Make The CHANGE To God’s Money

I am so honored to introduce you to Martin. A humble Englishman who calls himself a donkey because he just keeps obeying Papa’s voice.

Young Martin was a world renown clarinet player who was called to lay it down and take up a higher calling to move to America and MAKE money.

Listen to his tender testimony of what God can do with a man who just keeps saying yes and how his sacrifice is now an anointed benefit to us all!

We are in a New Renaissance and this is one of the new wine skins to embrace and follow in preparing for blessings to come.

My name is Justin, and I think can everybody hear me? Can you hear me in the back side? Yep. So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna kind of lay out and let you guys know what we're gonna be uh trying to accomplish in the next 90 minutes or so. And uh and then we'll go from there. We'll try to get wrapped up, maybe have some time for some Q ⁇ A at the end. But my name is Justin, I do live here in the villages, or I live in the villages kind of. So I'm down in down in the Middleton area where they allow people with children to live. Um but what we're gonna get into first thing I wanted to go over is uh just a quick disclaimer that this presentation is for educational and informational purposes. It's not intended to be financial advice, legal advice, tax advice. It is not investment advice. We are not financial advisors. So please consult your own professional advisors before making any financial decisions. Past performance does not guarantee any future results. Does everybody understand that? We just want to be able to speak freely of this event.

SPEAKER_09 1:13

Can you hear okay?

SPEAKER_06 1:14

Yeah. Alright. So let's get started with a couple of questions. Have you guys kind of started to notice how much more expensive things are starting to become? It really feels like over the last four or five years, things have really changed, especially at the grocery store, at the gas pump, uh, pretty much everywhere you guys somebody was saying amen to the gas pump. Um, so um some of the questions that you guys, while we're going through this presentation throughout today, that you guys may want to ask yourself, is just you know, have you guys wondered if your money's really safe? Have you guys ever wondered that? Have you ever thought about gold and silver? Maybe you guys weren't sure where to begin. And after this recent year of having large gains, some people may be asking yourself, have I missed it? And hopefully by the end, you guys will be able to answer all those questions today. And would you guys like to have more confidence and clarity during uncertain times? So, why this conversation matters? We are living in a time of economic uncertainty. Many families were never taught to protect wealth. Gold and silver have been trusted for generations. Education, which is what we're trying to do today, creates confidence. And wise decisions today can shape tomorrow. When times are uncertain, wisdom becomes priceless. So, told you guys my name is Justin Swordland. Uh I believe probably most of you guys met my wife Heather when we were checked when you guys were checking in. And uh we do, like I said, we do live in Middleton. I do have a nice hooked-up golf cart that we do take just about everywhere. Um, you know, we're down in Middleton, so we had to get them with the lights and the speakers, and you know, we had to get one that was kind of all decked out. Um but I'm just I'm a husband, uh, I'm a father. Like I said, I'm a five-year-old in the uh in the charter school. That is one of the many, many, many reasons that we that we moved to the villages. If I were to write them all down, we probably have 20 different reasons that we move there, but the the charter school is definitely one of them. Um and I do work with Kingdom Talents, and I'm just passionate about helping people. Uh and I'm under I'm passionate about helping people kind of understand what they worked so hard to do. So I I remember when I placed my first purchase of silver, it was I believe it was exactly $26. I think it says $27. Um But I remember actually making a video at another conference where I'd learned about Kingdom Talents. Um, but I was at another conference and I remember I made a video that silver made so much sense to me that I could buy an ounce of silver for the price that I could go with my wife to McDonald's. Not so much that way anymore, but it was just a short time ago that it just made complete sense to me. But here's the thing my whole life I knew how to go to McDonald's. I knew how to go get in line for Big Mac, but you know what? I was over 40 before anybody ever taught me how to buy a precious metal. I was over 40 before I ever knew how to do that. And I could have been accumulating for years and years and years as opposed to for the price of a couple of Big Macs at McDonald's had I had I learned sooner. So that is part of why I'm very, very passionate about the precious metals industry itself. Um so I am uh I do work with Kingdom Talents, and I Kingdom Talents is gonna be around uh has been around since 2013. Um and I am just looking to bring, you know, bring all of them here, you know, to be able to meet you guys and speak with you guys. So here's what we're gonna go over today. Uh in a few minutes I'm gonna bring up David. And David is gonna speak on what's happening in the gold and silver markets right now, why precious metals and what might be ahead, and why many people are starting to pay attention to game. Again, a lot of people started paying attention here in the last uh in the last few years, as precious metals are obviously going on a big run. And so we're gonna talk about how precious metals might fit into a long-term wealth protection and practical next steps for those people that want to be able to learn more. After that, we're also going to bring up Martin, who is the founder of Kingdom Talents. And it's gonna be very exciting, easy for me to be able to sit here and listen to his story of what he's gonna talk about. So, open your mind, lean in, take notes, and really most importantly, just relax. Today's just about clarity, confidence, and wisdom. After we're all done and Martin is finished speaking, there may be a little bit of time left over for a little bit of QA. Also, uh, after the event is over, we're you know all going to be around for individual question and answer as well. So we may end up just uh wrap up the event and then just do QA kind of individually. So I've pretty much already gone over what to expect. And I think uh it's time to bring up David. Wonderful, wonderful.

SPEAKER_05 7:28

Thank you, Justin. I appreciate it. Good morning. Good morning, how are you guys today? Brilliant, brilliant. Forgive me for a second. Um I'm very much from London, as you can tell, and so this weather outside is probably does feeling a little bit strange. Um, you know, we split time between London and North Carolina, so you know, not too much colder, um, but it's uh it's lovely. But thank you guys so much again for being with us today. You know, as Justin mentioned, um, you know, we are we're based in Charlotte, but we are doing some business down here in the villages. We've got two fantastic reps, uh, Justin Swoman, as you've met before, and Jeff Ekstrom, and the lovely chef over here on the left. Um, so they're gonna be a fantastic resource. Again, any questions you guys have about anything we speak today, especially as it relates to the market, they're gonna be a fantastic resource. Fantastic. So, did everybody take their golf cuts here? Or did any of you drive? What's the what's the common practice here? Golf cuts. Golf cuts? What it seems like. You know, it's funny, I uh I drive what I can only consider a fairly small truck, and I remember pulling into Brownwood Hope you know, hotel brownwood area, and I couldn't believe it when um I left dinner and couldn't get up because there was three golf cuts. Definitely parked in the wrong parking at that time, but no, that is that is okay.

SPEAKER_09 8:47

Wonderful.

