This message did not age well — many (maybe even most) “COVID-19 conspiracy theories” of early 2020’s have already been proven accurate. The perpetrators of this psyop are now already pleading guilty (https://goldtadise.com/?p=704394 ) yet multiple head honcho arrests are still possible.  Had the legacy media chosen to do investigative journalism, they might not have disgraced themselves and become irrelevant. 

You would had to have born yesterday to believe the numbers he was using….

Who’s tears welled up as you watch this………..

This should get some comments from the this Group LOL…

The following precious metals prognosticators have predicted the price of gold and silver. Please summarize where they believe the Price will be by the end of 2026 for Gold and silver and provide the mean or average of their combined predictions:

Matthew Piepenburg, Andy Hoese, Michael Oliver, Don Durrett, Eric Sprott, Chris Vermuelin, David Hunter, Gareth Soloway, Grant Williams, Ted Oakley, Marc Faber, Rafi Farber, Francis Hunt, Simon Hunt, Peter Schiff, Rick Rule, John Rubino, Alasdair Macleod.

Also make a list of which of these individuals do not provide price predictions.

FROM CHATGPT

Yes. I went through the available 2026 interviews, articles and statements for all 18 names. There is an important complication: many of these people do not actually give a specific December 31, 2026 price target. Some give a longer-term target, some give a range, and some deliberately refuse to make price forecasts.

So I would separate the results into specific numerical targets versus general bullish/bearish views.

My summary

The interesting part: the average

Because the forecasts aren’t all genuinely “December 31, 2026” forecasts, I would not pretend that a simple average is a statistically rigorous forecast.

However, if we take the numerical targets that can reasonably be associated with the current 2026 outlook, using the midpoint where someone gives a range:

Gold

Using:

• Michael Oliver: $8,500
• Don Durrett: $7,000
• Eric Sprott: $10,000
• Chris Vermeulen: $7,500
• David Hunter: $20,000
• Gareth Soloway: $3,500
• Andy Hoese: $15,000 midpoint of $10–20K
• Peter Schiff: $10,000
• Rick Rule: $5,000
• John Rubino: $10,000

Average = approximately $9,650/oz

Silver

Using:

• Michael Oliver: $400 midpoint of $300–500
• Don Durrett: $200
• Eric Sprott: $250 midpoint of $200–300
• Chris Vermeulen: $100
• David Hunter: $500
• Gareth Soloway: $77.50 midpoint of $75–80
• Francis Hunt: $330
• Peter Schiff: $200
• Rick Rule: $79 midpoint of $78–80
• John Rubino: $200
• Rafi Farber: $231

Average = approximately $231/oz

So, the “consensus” of this group, if you force the numbers together, is:

But I would put an asterisk beside those numbers. They are averages of their stated targets, not a true average of year-end 2026 forecasts. David Hunter’s $20,000/$500 and Francis Hunt’s $330 silver, for example, are much more properly viewed as bull-market-cycle targets.

Who does NOT provide a specific price prediction?

If by “prediction” you mean a specific price for gold or silver by the end of 2026, I would put these in that category:

1. Matthew Piepenburg
2. Andy Hoese — gives a long-term gold range, but not a specific 2026 year-end number
3. Grant Williams
4. Ted Oakley
5. Marc Faber
6. Simon Hunt
7. Alasdair Macleod

There is an important distinction with Macleod: he has discussed numbers such as $8,000 gold and $300+ silver, but he has explicitly said “I don’t make price forecasts.” (Bonner Private Research) His more recent discussion of $7,750–$8,000 gold was specifically described by him as “food for thought, not a forecast.” (Macleod Finance)

One person who really stands out

Gareth Soloway is the major outlier in the opposite direction. While most of this group is extremely bullish, his current 2026 thesis is that gold could fall to approximately $3,500 and silver could fall below $50 before recovering, with his year-end silver expectation around $75–80. (ForecastCard)

That makes him particularly useful in this comparison because he provides a genuine bear-case counterweight rather than simply another bullish target.

