Questions:

What makes ITM trading different from other precious metals dealers?

When you talk about precious metals as an insurance policy, would you please explain what you mean by that?

What can we do if the government decides to and this is from one of my clients, What can we do if the government decides to punish precious metal holders for being out of the system? Suppose they won’t allow us to convert our gold and silver into the digital currency or allow ITM to buy it back from us?

When my fiat money becomes worthless, how will I be able to use my gold and silver during that time?

Yeah. Learning how to barter is such a huge question because we are not a barter society.

How will I know when the time is right to convert my gold and silver into other assets?

What do you think will be the first domino to fall?

And I do not like I do not like I do not like what is happening in the ten-year Treasury market. That was going to be my next question is that how they’re suffering us to stay in the system by giving us five and a half percent interest or whatever it is on the Treasury bonds?

Okay. Last question. When you talk about the strategy, you talk about what we need, how the strategy is going to help us survive and get through this economic chaos and thrive. How do we know when the right time is to exit and how does it help us with this exit strategy?

00:00:00:00 – 00:00:04:22
I’m not saying chief market analyst here at ITM trading a full service

00:00:04:23 – 00:00:10:02
physical gold and silver dealer specializing in custom strategies.

00:00:10:04 – 00:00:14:13
And today we’re doing a little bit different where I’m getting asked

00:00:14:15 – 00:00:18:06
the typical question that a lot of people ask.

00:00:18:09 – 00:00:23:23
And so let’s just see if we can answer for everybody.

00:00:23:26 – 00:00:26:18
What makes ITM trading different

00:00:26:18 – 00:00:29:18
from other precious metals dealers?

00:00:29:21 – 00:00:32:00
Wow. That is a really good question.

00:00:32:00 – 00:00:36:01
For one thing, we’ve been around since 95 and there are a lot of new people

00:00:36:01 – 00:00:37:11
that have come in.

00:00:37:11 – 00:00:41:21
But it’s the quality and the caliber of the people that are here.

00:00:41:23 – 00:00:46:01
For example, I’ve been here since 2002 and I

00:00:46:06 – 00:00:50:18
definitely have been an integral part in the development of ITM trading.

00:00:50:23 – 00:00:53:23
And I’ve studied currencies and currency lifecycles

00:00:53:27 – 00:00:56:27
since 1987.

00:00:56:28 – 00:00:58:13
I don’t know.

00:00:58:13 – 00:01:00:01
I mean, I’m sure there are other people

00:01:00:01 – 00:01:03:01
that have studied this, but I personally don’t know them.

00:01:03:01 – 00:01:06:01
And so I would ask you guys, do you know them?

00:01:06:04 – 00:01:10:12
And in those studies, though, the strategy that we use

00:01:10:12 – 00:01:15:26
and we have a strategy, the basis of which is the same for everybody.

00:01:15:28 – 00:01:19:10
Because in my studies of currencies

00:01:19:10 – 00:01:23:12
and currency lifecycles, I see repeatable patterns.

00:01:23:12 – 00:01:26:21
So these are things that happen and there’s lots and lots

00:01:26:21 – 00:01:28:06
and lots of data because there’s

00:01:28:06 – 00:01:32:13
lots of government currencies that simply do not exist anymore.

00:01:32:16 – 00:01:36:23
And they all go through these same kind of cycles and patterns.

00:01:36:25 – 00:01:41:13
So we utilize this historic pattern

00:01:41:15 – 00:01:45:28
to help people create a strategy

00:01:46:01 – 00:01:49:11
that puts their best interests first.

00:01:49:13 – 00:01:54:05
So everybody here, including me, utilizes the same strategy,

00:01:54:07 – 00:01:58:04
but then we tweak it and customize it based upon

00:01:58:04 – 00:02:03:28
your particular circumstance and goals and what you have to work with.

00:02:04:00 – 00:02:05:17
And that’s the way it should be.

00:02:05:17 – 00:02:09:14
I mean, I you know, I don’t know how old people are out there,

00:02:09:16 – 00:02:11:18
but everybody has different goals.

00:02:11:18 – 00:02:15:17
So we work with a strategy

00:02:15:24 – 00:02:19:24
to help you put your best interests first.

00:02:19:24 – 00:02:22:09
And education is the key.

00:02:22:09 – 00:02:25:06
Don’t take our word for anything.

00:02:25:06 – 00:02:28:06
Follow the links that we provide you

00:02:28:13 – 00:02:32:28
to the guys that are in power and see what they are saying.

00:02:32:28 – 00:02:35:18
See what they’re doing for themselves.

00:02:35:18 – 00:02:38:05
So we’re an evidence based strategy.