SPEAKER_05 8:50

Perfect. Fantastic. Can everybody see my screen? Can everybody see that? Golden Sol Maple? Wonderful, guys. Um guys, what I'm gonna be focusing on primarily this morning is what's happened over the last three to four months. Obviously, golden song has moved uh pretty significantly in the last few years, but what we saw in January was uh very unusual, very parabolic. It was in the news, it was on obviously Sean Hannity was talking about, then Shapiro was talking about these voices that we we tuned into were talking about how crazy things were going. And I think for a lot of people, you know, we look at a ticker and we see movement, we don't always know why these things are happening. You know, a lot of you may have grown up around gold and silver or remembered when you know a quarter was made of silver, right? And so my goal today is to kind of share some of the reasons why gold and silver is moved as it has. Fantastic. As Justin said, you know, again, we want to be careful here. Um, we are manufacturers and brokers of precious metals. We want to be clear and upfront about that. What we are certainly not is financial advisors, because your wealth, especially as it's been built over the years, uh, is very precious and should be protected. And we want you to make sure you're consulting your financial advisors, your professionals, and making sure that you make the best decision for yourself. Fantastic. So I think before we can really dive into where gold and silver has been and what has happened in the last year, it's important to understand where we are right now. So gold as of this morning is just trending right under $4,700 an ounce, up roughly 1,500 ounces year over year, and uh just earlier this year it's passed $5,000 an ounce for the first time ever in late January 2026. If you guys are familiar, um the US Mint produces a uh ounce of gold, right? It's a gold coin, it's called the American Eagle. And that American Eagle has a dollar denomination associated with it. So if you'd like to make a bad decision, you could, in theory, take that gold coin and uh go buy something from you know your local gas station. Because at one point in time that was the price of an American Eagle, right? The money represented on that coin. Now, of course, today that is a very different reality, and the price of the metal inside of that coin has obviously risen significantly. As I said, 4,700 ounces this morning. The more interesting to me is silver. Uh, silver has gone through what I can only uh describe as an absolute parabolic uh skyrocket up north. You know, silver is a really interesting metal because it is not necessarily always seen as just an investment vehicle. For a long time, and for us in London, you're actually not allowed to put silver into a retirement job. The reason being is that in the UK, people see silver as a manufacturing element, they see it as an industrial asset. And so for them, they don't even qualify it as an investment grade metal. Now, of course, in the United States that's very different. You can put quite a few different things in retirement accounts, but for silver, again in the United Kingdom, they don't allow that. And I think that's really interesting because it speaks to a couple key points about the nature of silver, the demand of silver. Again, you guys remember when silver was in your currency and your coins, but now it's in everything you see around you. It's in every cell phone, just like gold. It's in every electric vehicle, it's probably in all of your golf carts, uh especially Justin's, because he's got it absolutely tricked out. Um, and and and it will continue to be that way. So, um, you know, looking at silver, uh, silver's up roughly 130% year over year and topped out at 121 an ounce just earlier this year in January. How do we get here? Um, you know, as I said, gold has doubled uh in just under two years. Silver's roughly tripled in 2024. Again, we're gonna go into some of those reasons here shortly, but I think one of the big things to note is that this is not a singular issue. There is not one thing driving the cost of silver and the cost of gold. In fact, it's actually about four or five things that are all contributing together at the same time. And I think that's what's really interesting. Uh guys, we're in pretty interesting times. I think uh, you know, without getting into the specifics, uh, there's a lot of uncertainty in the world, right? Geopolitically, we're just right before MOOCs closed, um, what's going on here nationally. Um, it's easy to say that gold and silver move because of those things. Uh, to be to be quite clear, it's it's not always so straightforward. As I mentioned, gold and silver move uh with various for various different reasons. And early this year we saw what I can only call the perfect storm. All five of these forces contributed to pressure in the market and it shifted things quite dramatically. We're going to talk about each of these things one by one, but sort of overview. The first thing we want to talk about is the difference between paper silver and physical silver. You know, one of the things that we do here at King Talents is we produce physical silver. As you can see on that table, that 78 ounces that I just talked about is sitting well on that table. That $4,700 of an ounce is sitting just next to it on that table. A lot of people, however, are invested in paper silver in the comics market, and futures and different ETFs. And again, very different product, apples and oranges. But it's important to understand how those apples and oranges come together and how they impact each other. And as we're going to see, the difference between paper silver and physical silver, especially in January, of course, quite a stir. Next, we're going to talk about China and their export controls. Just earlier this year, China decided to limit and at this very point almost ban the national export of silver. Again, as we mentioned, silver is used for so much, so much technology, it's used obviously in the AI revolution that we're seeing in front of us, and it will continue to be used in that manner alongside its use as an investment media. Next, we're going to talk about the silver squeeze. Silver squeeze, very similar to what happened in London with the LBMA, represents in many cases what happened when you know we had a lack of supply, significant demand, and then you know, main and main retail payment. And it caused pressures in the market, and as I said, we'll discuss that a little bit further. Fourth thing, you know, central banks have been buying gold and silver forever. You know, this is not an uncommon thing. But in the last four or five years, we've seen that increase significantly. We'll get into that in just a moment. But typically, uh, rates of gold and silver acquisition are often tied with US sanctions. The US is very much intertwined, and the US is uh obviously financial um policies and sanctions are often very intertwined in how gold and silver moves, especially US dollar. US dollar is a big part of that. And lastly, again, we will touch on geopolitics. Uh, as I mentioned, there's a lot going on right now. You know, the biggest thing we want to we want to sort of uh educate you guys on is again, uh just because something happens in the news and looks it looks a little bit scary doesn't mean that it's going to impact the price of gold and silver. Of course, again, if you always want to be careful as you're looking at these things to consider all the variables, and again, please please consult the financial advisor, professional advisor before you do anything. Fantastic. So before we kind of go into uh the difference between paper, silver, and and and and physical silver and how that impacted what happened earlier this year, it's important to understand how the metals market work in that sense. So obviously, most gold and silver trading doesn't involve actual metal. Uh, I don't know if you guys have held a piece of silver or a piece of gold, um, but you know, if you're if you're rolling over an IRA and putting hundreds of thousands of dollars into an order, uh especially if it's in silver, that's quite a bit of metal. Um, you know, a lot of the times people will choose depositories or have savings in their own home. Um, but for many people, as I said, they like paper solar because they don't have to hold it. It's heavy. So, to understand this properly, you have to understand the two different systems of like firstly, you've got Comics in New York quantities exchange. This would obviously be you know not just precious metals but coffee and these different uh commodities. The main US futures exchange traders buy and sell contracts representing uh ounces of gold or ounces of silver. The vast majority of these contracts are sold in cash and the metal never changes out. Unfortunately, in January, or maybe fortunately, should I say, um, some people started to call out those deliveries. And what we came to find is there was more paper silver than physical silver. So, again, what happens is when demand is at one, right? And the supply isn't there, we are an issue. Secondly, we'll talk about the LBMA. Uh, the LBMA stands for the London Bullion Market Association, and they are responsible for a number of things. They're sort of a sort of a private public body of the gold and silver world. But one of the things that they do on a daily basis is they set what's called the global price benchmark, or also known as the London fixed price. This is a price in the morning and afternoon, and it's how a lot of the paper trading of gold and silver is done. Like