They Just Sold Gold - Here is Why That Should Scare You
890 segments
The world's central banks just filled
out a confidential survey about what
they're going to do with their money and
what they said should make every
American investor sit up and pay
attention. Because while we get the
talking heads on TV and they're telling
you, you know, gold is done, the trade
is over. Sell now, move on. The people
who actually manage trillions of dollars
in national wealth, guess what? They did
the exact opposite. They bought more
gold. And here's what gets me. This
survey is publicly available. I read it
over breakfast this morning and I
thought I'd come for a little stroll
here in um one of the most beautiful
parks in the world in this amazing city.
You can probably guess where I am. And
yes, anybody can read it, but the
mainstream financial media, they're
barely covering it. So, Wall Street
sends research on this and I've also
read all of that this morning to their
hedge fund clients and they charge tens
of thousands or hundreds of thousands of
dollars for the service, but they don't
send it to you, right? And I believe you
deserve to see it, too. So, today I'm
going to break this whole thing down for
you as we're um standing here in Gloria
Central Park. You don't need a finance
degree for this. I'm going to give you
three simple frameworks. Think of them
like a cheat sheet so you can understand
what's actually happening with gold and
more importantly what you should do or
think about doing with your money. If
you're wondering who the heck this is,
my name is Felix. Um, I am dedicated to
helping regular investors, which is why
I am nowadays to access the same
insights and the same intelligence and
the same strategies central bankers
have, the hedge fund managers have, the
Wall Street guys have. And I'm not a
gold buck. I'm also not here to scare
you into buying gold. I'm here to show
you what the data actually says straight
from the world's central banks
themselves and hand you a framework so
you can make your own informed decision.
Now, the video here is going to be
fairly dense. Um, what I'll do when I
get back to my hotel room and sit down
and have a bit more clarity of what I
can say, I'm going to put together a
bonus research report with everything
that's important there. You can download
that for free at felixfriends.org/ or
gold2026. I think that's that's a good
link for it. Gold 20226. And the links
in the description. It's completely
free. It'll have every bit of statistic
and we'll walk you through all the
implication steps I'm going to run you
through here. So here's our road map for
what I'm planning to talk to you about
in the next 15 20 minutes. First, the
elephant in the room. Gold just dropped
hard from its highs, right? So if the
central banks love gold so much, why did
the price fall? We're wondering now,
right? I'll show you a simple framework
I call smart money versus yeah, dumb
money. And that explains exactly what
happened and why this correction
actually strengthens the case for gold.
Second, the 1,000 ton phenomenon. And
that's the big story nobody's covering
here. Central banks have been hoovering
up gold at a pace we've never seen. And
I'm going to tell you why they're buying
it and why that why it has shifted in a
way that should concern everybody
invested in the US. And then third, the
dollar crisis. US government pays more
in interest on debt than it spends on
its military. I want to explain that in
English and explain why this traps the
Federal Reserve and creates what might
be honestly the best environment for
gold in decades. And then as a little
bonus here, fourth, um I'll talk to you
about the vault story because that's
something that almost nobody
understands. And then of course we'll
focus on what this actually means for
your money, how you can make better
decisions. I'll give you a proper
framework here if I can remember half of
the stuff I'm planning to talk to you
about. So gold dropped about 20% from
its highs, right? It's a big number. If
you own gold, that probably hurt. You
might have bought it near the top. Most
retail investors do buy things near the
top. So what actually happened? Because
this is where the story gets a bit
twisted and people get this completely
wrong. So let me give you an analogy.
Imagine there's a house in a good
neighborhood, solid foundation, great
location, and it's genuinely worth about
$500,000.
The value is real. Now, some flippers
come in, they start bidding it up, and
now it's worth $600,000. Eventually,
somebody pays $700,000 for the same
house. Now, did the house get better?
Nope. Still the same house. They're
paying $700,000 because they think
someone else will pay $750,000 tomorrow.
That's speculation. It's momentum. And
that's exactly what happened with gold.
