DEALER'S SHOCKING FORT KNOX PREDICTION! Will DOGE Expose America's Massive Gold Cover-up??​

Feb 7, 2025 #DOGE #GoldReserves #Silver

In this video my bullion dealer shocks me when he says will happen if D.O.G.E. exposes a gold cover-up at Fort Knox? Are we missing gold bars in Fort Knox? Would Donald Trump task Elon Musk to audit America's gold reserve? Do other Federal Reserve locations hold the required gold for our central bank? And what would Trump do if the gold vaults turn out to be EMPTY? Would he come clean with the American public and risk a crisis with our reserve currency status? Watch as both Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop discusses the gold at Fort Knox with a customer exchanging his gold bars for silver bars. He him explain the impact of exposing a gold cover-up!

"He him explain the impact of exposing a gold cover-up!" WTF????????????

Bank of England Stammers Through Gold WithDrawal Delay Explanations​


The BoE Governor has downplayed the story, stating last week that gold is now unimportant and maintaining that London is still a key leader in the global gold market.
This week, the talking point was that they're managing it. It's orderly. The BoE bullion yard was jammed with an armored lorry Thursday morning, and gold bullion is a heavy element (nervous laughter).
The spot silver and gold markets traded up again this week.
The spot price of silver in fiat USD ended at $31.80 oz bid.
The spot gold price closed at $2,860 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio ended this week basically flat at a still historically stubbornly high level of 90.
There is speculation that the USA may be moving policy towards releasing and marking the nation's gold reserves more to market as gold prices climb.
This could better balance deficits and create a more multipolar world in which the fiat US dollar remains the reserve currency.
Allies could buy our debt in longer-term durations to sustain the system for longer.
The article's author, Gillian Tett, backlinked various think tank pieces parsing out ideas for how to do so.

BULLION DEALER WARNS *THIS* WILL “ELIMINATE THE MARKET!!"​

Feb 12, 2025

In this video my bullion dealer discusses the impact of silver eclipsing $40 an ounce and gold spot price reaching $3,000 an ounce. Will Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop ever stop buying silver and gold from his customers? Will he eventually say "no more silver" when the spot price explodes? And what does Tim think will happen when silver hits $40 an ounce? Will it spark a surge in FOMO buying by new silver stackers? Tim's seen this play out before and his answer may surprise you! Watch as customers come in to buy silver and gold despite the vast majority of precious metals investors SELLING their silver and gold!

Post in thread 'Gold stock (revaluation) can be used to rebuild if TSHTF (Dutch Central Bank)'

Gold Revaluation Mar-a-Lago Accord​

Premiered 8 hours ago

You’re never far away from conspiracy in the gold market. But not all conspiracies are false, and in markets one needs to keep an open mind to stay solvent.

The recent influx of gold and silver into Comex warehouses in the US has led to speculation the US is on the verge of revaluing its reputed considerable stock of gold, valued at $42 an ounce, to the market price — currently approaching $3,000.

It’s a theory that can’t be completely discounted with disruptor-in-chief Donald Trump in charge.

But what if something bigger...
 
Local guy said they've seen a decent amount of both buying and selling. I picked up a little junk silver and even though they shorted me 4 quarters it still was under spot silver. So I'm not complaining.
 

DEALER CLAIMS MORE ARE BUYING SILVER! Is it a "Modern-Day Gold Rush"??​

Feb 21, 2025

In this video I ask my bullion dealer if we're seeing a modern-day gold rush. Why is the U.S and many other countries repatriate their gold from oversees? Why does the price of gold continue to go up? Watch as Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop sells gold and silver to a couple of new stackers and listen to him explain details on gold and silver coins to them. Hear him explain why he thinks more people are buying silver than gold, and why he does NOT see a "gold rush" at the retail level in his coin shop. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency. Make sure you build a stack of silver rounds, silver bars, silver coins, and gold coins as essential barter and wealth preservation!

19:15
 
An ounce of silver @ $35 is a lot easier to handle than $2950 for gold. When gold crosses $3k USD expect silver's pace to pick up.

I don't know about.you all, but I am tapping out on gold at these levels and it will likely continue to rise further.
 
Some of this, some of that in this week's SD Bullion vid. 43 mins long. There are charts, graphs and a few pics you can see but your best bet (imo) is to listen in one tab, play around the forum in a different tab.

US Bankrupt Buzzkill Podcast Tour Goes Mainstream​

Premiered 8 hours ago #2281

We're going to start this week's Bullion Market Update tour with Elon Musk, who visited The Joe Rogan Podcast today, one of the world's most popular and widely consumed young male demographic podcasts in the Western world.

Joe Rogan Experience #2281 - Elon Musk • Joe Rogan Experience #2281 - Elon Musk

We'll begin with some AI grade school locker room humor and then discuss the challenges the developed world faces today.

