Gold was supposed to be the safe haven. So why did it pull back instead? Geopolitical tension is rising, oil is surging, and the old logic around gold is being challenged again. In this upcoming episode of DeepTalk, we unpack the short-term volatility, the long-term value, and what investors...

Rick Rule: Gold will do well over the long term, but expect short-term volatility. In the short term, as a consequence of the Iran war: - Countries have to sell gold to fund domestic needs - Higher interest rates make the USD more attractive vs gold In the long term: - The US can't afford high rates - Debt-to-GDP is too high - Deficits are surging Which will result in massive money printing and a severe loss of purchasing power for the USD in the coming years, reminiscent of the 70s, which will be bullish for gold and other hard assets. Short term pain, long term gain

While many investors are buying Dangote shares, one investor chose a different path he used his money to buy millions of naira worth of physical gold instead. His reason? “Buy the dip.” Not in stocks. Not in crypto. In gold. He sees gold as a long-term investment and a store of value for his children. My question: Is this a wise investment strategy, or would you rather put that money into stocks, Sukuk, real estate, or a business? And is gold part of your investment portfolio? 👇 What would you do, and why?

I'll say it again. Details for the June update and content are cool and serve the Community short-term BUT the information that will really move the needle on building trust long-term is a semblance of a plan. Why should players jump back in and what are they looking forward to?

Silver's squeeze is being driven by gold which in turn is being driven by the dollar. No, not "debasement" or "inflation." Eurodollar deflation. People make the critical mistake believing gold is a substitute for the dollar when it's not even in the same arena. Precious metals instead compete with stocks and other risky financial assets as the safe haven alternative to them. Ledger money separated medium of exchange from store of value 150 years ago (not that you've heard anything about it, but you live it every day each time you use your credit card - medium - and check your 401k - store). Gold is not a medium, but it is superior form of value. Gold's behavior therefore has nothing to do with "the dollar" except when eurodollar conditions drive the exchange value and signal conditions relative to stores of value alternatives. This is why gold has behaved like it has and why all the gold "experts" get it wrong. When the dollar is rising, that's a deflation signal which means increasing chance conditions will be bad for risky stores of value. Gold shines. And that is exactly how it has traded recently, too, from late last year through April, the middle of the year when gold backed off because risk-taking was back at the forefront, and now with flat Beveridge everywhere and credit cockroaches showing up every other minute gold is utterly flying. That deflation would be really bad for risky assets that gold competes with. IT IS NOT DEBASEMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. All the evidence is here: Everything you get from the mainstream is either wrong or backward. Oftentimes on purpose. Misdirection and misinformation is actually the trade of "central banks." Start unlearning the garbage and start learning the truth which has been hiding in plain sight all this time.

As gold holds near historic highs, Equinox Gold Corp. Chair Ross Beaty says investors risk missing the bigger picture by getting caught in short-term market noise. He argues the real drivers of metals markets are structural – weakening confidence in the US dollar and rising government debt – outweighing temporary geopolitical headlines. For producers, the strategy is straightforward: scale. Higher production and deeper reserves deliver the pure-play leverage investors want in a sustained bull market. Full interview here:

Peter Schiff: De-dollarisation means the REMONETISATION of gold, the dollar can ABSOLUTELY be replaced by it 'It was the dollar that replaced gold. Before we had the dollar as the reserve, everybody, including the United States, held gold. I don't think anybody controls gold. Where you have control is over fiat currencies. The US government, the Federal Reserve, can create as many dollars as it wants out of thin air. Gold can't be created out of thin air. There is a limit to how much gold exists and can be mined. And so gold is the most honest form of money that we have. And it takes the power away from any one government. Private investors are going to be moving out of fiat currency-denominated instruments as a means of savings, including sovereign debt. And they're going to be increasingly looking to gold as a better storehouse of value than sovereign debt.' -Peter Schiff, Host of 'The Peter Schiff Show' on the latest episode of New Order.

