Gold Sustains A “Real” Historic High

Gold Sustains A “Real” Historic High

Gold is up 171% versus the U.S. dollar since 2019.

There’s a genuine bull market in place here – 35% year to date.

More importantly, gold has now sustained above its inflation-adjusted high:

Gold’s peak of $800 back in 1980, adjusted for inflation, clicks in at $3,500 per ounce, making gold’s break above $3,600 the first all-time high in real, inflation-adjusted terms, in 44 years.

And retail investors have barely noticed.

The gold rally is but one reaction to persistent inflation — and this Terrifying Bull Market. Is not too late to buy.

P.S.: We see further upside in gold for several reasons — central bank buying, soaring M2  money supply… a global crisis in government debt… the endgame for global fiat… geopolitical concerns.

We’re experiencing the return of a 1970s-style macro environment. Gold could hit $10,000 by the end of the decade… and still have room to run. For a reasoned approach, check out our full research on the topic here.

When Debt Strangles Growth

October 22, 2025 • Lau Vegys

U.S. government debt is edging closer to the $38 trillion mark — now well over 120% of GDP. That puts the U.S. in the same league as basket-case economies like Venezuela, Sudan, and Lebanon. Not exactly the kind of company you want to keep.

But it makes sense: history shows that once a country crosses this threshold, things start to break — and it’s rarely just one thing. I’ve talked a lot about that in the past.

Dunning-Kruger and The Greatest Fool

October 22, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

An admission: we’re mildly obsessed with the private credit markets.

When there’s a bull market in everything — AI stocks, financials, rare earths, gold and silver — it helps to keep an eye on the plumbing.

One chart tells the tale: since 2015, bank loans to non-depository financial institutions (NDFIs) — think private equity and private-credit funds — have soared nearly 300%.

Consumer loans, residential mortgages, commercial real estate? Flat as Kansas. Post-2008, Basel III and Dodd-Frank made leveraged and middle-market lending so capital-intensive that banks stepped back.

Gold dropped nearly 2% yesterday. But with the massive increase in fiat currencies globally, that’s an opportunity to buy more cheaply.

With that much cash sloshing around the system, the “debasement trade” is a go.

The Dominoes Keep Falling in the Move to Digital Money

October 21, 2025 • Ian King

Trillions of dollars are already being transferred and tracked on the tokenized rails that Visa, JPMorgan, Mastercard and other major financial institutions plan to scale globally in the next 12 months.

Meaning, there’s no longer such a thing as “crypto vs. the banks.”

Because the same financial giants that crypto once tried to replace are taking the best parts of blockchain — speed, transparency and programmability — and fusing them into the system they already control.

And as each domino falls, it brings us closer to a world where money moves as easily as data.

It means that by the end of 2025, digital dollars could settle more value than PayPal ever has.

So if you’re still treating digital money as “the future,” you’re already a step behind.