00:02:38:05 – 00:02:39:10
Strategy.

00:02:39:10 – 00:02:41:00
That’s what we utilize here.

00:02:41:00 – 00:02:43:26
And that’s what really makes us different.

00:02:43:26 – 00:02:47:22
And we have long term it’s not just you buy something from us.

00:02:47:23 – 00:02:48:28
Good luck to you.

00:02:48:28 – 00:02:53:13
This is a long term relationship and you’re part of a community.

00:02:53:16 – 00:02:56:23
When you join item trading,

00:02:56:26 – 00:02:57:21
when you talk

00:02:57:21 – 00:03:01:11
about precious metals as an insurance policy,

00:03:01:13 – 00:03:05:05
would you please explain what you mean by that?

00:03:05:08 – 00:03:09:16
Well, according to the Bank for International Settlements,

00:03:09:18 – 00:03:13:19
gold is the only financial asset

00:03:13:21 – 00:03:17:13
that runs, you know, counterparty risk.

00:03:17:16 – 00:03:21:14
So if you’re going to have a properly

00:03:21:14 – 00:03:25:22
diversified portfolio, everything else that you’re doing in there,

00:03:25:28 – 00:03:31:20
stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, annuities, any of that stuff,

00:03:31:22 – 00:03:36:10
all of that are contracts and run counterparty risk.

00:03:36:13 – 00:03:39:01
Gold balances that out

00:03:39:01 – 00:03:42:13
creates a truly diversified portfolio.

00:03:42:20 – 00:03:47:08
So like right now you have the stocks and the bonds and all of these other

00:03:47:08 – 00:03:52:20
fiat money assets that are at nosebleed levels, they’re severely overvalued.

00:03:52:22 – 00:03:56:25
But a rise in gold price is an indication of a failing currency.

00:03:56:27 – 00:04:02:06
So you have the spot gold price, which is a contract price

00:04:02:09 – 00:04:05:26
that is severely undervalued.

00:04:05:28 – 00:04:08:12
That will flip flop.

00:04:08:12 – 00:04:14:09
So gold as the great equalizer and the only financial asset that runs

00:04:14:09 – 00:04:18:11
no counterparty risks can ensure

00:04:18:14 – 00:04:21:07
that you can recoup your principal.

00:04:21:07 – 00:04:26:09
Or part of the strategy, too, is how gold can recoup

00:04:26:16 – 00:04:29:18
any of your lost income,

00:04:29:23 – 00:04:33:23
any fees, any taxes, any losses.

00:04:33:25 – 00:04:36:18
So when we talk about it as insurance,

00:04:36:18 – 00:04:39:26
since it is also the only financial asset

00:04:39:28 – 00:04:43:27
that is accepted on a global basis

00:04:44:03 – 00:04:47:21
and has a truly global market because it’s used in every sector

00:04:47:21 – 00:04:52:12
of the global economy, therefore there’s always demand for it.

00:04:52:14 – 00:04:53:07
That’s really

00:04:53:07 – 00:04:56:07
what we’re talking about with insurance,

00:04:56:09 – 00:05:00:25
because its most important aspect is its ability

00:05:00:25 – 00:05:06:18
to hold your purchasing power, even over time.

00:05:06:20 – 00:05:08:09
So the spot market can make it

00:05:08:09 – 00:05:10:19
look however they want to make because it just contracts

00:05:10:19 – 00:05:13:11
and they can create as many of those as they want to.

00:05:13:11 – 00:05:15:01
That’s not a big deal.

00:05:15:01 – 00:05:19:25
But when you go to the physical world that’s used in every single marketplace,

00:05:19:28 – 00:05:23:09
the premiums will go up no matter what happens with the spot

00:05:23:09 – 00:05:26:16
price based upon supply and demand.

00:05:26:18 – 00:05:29:25
And its most important function is to hold

00:05:29:25 – 00:05:32:25
your purchasing power intact over time.

00:05:32:28 – 00:05:35:17
And it’s done that for 6000 years.

00:05:35:17 – 00:05:38:14
So that’s how it ensures

00:05:38:14 – 00:05:42:11
that you can still purchase things

00:05:42:15 – 00:05:47:04
no matter what happens with these other fiat money assets.

00:05:47:07 – 00:05:47:27
And by the way,

00:05:47:27 – 00:05:50:29
if I’m not clear enough or if you have any question, go ahead

00:05:50:29 – 00:05:54:17
and ask a follow up question on it, because other people will tell.

00:05:54:19 – 00:05:58:05
What can we do if the government decides to

00:05:58:05 – 00:06:01:05
and this is from one of my clients,

00:06:01:11 – 00:06:05:16
What can we do if the government decides to punish

00:06:05:18 – 00:06:09:26
precious metal holders for being out of the system?