ComEx, most London trading is an unallocated accounts, meaning the bank in that case is holding onto your medal and it doesn't allocate a specific bar, a specific coin to you specifically. And again, as we mentioned, when there's people calling for their medal in the London Building Market Association vault and they don't have enough, what happens? The squeeze. As I said, it's important to understand how paper silver and physical silver come together. Right now, and I think this is a pretty concerning number to me, the paper-to-physical silver ratio is 356 for one. Historically, that's been around 90 to 1. Um, and as I said, obviously it's pretty concerning. Now, in January, what was quite interesting is those vaults, obviously, when people were calling upon their medal and saying, hey, I want my money, those vaults dropped 26% in one week. Because again, people couldn't get the money out. Again, it's like going to Wells Fargo or Chase and uh trying to get cash out. And they said, you know, we don't have it, we can't give you your money. And that's what happened. So Comics has two vault categories uh registered, which is obviously immediately deliverable and eligible, stored but not committed. For 50 plus years, not many people are calling upon you know getting their metal. If it's sitting in a vault somewhere and you can avoid shipping it and carrying it and doing these different things, um, they want to. But the system is built on the assumption that people aren't going to call for their physical metal, uh, especially at you know uh at that rate. So what happened is in early January, large institutional holders, hedge funds and sovereign funds, began converting eligible metal to registered and demanding delivery. CodMex, as mentioned, their inventory collapsed 26% in that in that single week. And what that looks like, again, is as it relates to sort of the value of gold and silver, is that you hold it privately, especially physical metal, right? It's in your home, it's under your under your bed, it's in your safe. You know where your money is at all times. And so I think what's quite interesting is we're going through a time, and we'll touch on this later, where US sanctions, specifically as it relates to countries that are in trade wars with the United States, they were calling upon some of these vaults to take physical possession of their metal so that they wouldn't have that issue with the sanctions. They could hold it themselves. Um, another alarm that was quite disturbing is the fact that silver lease rates, which is the cost of borrowing physical uh metal, spikes from about half a percent all the way up to 8%. It's pretty much a fire alarm in this market. Obviously, when it's cheap to borrow silver, supply is ample, but it's 8%, it's pretty desperate. One thing that I think is really interesting about silver right now, especially as it relates to the demand for silver, is as we mentioned, there's an investment sign. So if you can imagine, you know, the market is going up 12, 15, 20% in a single day, and people are trying to make sure they're getting in and you know not missing out. They're also fighting against industry. So, Samsung, if any of you guys are familiar with Samsung on their mobile phones and TVs and such, they're working on a solid state battery technology. And this solid state battery technology requires a lot of silver. Large producer of silver in the world is in Mexico, and in Mexico, there are a number of mines who have begun to sign exclusive deals with companies like Samsung for four, five, six years into the future. Nvidia is another one of them. Obviously, they're producing chips for what's going on in the AI revolution, and as I said, that silver is part of that equation. So, again, we had a time where paper wasn't matching up to what was actually there, demand industrially was there, and then as I said, you have the everyday investor trying to catch it and get involved in the time. Obviously, the cascade of that is that LGMA, LBMA eligible stocks had fallen. Into 155 million ounces. When major banks stopped accepting paper settlement and demanded physical bars, there was simply not enough metal allocated to meet all claims simultaneously. Next, I want to talk about China. I got a call from, as I said, our favourite Justin Swagland, Middleton's best dad, asking if I could access Chinese pandas. And Chinese pandas are one of the most famous government coins that China produces. Very, very famous, very desirable. And you know, for the last 10 years that we've been in this market, the last five years that I've probably been aware of this market, I've never seen pandas unavailable in that same way. You know, you might be paying a premium for them. We saw them during Poland at different times, but we never saw a complete unavailability of these markets until early this year, as I said, when the export of these was first banned and then made very difficult. So exports require the Ministry of Commerce approval. Only state authorised enterprises with high production thresholds now qualify. Small export orders are completely locked out of the market. It comes raw silver, processed silver, and refined bullion. China produces all refined 60 to 70% of the world's silver. It's not a market participant, it is a market, again, one of the biggest leaders in this space, and the central banks are also buying all the silver at a rate. It's unprecedented. As I mentioned, you know, for everyday investor, the industries, the banks, they're all fighting for the same pool of value. And again, now without China involved, that pool is going to expand. And again, this is not something new to China, obviously, they've done this before. Rare, rare earth minerals and metals, they've done that before, banning them. Gallium and germanium, they've obviously required licenses, and that was done pretty quickly. And as I said, silver became just this year. So as far as how the US responded to that, the US added silver to its critical minerals list in November of last year, weeks before China acted. And the Allied governments are actively working to reduce dependence on Chinese silver and taking effort to find alternative supply chains. Third thing that happened again, and this is sort of it is this is the byproduct of those two first things happening at once. So we had what was the January silver squeeze. That's when all the headlines were going up, that's when Google Trends was pushing forward. Everybody was looking up silver, people were talking about it on CNBC and you know Fox News and these different things. So it's important to know silver gained 64% in 30 days. So from January 2nd to January 29th, just did this. You know, in our business, uh we like to alert our customers and our clients when silver moves. And typically we would do a price alert. Uh, if silver moved 50 cents, that was a that was a swing. If silver moved a dollar, that was a really big swing. You know, we wanted to make sure everybody knew what was going on. Uh, you know, those Vietnamese in January where this was moving 10 plus percent in a single day, it was moving rapidly in volatility in hours. Institutions again demanded real metal, not paper. India and Southeast Asia flooded into the market, obviously China's band sort of expedited some of that demand. And then obviously, as I said, those traders came in, and the momentum part line solar went from $72 to 1184 weeks. What happened very soon after, however, is it uh it corrected and it corrected quite hard. So on January 30th, uh silver fell $20 plus dollars an hour as funds locked in profits and trades cascaded. Um reports of massive paper contract volumes flooded in, and uh you know obviously that sort of pulled back some of the momentum of the physical demand and the physical requirements. And then they said retail traders on borrowed money phase force liquidation, automatic selling, and accelerated that call. So obviously, where do we stand right now? Uh silver settled near $67 in March, still three times its price in 2023, and it's now recovering, as I said, it's about $76 an hour. It's the last time I changed this money. As I said, some of that squeeze unwound a little bit. Fundamentals, obviously, people reacted to what happened in China, that delivery stress eased up, and uh this is the key part. The supply deficit has not changed. The supply deficit is still a very real issue. And something that I find particularly interesting is that for the fifth consecutive year we do not have enough silver to maintain the demand that is set in the market. As the LBMA quoted in their quarter one report, we are still under unprecedented physical demand pressure, which is something I've never heard them say. They've got very, very cautious language from them. As I mentioned, the fourth force that's contributing towards this is central banks and how they are purchasing metal. For the last three years, central banks have bought over a thousand tons of gold. 95% of central banks expect reserve to continue to grow further. 