0:00

But I think the best buy is silver and

0:04

you know it's like turning back the

0:06

clock. It is a gift. Uh so load up on on

0:09

u on silver and uh you know do that as

0:13

soon as you can. You will not regret it.

0:15

I think there's very little downside

0:17

again $30 but the upside is

0:23

enormous. And that's why I think the

0:25

bond market did not recover along with

0:28

the stock market. That's why yields on a

0:31

10-year Treasury are still close to four

0:33

and a half and on a 30-year close to

0:35

five. And the market looks like it's

0:37

going to break down. And even if the Fed

0:40

comes in with some rate cuts later in

0:42

the year, that's not going to bring down

0:45

long-term rates. If anything, that will

0:47

push them even higher because you're get

0:50

you have a movement out of US dollars.

0:54

uh and out of US treasuries. And I think

0:57

that by calling

0:59

attention to the problems uh with our

1:02

trade imbalances and threatening the

1:05

world uh with these high tariffs, I

1:08

think this is a bigger uh you know

1:11

wakeup

1:13

call to foreign holders of dollars to

1:17

our trading partners that have large

1:20

surpluses with the United States and who

1:22

have been investing those surpluses in

1:25

US treasuries and mortgage back

1:27

securities and other US dollar

1:29

denominated assets that they are at risk

1:33

because the United States doesn't like

1:35

this. We somehow view this as being uh

1:39

the world ripping us off, taking

1:41

advantage of us. Uh and Trump is

1:44

determined to do something about these

1:47

massive imbalances which in and of

1:50

themselves are not the problem. They are

1:52

the consequence of the problem.

1:55

And the only way to solve or get rid of

1:59

the consequences is to actually solve

2:01

the problem. But what Trump was looking

2:03

at doing was covering up the symptoms

2:06

and blaming our trading partners for a

2:09

problem that we created. But I think

2:11

this is the type of wakeup call that

2:13

Biden sent when he put the sanctions on

2:16

Russia. He let foreign central banks

2:19

know and for foreign governments know

2:21

that it's dangerous to hold a lot of US

2:23

dollar reserves uh because we could

2:25

sanction you if we don't like what

2:26

you're doing. Well, now we've told them

2:29

again that it's dangerous because we

2:31

don't like you accumulating dollars uh

2:34

because we're going to retaliate with

2:36

tariffs or who knows, we may even uh

2:39

selectively default uh on debt held by

2:42

uh foreigners uh because you've you know

2:45

you've accumulated this debt unfairly.

2:47

You've taken advantage of the United

2:49

States. You've ripped off the United

2:51

States. And so I think the

2:53

ddollarization trend that began under uh

2:58

Biden is going to accelerate under

3:00

Trump. And in fact, if we're not going

3:03

to have very high tariffs, if we're just

3:05

going to have low tariffs, that will

3:07

fill the government coffers with some

3:10

extra tariff revenue, not nearly enough

3:12

to offset the enormity of the tax cuts

3:16

in the big beautiful bill. Uh, and also

3:19

not enough to bring any manufacturing

3:20

back to the United States because

3:22

Americans will just pay the tariffs. Uh,

3:25

and uh, they may consume a bit less

3:27

because of the higher prices.

3:30

Um, but I I think that the only way that

3:34

we're going to have a significant

3:36

reduction in our trade deficit is

3:39

through a significant depreciation of

3:42

the dollar because that will act like a

3:44

tariff except without the uh benefit of

3:47

the government getting any tax revenue.