00:06:10:03 – 00:06:13:25
Suppose they won’t allow us to convert our gold

00:06:13:25 – 00:06:19:06
and silver into the digital currency or allow ITM to buy it back from us?

00:06:19:09 – 00:06:23:01
That is certainly something that is a possibility.

00:06:23:03 – 00:06:26:18
But that is also why personally I do

00:06:26:18 – 00:06:32:13
not buy any bullion, which is the new stuff, right.

00:06:32:16 – 00:06:35:17
I only buy the collectible gold coins.

00:06:35:24 – 00:06:40:17
And the reason for that is that that is what the one percenters

00:06:40:17 – 00:06:42:11
buy for themselves.

00:06:42:11 – 00:06:47:04
And we can witness that in the ultra rarities charts that its all time highs.

00:06:47:05 – 00:06:48:05
Right.

00:06:48:05 – 00:06:52:23
Because if somebody you know, there are coins in there that can go for 8

00:06:52:23 – 00:06:57:28
million, $15 million for an ounce of gold, and anybody that can afford

00:06:57:28 – 00:07:01:23
that is likely to be somebody that writes the laws

00:07:01:25 – 00:07:06:12
or has the ability to influence those that write the laws.

00:07:06:15 – 00:07:12:08
So today, precious metals, people that buy precious metals are being punished.

00:07:12:08 – 00:07:14:14
We’re paying more in taxes. Right.

00:07:14:14 – 00:07:17:12
Because they want to encourage you to be in the system

00:07:17:12 – 00:07:20:12
and discourage you to be outside of the system.

00:07:20:16 – 00:07:24:20
But if they choose to do

00:07:24:23 – 00:07:25:20
an overt

00:07:25:20 – 00:07:30:02
confiscation, because certainly that is a covert confiscation.

00:07:30:08 – 00:07:32:27
So as is inflation,

00:07:32:27 – 00:07:35:09
then you want in my opinion,

00:07:35:09 – 00:07:39:05
I want to be in the kind of gold that is least

00:07:39:05 – 00:07:43:12
likely to be impacted by that, which would be the kind of gold

00:07:43:18 – 00:07:48:05
that the one percenters and the lawmakers buy for themselves.

00:07:48:07 – 00:07:52:01
Didn’t they create that collectible gold market?

00:07:52:03 – 00:07:53:04
They always do.

00:07:53:04 – 00:07:57:22
They always create loopholes so that the public

00:07:57:24 – 00:08:01:11
is the one that loses everything, but they get to keep it.

00:08:01:18 – 00:08:02:24
So, yes, they did.

00:08:02:24 – 00:08:09:17
It was Treasury Secretary Wooden, who in 1933 put in that little caveat,

00:08:09:19 – 00:08:13:05
you know, coins that were minted prior to 33 having

00:08:13:10 – 00:08:16:09
special value due to collectors,

00:08:16:09 – 00:08:19:27
which was a pretty broad way to say it.

00:08:20:00 – 00:08:20:28
Yeah, but in theory.

00:08:20:28 – 00:08:25:12
But the coins that they confiscated or recalled in

00:08:25:12 – 00:08:29:18
33 were the liberties and the saint-gaudens Exactly.

00:08:29:18 – 00:08:33:14
Didn’t happen until after they stopped

00:08:33:14 – 00:08:36:14
minting them and destroyed the coins.

00:08:36:15 – 00:08:38:14
no, that was written right in.

00:08:38:14 – 00:08:44:18
The difference was in the people’s understanding of the laws versus those

00:08:44:18 – 00:08:47:28
that wrote those laws and their friends

00:08:48:00 – 00:08:51:00
understanding of the laws.

00:08:51:04 – 00:08:55:29
And another great example of that was, I believe it was 1964

00:08:56:01 – 00:09:01:25
when they allowed gold contracts back into the system.

00:09:01:28 – 00:09:04:19
Now, you could not convert those contracts

00:09:04:19 – 00:09:07:26
in 1964 into the physical metal,

00:09:07:26 – 00:09:10:26
which was still illegal to hold more than five ounces.

00:09:11:03 – 00:09:13:15
But you could buy those contracts.

00:09:13:15 – 00:09:16:12
And so did the public know about those contracts?

00:09:16:12 – 00:09:18:13
Had no, they didn’t know about them.

00:09:18:13 – 00:09:23:12
But those that were in power that knew that a change was coming,

00:09:23:15 – 00:09:26:13
they were the ones that bought those contracts,

00:09:26:13 – 00:09:30:18
held them until we saw a spot, you know, go up.