58% of the dollar share of global reserves are down from 71% in 2001. And we're at a 50-year high for buying pace. Something we haven't seen from central bank purchasing since the 1970s. It's important to realize that a lot of these banks that are buying central or these central banks that are buying metals, again, are banks that are lined up with those countries that are being sanctioned. Um, again, we also talk about things like BRICS. BRICS is a coalition of countries around the world that are taught from talking about de-dollarization and accumulating gold in that time. Russia is another big accumulator of gold and silver, specifically again, because they were sanctioned by the United States, and they can't freeze gold. Gold can just be converted into the next currency. Again, we're starting to see countries, especially NetBricks Cold, and trade with each other outside of the US dollar. Russia and India have been trading oil purchases with rupees, which is again been unprecedented. This is the petrodollar, we have been the global standard of trade for years, and as I said, things are changing. As mentioned, gold is the only reserve asset that nobody else has left both of. And lastly, again, and talk about geopolitics and how that's affecting things. Uh guys, we're in a US-Iran conflict. My goal today is certainly not to speculate on how that impacts gold and silver, and certainly how that impacts our nation. But it's important to understand how gold and silver is still used in those military efforts. Military confrontation truly fears and energy supply shock, gold spiked past $5,000 on safe haven and demand, moving out of stocks from the traditional market into gold as a refuge. Guys, people go to gold and silver because it is a safe haven. People go to gold and silver because though it has grown at slower rates over time, this is a metal that's been around for thousands and thousands of years, has been used as a medium of exchange for thousands and thousands of years, and will continue to be used as a store of wealth and as an element of technology as we continue to work in the future. Again, this happened within hours of news breaking, confirming that institutional capital is pre-positioned to rotate into gold for this type of event. Again, we're talking about the straight-of-for moves and how that affected gold silver. Again, when we look at gold and silver, oftentimes we look at gold and silver growing in value because of uh fear and pressure of the market. You know, again, people want to get out of the dollar, they want to get out of the stock market, those things that are impacted by global news and that, right? But it's not always so straightforward. So, an example of what's happened with straight reform moves, a sustained closure pushed oil higher, that raised inflation fears, which in theory would help gold, but it also should end the US dollar and pushed treasury yields up. Higher yields are a headwind for gold because gold doesn't pay you a yield. Obviously, it's not giving you 5 or 6% or whatever it is here. 5% treasury bond competes directly with it. So this cross current explains why gold has been volatile, not trending clearly in either direction since about late February. As I say, gold has been fairly stable since then. We've seen it rise a little bit in the last week or so, but generally it's been pretty stable. Again, it's been counteracted by both sides of what's going on in this conflict. As I mentioned, uh what's happening with the sanctions are quite interesting. When Russia's dollar reserves were frozen in 2022, central banks worldwide drew a sharp lesson. Foreign held financial assets can be confiscated. So gold, but gold still in your house or still in your vault, in the same way for Russia, it can't be confiscated by the United States. This accelerated buying by countries concerned about US sanction risk, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The Iran conflict reinforces logic for any nation away from the side banks. And lastly, as we mentioned with the central banks, some of these banks, uh, namely Turkey, Russia, and Ghana, sold gold to defend their own currencies and fund energy imports, creating short-term downward pressure. Others, for example, China, India, and Poland, kept buying. And that result was a market that moves sharply on headlines but trends upward over time as the structural buy-and-floor holds. Gold's 10% pullback from January is when the is actually within the normal range of continued long-term trend. Fantastic. And again, this is the biggest piece I want to harp on. And again, I'm bullish on silver because I'm bullish on the economy and I'm bullish on AI. Guys, I think we're entering a time where everything is going to change. I mean, many of you have seen just the difference in the last 20 or 30 years, right? The fact that we can drive a golf cart with our phone to an event you registered for online that you may have seen in an ad or on a newspaper. The times have changed and what is going to be possible and what is coming is unprecedented. And I think what's interesting is that silver really and gold are the backbones of this technology. One thing I want to talk about is firstly solar panels. Obviously, solar panels contain silver on every single cell. The IEA projects solar capacity to triple by 2030. So the consumption for solar is already a record highs, growing faster than any other use case. Keep in mind, obviously, as the government changes what happens with energy. Of course, you know, the current administration is not necessarily as green-thumbed as previous administrations. But as I said, it's things like that change. So I think solar will continue to grow. And as I said, you know, an important component of solar panels are silver. Electric vehicles, I do drive an electric vehicle, and I still hate driving it down here because it cost me an extra three hours. But just about every other day is my favorite thing in the world. EGB uses two to three times the silver of a conventional car, contacts, switches, and then the battery. And several millions of EBs being added annually, it's demanded structure. Again, I don't know if you guys saw what Elon and Tesla recently announced with their cyber taxi program, but they are producing millions and millions of self-driving autonomous cars. And each of those cars are going to require gold and soil in different ways. As I mentioned, AI and electronics, while only representing 10% of the demand currently, will continue to represent a strong portion of solar demand in the future. Everything from data centers, the 5G network technology, as I mentioned, semiconductors, which thankfully I'm proud of as a friend of someone who's building those in America, that we have shortened up some of our supply and will continue to short up the supply of those into the future. And then obviously consumer electronics. So I'm not sure about you guys, but I love coming around to September seeing what Apple was produced next and following along as I've replaced something I didn't need to replace, all for the joy of pulling back that screen protector and seeing that new technology. As AI infrastructure builds continues to accelerate, so the silver demand from this sector. Guys, another thing I want to talk about is how silver is a part of what's coming. Not only AI, but also with robotics. Again, like like Elon uh has done with the cyber taxi, he's also doing them with Optimus. Is it Optimus? Anybody anybody know about this project? Correct me. But Optimus, these are you know straight from the Jetsons, they're straight from I mean it's it's the it's the future we talked about many years ago. It represents a physical helper in your house. For $40,000, you can have a robot that knows what you're thinking before you're thinking it, identifies problems, sees the laundry that's unfolded in a corner and will do it for you. Personally, I've got no interest in putting another person in my house. But again, there's going to be millions and millions of these things produced. And in each of these devices are going to be chips, and those chips are made of silver. So, and the last one, as I mentioned, is industrial medical demand. Still has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal, and it's used in medical devices, water purification, antibacterial antibacterial coatings, and virtually every complex manufacturing product. So, I'd love to talk about what actually drives the gold price. As I mentioned, it's not always so straightforward. Gold and soil doesn't always move the way we think it will. And oftentimes I look at the price in the morning and I look at the headlines, and I'm pretty confused. So let's talk about the US dollar first. Gold is obviously priced in US dollars generally. When the dollar weakens, gold gets cheaper for foreign buyers, so demand rises and the dollar is strong, gold is more expensive abroad, and demand's soften. It's also important to consider, again, as the dollar increases and people continue to be confident in your economy, obviously design for that shifts. Interest rates, as we mentioned, gold pays no interest. Outside of leasing it to someone, as we mentioned before, you know, gold hasn't carried lucrative or attractive lease rates. Half a percent, you know, that doesn't make up for the SP. But again, what's really interesting is if you look at times where the SP 500 declined quite significantly, you know, the 2008 financial crisis, these different times, uh, gold went the other way. Um, so yes, you may get more in a single year with the SP 500, but as we look over time, gold has often been right there or has outperformed the SP 500 in the long term. Again, when interest rates are low or negative in real term, gold becomes much, much more attractive to people. Let's talk about inflation and fear. When people worry about their purchasing power of their savings, whether from inflation or economic uncertainty, they move money into gold as a hedge. As I mentioned, gold is considered a safe-haven asset. What people look to when there's uncertainty, not only around the dollar, but also what's happening globally. Obviously, we've already talked a little bit about