Amidst the global economy’s ever-changing tides, citizens must remain vigilant of the forces shaping our financial future. Over the past few decades, I have dedicated myself to studying metals markets and observing the persistent growth of U.S. debt, which has reached a point where servicing this financial juggernaut toward collapse seems inevitable. As a gold and silver aficionado, my weekly articles delve into these pressing economic factors to provide a beacon of clarity for those seeking guidance.

The signals are becoming more intense to those discerning readers: the Federal Reserve’s latest bid to resuscitate the ailing economy through asset purchases has done little more than apply a temporary bandage. Rates are creeping up once more, with the U.S. 10-year Bond Yield now steadfastly refusing to stay down after a few days of Fed money printing remains starkly elevated at 4.27%. It is as if we are counting down the final ticks of the clock for a dollar-based debt currency life cycle.

Let us consider the day’s spot prices. Gold glitters at an astounding $3133.98 per ounce, bolstering its unwavering role as a wealth-preserving colossus in times of turbulence. Silver, modestly positioned at $34.35, suggests an under appreciation given the current gold-to-silver ratio (G/S) of 92.31, hinting at a latent potential ripe for the savvy investor. We must not overlook other precious players: platinum at $989.12 and palladium at $997.37 per ounce, as well as the industrial backbone, copper, currently priced at $5.057 per pound—each metal an integral thread in the economic tapestry.

Turning our attention to the volatile sphere of cryptocurrency, behemoths such as Bitcoin, now at an imposing $83592, and Ethereum, at $1862, continue to enchant investors. However, one cannot help but recall tulip mania when considering these digital assets. While grounded in a collective yearning for monetary alternatives, the stark reality must temper their appeal that they lack the physical tangibility and historical consensus that underpin precious metals.

The crypto markets have many deep-pocketed supporters, not the least of which are the infinite money producers: central banks. It has been decided that cryptos will be used to baby-step into the coming central bank digital currency beast money system. So, we should not despair as much as the current downturn in crypto prices. Saddle up now while prices are much lower, and hang on for the coming explosion in many crypto prices.

Regarding commodities, oil remains a yardstick for global economic health. U.S. Crude Oil is priced at $71.51, and Mont Belvieu LHD Propane is priced at a meager $0.57, reflecting energy’s perennial dance with supply, demand, and geopolitical chess. With rising inflation and the deliberate destruction of the currency, oil prices have remained sticky and lower, likely due to a good short-term supply and Americans’ need to stay home and ride the collapsing economy out.

The pieces of the puzzle fall into place as we recognize the symbiotic rise in the Federal Reserve’s Money Supply and the concerning acceleration of money velocity. The outcome? Inevitable inflation. As money races through the economy, the less time it spends in one’s hands, the less it’s worth—eroding the purchasing power of debts and savings.

Behind this economic charade are the political machinations that distort free markets. Contrary to popular belief, Western economies are marionettes in an orchestrated show of fiscal illusion. Market manipulation and monetary policy craze yield inefficiencies and economies built on shaky ground, far from the free-market ideal.

Recognizing the signs, savvy investors must think beyond the failing debt-based paper currency system. Silver reflects a deep potential as gold spot prices soar and bond yields heighten; these are not murmurings but clamorous alerts for imminent action.

Note: Many people are buying the hype about a silver short about to explode at PLSV. I personally have watched silver-short calls fail to produce the hype – why? Central banks and governments have the most to lose when the silver price rises fast, which creates high volatility in the debt market.

Rising silver prices will bring dump truckloads of newly printed currency to paper over the issue for as long as possible. At this time we are watching the governments of the world drown in debt payments, and I believe that silver is the primary controlling factor, the finger in the dyke,  preventing massive losses in the confidence of these pretended currencies. With silver prices spiking, many automatic financial controls kick in, affecting the stability of many derivative contracts. 

I can say this now: silver is about to take off in a much bigger way, and with prices in the mid-30s, we will soon make bigger jumps toward the magical $50 level, and then it is open sky!  

The time to buy silver as cheaply as it is today may be coming to an end!

The paths to personal economic resilience lie in tangible wealth—physical gold and silver, pre-1965 coins, and even alternate precious metals—all instruments to fortify against the collapse. We are not mere spectators but actors who must prepare and position ourselves advantageously. It is time to assemble our financial first-aid kits lined with the gilded fabric of precious metals.

While my discourse may seem steeped in dire predictions, it is not without a message of empowerment. As the debt markets teeter on the brink of a liquidity crisis that could topple the dollar’s supremacy, those holding the physical reality of gold and silver might emerge not as casualties of war but as champions in a new economic era.

Reflect on the economic panorama and consider where true security lies. In the wake of our economy’s deliberate erosion, now magnified by rising interest rates and a Federal Reserve seemingly at the end of its monetary rope, the defense arises in the form of solid assets.

To fortify against a budding liquidity crisis, let us become prudent stewards of our resources. Let us not be castaways in a post-debt market world but beacons of preparation and foresight. Recall that politics and policy are inextricably entwined with economics; the manipulation of markets has brought us here, and knowledge of these forces could guide us toward safety.

In conclusion, the indicators of an economic downturn are not merely factors but harbingers demanding our immediate attention. As we witness the potential downfall of our current financial system, it is incumbent upon us all to safeguard our future by acquiring and preserving wealth in its truest form—physical precious metals. Let us take heed and act not out of fear but out of conviction, for the value of tomorrow may well depend upon the choices made today.
