Physical: Add up to $200 per oz.	For physical, add up to $16 per oz.	Are you still Paper Gold?

I must be very precise and assertive in my advice, as we've reached a point where certain banks (including ING) are trying to discredit me. Poor bankers who keep selling what I call "their shit". The greatest swindlers are the bankers.  Why, then, do they call those who tell the truth 'swindlers'? Are they afraid these may open their prey's eyes? I worked for several years in a bank and know everything about the shameless way they cheat account holders.  Most of the time, lower-level employees are so uninformed that they don't even realize what is happening.

Monday, August 24,  2026, to Friday, August 28, 2026:  Agriculturals are about to break out of a massive, extremely bullish wedge, and the coming bull run will end in the history books!

Today's Politicians are "monsters." The Stinking politicians need a scapegoat for the (hyper)inflation they created.  The best scapegoat has always been WARS and REVOLUTIONS. As usual, the idiot Herd doesn't see and doesn't realize what is happening.  At a time when Ceuta, Spain, is being invaded by mainly young black people coming from Africa,  Monsieur Sanchez, a socialist leader, is simply on vacation...What happens in Ceuta, Spain, is clearly not his problem. I am sure he wants Brussels to solve it!?

Whether the rulers are right or left, they have no choice; it's either print money or die. Over the coming years,
in the West, we are about to see a hyperinflation that will end up in the History books.

Japan sits in a debt trap at 240% debt-to-GDP versus 20% during the 1973 oil crisis that drove 30% inflation. US debt service has tripled since 2021 to $1.4 trillion, making debt unfundable once yields pass 5%. Other Western countries, France and Belgium, sit in the same debt shit. These kinds of situations always end in HIGHER TAXATION and MORE INFLATION.  

Governments will sacrifice their currencies to save markets with “as much as it takes” money printing, producing a 1921-22 Weimar-style outcome: a stock crash of at least 35% measured in depreciating marks, but at least 90% in gold.  This will end in a drama with physical gold and silver bullion as the only safe haven without counterparty risk. 

All this would be very difficult, if possible at all, had Nixon not ended the dollar's convertibility into gold (Real Money).  What few analysts realize is that the Central banks of most Western currencies carry a lot of "worthless fiat dollars" in their reserves. In other words, if the Dollar tanks, they follow in sequence.

Myth #18: A 2% Inflation Rate Is Optimal (Another widely sold myth.)

Central bankers, the mainstream media, most economists, and academia will tell you that 2% is the optimal inflation rate.  They never explain why, because most people never question these authority figures. They thoughtlessly accept this nonsensical concept as gospel.

Inflation is poisonous at any level.  Saying that money needs inflation to work is like saying a bucket needs a hole in it to work.  Think of it as a bucket that continuously leaks 2% of the water it carries—or a person who loses 2% of his blood every year. That is the kind of outcome the clowns at the Federal Reserve are trying to engineer for the money you are compelled to use.

But the real rate of currency debasement is much higher than the crooked and manipulated official government inflation statistics suggest.  The long-term average annual increase in the money supply is at least around 6.8%. At that rate, you would lose roughly half your purchasing power in just over 10 years. But remember, that is only the long-term average. In some years, currency debasement can be much worse—like during the COVID mass psychosis, when the money supply increased by more than 40% in months.

Despite the gaslighting and the arbitrary 2% target, inflation is poisonous and destructive at any level.

 +++

Interest rates will rise...this is mathematically 100% sure.  The tragedy is that so much noise is sold around this reality. So much that 95% of the Sheeple don't understand the reality that is about to happen. The tragedy is that 65% of the Sheeple are incompetent, don't have the IQ to assimilate this reality, and that they just do what the "barking dogs" order them to do. One can compare it to COVID-19. Are you also vaccinated? Did you also live with a mouth mask for weeks, thinking that it would protect you?

When debt is the size it has become today, interest rates only have one direction to go: UP and HIGHER.

P.s. The situation for most European countries is no better than in the USA. 

Our Real Estate Corner: 

•  There is little to add to what was published last week on Real Estate. The rule is that THE HERD doesn't understand the reality of the reasoning anyhow.

Monday, August 17,  2026, to Friday, August 21, 2026:  It is now or never to apply for a Panama passport!

Updated Sections: MOST SECTIONS ALL THE WAY TO Solar & Rare Elements + also check the updates
added to last week's update., Inflation Index, Agriculturals, Copper, Platinum, Non-Ferrous 
& shares, Bonds USA, Treasuries in the EU, Corporate Bonds, Commodities in Gold,

We are on the verge of a massive surge in most stock market indices.  Stocks will rise by 100%, 200%, and more. However, the currencies in which those stocks are denominated will crash to zero. As a result, your stocks and securities will also drop to zero. I know this is very hard, and maybe impossible, for most people to understand. Those who want to understand and preserve their savings must study what happened and what is happening in Venezuela, Lebanon, the Philippines...and check our Long Term Charts section.