Peter Thiel: Think of the future on three horizons “What you end up doing when you think of the future as indefinite is you pick a job that will be good on your resume because it will then lead to a different job later on.” Instead of viewing the future as indefinite, Thiel suggests that the students in the audience think of the future on three horizons: short term, medium term, and long term. Very short term is: Are you going to be happy and will you be learning a lot? Very long term is: Are you working on something important or meaningful? “I think we are in a skewed world where we overweight the medium term, and we underweight some combination of the short term and the long term.” Thiel would recalibrate it to: “Focus on some combination of short term and long term. And forget about the medium term.”

David Hunter says the S&P could hit 10,000, while the NASDAQ could hit 36,000 before the end of the year. Don't worry, precious metal investors won't be left out, as he is also forecasting gold to hit $7,000, and silver to rise to $200 - all before a historic 70–80% market collapse. In our latest interview, David Hunter explains what could drive the final melt-up - and what comes after. Hunter explains why falling interest rates, a weaker U.S. dollar, strong corporate earnings, investor skepticism, and a powerful wave of FOMO could combine to drive one last explosive, parabolic surge across stocks and precious metals. 📢 This video is sponsored by iTrustCapital.

INSANE 💥 Gold just printed 6 consecutive green candles for the first time since 2018. Last time this happened, gold bottomed and rallied 73% over the next 2 years. Now the Iran war is moving closer to a possible end, oil prices are cooling, and markets are starting to price in lower geopolitical risk again. That could remove one of gold’s biggest short-term fear drivers. But historically, these types of moves usually happen when something much bigger is quietly changing underneath the global economy.

🚨🚨THE MONETARY PONZI 🚨🚨 The Gold and Silver Futures market inflate the actual supply. There is about 1oz of Silver for approximately 400 paper promises. You can only get the true value with Physical Silver and Gold not the fake creation. This is why Countries like India are pulling out of the price setting scheme LBMA as of April 1st 2026. The Domino's are starting to fall and Banks IMO are not safe.

And so, while Mnangagwa and his so-called adviser claim they are “rehabilitating the Mazowe River,” what is actually taking place is called gold sluicing. Common in artisanal and small-scale mining, especially along rivers. Widely practiced in parts of Asia, and South America. Gold sluicing is a traditional method of extracting gold from alluvial deposits—gold that has been eroded from rock and deposited in riverbeds, streams, and floodplains. The process involves using sacking material such as burlap, gunny sacks, old feed bags, or coarse netting as matting to trap gold particles. Gold-bearing soil, sand, and gravel are fed into a sluice channel. Through gravity separation, the heavier gold settles at the bottom while lighter material is washed away. The riffles and gunny-sack mats trap the dense gold particles and allow lighter debris to pass through. The trapped gold is then periodically collected from the sacks. Only the gullible and the uninformed ana Mutisi can be deceived by this charade.

The RBA is colluding with global banks against our national interest. In Estimates I asked the RBA how much it costs to store our gold with the Bank of England. They of course had to take it on notice. I asked if it would be worth storing our gold in the vaults of the RBA building, which is currently incurring a billion dollar bill to remove asbestos. At the bottom of the building are vaults which used to hold cash but given the decline in its usage they are now empty. They would be perfect to store gold bars. Notice how Chris Kent the RBA Deputy Governor literally chokes on his own anxiety as he argues it would cost too much to bring it home. Funny that. It didn’t cost to much to send it the Bank of England. And apparently it wouldn’t be able to be lent out if it was in Sydney. Yet again why is the RBA lending gold which works to lower the price received by Australian gold miners? The answer of course is because the RBA is a puppet of the International banking regime. Previously I’ve been told by the RBA the gold bars don’t move when they are lent out so what difference does it make as to where the gold bars are stored. The reality is that the International Banking regime has to keep the price of gold suppressed by manipulating its supply through artificial selling. Bankers rely on the creation of paper money to generate an income. As the paper market becomes more and more fragile with ever increasing amounts of debt, people and governments turn to gold to protect their wealth. The bankers are trying to protect their racquet for as long as possible before it all collapses. And I quote: “Renovating the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) headquarters is increasingly looking like a disastrous episode of home-building show Grand Designs. The key difference? The budget for the horror reno is now north of $1 billion. Documents obtained using the Freedom of Information (FOI) process detail the difficulty and unexpected expense of renovating the central bank's flagship office at 65 Martin Place in Sydney, built in 1964.” Quote from: #auspol

