingly positive.
- 22:22First Mint truly is a premium retail silver buying experience
- 22:27and that's all they do is silver.
- 22:29It's a super unique company and it's a big privilege to have
- 22:33them as a sponsor. Also, thank you to 1st Mining
- 22:36Gold. We're going to talk about some
- 22:38stunning data about gold here in a second, but first Mining Gold
- 22:43has two huge development stage gold projects in Canada, Spring
- 22:47Pull in Ontario, Duparquet in Quebec.
- 22:50You can learn more about them at firstmininggold.com.
- 22:54It's a stock that I've owned long before they sponsored my
- 22:58channel. A great company and thank you to
- 23:001st Mining Gold for for from myself and all the basement
- 23:03dwellers for sponsoring our channel and making this
- 23:07broadcast possible. Now let's go out you ready for
- 23:11some this is good news for for gold, but also for silver.
- 23:16Gary Bohm points this out. The supply side of gold is
- 23:21broken 15 years. We're going to break each of
- 23:24these down and talk about why they're why they're important of
- 23:29flat production, the historic discovery drought, which we're
- 23:34going to look at down below and the M&A illusion why and why the
- 23:39demand collision math has to drive gold prices higher.
- 23:43Yes, OK, guys. There's not been a lot of new
- 23:47production coming out from the gold, the gold gold mining
- 23:51sector or the silver mining sector.
- 23:55With silver, we know it's actually been trending down
- 23:58since I think it was 2006 flat at best.
- 24:01OK, so there's not a lot of new supply of precious metals coming
- 24:06onto the market from the miners, the historic discovery drought.
- 24:09We'll save that for last because I'm going to look at this chart
- 24:11with you in the mergers and acquisition illusion.
- 24:15A lot of people are getting confused by seeing these major
- 24:18mergers between big gold mining and silver mining companies.
- 24:22That doesn't create any more production.
- 24:25It just consolidated it under one bigger umbrella.
- 24:29They aren't able to necessarily increase production.
- 24:34Maybe the, the company that does the, the the acquisition can
- 24:37say, yeah, now we're producing X more ounces, but those are
- 24:41coming from another company that already existed.
- 24:45OK. And the math is going to drive
- 24:48gold prices and silver prices higher because basic, basic
- 24:51math, mathematics shows no forgiveness on the altar of
- 24:55truth. But let's look at this chart,
- 24:57which I believe, yeah, came from Tavi Costa.
- 25:00This chart shows new gold discoveries worldwide in the
- 25:04same is true with silver. These are discoveries of at
- 25:08least 2,000,000 ounces of gold. Look at the numbers, guys.
- 25:13Number one, OK, this goes all the way back to 1990.
- 25:18And you can see during the 90s, man, they had like massive
- 25:21discoveries of new gold, right? Big, big discoveries.
- 25:25Then in the 2000s it starts to tail off again.
- 25:30Looks like in 2006 we had a point where they made 22 in one
- 25:34year. But look at essentially what
- 25:37happened from 2007 through now. I mean, you cannot argue the
- 25:44fact that the amount of new discoveries of gold, and the
- 25:48same is true with silver, has gone down the tubes.
- 25:51Now, why is this important? Because this represents the
- 25:55future supply of gold and silver.
- 25:59It's going to take 8 to 10 years.
- 26:02Excuse me, from the time that a new silver or gold deposit is
- 26:07discovered until under the best of circumstances they can
- 26:11actually start producing the metals.
- 26:14But this is the future pipeline. And as you can see, it is
- 26:18absolutely the pipeline. It's like a train or a drain
- 26:22going into a cesspool. It's going down the tubes.
- 26:25There is not going to be a new massive supply of either of
- 26:31these metals coming on board. And all right, this is
- 26:34interesting. I was talking to the CEO of a
- 26:38major gold mining company a couple days ago and he brought
- 26:43up a good point. He said a lot of the what, what
- 26:46what we are seeing right now is a lot of the big companies
- 26:51saying that they're increasing their resources, but what
- 26:54they're doing is they're lowering the cut off grade of
- 26:58what's economic to mine. And essentially he said most of
- 27:01those Oz still aren't really economic.
- 27:04The future supply, it's very exciting for the gold and silver
- 27:08sector. The future supply of these
- 27:10metals is absolutely, absolutely constrained.
- 27:14You want to hear a fun story about the value of silver?
- 27:17We got a story from our friend Roy.
- 27:20Actually, I don't know Roy, but I know Roy's friend really well,
- 27:23Mr. M, I call him the The Gold and Silver Guru.
- 27:27And this is a real simple story that tells us the real
- 27:32fundamental value of silver. Hold on one second and I'll read
- 27:38this for you. This is a screenshot of an
- 27:45actual text from my phone, he said.