My interpretation

If I were using these people to construct a 2026 gold/silver forecast rather than simply averaging them, I’d divide them roughly into three camps:

Conservative / moderate bullish

• Rick Rule
• Gareth Soloway
• Peter Schiff’s older forecast
• Chris Vermeulen

Strongly bullish

• Don Durrett
• Eric Sprott
• Michael Oliver
• John Rubino
• Francis Hunt
• Alasdair Macleod’s monetary thesis

Extreme / monetary-reset scenario

• David Hunter
• Andy Hoese
• Michael Oliver’s upper-end silver target
• Eric Sprott’s $10K gold/$300 silver scenario

The really striking finding is that the bullish camp isn’t simply predicting $5,000–$6,000 gold anymore. Several are talking about $8,000–$10,000+ gold and $200–$500 silver. Sprott, for example, recently said he believes gold could reach $10,000 and silver could reach $200–$300. (Forbes)

If you want, I can take this one step further and build you a “2026 Precious Metals Prognosticator Scorecard” ranking all 18 from most bullish to most bearish, with their exact forecast, forecast date, whether they’ve been historically accurate, and a weighted consensus forecast for December 31, 2026.

“The buybacks change the composition of Treasury supply. They do not eliminate the deficit, reduce federal borrowing needs or create new money. Treasury can retire older long dated securities, but the government still has to finance itself elsewhere through bills, shorter maturities or future issuance. The market first traded the headline. Then it traded the arithmetic.”

Yes, really. This is how bad it’s gotten. Britain’s borders have become so porous that the state feels obliged to tutor new arrivals in the most basic rules of civilised society.

Officials openly acknowledge that “laws and customs here may be different from your home country.” The document, published this week, is the clearest admission yet that large numbers of those arriving do not share the fundamental values that keep women and children safe.

Didn’t the last pandemic force mail-in ballots during an election cycle – history never repeats but it often rhymes

On our way to 50….wonder how long that will take.

$30T was reached around January 31, 2022, and $40T was crossed August 19, 2026. So, 1.661 days, or 4.55 years.

If current fiscal trends persist:

• $40T: August 2026
• $41T: ~late 2026 / early 2027
• $45T: ~2029
• $50T: 2030–2031

If the daily increase accelerates to $7B/day, $40T ? $50T takes only ~3.9 years.

No way the US can ever let Interest Rates rise…Sophie’s choice every day now.

Yesterday’s Treasury announcement just accelerated the timeline and amplified what would have been a multiple days rally into a one day spike.  We have ALREADY had the likely pullback early this morning.  With Gold reaching the “first target” around the 200 day mvg. it corrected to near 4450, and that should be as low as it is likely to go.  A few days of sideways chop and drift is likely.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Silver, however, despite it’s sharp rally yesterday, still has room to run towards it’s “first target” around 71+, where it would reach it’s 200 day mvg. avg., as well.  Today’s morning pullback low is probably as low as Silver corrects.  When and how fast it works it’s way towards 71, while unknown, is likely to occur by next week.

I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me.

+27,000 deportations. Last week.

+3,600 a day average.

Tracking for 1.4 million deportations across the calendar year.

+69,000 illegals are in DHS jails waiting to be deported at this moment.

And you haven’t heard a blip about it in the corporate press. Why? My DHS source says “stealth tactics.”

“We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong.”

And here’s where it gets insane…

DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal.

It’s happening. You just don’t see it.

We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.

Something in our Western society must be so threatening that the rest of the world seems to have reason to hate our civilization. May it be communism, Islam or satanism, apparently they are standing in line to destroy our western world.

Just picture yourself our Muslim Barack Obama, working together with Zionist Joe Biden and ‘Satanist’ Hillary Clinton. It is their intense hatred for America, that binds them and made them cooperate in their 16-Year Plan to Destroy America.

Abdolnaser Hemmati has now acknowledged on state television that Iran is no longer exporting oil at all and is simultaneously unable to access its blocked financial resources.

“We are no longer exporting oil at all. This is a reality we acknowledge,” Hemmati said.

That cuts directly into one of the regime’s most important sources of hard currency. Hemmati says the squeeze is spreading across the economy, with oil revenues, tax revenues and social security contributions all declining at the same time.

And the regime has a second major problem: billions of dollars it expected to access remain frozen.

The Islamic Republic had promoted the June understanding with the United States as a major economic breakthrough, claiming roughly $12 billion in frozen assets would become accessible in stages. U.S. officials disputed that the funds would be released unconditionally at the time. (Iran International | Iran International)
Two months later, according to Hemmati, not a single dollar has been released.

The squeeze is now coming from both ends: new oil revenue has been choked off while billions already held abroad remain blocked.