central bank buying, again, from China, Russia, India buying gold and silver at unprecedented rates. Of course, that raises the market. Obviously, we've talked a little bit about geopolitical events already, but again, that same idea happens. If there's uncertainty or fear, we don't know what's coming. A lot of people prefer their uh their cash and their equipment to be to be in something that's a little bit more safe. And lastly, as I mentioned, is supply constraints. Gold mine production has been flat for nearly a decade. New discoveries are rare and take 10 to 20 years to bring to production. Supply growth cannot respond quickly to these price signals. Lastly, I want to talk about the gold to silver ratio. Uh, what this tells us historically, you know, gold and silver has trended to be quite far apart. It didn't always start that way. Uh the historical meaning is 80 to 1 as it relates to the price of gold or silver to gold. In January that went to 15 to 1 and today is at 60 to 1. The ratio is simply how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Um, as I said, that January 29th spike took a ratio to extraordinary 15 to 1, meaning silver was dramatically outperforming the said part of that squeeze. Um shit. Oh, sorry, do you want me to come back to it? Yeah. Yeah, I got you. No worries. No worries. I'm gonna take this time to talk about something I think is really funny. Thank you. This village is crazy. You guys are living in a paradise. Um I'm I'm I'm jealous. It's all the bubble. It's about all the golf you guys get to play, and yeah, it's amazing. I said to a friend recently, I said it reminds me of game of college, except instead of walking a mile to my class that I hate, I'm just taking a golf cart to a class that I love. And it's uh it's pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing. And guys, something that uh we're doing here at Peam Townself, we're pretty excited about. Uh of course, we've got Justin and Jeff uh here with us, local representatives, uh, but we are looking at having a physical storefront here in the villages in the next couple of days. That's something we're focused on. And guys, uh as we mentioned, obviously, especially as demand and supply shift and things get pretty interesting. Um, one of the benefits of what we're doing here in the villages is we want to have not only the bank but also a cafe attached to it. So you come in, hang out, you know, bring your friends, talk about whatever, and then right next door, there'll be a golden solder bank. Come in, exchange, buy and sell, and uh yeah, you won't be calling up the LBMA and asking where your golden solver is, we all know exactly where it is. Either in that building or one of the largest and most protective depositories in the country. Perfect. Awesome. Um it's important to understand uh what has happened uh in the last year, in the last three years, even in the last month, uh, is not necessarily new. Obviously, sharp rallies and pressure levels are not new. Each episode has its own causes and its own eventual resolution. Obviously, we saw high inflation, uranium revolution, the 80s, and um that was obviously a big mover, gold and silver. Between 2001 and 2011, especially you know, post-9-11 into the financial crisis, quantity using a weak dollar, we saw gold and silver start. Bull market, gold went from $250 to $1,900 in a decade. Silver from $4 to $49, and they're both corrected as the Fed. In 2021, we experienced another silver squeeze drawn by Reddit. Do you guys remember that when GameStop and AMC were flying out of nowhere? Uh well, we also had that with silver a little bit. It was a little bit of a squeeze, and again, that was all. And this is amazing to me. I I still can't get over this. The idea that a community of people can rally together and drive the price of something up just because they all agree that they'll be on the same page, not because of the fundamentals. I mean, guys, GameStop has been largely irrelevant in its business practice for years, years and years and years. Amazon took them off the market, but now all of a sudden, a bunch of a bunch of people with uh diamond hands, if anybody remembers that term, sat there, coordinated online, and all bought in at the same time. Again, we had a very similar thing happen in the silver market. Uh you know, this rally only lasted a few days again because all these people were coming into the market and then yet very quickly selling off when they have their profits. Um, it was, as I said, uh very short-lived, and it was typically traded in paper-silver versus physical delivery and such. And then where we are today, as I said, central banks, AI demand, Chinese export controls, the stress between paper and physical metals, and what's happening around. I think it's going to continue to be quite interesting. Unlike 2021, where all that demand was pushed by institutional or retail investors, uh, this is being largely driven by institutions and by demand in the technology and industrial sector. Lastly, just again, some observations, uh, keep in mind volatility is very, very real in this market. In Q1, as I said, we went from $67 to $118, which again is pretty extraordinary. Moves of 10% in a single day in both directions, which again kept me up at night in January. January was not a fun month. Uh, and anyone who, you know, you've got to consider the volatility involved. Um, you know, central banks have been buying at an unprecedented rate. This is four consecutive years at this point. Will that continue to happen? We do not know. But it's important to continue to monitor how those banks are buying. Uh, industrial demand is pretty structured at this point. Uh, I don't think, you know, solar AI, EVs, technology in general are going to stop anytime soon. So I think they'll always have demand exist for gold and solder in those capacities. And as I said, uh supply chains in this market will continue to get redrawn. Mexico can be the largest producer of silver from the mining perspective, uh, followed by Peru. It'll be interesting to see how things change geopolitically in those regions as well. So, where are we today in uh in April of 2026? As I mentioned just a few months ago, gold topped out at $5,400, something ahead of $56. Uh, that was gold's all-time high since then. Gold has dropped back and corrected, um, and it's but has held about $4,500 since January. So we did correct from that initial point. But guys, again, we were looking at $1,800 an ounce October 7th, 2023, when Israel was made by mass. That was two, three years ago. At $1,800 an ounce, and now we're at $4,500. We're at where we're at $4,700 and it's stable. Again, the record ETF inflows in 2025 with the World Gold Council. A lot of people are interested in gold and silver even if they're not purchasing a physical metal. And again, we're in the fifth year, fifth consecutive year, where we have a silver supply deficit. So, where does gold sound at the moment? Um, obviously, $4,700 is historically pretty extraordinary. The metals have held about $4,500 since late January, and we're hoping that will establish a full This is what the mum remains under year end consensus from major banks. Goldman sent um suggesting a price target of $4,900 to $5,400. J.D. Morgan with a price target of $5,050 and that's two $6,300, and that's the Bank of America, Commissioner Mullen of Member 9, Banking City, is at $5,000, and UBS has $6,200. Again, common price of $4,700 sitting at the moment of that. Simple when it's gone, Silver's recovered from its martial level of $67 to roughly $77 to then. The structural forces that remember the January squeeze remain fully in place. Yumbian May is 2026 and when December takes a full average at $79.50 an ounce, with city in Goldman having targets of $100 for the latter half of this year. Again, 2026, one might be six considering the year of silver supply deficit, and as I said, the more use of silver, more silver than it might be. Looking again towards what could impact pricing going forward, and then as they can push it back, we're looking at february cuts, one or two cuts projected for the member this year. The number of real yields reduce the opportunity cost of molding mold and silver. Again, as you can see, if there's lots less opportunity to make those yields in the market, so as such. Again, the silver incident projects won't again for shorter demand this year. Similar number demand and accelerating. Again, some of them have to be expected to triple by 2030, each panel, and E the demand to continue. And lastly, we do expect central bank to continue. Headwinds for gold and summary as it goes in the future. Random conflict in the same payment flows keep the number of strong numbers rates direct headwinds from the minus numbers. Rule rates are still eliminated, and the fund hasn't done yet. Some of the multiple 43% from P to trunk for eight weeks, another sharp correction is possible. And the same as we look at what's happening geopolitically, any major headline transitions would impact it in some. Again, we provide physical loans. We provide learning from that. That's what we do. We do these runs you see in front of you, all of them small when we are a Christian company. And yeah, that's what we do. We obviously have a secure storage program. So you know when the best um again, one of the biggest depositories in the nation, you know, is only or in your home, your members are always secure in the same. When you run an online purchase program, which means again if you're not going to be one lump sum or do you miss a time, you'll say able to purchase at a regular interval.