Late last year and into early this year,
gold was surging. And when something
goes up, two very different types of
buyers show up. The first type is what I
call structural buyers. These are
central banks. They buy gold based on
policy. Their job is to protect wealth.
They don't care if gold went up
yesterday or down yesterday. They just
buy anywhere. And then and those guys
are the foundation, right? They're the
real value guys. The second type is what
I call momentum buyers. Hedge fund,
retail traders, people who heard gold
was going up and thought, I want in on
this. They're not buying because they
studied the fundamentals. They're buying
because the price is moving and they
don't want to miss out. They are the
noise. They're the FOMO or they are
actually quite sophisticated investors
who just flip in and out of stuff and
they don't really care what they own.
All right, found a spot to sit down.
It's a bit more comfortable. Uh, as I
realized, I'm gonna I'm going to be
rambling on here for a while. So, the
momentum crowd got excited, prices got a
bit stretched, and then, as always
happens, the rubber band snapped back,
right? And then every headline in the
world screamed, "Gold crashes." And the
talking head says, "The trade's over."
But what they don't tell you is this.
The structural buyers, the central
banks, they never stop buying or for one
second. So, think about that. The house
is back to $500,000. The flippers are
gone, but the serious buyer, the one who
actually lives in the neighborhood, he's
still there. Still buying at a pace
we've never seen in history. And one
analyst I respect put this perfectly. He
wrote, "Central banks are the buyer of
first resort. Investors are the buyer of
last resort." And what that means is
this. Central banks buy proactively all
the time. Rain or shine. Investors, they
only pile in when they get worried or
when their price rallies really, really
quickly. Now the beautiful part is that
the next phase of this gold story won't
be driven by speculators chasing prices.
It'll be driven by investors who are
genuinely concerned about what's
happening in the world. And that kind of
buying that is much more durable, much
more powerful. So the framework number
one here and I want you to remember this
maybe take some notes. Whenever you see
a scary headline about gold falling, ask
yourself one simple question. Did the
structural bias stop? The answer is no.
The foundation is there. the noise left.
The real buyers are still there. And
that brings me to the real question. Why
are central banks buying so
aggressively? What do they know that we
don't know? Right? These are the guys
who print money. But before we get into
that in more detail, I want to pause for
a second and talk to you very frankly
because I know some of you are sitting
there thinking, "Okay, Felix, this is
interesting, but what do I actually do
with this?" Like specifically, what's
the move? And there's the thing. I've
already written out my plan. my exact
strategy for I'm positioning myself for
the rest of this year. It's written out.
I know exactly what I'm going to be
doing based on all of this data and what
I learned from my Wall Street mentors.
And what I want to do is give that to
you, share that with you, but not as a
document because it won't land and
guarantee it. I've tried it. You'll
download it, you'll skim it, and you'll
sit it'll sit on your your desktop next
to that PDF you saved, you know, 19
months ago and never opened. Uh we've
all been there. So instead, I want to do
an actual teaching session. I'm gonna
sit you down for two hours and walk you
through the exact process why I'm doing
what I'm doing, what the institutions
are doing, and how you can build your
own playbook for the next 90 days, for
the rest of 2026. Because that's really
what this is about. It's not about one
trade. It's not about having some
insider information. It's about having a
plan for what's coming over the next
quarter and the quarter after the after.
And there'll be two kinds of people
here. There'll be the people who learn
this and there'll be the people who wish
they'd learned about it, you know, six
months from. So, if you want to join me,
you can grab yourself a free seat at
90dayplaybook.org.
Links down below in the description.
It's completely free. No credit card
required, anything like that. It's just
a free teaching sessions. So, now let's
get into the data that changed
everything for me. And if you're going
to show up for yourself, just write show
up in the comments down below so I can
see it because it's really about you.
It's not about me, right? You got to sit
down, learn the actual skills, um, and
then you can enjoy, you know, places
like this. I mean, it's such an you see
that skyline back there. It's just
glorious. Absolutely amazing. I love
this city. Been here for too long. I'm
going to stick around for a little while
because it's just fun. And here's the
key headline from the survey that just
came out. 45% of central banks say they
plan to buy more gold in the next year.