00:09:30:18 – 00:09:34:13
And it was legal to own the physical again.

00:09:34:15 – 00:09:37:15
So who was the one who’s always the ones that benefit?

00:09:37:21 – 00:09:40:10
The ones that write the contracts and write the laws.

00:09:40:10 – 00:09:42:27
That’s the side I want to be on.

00:09:42:27 – 00:09:45:11
Everybody else gets to do whatever they want, but that’s

00:09:45:11 – 00:09:46:10
where I’m comfortable.

00:09:46:10 – 00:09:50:02
How would you define bullion?

00:09:50:05 – 00:09:53:12
Anything that really it’s defined as anything

00:09:53:12 – 00:09:57:24
that is minted after 33, although you’ve got some caveats in there.

00:09:58:01 – 00:10:03:01
So the easy way to do it for me is look at what you can hold inside of an IRA.

00:10:03:04 – 00:10:05:28
And if you can hold it inside of an I.R.A.

00:10:05:28 – 00:10:07:23
is bullion.

00:10:07:23 – 00:10:10:02
So that means that people that think

00:10:10:02 – 00:10:13:18
that gold coins are not bullion,

00:10:13:18 – 00:10:17:06
if they were minted after 1933,

00:10:17:09 – 00:10:20:18
they are that gold bullion by.

00:10:20:20 – 00:10:22:29
They are to be. Yes.

00:10:22:29 – 00:10:27:19
Although there is a little caveat that President Kennedy wrote in

00:10:27:19 – 00:10:31:27
when he wanted to import a lot of gold coins.

00:10:32:00 – 00:10:36:24
So I’m comfortable with those things like Swiss francs.

00:10:37:00 – 00:10:41:08
But pre 48, pre 48, because they minted a lot of,

00:10:41:10 – 00:10:44:06
you know, re strikes after that date.

00:10:44:06 – 00:10:46:21
So pre 1948

00:10:46:21 – 00:10:51:03
British sovereigns, you know, so the early gold coins

00:10:51:03 – 00:10:57:19
have a similar level of protection and you cannot hold those in an I.R.A..

00:10:57:22 – 00:11:01:14
So those are in a different collectible classification

00:11:01:20 – 00:11:03:24
and that’s what you want to be in.

00:11:03:24 – 00:11:07:09
When my fiat money becomes worthless,

00:11:07:12 – 00:11:13:11
how will I be able to use my gold and silver during that time?

00:11:13:13 – 00:11:16:02
So, you know, there’s different kinds of gold

00:11:16:02 – 00:11:18:02
and there’s different kinds of silver.

00:11:18:02 – 00:11:23:12
But when your fiat becomes worthless, you know, there will be some agencies

00:11:23:12 – 00:11:28:07
like government agencies, state agencies, when you have to pay taxes.

00:11:28:07 – 00:11:29:08
Right.

00:11:29:08 – 00:11:34:04
So part of the strategy is about enabling you to always pay

00:11:34:04 – 00:11:37:12
your property taxes because you’re going to have your house paid off.

00:11:37:19 – 00:11:41:03
And if you’re not paying your property taxes, you can lose the property.

00:11:41:05 – 00:11:45:08
So there are different kinds of gold and silver for different kinds

00:11:45:08 – 00:11:48:09
of functions, and it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

00:11:48:09 – 00:11:50:19
So I’ll just give you a couple of examples.

00:11:50:19 – 00:11:53:21
But then I would say that what people really need to do

00:11:53:27 – 00:11:57:17
is talk to the consultants and so that they can get more specific

00:11:57:24 – 00:11:59:29
to those specific needs.

00:11:59:29 – 00:12:02:14
But for example,

00:12:02:17 – 00:12:03:14
when I’m looking

00:12:03:14 – 00:12:09:24
at the kind of bar admirable is gold, it refers back to either

00:12:09:24 – 00:12:16:04
the fractional pre 33 gold coins or those foreign gold coins.

00:12:16:06 – 00:12:21:27
And I like to use those for property taxes and things like that.

00:12:21:29 – 00:12:25:26
So in that case, you would convert it into the new currency

00:12:25:29 – 00:12:29:22
and you would pay your taxes with that.

00:12:29:25 – 00:12:31:21
Other than that, I really like

00:12:31:21 – 00:12:35:05
silver better for barter ability.

00:12:35:08 – 00:12:40:24
So if I needed to put a gallon of gas in my tank or I needed to to buy

00:12:40:24 – 00:12:44:27
some strawberries or something like that, that’s what I would use.

00:12:44:29 – 00:12:48:26
Now, if you’re working with a government agency on like taxes,

00:12:48:26 – 00:12:51:26
you’re going to have to convert it to whatever the current currency is.

