One of the questions I had to ask you was, why did it do that?
26:34
Yeah.
26:34
Well, it's interesting, Gary, to see where gold and silver are at at this point.
26:39
They have had a huge, huge increase.
26:42
And gold and silver are money.
26:44
They're the actual real definition of money.
26:46
It's a store of value.
25:12
And so Michael, tell us again.
25:13
Yeah.
25:19
... one of the questions I had to ask you was why did it do that?
25:22
Yeah.
25:23
Well, it's interesting, uh, Gary, to see where, where, uh, gold and silver are at at this point.
25:27
Um, they, they have had a huge, uh, huge increase.
25:31
And gold and silver are money.
25:32
They're the actual, like, real definition of money.
25:40
That was really good.
25:41
That's very important to separate ourselves from our competition, and to eliminate the fear factor that our clients are tempted to deal with.
26:21
... one of the questions I had to ask you was why did it do that?
26:24
Yeah.
26:25

And gold and silver are money.
26:35
They're the actual, like, real definition of money.
4:17
Yeah.
4:18
That's sort of the cornerstone, and it's been that way for 30 years.
4:20
Before that, they had more gold, maybe since the '70s, but for 30 years it's been the dollar and US treasuries.
4:26
As of last year, as of 2025, for the first time, they now have more gold than US treasuries.
4:31
They're actually dumping the dollar.
4:33
So central banks around the world, you're talking about Turkey, China, you know, Argentina, different places, they're dumping the dollar and, and buying gold.
4:41
And so all this demand is driving up the price of gold, and they're hoarding gold.
5:33