unknown 46:55

And you would obviously um have a memory electron problems.

SPEAKER_05 47:00

So it's a number and number number. Um, some more patients.

SPEAKER_04 48:19

So what I'm gonna speak about is working in talents. And I've um I've had a really strange life. I'm not that interested in gold and silver. So how can I start a golden silver committee? Well I'm good at it, so I'm good at being a donkey. We've just uh changed things a little bit now. And the way I work with a donkey is that the Lord says to me go right, I go right. And he says to me, go left, I go left. And that's what I do. So I first started, I'll tell you a little bit about my story, and I'll tell you how we got to Kingdom Talents. I first started hearing God speak to me when I was four years old. And when I was four years old, my parents had brought me up from the Catholic Church, and uh they do something called catechisms where the children learn about the church, and so I wanted to go, and they said I couldn't go because I wasn't five years old yet, and you had to be five or very good. So I said, God, that's not fair. I know all these stories, and he said clearly back to me, he said, Martin, you're going to be a preacher. So I got was called into ministry, I was at four years old. And the route that I took was I became a musician. And I loved music and I love classical music. And I said to my mother once, I said, Mom, I would like to play another. And she said, No, God has told me you're playing the clarinet. So I started practice in the clarinet. I was actually built to play the clarinet. My mouth, my fingers, everything was designed to play the clarinet. And so before I was 20 years old, um, I achieved all my life's ambitions. It's a bit early to finish all your life's ambitions. But what I wanted to do is I wanted to be an international service on the planet. So at age 13 and 15, I won lots of prizes in Nottingham, where Robin Hood lives. And uh I went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. And I want you to know how hard it is to get in there. It's not like somewhere easy to go to like Gabi or something like that, or Harvard, not harder than that. I'll give you an idea. The Royal Academy Music is the oldest conservatoire in England. Each year they take their intake on the target is six. Six, and to get those six they audition in London, New York, LA, Chicago, Tokyo, Beijing, all around the world. And six getting. So I went to study at the World Academy Music. And the Lord blessed me, I won all the prizes that I was able to win. I won Best Woodwing player, best wing player, best power. In fact, it had never been done in history. I then had an agent when I was about 19. I was one of the only students in the World Calorie Music Time Agent. I think it was an One. Troubled the World, played in Munich, Paris, Rome, most places. You know, Insuccessful has an emptiness in itself. You wonder why you did it. I did 28 world premiers in Go to Your Local Music Shop Buy Music that was composed from it, meant for Martin Powell. And that was my my life. And then at 20 years old, Lord appeared to me. And he appeared to me in a dream. And in the dream he said, he said, Martin, this is your last chance. You have to decide right now to either work for me or work for my enemy. So I think you can guess which which one I chose. So I chose to work for God. And one of the first things he got me to do is to lay down the clarinet, to stop laying it. One of the most hardest things I've had to do in my life. I cannot tell you how hard it was. I didn't get to where I was by not practicing. I used to practice six to twelve hours a day. I used to practice till I had the lead. They were going to do an operation on my teeth. They said they wanted to insure me for millions of dollars for the operation. I said, because there was a slim chance I wouldn't be able to play. And I said to them, don't worry, because if I can't play, I'm looking for their closest tool building. So it meant more than my life. It meant more than relationships. When you're successful in music, you know, relationships are very easy. Too easy. And if they get in the way of practice, they have to go. So clarinet was my God. And everything. Have you seen the the uh was it? In Austria where the sound of music was written in Salzburg. Yeah, in that square I played the Mozart clarinet from Church and that square. I played in the cathedral there. I played everywhere. And I've been asked to stop playing. And I thought about it for one week when I came back to the Lord. And this is what I said to him, can you guess? I said, no. I couldn't find it in myself. When I finished studying at the Royal Academy of Music, I carried on studying for a little while. And uh this is what I used to do for my clown at lesson. I started, I don't know if you've ever been to music lessons, but you get the uh get in the car, you drive, and uh I'd drive all the way across London. It would take me three hours. I would then drive another 120 miles up into the middle of England. I used to then take an aeroplane to Charles de Court. I'll then take a train to the Garden North. I'd have a two-hour down at this with a professor at the Paris Conservatoire, and then I'll come back. Lent more than anything to me. So I said no, I wouldn't let it down. But I'm willing for you to change my heart so that I'm able to. And two days later I realised I'd stopped I hadn't been practicing, which is actually impossible. And I started reading the Bible. And so I fell in love with reading the Bible. And all the discipline I had from classical music I put into the Bible. I've read the Bible uh 130, 40 times with most English translations. I would read, in fact, I the last few years I would I read the Bible once a month every month. I want to know what God thinks. What does anything think? So I had a new love. So after the Lord appeared to me and said it was my last chance, a lot of people think they can wait to the end of their lives and just say, okay, I'll give my life to you now. I didn't get that choice. I'm not saying you won't. People won't get it. I didn't get it. And I guess it's because I had some work to do. So from there, the Lord said to me, He said, I'm gonna give you the music shot. I said, how are you gonna how am I gonna do that? He said, do everything you can and I'll do the rest. And I think that's the secret of the loaves and the fishes. Do what you can and we'll do the rest. So I ended up buying a three-story building in central London with no money. And when I say no money, I was 25 years old at that point. When I say no money, I'm exaggerated. I had minus money. And so I had a bank lending all the money to buy this building. And the repayments were 30 times the amount of money I was getting in each month. And I thought I had a shortfall. So I said to this bank manager who I'd never ever met. So I'm only a business owner job. Said, how much do you want? $40,000. Said okay. So that's how I bought my first building. The bank then lent me the money to buy it, and then lent me the money to pay their money back with. So I started a business. Before I left England, I had a small chain of music stores from London, around London. I loved working for Jesus. I've never done anything else in my life. Never had a salary in Bahrain. Still waiting for my first salary at 63. Maybe one day I'll get him. But he's done really well for me. I was a pastor for 20 years in London. And when I became a Christian in 1984, every year the Lord said to me, He said, Martin, you're going to America. Martin, you're going to America. Martin, you're going to America. And at the end he started saying, Martin, you are in America now. Now you might not think I sound like one another. I'm actually an American in disguise. I became a citizen back in uh around 2016. So told me to go to America. So I came to America with my two children. One was four years old. And we've met the other one, David. He was eight years old. And I said, Lord, what do you want me to do? I've been a preacher. I preached on Sky Network throughout Europe. 850 million people. But I didn't preach much in America for some reason. So Lord, what do you want me to do? I write books. You'll find books over there. There's one about listening and how to listen to God's voice. There's another one about money matters. When I wrote the book Money Matters, the Lord said to me one day, he said, Martin, I want you to do me a favour. No, no, he didn't say it that way. He said, Martin, would you do me a favour? I said, Of course. What do you want me to do? He said, I want you to write a book. I said, okay, what's it on? And he said, my prosperity. He said, Do you want to write on prosperity, get rich and all that stuff? Not really my thing. He said, but you've already written most of it in preaching notes and Bible studies. Okay. So I wrote a book. It's called Money Matters in My Kingdom. But the Lord taught me a lot about money. Money's not a problem. The richest man in the world, does anybody know who that is? No, it's Jesus. It's all power and authority that's been given to Jesus. Money's our problem. He's got it all. What's the problem is is our heart. How we relate to money. Whether we want to be greedy or whether we want to be giving, how do we want to build? And the Lord gave me answers of prayer, I've had answers of prayer from a single pound to a strat of areas. I've had prayers answered from up to one and a half billion dollars. Money's just numbers. What's important is your heart. And this is what he says. He said, Beloved, I desire above all things that you prosper. And be in good health. Even as your soul prospers. It's all about the soul. And you want the soul to prosper. So I'm coming to America. I said, Lord, what do you want me to do? I said, I want you to make money. I said, okay. I've been in business 20 years? Pastor for 20 years. What do you want me to do? Make money. Next day. Lord, what do you want me to do? I want you to make money. Next week, Lloyd, what do you want me to do? I want you to make money. This went on for over a year. My savings were sort of going this way. And one day I said, Lord, what do you want me to do? He says, I want you to make money. I said, Lord, I know you want me to make money. You see the word for money in Hebrew is a word for cassette. Cassette doesn't mean pieces of paper. It means silver. The word in the New Testament, nine, is a word called Argoras. Argoran. What it means is silver. Every time you read the word nine in the Bible, you're not reading the pieces of any called electronics. You're reading. And I know you probably noticed that my son was making all these technical defenders and stuff. A lot of it's going over my head. The Lord tells me to do something, I just do it. So he told me to make mine. Now I realize it needs to make something. So I started with silver talent. So the one on the right is the first one we made. Every silver talent has the word Yeshua engraved into it. Which, as we know, gives us every gold coin picture online. It's got the name Yahweh to the hair on the name. You see, his name, his ointment poured forth. And I was asked, am I gonna charge memory teachers for these? And I said no. We're gonna charge bullion prices. Every one of these is three-dimensional, and they're stamped, and they are something that's very, very, very easy to sell because it's there's a quality to them. But in terms of bullion prices, they're below the silver eagles, below the gold eagles. We are selling up bullion prices, and the the manufacturing facility, the first time they saw them, they said to me, they said, these are magnificent. And I said to them, Yes, they needed to be for the King of Kings. These are talents. Talents are being made for the kingdom of heaven, for the kingdom of God. And I built the company based on a scripture uh which was Revelation 3.18. Revelation 3.18 says this, it says, I counsel you to buy gold company, refined the fire that you may be rich. I remember thinking, how on earth do I buy gold with head of God? Doesn't seem very easy. You know, as I said before, I'm not I'm gonna sell it, I'm a bit crazy. I've been to heaven a few times, but I've never seen a gold shop there. Maybe we can have one here in the villages, but I've not seen one in heaven. So I thought, but how can I buy gold with God? I counsel you to buy from the gold refining the fire that you made rich. You see, and this is the thing that is very special about silver and gold, it's not the same as other materials. It says in the book of Haggard, the silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord. It doesn't say that about other things. We know that everything belongs to him, but it particularly says something about him. So anyway, I after looking at it in Greek, I come up with an idea what to do. In Greek, the word to buy can mean to be in the marketplace. And I thought, well, I can do that. I know what to do. In Proverbs, it says, He who pities the poor lends to the Lord. And what he has given will be given back to him. So if I give gold and silver to the poor, and I'm lending to you, then you've got to give it back to me. That's how I started Kingdom Dance. I bought some gold and I started giving it to ministries. I gave it to orphanages, gave it to poor people. And I got a gold business back. I didn't have it when I was giving it away. I mentioned some to somebody in my church, I think gold wants me to sell gold businesses. He says, Oh, I'll have 40,000. And uh gentlemen next to me said, Oh, I'll have 30,000. Another gentleman said to me, Oh, I'll work for you for crazy criteria. I ended up on the conception to open the business. It took me two weeks. I didn't particularly want to do it. I like doing music. I've actually got a band the right side. It's called a head and send. And I played tacitly. And that's what I did. And then I started manufacturing the silver talents, and that's my son said we sold it to all around the world. To go to Australia, to go to Europe, to go to Canada, South America, because in each of those coins is more than just a letter. His name and anointing. I'm glad I got the microphone because I'm on a bit soft and spoken. I think that's an English straight. I must get my American side looking better. Speaking more louder. So that's how I started human talents. I started it by giving gold and software to the poor. And that's how we we built and that's how we grew. And I said to God once, I said, you know, God, your word there says that I cancel you to buy gold finding the fire that you may be rich. And I said, but I haven't had gold come out of heaven. This is just a gold business and gold designs and silver designs. I was being a little picky. And uh I was giving some gold to uh an orphanage, and I put the gold in the lady's hand. She turned around, she said, You're covered in gold dust. All of my jacket was covered in gold. All my tie was covered in gold. My trousers were covered in gold. She said, Martin is on your face. She says, inside your ears. That's really gonna happen. It's happened to me four times since. Once in Chicago, once in South Carolina, once in North Carolina. God hasn't hasn't got a problem with money. You just want kids that were kids. Be loving and kind. When my son David was in the womb you saw speaking earlier, I lay my hand on my wife's tongue and said, you know, God, bring it to fill him with us. I said, Lord, I would really like him to be intelligent and wise. But I would prefer him to be loving and kind. And I ended up with a loving, kind, intelligent, wise boy. But that's what he wants for us. He doesn't want us to be greedy. He wants us to grow. He wants us to be. I think this end these these years we're going through are gonna be difficult years. And that's where gold and silver comes into its own. It's real, it's precious. People always want it. This isn't a new fad. I think is it wonderful just to know how loved we are? He just loves each one of us. So David gave you all the technical stuff, and I gave you all the religious stuff. But that's what I'm interested in. So I think we're gonna go over some questions and things like that. Um I think there's also gonna be a draw for a silver talent that Justin's gonna be doing. So I'm gonna be around for a little while while we're finished because I've got to go after our lines. So um do feel free to go after me and ask questions.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:55

