Those who have stolen billions of dollars from American taxpayers attach little value to what is has been so easily obtained. Further, their thefts have weakened the American government, which tips the odds that the American government will collapse, and their trade of dollars for gold will be a winning one.
However, if the massive thefts can be halted, then the number of market participants who have billions in cash to which they attach little value will shrink drastically.
Recall that price is determined at the margin. It only requires a few market participants (technically only one), who are willing to pay any price, to drive up the market price. Recall the Hunt brothers’ silver boom of 1980.
Hypothesis: IF the massive thefts of taxpayer monies can be stopped soon, then the price of gold will decline precipitously within two years. However, reality is that the dollar has been weakened, the national debt is approaching $40 trillion, and the dollar price of gold will probably not return to its level of 2022.
There are no supporting news stories nor can I find this in any filings Samsung has made.
Fake news video?
Well the video is AI so who knows. Asian guy has always been super bullish on silver up to this point. I guess one way to check this out would be to take a look at Samsung’s latest 8k filing. That should provide the evidence.
Really, then what does this mean:
IF the massive thefts of taxpayer monies can be stopped soon, then the price of gold will decline precipitously within two years.
Seems to me that's exactly what you're saying.
“Since then, we have been in the petrodollar world. The dollar was tied to oil instead. “
that is why we are currently trying to acquire Venezuela
I did.
There is no 8-K filing.
Without power to tax, Treasury bonds will not sell. Deficits are supported by sale of Treasury notes & bonds. I see nothing wrong in purchasing bond paying 5% interest so long as inflation is under 3%.
It could happen.
Yeah I just went looking for it myself and didn’t find it. So this whole story might very well be bs.
>>>...contacts. If those connections were coated with Gold...<<<
yes, it seems that all imported commercial electronics doesn’t/don’t have gold-plating over ohmic contacts, connectors, connections, couplings, plugs, etc. etc. - just plain brass, copper... - so they corrode, oxidize and fail in no time.
Given current government spending patterns bond buyers will fairly soon have to factor in the possibility of a default. 4.83% isn’t going to cut it at that risk level. Especially when real inflation rates are higher than the current CPI calculations.

Yes!
“There are two types of people on this earth, those that are slaves and those that are masters, the difference between them is land.”
I see no default. So long as there are income producers, corporate or individual people. Taxing power is paramount. Only risk with bonds is interest rates could climb to Carter era.
Probably correct, but consider that the current problem (deficit/national debt) is so out of control that taxing the “rich” (over $250K income according to Obama/Biden) at 100% of their income only generates about $1 Trillion annually while the current annual budget deficit is about $1.8 Trillion...and of course taxing them at 100% of their income is “unworkable”. So unless the Feds take a 30-40% budget cut across the board soon then default or currency debasement/”inflate away the debt” becomes inevitable.
Do not worry. US debt will not default. If it did, every investment vehicle (stocks, real-estate, gold) will also tank. Mother of all depressions will arrive. Do you know during last depression of 1930’s gold tanked because there were no buyers.
DC politicians have money printing machine.
You can’t do any of those things with your securities either..
“Important to note the Hunts used mostly paper future contracts. “
Again, Socrates is putting out false information either because it is worthless or is trying to throw us a curve ball.
They bought massive amounts of actual silver, accumulating two-thirds of the privately held silver.
Most often they took delivery of silver when their futures contracts matured.