Let’s put all our gold bars on the table. “A random sample of 450 bars (8.55 per cent of the RBA's holdings) were selected by Audit and notified to the BoE prior to Audit's arrival on-site, hence the location and retrieval from the vaults was not witnessed!” •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In Estimates I asked the RBA if they would cooperate with the new U.S. administration when they audit the gold holdings at Fort Knox. Needless to say they took the answer on notice. It is however worth nothing that the claim by the RBA that an audit of Australia’s gold bars has been carried out is misleading. The RBA has carried out a “partial”audit of selected gold bars, only 460 of the 5,285 bars on hand and the RBA had to give prior notice of the bars they wanted to audit before they arrived. Had the RBA done their job properly they should have audited all 5,285 bars at the same time with no notice and observed the bars being removed from the vaults. Furthermore Audit reports should be done yearly, not every three years. You can read the audit report below. It’s worth nothing that the RBA has lent or swapped 1,202 bars of gold out or 22% of our entire gold holdings. These transactions are designed to force down the price of gold which is against Australia’s national interest as we are an exporter of gold. More worryingly is how do we know that the gold bars inspected by the RBA weren’t lent by another country on a short term basis to cover the audit. What is also concerning is the large amount of refining going on as evidenced by the large number of different refiners. Gold bars held by central banks should not move or be refined as it undermines confidence in their intentions. The only way to rectify this uncertainty is to audit all gold holdings at the same time and to stop lending/leasing gold bars. #auspol

Peter Thiel on how to think about the future “What you end up doing when you think of the future as indefinite is you pick a job that will be good on your resume because it will then lead to a different job later on.” Instead of viewing the future as indefinite, Thiel suggests that the students in the audience think of the future on three horizons: short term, medium term, and long term. And he defines them as follows: 1. Short term = Are you going to be happy and will you be learning a lot? 2. Medium term = How good is it on your resume? 3. Long term = Are you working on something important or meaningful? “I think we are in a skewed world where we overweight the medium term, and we underweight some combination of the short term and the long term.” Thiel recommends recalibrating it to: “Focus on some combination of short term and long term. And forget about the medium term.” Video source: Radical Discourse (2014)

GOLD Elon Musk Elon Musk is suggesting a live walk through and audit of Fort Knox. He isn’t saying there has been fraud but just suggesting a walk through and audit. Why? Well there’s a reason Fort Knox is both a place and a term of endearment for things that are impossible to access. Isn’t it important we know how much gold we have and that it's all there- that there is an accurate accounting? Today gold is an precious metal, used for jewelry, other manufacturing products that use gold, trading, store of value and other uses. Before introducing the FED and allowing central banks to control our money supply, our money supply was controlled by the amount of gold we had. You could never just print money unless there was gold to back it. Nixon ended that and power was turned over to the Federal Reserve. Why is gold being moved from UK banks to USA banks? Some say the UK has a lower conversion rate of gold to dollars. Some say there is a fear of tariffs on gold and the owners and traders want gold to be stored in the US to avoid tariffs. Others say traders fear tariffs will cause inflation and gold will be a better store of value or a hedge against inflation. Did you know there’s a literal fear and greed index that reflects, well, fear and greed in markets. Much of their fear is unfounded because gold doesn’t always fare well in a high tariff environment. That could lead to another discussion of how tariffs will be used as leverage as well as a balancing tool. At the end of the day, gold is being moved into Fort Knox since the inauguration and I think knowing how much we have and how it’s accounted for is an important task for President Trump and he should assign Elon Musk to the task. Rand Paul discusses the issue in this video.

Today gold is an precious metal, used for jewelry, other manufacturing products that use gold, trading, store of value and other uses. Before introducing the FED and allowing central banks to control our money supply, our money supply was controlled by the amount of gold we had. You could never just print money unless there was gold to back it. Nixon ended that and power was turned over to the Federal Reserve. Why is gold being moved from UK banks to USA banks? Some say the UK has a lower conversion rate of gold to dollars. Some say there is a fear of tariffs on gold and the owners and traders want gold to be stored in the US to avoid tariffs. Others say traders fear tariffs will cause inflation and gold will be a better store of value or a hedge against inflation. Did you know there’s a literal fear and greed index that reflects, well, fear and greed in markets. Much of their fear is unfounded because gold doesn’t always fare well in a high tariff environment. That could lead to another discussion of how tariffs will be used as leverage as well as a balancing tool. At the end of the day, gold is being moved into Fort Knox since the inauguration and I think knowing how much we have and how it’s accounted for is an important task for President Trump and he should assign Elon Musk to the task. Rand Paul discusses the issue in this video.