All right, I can't see it's on both sides. Okay. How are you guys doing? I hope you guys have gotten a lot out of today. And so um, what we wanted to do at the very end is on the way in, we gave everybody, uh, did everybody get one of these sheets to pull out. Does anybody still need one? And so what we wanted to do is we wanted to make um I'm gonna take this time just to get one or two questions that anybody would like to ask about what David was talking about earlier. Um, but also we just want to take a minute, what we're gonna do is after hearing Martin speak about the kingdom towns and then the one silver with the silver dump on it. Um, how many how many people want one of the kingdom towns? And so what we're gonna do is we're gonna fill out the form and just check the boxes as we go through. We go back and we reread these to kind of check and see how we did. But everybody just wants to kind of go through and check off a couple of these boxes. We're gonna collect these forms in a couple of minutes, and then we're just gonna mix them up and do a drum and write down those forms. Just pin some bags. 50 boxes in that band, you might just bring the back. I want to hold me a chunk, but we'll have the bank if anybody needs one. And then who has a question? Does anybody have a question?

SPEAKER_05 1:19:04

And this is an agenda. Um it's only one four dollars. And uh redeemable, probably directly with us in US dollars, and then redeemable at any restaurant and villages.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:33

So I'm an advisor of the I tell my clients to go invest in gold and silver because they're always looking for that safe investment, right? And so I have a lot of you know, clients both with markets are very high right now, and gold and silver is very high right now. And your speed kind of setup by silver, especially, will continue to keep going up, but continue push going towards that. What about gold as well as silver? I love what you think.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:02

Yeah, absolutely. I think silver is in its in its moment, it's in its bottom. It's the one the obstacles, right? Silver's having um unprecedented high time. But gold, it's been again, it's been a store value as they did for thousands of years. And gold oftentimes moved slower than silver. Silver has had a rate of volatility, it's typically a little bit higher than silver. So, what I love about gold is that gold feels very safe today. Right? We've got some pretty rapid appreciation in the last two years, but generally gold was not moving 50, 60, 100% in a single year before. Right? And so I think with gold, what I find interesting is again, gold is in every single one of your cell phones. It doesn't have the exact same uh industry technology demand that silver does, but I think gold uh is not going to be a little bit more understood by the general public. Um but also again, uh as someone I I'm personally a big fan of physical metal. There's something about holding five grand in your hand that just feels a little bit differently, you know, it is it is pretty amazing. Um, and as I said, you know, at high quantities and and high volumes of investment, it's a lot easier to store 50 grand of gold than this to sort of, you know, we can't solve it so that's that's where I think the place we always go in.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:20

Uh you were talking about the paper against your actual gold. So the people that hold the paper, when this when their contract's up, they have the option to take gold or money. You said they weren't paying, they couldn't complete the contract by paying cash.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:42

Absolutely. So I'll be a little bit more clear on that. So in those future contracts, there's an opportunity for you to take delivery of that metal itself. So typically when you're buying a contract, and again, I'll probably refer to financial advisor in the back for more specifics on this, but um you're buying the option, obviously, to buy that amount of gold at that price. So what was happening, uh, at least on the ComX side of things, is that people were actually calling for delivery. Because you know, people are buying and selling these contracts and not necessarily buying the underlying asset. Um, but suddenly and very quickly, people said, actually, we'll take the thousands or whatever it is of gold or silver. And suddenly Comex is like, we don't have enough. We've been overselling this product for years because nobody's ever called it. It's like the biggest game of bluff we've ever seen. That wasn't just in ComX, it was in it was in the LV play before. You know, as I said, in one week, 25% of it, I mean 26% of their bullets. Because, you know, it was cool. So I think I think what's interesting, and again, that's really why I love physical metal, is I know where it is all the time. I I know that it has my name on it, whether it's in my safer home or in a depository. I know that they can't just suddenly give that to someone else or suddenly decide we don't have enough to fulfill all of those obligations. So that's kind of what happened.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:06

Yeah, they were able to pay cash.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:09

So they were able to settle the contracts on a paper point of view. So yeah, they would have been able to exchange the contracts for cash, but they didn't have the gold to back up if they wanted to take delivery instead, which would again be the more uncommon thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:22

Paper has to stay paper, I mean, just like a security rate, I guess they have to buy and solvent and stuff. Absolutely. But there's also a benefit they have to be called.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:30

Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:30

Yeah, so they could pay down the cash, but they didn't have the gold to but they don't have to pay in paper if they want delivery, right? But it's just a option.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:42

Exactly. So that they if they want to deliver it, they could take it, but they didn't have enough metal to fulfill all the demand for delivery. Too bad. Unless the big buzzing, we want to hold them.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:57

So if I'm bad today, and next month I want to sell, do I sell it to?