00:12:52:02 – 00:12:55:22
But if you’re working locally with individuals,

00:12:55:29 – 00:12:59:00
they really do get that they cannot replace

00:12:59:00 – 00:13:02:24
what they’re selling you for because of hyperinflation

00:13:02:27 – 00:13:05:27
that they’re going to get you to pay for.

00:13:05:27 – 00:13:09:16
So they would prefer like we’ve seen in a number of countries,

00:13:09:24 – 00:13:13:15
they would prefer to be paid in gold or silver,

00:13:13:17 – 00:13:16:15
and they typically will have

00:13:16:15 – 00:13:19:10
okay, it’s this much, this much gold,

00:13:19:10 – 00:13:22:12
this much silver or this much paper

00:13:22:12 – 00:13:26:10
or other currencies that they have a little more confidence in.

00:13:26:12 – 00:13:31:24
So in those cases, you’re actually going to use it directly.

00:13:31:27 – 00:13:34:10
Okay. Now,

00:13:34:12 – 00:13:36:27
there are some things that

00:13:36:27 – 00:13:40:15
you might not want to like clip a little piece off of.

00:13:40:15 – 00:13:43:17
There are other things that you would like to clip a little piece.

00:13:43:18 – 00:13:45:26
You wouldn’t care about clipping a little piece off.

00:13:45:26 – 00:13:49:22
Like, everybody’s seen my sterling silver chopsticks, right?

00:13:49:24 – 00:13:53:23
If I were to cut one of those, that wouldn’t matter to me.

00:13:54:00 – 00:13:54:27
Right.

00:13:54:27 – 00:14:00:15
So you want to have a variety of sizes as much as possible.

00:14:00:17 – 00:14:04:27
And that’s why I kind of like the pre 1964 dimes

00:14:04:27 – 00:14:09:25
quarters, half dollars dollars, because then I have a variety of sizes.

00:14:09:27 – 00:14:14:00
But keep in mind that anything that is

00:14:14:00 – 00:14:19:15
gold or silver is monetary added space, like those chopsticks

00:14:19:17 – 00:14:23:22
which are sterling silver, and that means they’re 92 and a half percent pure.

00:14:23:25 – 00:14:28:11
So, you know, you’re going to be bartering with in two different ways.

00:14:28:18 – 00:14:32:01
You’re either going to have to convert it into the current currency to pay it

00:14:32:01 – 00:14:36:12
if it’s a government agency or anything that’s associated with that,

00:14:36:15 – 00:14:40:23
that they’re going to require you to do that or an individual

00:14:40:25 – 00:14:41:27
that you’re going to work with it

00:14:41:27 – 00:14:45:23
directly and people are going to prefer to be paid in gold and silver

00:14:45:23 – 00:14:51:19
because at that point they’re well aware of the rapid devaluation of the currency.

00:14:51:22 – 00:14:52:12
Yeah.

00:14:52:12 – 00:14:56:03
Learning how to barter is such a huge question

00:14:56:03 – 00:14:59:11
because we are not a barter society.

00:14:59:13 – 00:15:01:19
That’s actually not true.

00:15:01:19 – 00:15:04:17
We barter for our work

00:15:04:17 – 00:15:07:17
and we get paid in fiat money

00:15:07:20 – 00:15:12:04
and then we convert and barter with that fiat money

00:15:12:08 – 00:15:15:20
for the goods and services that we need.

00:15:15:23 – 00:15:19:06
So it’s just that we’ve been

00:15:19:08 – 00:15:22:08
taught to not think of it like that.

00:15:22:12 – 00:15:26:00
But in reality, not only do

00:15:26:00 – 00:15:31:09
we barter with the fiat money all the time as a tool of barter,

00:15:31:12 – 00:15:35:26
but there’s also growing barter communities,

00:15:35:28 – 00:15:39:12
which is something that I do try and show you.

00:15:39:15 – 00:15:40:24
Right.

00:15:40:24 – 00:15:46:00
So there are a lot more people bartering for goods and services

00:15:46:03 – 00:15:51:02
with labor, with with other things, anything physical as barter.

00:15:51:06 – 00:15:54:06
All right, You have a cookie. That’s yummy.

00:15:54:11 – 00:15:55:17
And I have a glass.

00:15:55:17 – 00:15:57:20
You need the glass to make the cookies.

00:15:57:20 – 00:15:58:27
And I need the cookies.

00:15:58:27 – 00:16:01:27
Okay. We barter, we trade.

00:16:02:00 – 00:16:05:25
So start looking at what you’re doing.

00:16:06:02 – 00:16:07:00
Right.