Moving on to another of this week's major media gold-related podcast tours, Luke Growmen appeared on The Tucker Carlson Show. He eloquently explained the macro case for prudent bullion investment holdings for investors.
If you missed it this week, I'll leave a link to the one-and-a-half-hour show in the notes below.
Luke Gromen: Why the CIA Doesn’t Want You Owning Gold, & Is Fort Knox Lying About Our Gold Reserve? • Luke Gromen: Why the CIA Doesn’t Want...
Here is a clip that uses current data and factual documents to support a few of Luke's statements from that podcast early this week.

The spot silver and gold prices finally both sold off this week.
The spot silver price closed at $31.12 oz bid, while the spot gold price finished at $2,857 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio climbed to nearly 92 at the end this week.

DEALER ASKED--WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA'S GOLD?! Is it a "Secret Transaction"??​

Mar 3, 2025 #FortKnox #Soros #Silver

In this video as ask my bullion dealer who's behind the unprecedented and record purchases of gold. Is it the Federal Reserve? Is it the US government? Or as one new stacker at Tim Marschner's coin shop wonders, is it George Soros? And are we about to audit the gold bars in Fort Knox? Watch as Tim and I discuss gold and silver customers looking to both buy and sell precious metals at the Coin and Stamp Shop. Hear him talk about the World Gold Council and where there is a secret transaction going on under our noses. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today.

DEALER WARNS OF A "TRUMP RECESSION!" WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR SILVER & GOLD??​

Mar 12, 2025 #Silver #Tariffs #Recession

In this video my bullion dealer and I discuss a possible "Trump Recession" and what impact that could have on the price of silver and gold. Is Donald Trump's administration literally TRYING to spark a recession by having DOGE cut government employees and starting a trade war? Is Trump hoping that will cause the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to spur GDP? Will Silver drop in price if a recession hits? Could THAT spark a surge in new buying by silver stackers? And are the majority of precious metals investors now BUYING silver and gold? Watch as we both try to answer these questions while customers come in to buy silver and gold. Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency.

Dealer Warns America as "PAPER GOLD" SPIKES UP!​

Mar 19, 2025

In this video my bullion dealer discusses the impact of spot gold breaking through $,3000 an ounce and silver spot price almost reaching $34 an ounce. Will Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop ever stop buying silver and gold from his customers? Will his business get destroyed by hedge funds manipulating the "paper gold" markets? And what does Tim think will happen with stackers buying and selling silver and gold as they continue to hit all-time record highs? Will it spark a surge in FOMO buying by new gold and silver stackers? Tim's seen this play out before and his answer may surprise you! Watch as customers come in to buy silver and gold despite many precious metals investors still selling their silver and gold! Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today. Protect yourself from out-of-control governments, evil central banks, and the failing US dollar's grip as the world's reserve currency.

$13 billion Naked Gold Short Growing​

The silver and gold markets had a mixed performance this week.
The spot silver price did pop briefly over $34 oz intra-week only to give back nearly $1 oz to close just over $33 oz bid.
The spot gold price got another highest weekly close, with spot finishing at $3,023 oz bid.
The spot gold-silver ratio climbed on silver's relative weakness to a still stubbornly high level of 91.
Probably the craziest story on the Eastern side of the world this week was the admission that the Indian government is naked short $13 billion notional in a silly gold government back investment option that has blown back in myriad ways.

Gold Price Paradox: A $13 billion naked short on yellow metal in India that loves glitter: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/...

In 2015, India’s finance ministry introduced a sovereign gold bond program to reduce gold imports and offer returns linked to gold prices. However, the program turned costly as gold prices surged, resulting in significant government liabilities. Taxpayers now face the burden of these rising costs, with the plan not curbing gold imports effectively.
In terms of India, an outstanding $13 billion naked gold short loss is like one month's trade deficit sum at the moment, they'll debase the fiat rupee further, same old story.
It is pretty ironic cause the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 2013 admitted that the global gold market at the time was paper levered 92 oz paper to 1 oz physical.
Here they are, a dozen years later, eating their paper promise losses galore as local Indians continue to buy actual physical gold and silver in size that only this century China in gold and the USA in silver can match in tonnage terms.

DEALER PREPARED FOR THE "BIG SHORT" IN GOLD! What will TARIFFS DO to Precious Metals?​

Mar 23, 2025 #Silver #Gold #Tariffs

In this video excerpt with my bullion dealer, Tim Marschner, we discuss how the spot price of gold was "rescued" in the future's market last week. We also discuss the effects of US tariffs on Canada and how precious metals may respond. Are reciprocal tariffs a good strategy? Are they just a shrewd tactic by the Trump administration? Will gold be revalued and priced appropriately to inflation? And is silver's manipulation ever going to end? Tim Marschner of The Coin and Stamp Shop joins me in studio and shares his perspective on gold and silver. Do YOU agree with Tim that tariffs are simply a "negotiating point" and good for America? Are you concerned about what it will mean to our economy? Never before has stacking precious metals been as important to do as it is today.

