1/6 Here are my annual #PreciousMetals valuations I use to make decisions & my price projections for 2026, which may be helpful to you. Theyโre based on the principle that #money is #gold (natural money in contrast to man-made constructs of #banks and govโts based on #debt) while #silver is an industrial metal that can also be a gold-substitute b/c like gold, silver can be owned to preserve #PurchasingPower outside the banking system. Based on my estimates for 31 Dec 25 #gold & #FX reserves using IMF data, current Fair Value for #gold=$11,341/oz, using my Gold Money Index explained in:
amazon.com/Money-Bubble-Jโฆ
Money can be over-or-undervalued just like the value of investments in your portfolio. Data points on chart show gold overvalued in 1960s, 1974 & 1980, but undervalued since 1984. Though now at the smallest undervaluation since 1990, follow the same strategy Iโve recommended since founding goldmoney.com in 2001 - continue to accumulate physical gold by dollar-cost averaging until it again is overvalued, unless you need to spend this Purchasing Power you have saved. Otherwise hold it to spend or invest when gold again becomes overvalued. Valuations are moving targets based on how much central banks inflate national currencies. The Fair Value for gold on 31 Dec 2024 was $10,902. FV was exceeded in the 1974 and 1980 blow-off tops by 128% in 1974 and 162% in 1980. If the next top exceeds gold's FV by 145% (the average of the two previous tops) then $16,445. But that assumes FX reserves are unchanged, & they are likely to grow which would mean even higher prices at the next blow-off top. The #PreciousMetals are not in a #bubble b/c they are not overvalued. The bubble is the #dollar b/c it is masquerading as money but is only a questionable promise circulating as #currency b/c of rhetoric, propaganda & govโt force (laws).

2/6 I use the Fair Value of #gold & the gold/silver ratio (currently 61:1) to calculate the FV of #silver, which has demand as an industrial metal & a gold-substitute. There is about 10X more silver than gold in the earth's crust & roughly 10X more silver than gold mined annually by weight, but their historic ratio is about 16oz silver to 1oz gold, not 10:1 as supply alone would suggest. The 16:1 ratio reflects the demand premium given to gold as a purely #monetary metal. Let's assume the ratio fluctuates in a range between 30 (the ratio at silver's 2011 price peak) & 20 to approach the historic ratio.
$11,341 / 30 =$378 per oz silver
$11,341 / 20 =$567 per oz silver
The Fair Value of silver therefore ranges between $378 & $567 based on goldโs FV. Time will tell whether these long-term targets will be achieved or even exceeded like they did in 1980 when the FV of gold was $325 (and way overvalued at its $850 peak). Silver back then nearly hit $50, which is a 17:1 ratio. At this ratio, silverโs FV in 1980 was $19 ($325/17), illustrating the extent of the then prevailing spec bubble led by the Hunt Bros. In contrast, rising silver prices now are being driven by demand for physical metal needed in solar, EVs, electronics, etc, not spec buying. A 16:1 ratio could again be achieved if silverโs #industrial demand continues & #monetary demand for silver grows, which it might do in a fiat #currency &/or #bank crisis.

3/6 Because of #currency destruction by govt's & their #CentralBanks & the digital revolution made obvious by #Bitcoin, we are going through a fundamental realignment in the way we convey #PurchasingPower to buy, sell, save, or invest our wealth. This process includes repeating 1932/33 when people learned about fractional reserve banking & the difference between Purchasing Power based on promises vs PP conveyed by physical #gold & #silver #coin. The collapse of the fractional reserve banking house-of-cards caused the #GreatDepression. So the immediate question is whether the promises supporting todayโs house-of-cards collapses this coming year, like it did in 1932/33. My #FearIndex is saying it might. Itโs rising like it did in previous monetary disruptions & is at the level reached in the aftermath of the 2008 #GreatFinancialCrisis. We canโt predict how events are going to unfold, but maybe the obvious but ignored โbubbleโ is popping as it always eventually does with fiat #currency. Gold, silver, & stock market charts of Weimar Germany, Argentina, Venezuela, or dozens of other countries in the early days leading up to their eventual #CurrencyCollapse are similar to these gold, silver, & stock market charts today of #Japan, #UK, #EU & #US. To paraphrase Hemingway, fiat currency collapses gradually over years & then suddenly.

0/ It is 2026. Happy new year, everyone. I remain optimistic about the future and I look forward to it.
But with that said, I will make some heretical predictions now, hopefully to challenge your prior beliefs.

1/ First, I believe 2026 in the US will be the year public trust in government collapses. The scale of fraud in MN and CA is getting the attention of normies; I do not think the Democratic party can survive this in the current form without, well, major reform.
2/ To that end, a lot of the old scripts with voters (accusations of bias, false claims about hating the cause not the fraud) are going to stop working. Strange things will happen in the body politic. Stranger alliances will be formed.
But things are shifting... and breaking.

By the grace of my Gurus, I have received great friends in domians 1-4. Now in domian 1, they in the US, domain 2 they are old, domain three again distance domain 4 distance. But more or less good friends. So this year's resolution is:
Focus on talking and learning from them. I currently dont have a large group of friends to hand out with regularly say weekly(pretty weird, been extroverted whole life). But rather than begging for hangouts, focus on things in hand and domains 1-4, and people in them.

1) To date, I have not encountered a convincing rebuttal to the theory that Charlie Kirkโs assassination was a hoax. The following thread relies only on the work of Miles Mathis, focusing on specific incongruities surrounding the event and its aftermath.
mileswmathis.com/kirk.pdf
mileswmathis.com/kirk.pdf
2) Kirk was removed from the scene in a black SUV despite ambulances being standard at large university events, which lacks logical explanation.
3) The video of the shooting was released publicly the same day, which was previously forbidden; logically, the family should have been notified before public release to avoid trauma.