00:16:07:00 – 00:16:10:13
And when you use the credit card or use cash

00:16:10:21 – 00:16:15:00
or anything like that, you are bartering.

00:16:15:06 – 00:16:19:29
How can you translate that into using the equivalent of gold and silver?

00:16:20:01 – 00:16:23:23
Because once once we hit hyper inflation,

00:16:23:26 – 00:16:27:12
people understand how rapidly the currency is losing value,

00:16:27:12 – 00:16:30:22
just like the high inflation that has gotten everybody up in arms.

00:16:30:25 – 00:16:32:02
Right.

00:16:32:02 – 00:16:33:23
Well, they have inflation under control.

00:16:33:23 – 00:16:37:24
that just means the prices are rising a little less slowly.

00:16:37:26 – 00:16:39:17
It’s not under control.

00:16:39:17 – 00:16:40:17
Okay. Okay.

00:16:40:17 – 00:16:43:29
How will I know when the time is right

00:16:44:03 – 00:16:48:24
to convert my gold and silver into other assets?

00:16:48:27 – 00:16:52:07
Well, number one, if you watch my videos,

00:16:52:07 – 00:16:55:13
you see, I’m always talking about the different formation patterns.

00:16:55:20 – 00:16:57:29
But subscribe, right?

00:16:57:29 – 00:17:00:25
I’m going to tell you what I’m doing.

00:17:00:25 – 00:17:04:02
But pattern shifts and pattern

00:17:04:02 – 00:17:07:02
foundations are really the key.

00:17:07:08 – 00:17:11:03
Because if you think about it, everything has a life cycle.

00:17:11:06 – 00:17:15:28
And what I try and teach in my videos is where we are in that life cycle.

00:17:16:00 – 00:17:17:29
It’s like I’m 69.

00:17:17:29 – 00:17:21:21
You’re not going to think I’m going to be eight like my granddaughter, and

00:17:21:21 – 00:17:26:14
you’re not going to look at her at eight and think, she’s going to be 70 next year.

00:17:26:16 – 00:17:27:11
Right.

00:17:27:11 – 00:17:31:27
So if you if you can learn how to recognize those patterns,

00:17:31:27 – 00:17:36:03
which I talk about a lot in my videos and always have,

00:17:36:06 – 00:17:39:00
then you’re going to know that independently.

00:17:39:00 – 00:17:43:08
But also as long as I’m around and I’m planning on being here

00:17:43:08 – 00:17:50:11
through this trend cycle, then I’ll tell you when I’m making the shift.

00:17:50:14 – 00:17:51:11
Thank you.

00:17:51:11 – 00:17:53:06
It would be very helpful.

00:17:53:06 – 00:17:55:09
Absolutely. Absolutely.

00:17:55:09 – 00:18:01:17
What do you think will be the first domino to fall?

00:18:01:19 – 00:18:04:24
Well, I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that question.

00:18:05:00 – 00:18:08:09
Well, the stock market. The housing market.

00:18:08:12 – 00:18:09:25
Well, I think I’ll probably.

00:18:09:25 – 00:18:11:26
I think we’ve already seen that domino.

00:18:11:26 – 00:18:15:20
And I think it was in the regional banks and what’s happening in the Treasury

00:18:15:20 – 00:18:17:17
bond markets.

00:18:17:17 – 00:18:19:10
So I think it’s already happening.

00:18:19:10 – 00:18:23:21
I don’t think that I’m waiting for those dominoes to fall, which is why

00:18:23:26 – 00:18:26:26
a lot of people have heard a lot more urgency.

00:18:26:29 – 00:18:27:14
Okay.

00:18:27:14 – 00:18:30:03
It’s because I’m watching the dominoes fall.

00:18:30:03 – 00:18:34:06
The problem is, is that those that are in the markets can see them.

00:18:34:09 – 00:18:34:28
Right.

00:18:34:28 – 00:18:37:28
But the general public can’t see them.

00:18:38:05 – 00:18:42:04
And once the general public does see them,

00:18:42:06 – 00:18:44:05
it’s game over.

00:18:44:05 – 00:18:46:02
Think about 2008.

00:18:46:02 – 00:18:49:23
Who you know, Did I know you happened to be there

00:18:49:23 – 00:18:54:17
in July of 2007 when I said something very nasty?

00:18:54:17 – 00:18:57:15
This way comes because I saw technical signals.

00:18:57:15 – 00:18:58:22
Right? Right.

00:18:58:22 – 00:19:01:28
And you all thought I was crazy.

00:19:02:00 – 00:19:03:16
this is absurd.

00:19:03:16 – 00:19:04:03
Yeah.