3:49

But if the dollar goes down

3:52

dramatically, not just, you know, a

3:54

small decline, but if we have a big

3:56

decline in the dollar, then all of our

3:58

imports are going to be much more

4:00

expensive, just as if there had been a

4:02

tariff. And if our imports become a lot

4:06

more expensive, well, Americans aren't

4:07

going to buy as many imports. Uh but

4:10

what that means is that the dollars that

4:13

we used to send abroad to pay for those

4:15

imports are going to stay in the United

4:17

States bidding up consumer good prices

4:20

because now if we're not going to send

4:22

our dollars to China or some other

4:24

place, they're staying here. And what

4:26

are Americans going to do? We're going

4:27

to spend them. Well, you know, so

4:29

whatever we spend them on, the price is

4:32

going to go up. You know, we've

4:33

benefited for the last several decades

4:36

of exporting our inflation, but Trump

4:38

has made it clear that that's no longer

4:41

acceptable because that's foreigners

4:43

taking advantage of us. So, if we're

4:45

going to have to keep our inflation, uh

4:49

then we're going to see much bigger

4:51

price increases than what we've been

4:53

accustomed to over the years where we

4:56

were exporting our inflation. But the

4:58

other uh benefit that we're going to

5:00

lose is those dollars are not going to

5:03

be recycled back into the US economy

5:05

through the financial markets. So the

5:08

dollars that Americans were using to buy

5:11

foreign goods were coming back but into

5:14

our bond market, into our stock market,

5:16

into our real estate market. So pushing

5:19

up asset prices. So that's one way that

5:21

the inflation that the Federal Reserve

5:23

was creating uh was being routed into

5:26

financial assets. And so it was the

5:29

price of stocks, bonds, and real estate

5:31

that went up. And that made Americans

5:33

feel richer as they continue to consume

5:36

lowcost goods uh produced by our trading

5:39

partners. Well, now Americans are going

5:42

to have to spend their dollars here

5:44

bidding up consumer prices. And now

5:46

foreigners are not going to be investing

5:48

the dollars they earn bidding up our

5:51

financial asset prices. In fact, I think

5:53

foreigners are going to be pulling money

5:55

out of US stocks and bonds uh and

5:59

investing in their own markets,

6:01

especially if the dollar continues to

6:03

weaken and we effectively have a weak

6:06

dollar policy. Uh we're telling the

6:09

world that if you hold US assets, you're

6:11

going to lose because you're going to

6:13

lose on the foreign exchange. One of the

6:15

reasons that US assets have been so

6:18

attractive over the past several years

6:21

was the strength of the dollar. And so

6:23

the foreign currency gains augmented the

6:26

gains on US stocks and and bonds. But

6:30

now with that reversing, the headwind of

6:33

a weak dollar is going to subtract from

6:36

the returns that foreigners might have

6:38

on US assets. And in fact, if US assets

6:41

start to fall, if the US stock market

6:44

goes into a bare market and stock prices

6:47

go down and at the same time the dollar

6:49

is going down, then that augments the

6:52

losses that international investors are

6:55

suffering when they're measuring their

6:57

returns in their own currency. So, I

7:00

think you're going to see a lot of

7:01

selling of US financial assets and

7:03

central banks are going to continue to

7:05

sell dollars and US treasuries and

7:07

they're going to put more and more money

7:09

into gold. And that's why this trend is

7:12

not only going to continue, it's going

7:14

to accelerate and eventually spill over

7:17

into silver as individual investors join

7:22

central banks in looking for

7:24

alternatives to the US dollar. And the

7:28

best alternative, the most viable

7:30

alternative is gold and silver. Central

7:33

banks have already come to that

7:35

conclusion and they're buying gold

7:37

because they have to buy a lot and and

7:40

silver doesn't really suit their purpose

7:42

the way gold does. But individual

7:44

investors, the customers of of shift

7:47

gold, a lot of our customers, they can

7:50

put money into silver. They don't they

7:52

don't have millions and millions of

7:54

dollars or billions of dollars that they

7:56

need to get rid of and convert to real

7:58

money. If you're just talking about tens

8:00

of thousands of dollars, well, you could

8:02

easily take advantage of the low price

8:05

in silver and convert your fiat currency

8:08

into real money in the form of silver.

8:11

Now, I wouldn't exclusively buy silver.

