Why Gold and Silver Are Poised for an Unprecedented Bull Run

Gold and silver are no longer just safe havens in times of crisis; they are rapidly becoming essential hedges against the most profound financial risks of our generation. We stand on the precipice of a new, historic bull market in precious metals, one that may eclipse the dramatic run-up of 2002-2011, when gold went from $278/oz to over $1,900/oz in that period.

Consider the convergence of destabilizing factors: global geopolitical uncertainty has reached its highest level in decades, with conflicts, trade wars, and power shifts threatening economic stability. The world is grappling with an eye-watering $315 trillion in debt — an unsustainable burden that will inevitably devalue fiat currencies. In the U.S. alone, national debt has ballooned beyond $35 trillion, with no sign of responsible fiscal policy on the horizon.

America’s out-of-control debt train hasn’t gone unnoticed by foreign governments and investors alike.

In response, central banks around the globe are stockpiling gold at record rates. China, Russia, and BRIC nations are questioning the dominance of the U.S. dollar and are in serious discussions about creating a rival global currency — a move that would further erode the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. The petrodollar, long the linchpin of global trade, is losing relevance as energy markets diversify and the U.S. loses its geopolitical leverage.

This year saw a significant surge in gold prices as investors increasingly sought gold as a safe haven amid global geopolitical tensions (post-9/11, war on terror) and the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar.

we believe 2023/2024 is a repeat of the start of the 2001/2002 gold and silver bull markets. The financial and global dynamics are just too similar to ignore.

For example, from the end of 2001 to the end of 2002, gold rose 24%. From the breakout in 2023 to the end of 2024 (YTD), gold is up 28%!

Here’s another reason, and maybe the best spark of why gold is ready to rise…

Rate Cuts and Exploding National Debt is a Recipe for Strong Gold and Silver Prices

The investment strategy known as “Don’t fight the Fed” is rooted in the concept that investors should align their strategies with the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies rather than attempting to bet against them.

Regardless of your opinion about how the Fed manipulates the markets, the idea (or just plain fact) is that the Fed’s actions, particularly regarding interest rates and liquidity in the financial system, have a powerful influence on markets. 

Therefore, aligning with the direction of Fed policy is more likely to yield success than opposing it.

What’s the Play in this Environment? Junior Mining Stocks

Junior miners in the gold and silver sectors have historically shown strong performance during precious metals bull markets, often outperforming the underlying metals themselves. This outperformance can be attributed to their higher leverage to rising metal prices and their potential for significant earnings growth as operational costs are typically fixed, meaning any increase in metal prices disproportionately boosts their profitability.

However, it’s important to note that junior miners are also more volatile and can experience sharper downturns during bear markets or periods of price stagnation. The high-risk, high-reward nature of these stocks makes them attractive during bullish phases, but they require careful timing.

And we want to tell you about a new, exciting stock we are researching right now for coverage.

In fact, we think it’s one of the most exciting juniors on the market right now. It’s inexpensive, trading for a market cap of just $600 million, and it’ll be producing a mineral so needed by the U.S. military, that the Pentagon has joined forces with them.

And the stock has gone gangbusters.

Check this out.

The junior miner has outperformed the combined gains of the Dow, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ by 300%! It has out-gained bitcoin this year by the same margin. It has even done better than red-hot NVIDIA’s 180% gain for the year.

The company’s stock trades for just $9 a share. But we think it’s headed for over $100 a share within the next 12 months.

Here’s why…

The company is preparing for production in the remote mountains of central Idaho. It’s an emerging opportunity that could reshape America’s strategic mineral landscape forever.

Now is the time to get ahead of the curve and invest in the future of American industrial security.

We will soon have a full write up on this company and its investment opportunity.

And in the coming weeks, we will be releasing a list of junior mining stocks to buy right now. 

Make sure you’re on the list to receive this once they’re off the press.