00:19:04:03 – 00:19:06:29
I mean, you know, this is the best the economy’s ever been.

00:19:06:29 – 00:19:08:05
That good.

00:19:08:05 – 00:19:10:07
And I said something very nasty.

00:19:10:07 – 00:19:11:16
This way comes.

00:19:11:16 – 00:19:16:18
So just because you, the public, don’t see that it’s got to be covered up

00:19:16:18 – 00:19:20:15
because they need you to remain vulnerable.

00:19:20:17 – 00:19:21:29
Right. They need you to.

00:19:21:29 – 00:19:24:29
That’s how they transfer your wealth their way.

00:19:25:00 – 00:19:29:03
So I’m saying I’ve already seen the first dominoes fall.

00:19:29:04 – 00:19:34:20
We saw it in in the first quarter with SBB Bank and the regional banks.

00:19:34:27 – 00:19:36:16
That issue is not over yet.

00:19:36:16 – 00:19:39:02
We just recently had another bank failure.

00:19:39:02 – 00:19:42:08
That issue ain’t over yet.

00:19:42:10 – 00:19:44:04
So, yeah, they’re falling.

00:19:44:04 – 00:19:47:06
And I do not like I do not like

00:19:47:06 – 00:19:52:26
I do not like what is happening in the in the ten year Treasury market.

00:19:52:27 – 00:19:55:03
That was going to be my next question

00:19:55:03 – 00:19:59:06
is that how they’re suffering us to stay in the system by giving us

00:19:59:09 – 00:20:03:13
five and a half percent interest or whatever it is on the Treasury bonds?

00:20:03:16 – 00:20:07:06
Well, are they you know, it’s a double edged sword.

00:20:07:07 – 00:20:10:22
The five and a half percent is because they are, quote unquote,

00:20:10:22 – 00:20:15:19
fighting inflation, because the theory is you raise rates,

00:20:15:23 – 00:20:20:29
fewer people borrow and spend, and that slows down the inflation rate.

00:20:21:01 – 00:20:24:12
Well, it works if you’re not at the very end

00:20:24:15 – 00:20:28:06
of the trend cycle, but there’s no purchase power left.

00:20:28:09 – 00:20:33:09
So the big problem with the Treasury market is that we’re told

00:20:33:12 – 00:20:36:15
we’re taught that that is the largest

00:20:36:15 – 00:20:39:23
and most liquid pool of assets.

00:20:39:25 – 00:20:41:27
It ain’t so liquid anymore.

00:20:41:27 – 00:20:45:23
We started seeing cracks in that in 2015.

00:20:45:25 – 00:20:48:25
So, yes, I’ve been talking about this forever,

00:20:49:00 – 00:20:54:14
but just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not so.

00:20:54:16 – 00:20:59:22
So the Treasury market has me very worried because that is the foundation

00:20:59:22 – 00:21:03:21
of the global financial system and it is not liquid.

00:21:03:24 – 00:21:09:27
And what I mean by that is those entities that hold large blocks of treasuries,

00:21:09:29 – 00:21:15:04
they can no longer go in and sell a block and keep the price stable.

00:21:15:06 – 00:21:20:29
They have to break it into itty bitty pieces so the markets can digest it

00:21:21:01 – 00:21:24:12
and not dramatically move the price.

00:21:24:17 – 00:21:27:23
But we are seeing price strings or price

00:21:27:23 – 00:21:31:01
swings in treasuries that are like this.

00:21:31:03 – 00:21:35:01
Is that the foundation that you want your house built on?

00:21:35:03 – 00:21:39:13
If your foundation is moving like this, what do you do?

00:21:39:15 – 00:21:44:27
Do you stay in that house or do you get out?

00:21:44:29 – 00:21:46:13
So that’s what I’m saying.

00:21:46:13 – 00:21:50:12
Get out, Get to safety.

00:21:50:15 – 00:21:51:29
Last question.

00:21:51:29 – 00:21:54:25
When you talk about the strategy,

00:21:54:25 – 00:21:59:13
you talk about what we need, how the strategy is going to help us survive

00:21:59:13 – 00:22:03:03
and get through this economic chaos and thrive.

00:22:03:06 – 00:22:06:06
How do we know

00:22:06:07 – 00:22:08:26
when the right time is to exit

00:22:08:26 – 00:22:12:17
and how does it help us

00:22:12:24 – 00:22:16:01
with this exit strategy?

00:22:16:04 – 00:22:18:23
Well, you know, a lot of this is about building

00:22:18:23 – 00:22:22:03
a community and having long term relationships.

00:22:22:05 – 00:22:26:12
So the strategy is just based upon historic patterns.

00:22:26:14 – 00:22:28:06
That’s that’s all it’s based on.