8:13

I would also buy some gold, but don't

8:16

forget about silver and don't think,

8:17

hey, silver hasn't gone up, so you know,

8:20

it's never going to go up. I it's

8:22

eventually going to make a huge move and

8:25

catch up to the price of gold. So, in

8:27

the meantime, I would take advantage,

8:29

you know, the the team is still there at

8:31

Shift Gold uh to take your orders uh

8:34

over the weekend. You can go online and

8:37

you can fill up a shopping cart uh with

8:39

gold and silver. I think you want to

8:41

take advantage of the pullback that we

8:44

had uh this week uh because I think it

8:47

is a gift. I think we're near the lows.

8:49

I don't expect gold to go back below

8:52

3,000 just like I didn't expect it to go

8:54

below 2,000. Uh but I think anything

8:57

below 3,200 is a great buy. But even if

8:59

you have to pay a little bit more than

9:01

that, you know, in the scheme of things,

9:03

it's still good. But I think the best

9:06

buy is silver. And you know, it's like

9:09

turning back the clock. It is a gift. I

9:12

mean, if somebody would have told me

9:15

um you know, a year ago that we would be

9:18

at $3,200 gold and that silver would

9:22

only be $32 an ounce, I wouldn't have

9:24

believed it, right? Uh but it happened.

9:27

And I think it's a gift horse and they

9:30

say not to look those in the mouth. Just

9:32

take advantage of the gift and be

9:35

thankful that you have it. Uh so load up

9:38

on on uh on silver and uh you know do

9:42

that as soon as you can. You will not

9:44

regret it. I think there's very little

9:46

downside. Again, $30, but the upside is

9:50

enormous. Not just 50, which is the

9:53

double top going back to 1980. I mean,

9:55

it's hard to find a commodity that you

9:57

could buy cheaper than it was in 1980,

9:59

but that was also the high in 2011. But

10:02

I think one day $50 is going to be the

10:05

floor. uh and we're going to head much

10:07

higher. So $100 uh to me is a very

10:10

realistic target for the price of

10:12

silver. And that's a triple where it is

10:14

right now for gold to triple. You're

10:16

almost at, you know, $10,000 goal. Not

10:18

that gold's not going to get to 10,000.

10:21

Uh but to me, uh it seems that silver

10:24

will hit 100 before gold hits 10,000.

10:27

And so that's why I think that you

10:29

definitely want to be buying silver.

10:30

Gold and silver have once again captured

10:32

the spotlight as America teeters on the

10:35

edge of unprecedented financial and

10:37

political instability with Donald

10:39

Trump's recent surge in polling numbers

10:41

despite multiple legal challenges and

10:43

the US economy walking a tight rope of

10:46

inflation, rate uncertainty and

10:48

record-breaking debt levels, it has

10:50

become abundantly clear that the fiat

10:52

system rooted in endless money printing

10:55

and blind trust is broken.

10:58

Gold and silver are not just alternative

11:00

investments anymore. They are lifeboats

11:03

in a storm of economic and institutional

11:06

collapse. Every fiat currency in history

11:09

has eventually failed. The US dollar,

11:12

once backed by gold, now floats on the

11:14

whims of policy makers and central

11:16

bankers. The Federal Reserve claims to

11:18

fight inflation, yet it created the very

11:20

problem with years of near zero interest

11:22

rates and trillions in stimulus. And now

11:25

with CPI inflation numbers still sticky

11:28

and consumer sentiment in freefall,

11:30

they've cornered themselves into a

11:31

lose-lose situation. Raise rates and

11:34

tank the economy or ease and ignite

11:37

another inflation

11:38

wave. Either way, fiat suffers, but

11:41

physical gold and silver, finite, real,

11:45

and time-tested

11:47

thrive. In the last few weeks, silver

11:49

has quietly outperformed many other

11:51

assets, pushing past key resistance

11:53

levels while being largely ignored by

11:55

the mainstream

11:57

media. Gold, too, is testing all-time

11:59

highs amid global central bank

12:02

accumulation. Why are nations like

12:04

China, Russia, and even Poland buying

12:06

tons of gold while telling their

12:08

citizens to hold

12:09

cash? Because they know what's coming.

