Wild Times in Precious Metals
Suddenly, gold is interesting
Since the start of this century, gold has outperformed stocks — despite stocks being in an epic bull market:
You’d think that gold would have gotten more attention after such an impressive run. But until recently, this has remained a largely neglected asset class.
But Now…Damn
In just the past few weeks, the news surrounding gold has gotten both strange and frantic. Here are a few of the events/trends that are making gold interesting for the generalist investor masses.
Gold’s market cap hits $20 trillion
This year alone, it’s up by $5 trillion, or five times the entire market cap of bitcoin.
Gold pours out of London, into New York
From Mining.com: The amount of gold stored in London vaults fell by 4.9 million troy ounces in January, the largest monthly decline since records began in 2016, as traders rushed to ship the precious metal to the US to avoid tariff risks and capture premium prices.
From CNN: All existing slots at the Bank of England to withdraw gold bars are booked up as market players race to ship the metal to the United States to take advantage of a surge in gold prices there, an official has said. Gold has become more valuable in the US than in other parts of the world as traders worry supply will plunge if Trump’s across-the-board tariffs, both announced and planned, make imports of the metal costlier.
Mints start adding surcharges
On February 20, major mint Argor-Heraeus imposed a "temporary extra fee" on minted gold and silver. The surcharge is USD 3.50/oz for minted gold and a massive USD 3/oz or 9.23% for minted silver. According to BullionStar, “This is on the wholesale level and is on top of normal premiums and minting charges. The LBMA spot price can no longer be said to represent the price of physical metal.”

The US discusses “gold revaluation”
The US claims to have a lot of gold, which it values at $42/oz. Now, Trump administration officials are floating the idea of marking this gold to market, in theory strengthening the government’s balance sheet and enabling it to borrow more money.
Doge to audit Ft. Knox
From Forbes Magazine: “Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and head of the powerful Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and President Donald Trump elevated decades-old conspiracies about the state of the U.S. government’s gold reserve at Fort Knox this week, as Trump vowed to take a rare look inside the tightly guarded facility.”
US considers backing Treasury bonds with gold
From USA Gold: One of the key proposals discussed is the issuance of 50-year treasuries backed by gold, an idea championed by economist Judy Shelton, a prominent Trump supporter. Shelton has suggested the possibility of issuing these treasuries on July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the United States. "This could be a way to incentivize demand for our treasury market, which has been waning," he noted.
Conclusion
Some of the above is important and some isn’t. Right now it’s hard to say which is which. But what definitely matters is the amount of gold-related news that’s being generated. Lots of people suddenly care about this metal for lots of different reasons. The more they care, the more they learn. And the more they learn, the more sound money they’ll want to own.
It is interesting that gold has suddenly gotten so much attention. I think it speaks to the atavistic appeal of gold, its intuitive and congenital sense of value.
That conjecture may be put to the test soon if the US Treasury gold holdings are audited and publicized. The reaction will be fascinating to see.
Imagine, for example, if the US owns no gold. Would anyone care? Considering that historically most people don’t understand gold’s alleged “value”, and the comfort most seem to feel about the dollar being a physically worthless fiat currency, it would suggest that few would care. But I actually think those very same people actually would - and very much so - even though they may not be able to articulate why. That would be an example of proof that gold has intrinsic value. It wouldn’t explain why, but it would prove that it does.
(Interestingly, based upon Trump’s own rhetorical speculation that the US has none, he would consider it more of an exposure of fraud than a real monetary or geo-political threat. I believe he believes that strongly in the US and, by extension, the dollar. Of course he would prefer that the US does own gold, lest all the more need for a sovereign wealth fund.)
One could argue that the same reaction would occur for any amount of gold that is less than expected. Supposedly the US has about 8100 tons, but if it turns out it actually has less I think it would matter to most people. But what’s interesting to me is it would matter to those who claimed to not care about gold a priori.
Now imagine a different possibility; that the US has significantly more gold than expected. In that case I think it would also matter, but for a different reason. It would raise many questions, a main one being the need for the US to have secreted that fact?
I raise these points because I believe the answers determine how gold will be treated and valued going forward. That will be interesting too.
Apart from sin-empowered demons, what is their main source of power? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of free endless money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.). Also, insider information, sabotage, infiltration, manufactured news and events to create profitable market-movements.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) create trillions out of thin air and launder them through their Banks, foundations, and foreign loans and “aid”, with which they buy puppeticians and seats in the boards of the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), judiciary, corporations, media, healthcare, universities, foundations, political parties, etc.
The masons’ worst nightmare is that the daydreaming majority wakes up, finds out their crimes, and seek justice. We are a million to one. Until they achieve the CBDC digi-tatorship, they are walking on a tight rope.
We've got a very small window of opportunity to fight or ... die (they want to murder 95% of us).