Ratio is 102+. I think the time to buy is now. I'm building weight, 5 oz and 10 oz bars. I dont think its going to go much lower but I'm an optimist. A fear monger as well, as are plenty of others in this Bull market.

Silver Gold Tariff Meltdown | Spot GSR +102 ​

The silver and gold markets were down big on the week's trading.
The spot silver price fell over –$4 oz in the week, finishing at $29.57 oz bid with bears' eyes looking to cut further lower next week.
The spot gold price fell sharply to close the week at $3,036 per ounce bid.
The spot Gold Silver Ratio went into rarified air, blasting through 100 for only the fourth time in human financial history, finishing the week at 102. Yet, premiums on bullion inventories have barely risen, at least for now.
In a bullion bull, you load up on big price dips. Now is that time.

I'll tell a story of my experience as a young airman in Turkey back in the '70s. The Turkish Lira wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. For 18 mos I never spent one Lira, in fact I only bought a little so's I'd have some to remember my time in Martial Law Turkey.

Everything we bought, anywhere in the country, we paid USD $ for because the Turks had no use for Lira either. One day it would be 50 to $1 and the next it would be 500 to $1. The Turk houseboy we had in the dorm was considered rich because of all the $ we paid him to press our uniforms and shine our shoes, as well as the black market stuff we exchanged with him like smokes or underwear or especially blue jeans.

Anyway the Turks would explain to me what they did with the USD they got their hands on and that was to buy gold. Their economy didn't revolve around Lira's, it revolved around USD and only so's they could buy gold with it. A familys wealth was measured in the gold they had. For a man to give a woman or girl gold meant the most serious of intentions and expression of wealth. This cultural connection to gold spanned many centuries and I'm sure still exists today. I'd bet its that way for the vast majority of the world too. The value of printed money only exists in a few countries and/or regions and even in those places gold is a very valued place to store your wealth.
 
Now imagine the Dollar is the new Lira.... and the whole world is using it.... AND there is no reserve dollar now. What happens now?

Best guess would be it would choke commerce, create bottle necks, and prices would fluctuate wildly. The dollar would simply be replaced by one of the big 8, like for instance the euro or pound Stirling. But theres little chance that happening. But between them the euro and the USD hold about 80% of foreign exchange reserves with the USD at 60% so I'd say theres little chance of anything changing.

The Lira just went from 30 to $1 to 38 to $1 so its not much more valuable since I was there. Turkey has stayed in perpetual economic Limbo and its economy is still USD/Gold based I'd bet.
 
Voodoo said:
ALL currencies are in the same boat. Going, going... gone. There is no chance in hell that if the dollar dies the Euro is going to step in, sorry.

Thats why I dont like holding a lot of it. I just keep an emergency fund but I try to put everything else into investments. And gold and silver are sound investments. Gold is gold and always will be gold and silver just has to many uses to crash while were in our what ? 5'th year of using more then were mining ? Best of all you hold something in your hand that has weight to the value.

I wish I could buy $30 K of gold right now but I can't pull that kind of money out without paying a penalty.

Markets in CHAOS -- Dealer Warns America What Could Be NEXT For Silver & Gold! #Tariffs​

 
I listen to as many experts in the field as I can, and do respect them, but the variations in opinions is often mind boggling. Hearing one expert talk and then another giving a totally different forecast is very confusing. Especially when its obvious both know what they are talking about. But the truth is nobody knows what the future will bring to the market.

My personal opinion is PM's will hold up very well because that is their history and their popularity is just increasing. People just like holding them in their hands. Its always been that way with gold and silver's uses are just increasing. A better economy = people buying more stuff with silver in it, Industrial, Jewelry, coinage...ect. I feel OK about silver.
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You're right. I can remember first starting out, I'd read an article I found interesting and I'd search to find information that corroborated what I had just read.

What I often found was 5 more articles that substantiated what I had just read and 6 articles that opposed it.

It took a little while before I realized that I had to study and find out for myself what I thought was the truth of the matter and go with what my head was telling me not what someone else's head was telling me.

I remember on the first iteration of GIM I'd post contrarian points of view just to spark debate and/or show that group think and following the crowd is sometimes not the appropriate move. Yeah, the trend is your friend. Sure is, right up until the point where it isn't.

I'd sometimes post articles written by John Nadler who was an analyst over at Kitco. (Anyone here remember that name?) Some folks on the forum would lose their shit. How dare I post something that said something other than what they wanted to hear?

Each of us needs to find that spot within ourselves where we're comfortable making the decision(s) that is/are best for us.

All I can say is read, read, read. Don't be afraid to read views that don't align with your own. You might possibly learn something you weren't expecting to.
 
SD Bullion Weekly
