Written by Bryan Lutz, Editor at Dollarcollapse.com:
So, every Sunday morning I sit down to write a few thoughts.
Sometimes these thoughts end up being about life, other times they are on gold, geopolitical issues affecting the markets, or the economy.
Here are three thoughts for this morning:
1. Just a reminder, even though the DXY is up, the real catalyst for gold and silver prices (M2 supply) is hitting all-time-highs… every day!
In September 2025, M2 supply pushed past COVID era numbers into new all-time-highs. Contrary to what the Federal Reserve would have you believe money supply, inflation, and currency devaluation are directly related.
So even though the DXY has moved back up above the 14-year support line… Be patient.
Be patient because hard assets aren’t a fad.
The dollar’s descent is not a fad.
And the inevitable money supply increase is only going to look more and more parabolic as the US dollar declines.
2. Can someone please investigate Ilhan Omar?
Michael Arouet recently shared this chart video on X…
It shows Pelosi leaving Warren Buffett and the S&P 500 in the dust.
Seriously, how is someone investing as a side hustle able to continuously beat both the S&P 500 and Warren Buffett?

Have we learned nothing from Pelosi?
Based on recent financial disclosures, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s, D-Minn, reported a household net worth between $6 million and $30 million at the end of 2024.
Yet, Omar reported a negative net worth when initially elected in 2018, and in her 2023 disclosure, she reported assets valued between roughly $40,000 and $250,000. Seems like a big difference to me. So where do they come from? She’s saying it’s her husband’s businesses, which is a wine company and a venture capital firm.
Monywise reports:
‘Learn to read’: Ilhan Omar denies ‘ridiculous’ claims that net worth spiked from $0 to $30M. What do the numbers say?
3. Gold and silver aren’t dumping. Here’s what’s really happening.
I said this about a month and a half ago when gold prices dropped. Despite that, it’s good to revisit this. So you and I can remember the big picture.
On Friday, gold and silver prices crashed.
Gold knocked more than 15% off its price point from $5600 down to $4883.
Silver over 30%… It went from around $118 down to $83.
The volatility you’re experiencing is a feature of the currency collapse. Not a bug.
Nothing is wrong…
Except for fiat currencies. This is what happens when a currency like the USD collapses. Gold and silver are getting repriced.
Take a look at what happened to the price of gold during the weimar hyperinflation.
Gold prices went wild.
That’s because they kept inflating the currency more and more. Priced in weimar marks, percent change was up and down.
Today’s difference is that gold prices aren’t just fluctuating in US Dollars, gold prices are going up and down in almost every fiat currency around the world. It shows that this time, the fiat system itself is failing across the globe. Currency collapse is here and this is just what happens to gold this time around… and every fiat currency before.
In my opinion, if you’re worried about losses, hold on, you’ll be able to take profits again soon, but eventually gold may go a lot higher.
