Then, when the stock market’s going down, it goes up. When inflation goes up, it’s going up. But that is absolutely not the point. That is not true. You see, gold is an emotional trade and you’re waiting to buy it when nobody wants it and then you sell it to the masses when everybody’s panicking to get it. But it’s not necessarily, it never goes up when a stock market crashes. And for years, I told people on the channel, it’s time to buy gold, time to buy silver. We bought it, right? And then it’s like, everybody pushes in, all right, get your initial investment back at a profit.

But then on top of it, get ready to sell it to everybody and then you’re going to see supply chain issues on the opposite side of what you think a supply chain issue is. You see, during COVID, gold and silver skyrocketed because they were in short supply. You couldn’t go down to a coin shop and go, hey, I want some silver. We’re sold out. That’s not the case right now. You’re being lied to because the price of gold and silver, primarily silver, were run up in futures markets in Asia. They want you to believe that there’s a shortage.

They showed you all these videos of people running around frantically. I was in Thailand during these times. There was nobody at the gold shop. I went in, there’s gold and silver in the case. And the fact of the matter is, right now, you’re seeing gold go up when the stock market goes up and it’s going down the days the stock market goes down. So the question is this, where do you think the stock market is headed? Do you think that Trump is just going to pump it full of opium when fuel prices are high, companies are laying off people, and inflation is continuing to rise? We’re about to go into a food shortage, and it’s not like you’re not going to see empty shelves in America.

You’re going to see empty shelves all around the world this summer. Watch what happens. You’re going to see those stories pick up. It’s not like a doom or gloom. You got to race out and go buy a bunch of stuff, but I’ll tell you what, I’d go out and buy a little toilet paper and a little bit extra canned vegetables. Sure, I’d do that. I would buy some extra beef and go and put it in your freezer, buy it at today’s prices because these fuel shocks, regardless of what happened yesterday in the stock market, because oil went down, the ripples have already been cast out into the pond.

You know, it’s interesting, and I’m not saying sell your gold. I haven’t sold any gold. I don’t have to because I have nine different baskets of investments, right? Cryptocurrency, precious metals, real estate, cash. I teach this in that Ninja 9 program. I haven’t gotten overweight because the crypto one went so big, and then I redistributed the profits into other baskets, which primarily is my cash basket. My cash basket is heavy because wealthy people, billionaires like Warren Buffett, that’s what they do. I just follow what billionaires do. Right now, I know people that are very famous in the gold and silver industry, and they are not buying precious metals.

Matter of fact, they were net sellers just recently. I can’t share who people are because I was asked not to, but that’s the facts. I think we’re in a world right now that is leaning so much, and I have to use it too, doom and gloom, right? That’s what gets clicks. But trying to educate people how to have that even keel kind of feeling, you know, that thing where it’s like, hey, as long as we’re well diversified, just like it says in the Bible, and we have our money in different baskets that are non-correlating assets spread around the world, we’re going to be okay because God knew too, hey, when one pops off, take the profits and disperse them into another one because there’s different cycles for all of these asset classes.

I’m not a buyer of gold right now. Even if gold went to $10,000, $15,000, that’s not that great of a deal when I’m watching, we’re staring down the barrel of a real estate downturn that I could be picking up tax liens, deeds, foreclosures, or even the other day where I saw property go 50 cents on the dollar for the price per square foot. This is happening right now. There are people that are bailing out of properties right now. Just talked to a buddy, and he said his neighbor gave away his house at a fire sale.

But you know what’s funny? You know what’s funny about that? He said, he goes, he comes up to me, he goes, hey, dude, anything you want in the house, and it’s a nice house you could have. He goes inside all his flat screen TVs, brand new refrigerator, all these lake toys. He’s like, why would you want to give this away? And he goes, well, I would just have to, and he told me he’s always very successful. He was a wealthy man. So I just have to bring it home. I don’t know what I’d do with it.

And I said, because that’s what wealthy people do. You see, they’re cutting bait. He goes, I’d rather take a loss right now, and then go buy up all these other properties down the road for pennies on the dollar and get out now while I can. And I don’t even have the time to drag this stuff home. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure because that man knows that his time is so valuable, he’s going to go over here and just go make a ton more money with his mind rather than going and getting a U-Haul truck.

I hope he got something out of this because things aren’t what they seem because most people don’t understand economic cycles. And this is a really good one right now. All right, that being said, the economic ninja is out. [tr:trw].