For an economy already struggling with inflation, currency weakness and mounting fiscal pressure, losing the oil lifeline while remaining locked out of foreign reserves creates an increasingly dangerous cash crunch for the regime.

………..’

The Iranians themselves are now admitting what anons have been saying for months: they are completely broke, can’t export oil, can’t import food.

Mass starvation and civil disorder comes next.

Just remember, the Iranians asked for this. Don’t feel sorry for them.

BOLD MOVE BY US INTEL AND MILITARY…YOU HAVE TO MARVEL AT THIS SET UP

The operation was made possible by a recent two-week U.S. Central Command military campaign that degraded Iran’s radar and maritime surveillance systems, the officials said.

Iran has diminished visibility of the traffic in the southern channel of the strait. Its monitoring is limited to a few radars it managed to reconstitute as well as “spotters” in small IRGC fast boats, U.S. officials say.
Because the Iranians are mostly “blind,” they are launching drones and cruise missiles in the general direction of where ships might be transiting

Former NBA player and transgender woman Ms. Royce White has FORMALLY declared for the 2027 WNBA draft, joining Enes Freedom — Fox

“Why WOULDN’T they let me play? It’s completely bigoted to deny my trans existence.”

White’s legal counsel MATT GAETZ has signed the declaration:

“As of the signing of the attached declaration, Ms. White identifies as a transgender woman. Consistent with Article XIII, Section 1(a) of the 2026–2033 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the WNBA and the WNBPA, Ms. White affirms her eligibility to be considered for selection on that basis.”

“As of signing this declaration, I identify as a transgender woman.”

The notice confirms her FULL eligibility.

The lockdowns that wiped out small businesses. The school closures that sent children’s reading scores back to 1971. The plexiglass, the masking, the stay-at-home orders. None of it was about keeping us safe. “It was exactly the opposite,” as Tucker put it.

“I was told by top FDA, NIH officials that a major reason for social distancing, lockdowns, masking, Plexiglas, stay-at-home orders, and everything else was to delay the onset of natural immunity, to delay rising seroprevalence levels, to delay endemicity until after the shots were online.” “So that they could wait until the injection came along. So the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and, and thereby get all the credit for having solved the issue.”

How many are buying today?  It’s hard because those who didn’t buy on the pullback are saying, I’ll wait for another dip….too big of a move today.  For GDX, this is going to happen all the way back to 117….

At that point, great cup and handle, expect a pull back between 100 and 110, and then another breakout.  I’ve been looking for this for 6 months….this has been a long shitty spring and summer for investments, but feeling more confident as the Treasury Dept has admitted it will now QE it….and whatever they tell you….they are lying.  They will buy more than they disclose…just like we found out in the GFC…that we loaned massive amounts of money to foreign banks as well as US banks…..they just waited to tell you way after the fact.

Sure, it’s QE lite….my ass…..

Under the accelerated buyback, Treasury, led by Secretary Scott Bessent, will target the 10- to 20-year and 20- to 30-year portion of the market, which has seen a buyers’ strike since late June. The government will “at least double” the maximum size of its buyback operations, from $2 billion to “at least” $4 billion, according to an announcement from the department.

What’s the debt we need to roll this year?  11 trillion…..double the buyback to $4 billion.  When someone is lying to your face, call bullshit.  I’m calling bullshit.  What’s 4 billion out of 11 trillion….that’s like a drop spilled from you 2 liter coke bottle.  Bullshit.

Sure, all the gold is at Ft. Know….my ass….

It’s nice to be right once in awhile….

Enjoying today, expect a pullback tomorrow of a third of this gain….just the way it goes.  But I do hear this as the starter’s gun as the bullish period for gold and silver into year end.  Enjoy the ride!!

Summary

• The U.S. Department of Energy will not move forward with the designation of three proposed National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors that the Biden administration selected for review in 2024, saying in a Wednesday release that the corridors were selected as a “means to advance” that administration’s “Green New Scam agenda.”
• “Transmission policy must serve the American people,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in the release, “not special interests or a climate-alarmist agenda that drives up costs, worsens reliability, and disregards the concerns of local communities.”
• DOE’s release alleged that the “current designation framework proved ineffective in strengthening grid reliability and reducing electricity costs. In some communities, it also contributed to confusion and concern about the scope and intent of NIETC authority.”

The three cancelled corridors are the Lake Erie–Canada Corridor, the Southwestern Grid Connector Corridor and the Tribal Energy Access Corridor.