For those who understand, it is important to keep their physical gold and silver "out of political reach" and go for a second passport now!  Your second passport is an INSURANCE against future Legal Government theft.  As usual, only some will go for it. This has been so for centuries.  Only those with a higher IQ level will do what must be done.  As always, those who are too greedy to go for it, will soon or later pay a much higher price.  When this happens, it will be too late to act, and they will have to pay what they never expected to pay. They call this KARMA. Worst-case scenario, they can take away permanent residency, while a second passport is the ultimate protection.

Governments, bankers, and financial institutions will do the impossible to ensure the Herd stays invested in local DIGITAL SECURITIES, REAL ESTATE, BANK ACCOUNTS...as this allows them to legally steal whatever they need, at whatever time.

This is the time for a second Panama passport. Those who are able to get one and don't take the steps are out of their mind. During the coming months and years, the West and especially the EU will make it harder and harder and try to make this impossible. 

Those who don't act now will be screwed...watch the video (disregard Bitcoin - it's worth nothing anyhow).  There's no doubt about the upcoming LEGAL THEFT by the EU. This is a serious matter. Very serious.

Our Real Estate Corner: 

•  The mortgage mistake everyone makes: they think hyperinflation will wipe out their debt and be safe. In reality, exactly the opposite happens!

•  A total myth: The Hidden Truth About Mortgages:

Consider a $500,000, 30-year mortgage at 6.8%. When the bank approves the mortgage, it does not take $500,000 from a vault—or transfer someone else’s savings directly to you. It creates a new loan on one side of its balance sheet and a corresponding deposit on the other.  In other words, it creates that $500,000 out of thin air… and then charges you interest on top of it.

At 6.8%, the monthly principal-and-interest payment is about $3,260. If you keep the mortgage for the full 30 years, you will repay about $1.17 million.

• $500,000 in principal
• About $673,000 in interest

The bank creates the mortgage by pressing a few keys on a keyboard. You must repay it—with interest that exceeds the original principal—using money earned through decades of work. Even the word "mortgage" is revealing. It comes from Old French and roughly translates to "death pledge"—from mort, meaning death, and gage, meaning pledge. That is an even more fitting description—especially with the arrival of 50-year mortgages.

• A total myth: Your House Is a Financial Asset

In the post-1971 era of fiat currency, many people treat real estate like a piggy bank. But a house functions poorly as a savings account. Real estate is illiquid. The structure itself deteriorates over time. It comes with substantial carrying costs, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. It is also vulnerable to natural disasters and is often purchased with large amounts of debt.

Real estate prices can also be influenced by interest rates, credit conditions, taxes, zoning laws, demographics, local employment, and countless other complex economic factors beyond the owner’s control.

That said, owning a debt-free home and having a secure place to live without depending on a landlord is an important financial goal. It can make you more resilient, eliminate rent payments, and reduce your long-term living expenses.

Owning property in a foreign country where you enjoy spending time can also provide useful international diversification and a potential escape hatch.

But from a financial-planning perspective,  it is important to recognize a house for what it really is: a long-lived consumer good.  For most people, it’s more practical to view real estate as something akin to a car or a washing machine.

There is nothing wrong with using real estate for its intended purpose: providing shelter. Just as there is nothing wrong with using a car for transportation. The problem arises when people treat consumer goods as savings accounts or investments.

Monday, August 10,  2026, to Friday, August 14, 2026: Have Gold and Silver initiated a fresh bull run?

After more than 20 years of no-fault service, the "Goldonomic.be"  site has been hacked.  Instead of spending time trying to recover the site, we started working on a new BILANGUAL site.  The new site will be a lot faster and look great. We apologize for the inconvenience.  In the mean time, subsribers of the Goldonomic.be site can ask for a username and password for the Goldonomic.com site and use the Firefox browser to translate the text.

Most of the time, when you listen to some financial movie star (examples are enough: Harry Dent, ...), their statements, their theories, their forecasts are so wild, so idiotic, that I don't understand how and why people even listen to these sicko's and even preach their visions.  Some even preach that physical gold and silver are "outdated " and will never, ever have any value again. They call people who hold physical gold and silver simple-minded for holding things they can't eat.  Other people keep dreaming that "bricks and stones" will save them, even though there are 1001 examples that they never do. On the contrary.

Most financial analysts fail to see the difference between today's fundamentals and those of 1929.  The Weimar hyperinflation, the 1929 Wall Street crash, and the depression that followed have completely different patterns. Weimar happened in a time of excessive money creation. 1929 happened when the Dollar was backed by real money or gold.  Today's context is similar to Weimar, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Argentina, Lebanon,... Therefore, we shall see no major stock market crash in the near future.  A severe correction is certainly possible.

People who DIVERSIFY do so because they have no clue what is going to happen in the future.
People who know and understand what is going to happen don't diversify: they do what one must do! 