00:22:28:06 – 00:22:30:00
It’s not rocket science.

00:22:30:00 – 00:22:35:10
It’s actually I think, pretty simple to understand.

00:22:35:12 – 00:22:38:10
And and again, I go back to,

00:22:38:10 – 00:22:41:21
you know, what I try and teach in my videos

00:22:41:23 – 00:22:46:26
are how to recognize those patterns and as things are shifting.

00:22:46:29 – 00:22:49:26
So I intend to continue to do that.

00:22:49:26 – 00:22:52:27
I mean, right now I have three studios.

00:22:52:27 – 00:22:57:28
I have one in my home studio in Phenix, one in my bug out location,

00:22:57:28 – 00:23:04:07
so that if that’s where I am, I’m going to be able to continue to come on air.

00:23:04:10 – 00:23:07:23
The only reason why I would not come on air, honestly,

00:23:08:01 – 00:23:12:02
is I’m sorry, because a lot of people won’t like to hear this, But if I’m

00:23:12:05 – 00:23:12:29
if I’m unable

00:23:12:29 – 00:23:15:29
to do it other than that, that’s my commitment.

00:23:15:29 – 00:23:19:15
I will show up and I will do the work and I will do that

00:23:19:15 – 00:23:22:28
as long as I am physically able to do that.

00:23:23:01 – 00:23:26:18
And it will fight the central banks and I will fight the garbage

00:23:26:18 – 00:23:29:12
that they’re trying to shove down our throats

00:23:29:12 – 00:23:34:11
because I have a lot of hopes and I’m looking at all of the kids,

00:23:34:17 – 00:23:37:25
you know, not just my grandkids, but everybody’s grandkids,

00:23:37:25 – 00:23:42:05
their great grandkids, everybody in the future.

00:23:42:07 – 00:23:45:25
And what is intended for us.

00:23:45:27 – 00:23:47:13
And I don’t like what I see.

00:23:47:13 – 00:23:49:05
I don’t like it at all.

00:23:49:05 – 00:23:51:15
So this is my battle.

00:23:51:15 – 00:23:52:24
This is my commitment.

00:23:52:24 – 00:23:58:12
I don’t plan on going anywhere until we’re on the other side of this.

00:23:58:14 – 00:24:02:12
And I do a lot to keep myself healthy and fit

00:24:02:12 – 00:24:06:25
and and keep my energy up and keep my mental clarity.

00:24:06:27 – 00:24:08:29
So, I mean,

00:24:09:01 – 00:24:10:12
my intention is

00:24:10:12 – 00:24:14:04
to do this all the way through this mess.

00:24:14:07 – 00:24:18:10
So you will help us through your videos

00:24:18:12 – 00:24:22:25
to see the vision, to see what is coming

00:24:22:27 – 00:24:28:02
and to be able to be in the right place at the right time with the right assets.

00:24:28:09 – 00:24:31:08
Exactly. Yeah. And I’ll let you know.

00:24:31:08 – 00:24:35:18
I mean, don’t I always let you guys know what I’m doing for myself?

00:24:35:20 – 00:24:37:18
I’m not going to stop doing that.

00:24:37:18 – 00:24:38:18
Thank you.

00:24:38:18 – 00:24:40:26
I think you’ve answered most of the questions.

00:24:40:26 – 00:24:43:06
I can’t think of anything else.

00:24:43:06 – 00:24:48:22
Okay, so remember, if you haven’t yet hit that subscribe button

00:24:48:22 – 00:24:53:16
so you know what’s happening and what you need to do about it.

00:24:53:18 – 00:24:57:03
And I’m so proud of the team that we’ve put together

00:24:57:03 – 00:25:00:23

00:25:00:25 – 00:25:02:06
Thank you very much.

00:25:02:06 – 00:25:04:03
I mean, we’re coming to the close of the year.

00:25:04:03 – 00:25:07:23
It’s crazy, but we are coming to the close of a year.

00:25:07:23 – 00:25:08:26
What a year it’s been.

00:25:08:26 – 00:25:13:03
I knew this was going to be a very interesting year, and indeed it has.

00:25:13:05 – 00:25:17:09
I can’t say that I’m very excited to go into 2024.

00:25:17:09 – 00:25:20:29
I think 2024 is going to be more challenging and more interesting

00:25:20:29 – 00:25:23:04
than 2023.

00:25:23:04 – 00:25:27:04
But remember, we are all in this together

00:25:27:06 – 00:25:32:03
and gold and silver is your wealth shield

00:25:32:05 – 00:25:33:29
and intel next to me.

00:25:33:29 – 00:25:36:18
Please be safe out there. Bye bye.
