Golden Tools For Golden Money

  1. Gold’s mauling of global fiat monies in 2024-2025 was spectacular and after this type of event, a multi-year period of consolidation can be expected to be the next order of business.

     In the coming years and decades, fiat’s already-horrific performance against gold will get much worse… but there will continue to be modest periods of consolidation like the current one.

  3. Gold price consolidations are healthy, but they can make some amateur gold investors feel nervous or even depressed.

  4. The good news is that while a lot more sideways price action likely lies ahead, the next big move is likely to be up towards the top of the range.
  5. The rally could potentially see gold make a new high before there’s one final dip back towards the lower end of the range at $4000-$3500.

  6. For a look at the weekly chart and all the price zones for gold:

    Regardless of whether gold begins to immediately mangle fiat again, or the mangling begins later, a price of $4400 and under offers significant value to supreme money enthusiasts.

  7. What about silver?

      The entire $70-$60 zone is a fantastic new floor of value for silver money accumulators. 

  8. It’s easy to get caught up in the amateur investor’s mindset of demanding to know exactly what is next for the price of their investments.  They tend to lose sight of what gold and silver are (money)… and begin to treat them like stocks in the stock market.

  9. Congestion zones are opportunities for investors to ground themselves emotionally and focus on the qualities that define gold as the greatest currency and silver as its spectacular brother.

  10. Professional gold and silver bugs are focused less on what’s next for the price, and instead on getting more metal. 
  11. This can be done by buying gold and silver directly in a value or support zone… or with the use of some exciting tools.
  12. To view a great one,

     The COPX ETF is showcasing a significant inverse H&S bull continuation pattern.  Gold and silver bugs can buy the COPX, sell it for a substantial fiat money profit, and then parlay the profits into their favorite monetary metal (silver or gold).

  13. What about the new photonics technology that allows electricity to be moved with light instead of metal copper?  Well, eventually it could replace copper (and likely will), but that’s going to take some time.
  14. Also, and much more importantly, photonics won’t end global government recklessness and nor will “big growth”.  Nothing will end it.  Irresponsible use of debt and outrageous spending is in the “genes” of government. 
  15. In a nutshell, what lies ahead is reckless government to infinity… and that means there will be higher fiat prices of real money gold and silver for centuries to come.

  16. A “great reset” (linking gold/silver to fiat) is only a temporary fix.  Unless gold and silver (electronically) replace fiat, there will be periods of deflation, but in the long-term, the price of almost every item on Earth will continue to rise.

  17. A daily focus on the big picture is critical for investors as inflation, a wildly overvalued stock market, debt ceiling horror, and empire transition dominate the investing landscape.    Thanks!
  18. This BDRY “shipflation” ETF is another great tool for supreme money accumulators to have in their toolbox.

  19. The crazed actions of the Iranian, Israeli, and US governments in relation to citizen freedom and Hormuz have virtually guaranteed years of stagflation, and their hideous guarantee is just one part of the 40 year inflation cycle that began in 2020.
  20. Unfortunately, the US government refuses to get rid of their vile K1 tax form policy, and the BDRY ETF comes with a K1 so it’s not a suitable tool for all investors. 
  21. For the good news in that regard:

     Double-click to enlarge this GDX gold stocks ETF chart.  Mining stock ETFs like GDX, GDXJ, SIL (and the COPX) have no K1 reporting requirement.

  22. They and their component stocks are arguably the ultimate tools to use to get more gold and silver.  If gold and silver are poised to surge to the upper part of their congestion zones, senior gold and silver miners could rally 20%-50% at the same time.

  23. CDNX venture index daily candlestick chart with RSI, volume, stochastics, MACD, and annotated trendlines and price targets

    Double-click to enlarge this enticing CDNX junior resource stocks index chart.  If the seniors can surge 20%-50%, it’s realistic to project a 50%-100% move for key junior miners. 

  24. To sum it all up for today: the world’s biggest comedy show (global government recklessness to infinity) is in play, and it’s here to stay. 

    Gold and silver miners seem ready to again showcase their greatness, with a fresh move to the high end of their range!