Despite gold's price breakout above $4,200, investor positioning remains well below previous peaks, suggesting ample room for further accumulation.   As always, the HERD will go through the worst of the coming crisis without physical gold and silver.  Only 0.5% of the Herd is invested in physical gold and silver, and even less stores it out of political reach.  That is the way it has been for centuries. THE SHEEPLE NEVER LEARN...THEY REFUSE TO LEARN because they are too busy making Fiat money profits and don't see or refuse to see what happens in reality. It is correct that one day they all will be billionaires and have nothing.

“You can vote your way into socialism, but you must shoot your way out.”

If you’re exhausted by a world that seems to celebrate stupidity, you’re not alone.  And you’re not crazy. America and Europe are experiencing systemic collapse with the death of critical thinking and the rise of willful ignorance. Anti-intellectualism is on the rise.

IQ scores rose steadily for a century until the mid-1990s, when the trend quietly stalled and began reversing across the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands...etc.

Barbarians are invading the Western World (Rome).  The socialists and globalists want the West to accept defeat without a battle. In fact, many socialists here in the US and Europe are also muslims. Those reds are also bringing the green of Islam.  Is socialism the Trojan Horse for Islam, or is it vice versa?

Ignorant young voters don’t know socialism can’t work.  Perhaps they will be forced to learn that bitter lesson of history. It’s a lesson the impoverished citizens in Cuba and Venezuela have already learned. Another lesson is this:

“You can vote your way into socialism, but you must shoot your way out.”

Last and not least: I have publishid this so many times, but I have the impression people refuse to read and understand the follwowing statement:

Europe and the USA are playing exactly the same scemnario with Russia as the UK  was playing with Germany before World War 2. In the end, Hitler had no choice but to invade The Netherlands, Belgium and France.

Monday, August 3, 2026, through Friday, August 7, 2026: We expect a hike in the prime rate next month!

Updated Sections: Yen & Gold, 

The USA continues to sell WEAPONS to the EU, Turkey, and to every possible country.  Right now, the Industrial Military Complex is making a fortune. This will continue over the next few years as they are working on MORE WAR!  Check the COPPER, CRUDE OIL, Gold, and Silver charts for more. Bear in mind that many of these charts are showing EXPLOSIVE PATTERNS.  This suggests we may experience unpleasant things between NOW and the end of 2026.

Either the Western politicians are BRIBED into more weapon accumulation, or they are such fucking idiots that they don't understand, don't see how the world is manipulated right under their noses.  The rule, however, is that they must lie in order to stay in power.

Today's generation is a lost generation.  They are about to experience what happens when Sodom and Gomorrah are burning.  It looks like this will be necessary to tell their brains they are behaving like idiots.

The Fourth Turning, the Crisis, is a decisive era of institutional destruction and reconstruction, typically catalyzed by an existential threat — war, economic collapse, or civilizational rupture.  The old order is swept away; a new one is forged. The Great Depression and WWII. The Civil War. The American Revolution.  The invasion by 60.000 barbarians - what happened this week in Ceuta, Spain, is just the beginning of something worse! It is version V6.0 of the fall of the Roman Empire.

What is happening in Ceuta, Spain, is a warning for all, but especially for Europeans.  It is visible proof to all that the political rulers are a bunch of irresponsible, sick assholes. They don't care about the people; they lie as they breathe. The only thing these psychopaths are interested in is more money and power. They don't give a fuck about the people. Except that they see these as TAX COWS.

The following video presented by two friends of mine is a MUST WATCH!! Watch it all the way to the end. They know what they are talking about. Your banker doesn't and, by definition,  lies. Just like every dealer who is selling you PAPER Gold and PAPER Silver.

• Most real estate agents are nothing more than used-car merchants. You simply cannot trust them!

Important Fundamentals:

• China imported about 173 tonnes of gold in June, the highest monthly total since March 2024 and the third straight monthly increase, according to Bloomberg and Chinese customs data. As expected, most people don't grasp the severity of the current situation and prefer to keep complaining about prices that aren't soaring as they expected.  Available only to premium members.
• Something very important happened in the last week.  Available only to premium members.

 Significant Technicals:

• The Yen broke another support level and sits in a solid BEAR trend. Bear in mind that the YEN is a leader, a prophet showing what is about to happen in the future to the other currencies and economies.
• Please take the time to check on all charts below.  They clearly tell us what to expect over the next weeks and months. One picture tells 1,000 words. 
• I still see a unique (and probably last) opportunity to enter the precious metals sector. The charts in the relevant sections clearly show a “buy now”! In other words, prices will rise again in the coming days and weeks. Anyone who wants more “physical” gold and/or silver would be wise to act now! Only the uninformed and idiots buy “paper gold” and/or “paper silver.” In particular, note the ongoing correction of the Stock Market indexes.