SPEAKER_05 1:24:04

Awesome, because it's one of my favorite things about what we do. Again, we are a program manufacturer of our own product. So what that means is that at a point in time we have to make that product. We have to source the metal, we have to refine it, we have to mint it, we have to go through a series of costs to do so. So, for us on our side, you know, obviously we try to be very competitive with other types of gold and silver, mainly the American Eagle, we try to be very close to the American Eagle in our pricing. But the great part about what we do is we typically will pay more on the purchase side. So, again, if you wanted to start to this month, give me a call, give on our team a call. We would buy it from back right back from you, and we would be able to give you more than we would for an American Eagle or a Maker Leaf or some other product, because again, we can go and sell that same silver elms directly to another customer and we don't have to pay to manufacturer again.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:52

So wouldn't that but but wouldn't that be at a loss or a cost for the consumer?

SPEAKER_05 1:24:59

Correct, yeah. So when when gold and silver is sold back to you know a client or a broker or a dealer, because again, here's the great thing about gold and silver is you don't have to sell it to us, we're convenient. You can sell it anywhere. You can sell it here in the villages, you can sell it to a dealer or a broker in Canada, Dubai, wherever you want. Now, the of course, just like anything where you're you're selling it back to someone, oftentimes, depending on the market conditions, there may be a small percentage you would take. Again, we're not financial advisors, but I wouldn't be looking at this as a one, two, three-week hold. We look at precious metals as a long-term decision, and you know, from that perspective, yeah, depending on the condition of the market, typically you'll would have you would have appreciated enough to take any small pay on that side. But again, keep in mind it's all about the market, it's all about demand, it's all about supply. So there may be times when we're repaying you exactly you know 100% of that spot, and likewise maybe a little bit less, but we'll always be upfront and clear about that. And as I said, typically, especially for our own products, we will give the best price back because it makes sense to us. Again, even on some of our products, like our 10 pounds gold, we're gonna often very times be uh load at 100. Um, so again, it all depends on uh condition of the market. Um but as I said, we're always happy to do that.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:15

All right, maybe give one away?

SPEAKER_05 1:26:17

Yeah, let's give one away. But I've got one more question in the back.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:20

Not a question, but it's some of our clients do use us like a bank, a bank account, where they put their money into the silver, and when they want some dollars, they just call up. It's always it generally takes us the same day to liquidate the silver or gold. It's not a like a long-term selling process, and uh, you know, obviously, as the price has gone up, you receive more back. Now, if it goes down, you receive less.

SPEAKER_08 1:26:54

But um, not so I have one more question.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:02

I think there was um one of the reasons uh there was kind of a push on the market too, is that some regulations have come through also where they have to have, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but they have to have a specific amount of silver to ensure that they can back the notes that were in the yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:23

I I um I know what you're referring to, I'm not sure of the specifics of what the margin requirement wants to back those notes. Um I remember that being and it I think it could come in the infringement contract, but I can't remember exactly what uh would change, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:44

Well, it comes down on the still, what's the typical extended job of what the spot price is?

SPEAKER_05 1:27:49

Absolutely. So as I mentioned, it's all depending on the market. Um try to be uh we're gonna spend the range. It's also gonna depend on the type of product, right? So it's like Bring out a bar and sitting in a barn for a hundred years throughout the year. It's gonna be worth it silver, but it's not attractive for us personally like that. You know, I've seen both types of bars at 92%. Now again, on the opposite side, many of our products 96, 97, all the way up to 100%. And again, that's only a person. Um but again, any broker dealer in the country will give you a rate back.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:25

And as I said, uh yeah, that represents oftentimes terrible to then push onto the next supplier, and obviously with the manufacturing cost software. Oh, what is a discount? Beating around the bush. Okay, you don't you can't buy it back for stock. You give you gotta get stay in business, so you've got a discount.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:47

Absolutely. So sometimes we can buy it back for stock. And the reason being is because again, when we when we sell the metal to you, obviously you have the spot price, right? And then that spot price represents obviously water. So we have to then be able to take that and turn it into a physical file. So for example, IRAs, right? Um in order to have a metal in an IRA, it has to be compliant for an IRA. And to be compliant for an IRA, it has to be a particular type of form, it has to be a particular purity rate, there's some there's some regulations that we have to go through. And so, in order for that to be the case, we have to turn it from raw grain into something the US government says can exist in its accounts. So that process is what rec is what represents the margin we put on to the top of the product. Because that's gonna be the case on any product in this industry, regardless of who manufactures it. There's always gonna be a premium on top of that product. But again, it's always gonna be worth the internal note. And again, sometimes, like I said, because we don't have to then take on those manufacturing costs, we don't have to take as much of a margin when we buy it back. And again, if demand is really high, just like I mentioned earlier, and the lease times on silver at 8%, we can buy it back at 100 because again, there's crazy demands and there's less of. So something that makes a lot of sense. Okay, maybe the last question. Yeah, last question, and then we'll give one of these away.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:08

I believe Florida has approved using silver as currency. I don't know if that's just a brand new thing in the United States. That's really exciting. What does that look like? Like you can just take silver to purchase a car or you know, milk, or you know, does anybody know?

SPEAKER_05 1:30:30

So I mean you're trading with people. I would have to refer, you know, it's funny a good friend of mine that um does a lot of work for this administration, especially with with your governor, so I have to ask him what the specifics of that is. Um what I find particularly interesting is as I mentioned earlier, uh, currently, if you really wanted to, you could take a silver piece that's been minted by the US government and use it as currency. You'd never do that for a long time. Now, would not recommend that. Um especially like you know, I I can't walk into four rivers with American eagle uh because they're gonna look at me like I'm crazy. Half of these companies don't accept cash at this point, right? So it's all gonna be up to the private business itself on whether it will accept the model or not. My hope uh again is that as regulation changes, both here in Southern Florida, say North Carolina and Federal, um, that using precious metals in those ways will be easier. Uh but again, uh, it's my understanding, like with it is with credit cards and cash that's gonna be determined by the um the you know the company more than this the government. Uh but yeah, it'll be exciting. And again, Florida's just one state. Uh big revolution in Texas happening right now as it relates to how golden server is seen and how it's used as currency set. Absolutely. Well guys, we've got we've got some silver giveaway.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:40

Yeah, and we have one more question. You may not, when I answer this question, and rather than ask the question, I'll give you a scenario. I buy fifty thousand dollars worth of silver. A year later, it's worth a hundred thousand dollars. I sell it. How much does the government tax me on the fifty thousand dollar game?

SPEAKER_05 1:32:17

Yes, so I'm I'm gonna be very clear. Uh I do not feel uh licensed or uh or educated enough to give you a specific answer.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:27

And it's a complicated answer. It's complicated. Because I think it's not like stocks. If you die, I'm worried about people that are older, and you pass away, and you have stocks, and they're worth $50,000, and you die, and you make a hundred, you make a fifty thousand dollar gain, those stocks are upgraded to that value. So you give them to your grandkids and do all that, no tax. I have a feeling that if you have gold or silver, and that happens to you, you owe $50,000 on it. Now, there may be something that I may have read, that's what I'm trying to get clear on. That they'll allow $10,000 to go through without it. So probably this is not a question for you guys.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:29

They don't track it back to the purchase. Upon death, it goes to your assets via your will or your trust, and it is a CPA question, but your advisor can also help with that. But it is a CPA question. So it's a pretty much question.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:40

Pardon me?

SPEAKER_08 1:33:40

It's a CPA question.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:41

No, no, I I I I realized that I want to answer, but I just thought there'd be an easy answer. There isn't an easy answer. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:50

Okay, so I think it's one of those where uh I'm really curious about it.

unknown 1:33:56

She's got an answer for that. I own CPA. Oh, okay. So you can federal credit models, we own it less than a year.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:04

The tax rate is 28% per federal. If you leave it to somebody, they get a step up and basis.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:27

Similar to how you do it so there you go.

SPEAKER_09 1:34:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:35

Um I'm really, really pleased to have some updating for you today. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:40

You know, we're gonna stick around for a if there are any more questions, we're kind of out of time in this second.
