Jefferey Christian & Keith Weiner: The Biggest Lies About Gold You Still Believe...(Oct. 20, 2025)
Monetary Money...
Summary
Common myths and misconceptions about gold and silver, such as the factors that determine their value, are debunked by experts through market data and historical examples, revealing a more complex market influenced by investment demand and multiple supply sources.
Market Dynamics
The silver market is experiencing significant changes due to net buying of 70 million ounces last year and 130 million ounces this year, substantially impacting the supply-demand balance.
At $50, the economics of silver dramatically shift, affecting mine production, secondary supply, fabrication demand, and investment demand.
Investors holding 4 billion ounces of silver will likely sell if prices skyrocket, while scrap recovery and mine production will increase, preventing extreme price surges.
Market Indicators
The silver market is showing 50 cents of backwardation in the December contract, indicating a current shortage of metal.
Hedging is unattractive for refiners and fabricators as the cost exceeds their gross margin at current record levels.
Historical Perspectives
Private equity companies have been privatizing mines since 2000, making economic trends more opaque and harder to analyze.
Post-World War II gold trains collected by Allies from Nazi-occupied Europe remain a mystery, with credible reports of some gold disappearing.
Gold and Silver Usage
Gold-plated palladium and silver-plated copper are being used to reduce precious metal content in products, making the price of gold minuscule compared to product value.
Silver use in solar panels is estimated at 250-350 million ounces annually, with some recovered through recycling, compared to 250 million ounces used annually in pre-digital photography.
Market Myths and Realities
The idea of a gold price reset by the US is considered a “total joke” due to the impossibility of maintaining a peg with finite gold and infinite dollars.
Cornering the gold or silver market is deemed impossible due to the large, diverse market and dispersed ownership.
The narrative of central bank gold purchases is overrated, with accurate reporting showing 14.6, 8.8, and 10 million ounces bought in the last three years respectively.
Rick Rule: No SILVER shortage, GOLD will triple!...(Oct 22, 2025)
Gold Republic Global...
Summary
Rick Rule predicts that the value of gold will triple as the US dollar’s purchasing power declines, driven by a looming US solvency crisis, massive debt, and a potential shift away from the dollar as a reserve currency.
Economic Outlook and Currency Trends
The absolute purchasing power of the US dollar is expected to decline by 75% over the next 10 years, mirroring the decline in the nominal price of gold, due to the weaponization of the dollar and unattractive US Treasuries.
Foreign central banks are diversifying out of US dollars and into gold as a forced move to protect their wealth from the declining purchasing power of the US dollar.
The US government’s debt and deficit are in a more perilous condition than in 1982, with on-balance sheet liabilities at 120% of GDP and off-balance sheet liabilities increasing at $2 trillion/year.
Precious Metals Market Dynamics
The silver market is expected to escalate twice as fast as the gold market, signaling a handoff from gold to silver leadership and attracting generalist investors.
The gold-to-silver ratio is expected to fall as silver outpaces gold, currently around 85 compared to the historic long-term median of 60.
The lease rate for silver spiked from 4.5 to 40, indicating a severe shortage of physical silver, particularly in retail denominations.
Investment Strategies and Market Trends
The copper price is expected to fall due to weaker demand from the industrial sector, despite a 7% decline in supply.
Rick Rule is rotating capital back into oil, currently the most hated asset but historically the best business in natural resources over the past 50 years.
The nominal price of gold could increase three- to four-fold over the next 10 years if the US dollar’s purchasing power declines by 75%, as it did in the 1970s.
Market Insights and Analysis
The silver market has a multi-year deficit of 1.2 billion ounces in demand versus 800 million mined and 150 million recycled, with most output being a byproduct.
Rate cuts by the Fed will put precious metals on steroids due to artificially lower interest rates and massive quantitative easing.
Peter St. Onge: Biggest Surplus in History...(Oct 20, 2025)
Peter St. Onge...
Summary
The US Treasury recorded a historic $198 billion surplus in September, but despite this, the country still faces a significant $1.8 trillion 12-month deficit, highlighting that the economic situation is complex and uncertain.
Economic Milestones
The $198 billion September surplus in 2025 marked the largest September surplus in history, bolstered by $30 billion in tariff revenue.
The $1.8 trillion 12-month deficit is 20 times larger than the entire federal budget from 20 years ago.
Fiscal Policy Impact
Trump’s spending restraint limited discretionary spending growth to 1% in 2025, contrasting with 10% growth in Biden’s last budget.
The $180 billion drop in September 2025 spending was 35% due to calendar effects and 124% due to student loan debt revaluation.
Political Implications
The government shutdown could potentially allow Republicans to cut $2 trillion in non-essential federal spending implemented by Democrats.
