3 Sunday Morning Thoughts – January 25 Edition

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. Congratulations to those stacking gold and silver stackers! Silver’s busted through $100 bucks. You deserve it. What does this mean for the US dollar, and you?

Silver broke through $100 US dollars per Oz Friday morning. If you’ve been stacking, you were right. Enjoy it.

BREAKING: Silver prices officially rise above $100/oz for the first time in history, now up +40% in 2026.

You were right about the fiat system.

You were right about silver being held down, boxed in, and fenced off from its real value.

And you were right about the value of the US dollar. Silver has broken through.

For years, the price of silver has been relatively suppressed because of its place in the investment world. Silver prices depended mostly on the gold/silver ratio, and a general rule of thumb by investment bankers. That rule of thumb was this: allocate 1% of gold holdings max. Now things have changed. Silver prices depend more on access and control rather than the standard exposure bankers used to place on portfolios.

So, what used to keep silver down is no longer there. It’s broken.

And that means, silver is just getting started. I’m not going to pretend to guess how high silver will go before repricing, but…

In the future, it’s not crazy to think that the US dollar could to 1/1000th oz.

Of course, as the US dollar continues to devalue, and volatility increases, you have to know your place in the world, and where you stand.

2. Globalists at the WEF got what they deserved this week.

For the past several years, Russia has been spanking globalists with its refusal to forget Russians on the other side of the Ukraine border. Europe has been dumping taxpayer funds into the war in Ukraine. And, they’ve been dumping funds into organizations the World Health Organization, and they’ve been dumping funds into NATO.

Now, it’s the United States turn.

Last year, when Trump entered office he signed an executive order to exit the World Health Organization. This week, at the WEF in Davos, the United States made it official. The United States was paying upwards of $260 million a year, which is about 18-20% of  the WHO’s funding. According to Reuters, that means the organization will be forced to cut about 25% of its staff.

Trump is setting the standard. He’s cutting off globalist reach by cutting off their “backdoor” bureaucracy. Now he’s has to imbed that idea so it sticks at home.

“The WHO has become nothing more than a corrupt Globalist SCAM. We will DEFUND the WHO…they deserve to be abolished and replaced…” -President Trump

3. Remember the motivators that had you stacking in the first place.

I watched an interview with Tony Robbins this week. He explained that there are two kinds of motivation: push and pull. Push is mostly willpower. It takes strength, constant attention, and lots of energy. You have to constantly think about whatever you’re forcing yourself to do…

Then there’s the other side of the coin. The other motivator. Robbins calls it “pull.”

Those are the things that are focused on other people. They are internal motivators like purpose because whatever your purpose is it is always focused on other people. Your purpose expands your horizon. For Robbins, he sees his purpose as “helping others to grow.” The other “pull” motivators are our closest relationships.

If you have been married for more than 10 to 15 years then you know what I’m talking about. Eventually, if you haven’t been thankful you learn to reflect and appreciate all the good things that your wife and kids(if you have them) have brought to your life. Choosing to enjoy your wife and family is the biggest game changer in life. It gives purpose to all our work no matter what your wife might look like now, or your health, or even your age.

Remember the motivators that had you stacking in the first place.
