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. Trump deserves some praise for bringing peace to Gaza. So far, the ceasefire is holding, and Hamas are set to release Israeli hostages Monday, or Tuesday, according to Trump.
After 2 years of conflict, Israel and Palestine are headed toward peace.
According to the Palestinian authority, over the past two years Hamas-led terrorists killed 1200 Israeli’s during their attacks, leaving 67,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza.
Trump, the dealmaker brokered a deal.
You can read the full peace plan, here.
Big Daddy Trump said that if Hamas didn’t agree to release hostages he would fully back Netanyahu to eliminate them, whatever the cost.
Here are the results…
Thousands of Palestinians are returning home to the rubble with the promise by Trump to make it a habitable and peaceful place to live.
I don’t agree with everything Trump says or does and at times, when his narcissistic side is on full display, I think, “Maybe someone else can do what needs to be done?”
But Trump did. Congrats to Trump.
2. Take a look at silver. It just passed Bitcoin in market capitalization. Let’s compare silver and Bitcoin using their two biggest ETFs (owned by Blackrock).
Silver passed Bitcoin in market capitalization this week.
Hardline precious metal investors are all over it.
Just take a look.

Blackrock holds the biggest ETFs in Silver and Bitcoin.
The market cap for SLV, Blackrock’s Silver ETF is sitting just under $24B, while Blackrock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, just pushed over $100B in market cap this week with the purchase of 2011 Bitcoin.
*** If you’re unfamiliar, VOO is Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF.
This isn’t to say that Bitcoin and Silver are two assets competing against one another for a #2 position under gold. It’s more important to see where investors are placing their cash, and why…
For most of the market, silver is easier to access. Silver miners are also easier to access directly via the fiat stock market. Silver is also less scarce. For every ounce of gold pulled out of the ground 20 ounces are silver smile at the sun too. And if you want to buy physical silver, it’s still fairly accessible at roughly $50 an ounce.
Bitcoin on the other hand, is still foreign to most of the market. Accessing Bitcoin through an ETF is a simple way to gain access while still holding onto your fiat money…
3. Finding the best precious metal dealer is hard. There are a lot of fees, hidden costs, and costly pricing out there. Take Kitco, for example, now they’re running ads to buy YOUR gold… That’s why we’re partnering with Miles Franklin Precious Metals.
If you’ve been around long enough, you know that finding transparent pricing on precious metals without getting price gouged on storage fees is a rare case.
You can find the rare case at Miles Franklin precious metals.
So, we’ve set up an agreement for preferred pricing. That means when you call them or email them with “Dollarcollapse” in the subject line you’re going to get preferred pricing.
Each week, they release deals on precious metal coins and bars – gold and silver.
I’ll be sending them to you Wednesday each week. That way you can keep stacking while there are still gold and silver available.