- 27:47I've got a good story to share with you, Ron.
- 27:50My friend Roy, who is a silver stacker, told me he's figured
- 27:55out a new way to tell people about silver who don't already
- 27:59know about it. OK, these are like the other
- 28:01What do we call those people? Those 99% of people out there
- 28:04who don't know like the real value of silver?
- 28:08They've watched too much TV over the years and haven't dug in.
- 28:12We call those people the the sheeple.
- 28:17OK, This is how Roy does it. He starts the conversation by
- 28:21saying gasoline is actually less expensive now than it was during
- 28:27the 1950s. What?
- 28:30Roy, what are you talking about? Of course, the response he gets
- 28:34is something along the lines of no, it's not.
- 28:37But then he has their attention. Roy then responds gas only cost
- 28:44around a dime back in the 1950s, but the silver in that 1950s
- 28:50Roosevelt dime is worth about $5.60 right now, which is more
- 28:58than a gallon of gas cost today here in North Carolina at least,
- 29:03he said people typically seem amazed to learn that.
- 29:08Guys, we got to go back to the fundamentals from time to time.
- 29:11I got a dime somewhere, OK? The fact is this, you see this
- 29:15little thing in my hand, that's a dime, OK?
- 29:20And that is worth $0.10. If this were a 1950 dime when it
- 29:26was made out of 90% silver, that silver is worth $5.60 if we want
- 29:34to measure it in paper Fiat dollars today.
- 29:37This dime, silver dime, bought a gallon of gasoline back in 1954.
- 29:44This silver dime today, take it to your local coin shop.
- 29:48Don't go here. Take it to your local coin shop,
- 29:53trade it in and you can go buy with that silver dime.
- 29:58I'm almost in an ounce, a gallon of gasoline, right?
- 30:01If you take this other dime, hold on, this one right here,
- 30:06this 1994 dime that I'm showing you to a gas station, I think
- 30:12you can get what, about 150th of a gallon of gasoline?
- 30:16The value of silver, and we looked at yesterday, over 200
- 30:20years, an ounce of silver buys more groceries about the same,
- 30:25but actually a little more groceries today than it did 200
- 30:29years ago. The value of silver, the value
- 30:32of gold have stood the test of time.
- 30:35No doubt about it. We're going to be fine.
- 30:38All the short term noise that they're hitting us with right
- 30:41now, jobs, numbers, new Fed chair, blah, blah, blah, none of
- 30:46it matters. What matters truly is one thing
- 30:49and that is inflation in this right, What we just talked about
- 30:54that shows you inflation, right? With the 1994 dime that has no
- 30:59silver in it. How do we protect ourselves with
- 31:02silver and gold? That's what I believe, right?
- 31:05When people talk to me about about where I think the silver
- 31:08price can go, I say like Infinity and beyond, right?
- 31:12I mean, really, it's hard to say how high the silver price can
- 31:16go. Whether or not I live long
- 31:17enough to see it, who knows? OK, I'm 56 years old, but there
- 31:23really is no ceiling if we choose to measure the quote UN
- 31:31quote value of silver in U.S. dollars.
- 31:35The only thing all these other factors that we talked about all
- 31:38this noise, right that I love the Reuters thing.
- 31:41Oh and play, you know, Iran blah, blah blah, bring that's
- 31:44why gold is up BS Gold's at $4800 because the value of the
- 31:50US dollar has literally collapsed since 1971 when
- 31:55President Nixon took us off the gold standard.
- 31:58And it really started in 1913 when they created that thing
- 32:03called the United States Federal Reserve, all the rest of it, and
- 32:08we'll pay attention to it. And yeah, sure, we watch the
- 32:10price, right? There's volatility in the
- 32:13markets right now, but it's all literally a bunch of noise.
- 32:17Or is Goldman Sachs even said, right, today's employment number
- 32:22was a sideshow. That's Goldman Sachs saying
- 32:27that. Look, three years ago when we
- 32:29sat down here in the basement, we paid much closer attention to
- 32:32the noise because back then the Fed had more power.
- 32:36Back then, this data meant a lot more.
- 32:39We the, the, the, the dye has been struck, right?
- 32:43The, the ship has sailed when it comes to the unfortunate fact
- 32:50that the US economy based on the US national debt, based on these
- 32:54horrible decisions that our, that our leaders, our
- 32:57politicians have made over the last decades.
- 33:00OK, that, that there's no turning back.
- 33:04So as we move forward, it's going to be much more simple for
- 33:08us, right? Really what we're focused on is
- 33:11inflation, which is just a, a fancy way to say the value of
- 33:16the dollar going down. Hey, don't forget guys, please
- 33:19also I want to say thank you to channel sponsor dirty man safe