That is the highest number in the
survey's history. So almost half the
world's central banks are saying we want
more gold. And to really appreciate how
dramatic this is, let me give you a
trend. Back in 2019, only 8% plan to buy
more gold. By 2022, it was 25%. Last
year, 43% of those central banks said,
"We're going to buy more gold." This
year, it is 45%. And they don't plan to
buy it. They've literally been putting
their money where their mouth is. For
four years straight, central banks have
bought over a thousand tons of gold per
year. And now those are the official
figures. And arguably, some countries
don't tell you everything that they're
buying. Gulf States, certain Asian
countries actually buying secretly more
than they're telling you about. But
these banks have literally doubled the
pace of their buying compared to the
previous decade. And they're telling us
we're going to buy even more. And what
blew my mind even more than numbers is
the why. So they literally asked these
banks, these central banks, you know,
like the Fed, why do you hold gold? Why?
Why is that important? And the number
one reason cited by 90% of them, so nine
out of 10 central banks in the world
said the following. They say gold's
performance during times of a crisis. So
think about that. These are the most
conservative money managers on the
planet. They're also the guys who can
just print money, by the way, which is
just a bizarre place to be. Their job
description is protect the nation's
wealth. And 90% of them, nine out of 10
of them are saying we hold gold because
when everything else falls apart, gold
also its value. Think about 2008, the
financial crisis. Market crashed, banks
failed, people lost their homes, gold
went up. Yeah. Co, the world shut down,
markets created, gold went up. Yeah,
Bitcoin went up more, but gold still
went up. And these central bankers have
studied every crisis in modern history,
and their conclusion is gold's the thing
you want to own when the world goes
haywire. But there was a shift this year
that I've never seen before in the
history of all the data. For the first
time ever, geopolitical instability
has overtaken inflation as the number
one concern for central banks. Let me
say that again. For years, inflation was
keeping these central bankers up at
night, right? They're sitting in their
wood panled rooms swigging cherry going,
"We're terribly worried about this." Um
because that's their main job. Keep
inflation under control. But this year,
it isn't inflation. It is geopolitical
risk, wars, sanctions, trade conflicts.
So 80% of these bankers, again, eight
out of 10 people in that wood panled
room now say political geopolitical
instability is a huge factor in their
decision-m more than inflation, more
than anything else. And that tells you
something about where we are in the
world right now, right? more conflicts,
more trade wars, countries sanctioning
each other every other Tuesday,
financial system being weaponized.
Central banks are looking at all this
and saying, "We need protection. We need
an asset that doesn't depend on anyone
else's promises, and we don't really
believe ours because we're probably just
going to print more money anyway." Well,
I'm making that last part up, but you
know what I mean. So, we need gold.
That's what they're saying. Now, here
was a part of the story that just
doesn't make the media, and it's
massive. The countries buying the most
gold are not the big Western economists.
It's the emerging markets. Countries
like India, Brazil, Poland, China, and
dozens of others. Half of all the
emerging market central banks are going
to buy more gold. Half. Why does that
matter? Because these are also the
fastest growing economies in the world.
These are the countries where the
growth's happening and they're all
saying the same thing. We don't fully
trust the Western I mean basically the
American financial system because let's
face it, that's what it is anymore.
We're building our own reserves. We're
buying gold. One central banker wrote
this very bluntly. He said something and
I'm paraphrasing here because I haven't
got the document in front of me. We
expect the share of reserves held in US
dollars to go down. So the US is
weaponizing a dollar through sanctions,
through tariffs, through trade
conflicts. And other countries are
saying, well, we're just going to hold
less dollars and what are we going to do
with our money? We're going to buy gold.
And the number of central banks who are
worried about a weaker dollar now just
doubled doubled in just one year. So,
let me try and put this all together so
it hopefully um makes some sense. So,
the second framework here is follow the
central banks if you're in gold, right?
Again, I'm not telling you what to buy.