12:12

They know the dollar is losing its

12:14

dominance and that the next financial

12:15

system won't be built on paper IUS. It

12:18

will be anchored to something

12:20

real. Trump's return to the headlines

12:23

isn't just about politics. It's about

12:25

economic sentiment. His recent

12:28

statements slamming the Federal Reserve

12:30

and calling for a return to sound money

12:32

are echoing louder than

12:34

ever. Trump understands that Americans

12:37

are losing faith in the institutions

12:39

that manage their money.

12:41

Confidence in the Fed is near all-time

12:43

lows. The Treasury is issuing debt at a

12:46

break neck

12:47

pace. Social Security is on track to go

12:51

bankrupt. Meanwhile, the stock market

12:53

continues to float on speculation.

12:56

Artificially supported by Fed job boning

12:58

and tech hype. But beneath the surface,

13:01

cracks are forming. Young investors are

13:03

waking up. They're beginning to see the

13:06

trap. Save in dollars and you're

13:08

guaranteed to lose purchasing power.

13:10

Trust in stocks and crypto, and you're

13:12

subject to manipulation and regulatory

13:15

whims. The only assets with a 5,000-year

13:18

track record of preserving wealth

13:20

through every war, recession, and regime

13:22

change are gold and silver. And right

13:26

now, silver is arguably the most

13:28

undervalued strategic asset on Earth.

13:30

Not only is it a monetary metal, but

13:32

it's also essential in solar panels,

13:34

electric vehicles, and industrial

13:36

applications.

13:38

The supply is shrinking while demand is

13:40

surging. This is not a speculative

13:42

narrative. It's a supply chain reality.

13:45

Meanwhile, America is sleepwalking into

13:47

another debt crisis. With over $34

13:50

trillion in national debt and interest

13:52

payments now rivaling military spending,

13:55

the writing is on the wall. The

13:57

government has no plan to pay it off.

13:59

The only tool they have left is

14:01

inflation. Silent theft through currency

14:04

debasement. If you're holding dollars,

14:06

you're the victim. Every printed dollar

14:08

makes your savings weaker. Every

14:10

stimulus check, every bailout, every new

14:13

government program funded by the

14:14

printing press, it's a transfer of your

14:16

wealth to the state. Look at the banks.

14:19

Regional banking stress has returned and

14:21

big names are warning of a new wave of

14:23

collapses. If even one major institution

14:26

falls, a domino effect could ensue. And

14:29

with FDIC reserves under pressure and

14:31

trust and banks declining, people are

14:33

beginning to ask serious questions. What

14:36

happens to my savings if the system

14:37

locks up? If you can't hold it, you

14:40

don't own it. And that's why physical

14:41

metals are making a comeback. Gold and

14:44

silver require no counterparty. They

14:46

cannot be hacked, frozen, or inflated

14:49

away. They don't rely on government

14:51

promises or Wall Street gymnastics.

14:54

In times of war, regime change, or

14:56

collapse like the world is inching

14:58

toward now, they are the final fall

15:01

back. Just this week, Trump warned that

15:04

America is closer than ever to losing

15:07

the dollar as the world reserve

15:10

currency. That's not alarmism, it's

15:12

fact. The BRICS nations are actively

15:15

developing a goldbacked trading

15:17

currency, and the world is watching. The

15:20

petrod dollar era is ending and with it

15:22

the dollar's dominance. Gold and silver

15:25

will outlive fiat. They have outlived

15:28

every empire that thought it could print

15:30

its way to prosperity and they will

15:32

outlive this one

15:34

too. While Wall Street distracts you

15:36

with AI stocks and debtfueled bubbles,

15:39

the smart money is quietly accumulating

15:41

hard assets.

15:43

If the monetary system resets, and

15:46

history shows it always does, those

15:48

holding metals will have purchasing

15:49

power while everyone else scramles for

15:51

crumbs.
