Nations are selling off US Treasuries, presumably for Gold, the safest haven. What Brics started, much of the world is finishing.

Looking through his posting history over the last month Delta7 seems to be a gold bug. He is jonesing for Armageddon so that his good stash goes up in volume. He is into gold doom porn.

In 1980 the 10 year yield was close to 16 percent.

From 1974 thru 1992 it never went below 7 percent.

China’s behind this crap and a few other hunger countries helping with ginning up fear. Watch for deep state bad actors - might be a way to out them.

Taking over reserve currency is the goal and fear’s the tool. Won’t work. Trump’s forgotten more about capitalism than Xi has ever known.

We’re still BY FAR the safest currency in the world.

In the 70’s I was a Goldbug, in the late 80’s, 90’s till about 2000 I was an Equities hound, then right before 9/11 a Silver hound and Goldbug, then back to paper…alittle real estate when appropriate….got out of paper almost two years ago and went back to a Goldbug,…..notice something Junior?

That’s right, I successfully navigated through ALL the financial crashes, successfully hitting all the highs, whether PM’s or equities. …. Timing was everything!

A word for the youngsters, this coming haircut will make the 2008 haircut look like a hiccup. Nothing grows forever, mentored by Sinclair, Russell, and Armstrong, all legendary and all realized there is a business ( economic) cycle.

And yes, in over 50 years I now “ sense” the US is in the dreaded debt spiral, there is no financial “ instrument “ in the world to take refuge in, except for hard assets that can be held in your possession.

This upcoming “Reset” will also pass, be well positioned for “ the other side”.

“Looking through his posting history over the last month Delta7 seems to be a gold bug. He is jonesing for Armageddon so that his good stash goes up in volume. He is into gold doom porn.”

In 2014 he predicted gold going to $5000 in 2015.

In 2014 he predicted that there world economies would collapse in 2015.

Last November he predicted a US civil war would start in January 2025.

Yesterday he was posting about China’s large gold holdings saying he had just heard from two “in the know” sources.

Today he posts an OP ideo headlines 25,000 tons of gold held by China.

Listening to the video the source of that number is some dude that the Podcaster met years ago and doesn’t even remember his name.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ARMSTRONG

Not at all. ARMSTRONG is very pro-Russia.

He is also a convicted felon that claims he was wrongly convicted of securities fraud by the US government.

I suspect you are not old enough to remember the legendary Richard Russell, he put out newsletters, as did Sinclair, I read them all…..there is nothing “ new under the sun “.

When you realize who “ gets it” and those that don’t, you will listen to advice….and be rewarded by “ the counsel of many”.

One of the best things that could happen for ordinary Americans would be the dollar losing its reserve status.

The falling dollar would make imports simply too expensive even without tariffs and US exports would be a bargain. Foreign investment by US firms (aka outsourcing) would also become too expensive, while investments in US businesses by foreigners would be much cheaper.

Nevermind the Bond market. Most stocks are deeply discounted.
It’s like a fire sale.

Dump out your piggy bank (money market) and load up your portfolio.

90% support TRump on immigration. 75% support DOGE.
Only 20% support Tariffs. 20% are Adam Smith Capitalists.
20% are hard core anti-Trump on everything. 40% are on the fence.

The media, both pro and anti Trump are no help. They slant the story, cherry pick the facts and language to support their slant.

If the 20% that support Trump and buy low to sell high later the US will not face near term problems. But if those who support Trump do not put their money where their mouth is 2026 will see a massive repudiation of tariffs at the polls.