If you've been confused watching gold crash during this war, you're not alone. The financial media won't cover it but there are three macro conditions driving it's price down. Understanding these will help you decide whether to buy more or sell. Here's what they are: 1) The Oil Shock Margin Call Countries that import oil need dollars to pay for increased energy bills. Turkey imports 90% of its oil and 98% of its gas. They were forced to sell 58 tons of gold in two weeks to stay afloat, becoming responsible for the most selling pressure than every other gold ETF investor who are also selling. Countries relying on these imports are doing the same. 2) Currency Peg Defense Every Gulf state pegs their currency to the dollar, which upholds when oil money flows in. Since the Iran war shut the Strait of Hormuz, dollars are still flowing out through food imports, military costs, and capital flight. They have to sell gold to keep their currency stable instead of letting the peg break, which would lead to hyperinflation and economic collapse. 3) War Funding Russia sold $30 billion in gold last year and is banning gold exports over 100 grams starting April 2026. Poland is talking about liquidating $13 billion worth of it for defense spending. That's just two examples of countries converting gold reserves into cash for military spending. Gold crashed because three macro forces margin called entire countries at the same time. The thread below explains why none of this changes the long-term bull case for gold.

THIS GOLD BULL MARKET ISN’T 2008 (WHEN GOLD CRASHED WITH STOCKS) — IT’S 1971 ALL OVER AGAIN One keeps hearing “gold will crash with the S&P just like 2008” It’s scaring the hell out of mining stock investors. Momentum Structural Analysis, Jordan Roy-Byrne CMT, MFTA ⛏⛏ & others are pushing back hard — and their arguments are solid. I’m firmly in their camp. Jordan Roy-Byrne: 🚫 THIS IS NOT A 2008 REPEAT. Forget the last crisis. The setup for precious metals today is fundamentally different—and the potential is far greater. 1️⃣ CHRONIC UNDER-ALLOCATION Private wealth portfolios hold only ~0.4% in gold. Institutional allocations are just ~2.4%. These levels are far below 2008. ➡️ ETF flows are only at ~50% of their 2008 peak. ✅ What it means: A massive wall of money is still on the sidelines. There is enormous room for growth. 2️⃣ THE GOLD VS. PORTFOLIO RATIO IS JUST BREAKING OUT The Gold/60-40 Portfolio ratio broke a 10-year base in 2024. It's up 93% from its low. ➡️ In 2008, it rose 177% over 7 years. ➡️ In the 1970s, it exploded 441% in just 4 years. ✅ What it means: We are in the early-to-mid stages. This move is not extended; it's barely begun. 3️⃣ SECULAR BOND BEAR MARKET = 1970s PLAYBOOK We are in a long-term bond bear market, similar to 1965-1982. ➡️ When bonds fall, they offer no "safe haven" during equity sell-offs. ➡️ Money must find a real store of value. That value is gold & silver. What it means: This is the exact fuel that created the explosive 1971-1974 gold rally. History is repeating. THE TRIGGER TO WATCH: A decisive break below the 12-year uptrend line in the S&P 500 ÷ Gold ratio. This will be the signal for capital to flood from stocks into metals. TAKEAWAYS: ✅ Ignore the perpetual "crash" narrative. It has cost investors dearly since 2009. ✅ The next stock bear market will accelerate the metals bull market. The Bottom Line: This isn't 2008. This is a replay of the early 1970s—a period of under-ownership, monetary distrust, and a secular bond bear market that sent gold parabolic. The setup is complete; we are waiting on the catalyst. #Gold #Silver #PreciousMetals #BullMarket #Investing #Macro #Stocks #Bonds #Finance HT: Jordan Roy-Byrne CMT, MFTA ⛏⛏ - original video in the comment