I'm not a financial adviser. I'm just
sharing with you what I just read
because I think it's incredibly
important and giving you some color here
from the way Wall Street's interpreting
it. Central banks have bought a thousand
tons a year for four years straight.
More central banks are planning to buy
gold than ever before. And more of them
are worried about geopolitics and a
weaker dollar than ever before, which
are the reasons why they're buying that.
And that brings us to the third thing,
right? Are we are we on track in terms
of of what I was going to talk about
here? You can judge me on that in the
comments down below. And if this is just
a lot of information for you, this is
also completely fine. Just join me on
Saturday. Saturday will not be
information dense. Saturday will be
skills dense because I want to give you
something that you can take away that
you'll always have that will just help
you make better decisions forever after.
whether you're a gold bug, a silver bug,
a stock investor, or just all of the
above. And I might go and find myself
some shade so I don't um you know, come
back uh looking like like a lobster
here. But what really should concern
everybody, especially if you have
exposure to the US, who else a little
bit better? Um the US government is
spending more on its debt than on
anything else, like literally than
anything else. And we're talking about a
trillion dollars a year. Like really,
really insane. So the cost of every
aircraft carrier, every plane you see uh
you know every fighter jet, every
soldier around the world uh bases in I
think 150 countries uh and the interest
payment is greater than that and it's
growing. So people are worried about
interest rates going up, right? New Fed
share just came in. Well, if interest
rates rates go up a little bit, those
interest payments of the government,
they explode. We're talking about
hundreds of billions of dollars of
additional interest payments. And let me
give you a real world example of what
happens when a government debt get out
gets out of control. I'm talking talking
about some tin pod hut country. I'm
talking about um Great Britain. I mean
Britain. I think they lost the great a
while ago. I think it was auctioned off
to Americans. But in 2022, the UK had a
new prime minister called Liz Truss. and
you probably won't remember her for good
reasons, but she announced a budget that
spooked the bond market. And investors
looked at the numbers and said, "Wait,
we don't think the UK can handle this
debt level." So bond prices crashed,
interest rates went through the roof,
and Liz Truss, she was forced to resign
after 45 days on the job. So the bond
market essentially fired the prime
minister of Great Britain and then
auctioned off the Great Part. Now, 45
days. Imagine something like that
happening in the US. If the bond market
loses faith in America's ability to
manage its debt, interest rates will go
through the roof. And the math doesn't
work. The government can't raise taxes
enough or cut spending enough to fix it.
So, the Fed is trapped. The Fed is
powerless. They cannot let interest
rates rise significantly without causing
a crisis. And they know it. Wall Street
knows it. Central banks around the world
know it. And that's one of the reasons
everyone's buying gold. Now, you've
probably heard this before. They think
when interest rates go up, gold goes
down because gold doesn't pay interest,
right? So, that sounds logical. Well,
why own something if I can get five or
6% with no risk? But it's actually
wrong. And I'm going to explain it to
you in a way that's hopefully going to
land for you and tell me if it lands for
you. What actually matters for gold
isn't the interest rate you see on
television. It's something called the
real interest rate. And real just means
this, the interest rate minus inflation.
So think about it this way. If your
savings account pays you 3%. But
inflation is running at 5%. Are you
making money? No. Right? 3% - 5% is
minus2. You're losing 2% a year in real
power. It's a negative real rate. And
negative real rates are rocket fuel for
gold. Because when your money in the
bank is actually losing value, people
start looking for alternatives.
something that lasts, something that at
least holds its value. Something like,
yeah, the shiny stuff, gold. Right now,
inflation is through the roof just for
over 4%. And because the government
can't increase interest rates because it
would tank the bond market and it kick
the government out of power in about 45
days like it happened in the UK. We have
a perfect environment for gold in my
humble opinion. And that's exactly what
the world central bankers just told us.
Three out of four expect the US dollar's
share of global reserves to be lower.
Three out of four, 75%. That's a lot.
And they're making those plans
themselves. So, it's very likely to
happen because these are the guys
actually deciding that less dollars
typically means more gold. So, let's put
the whole picture together because it's
all one big puzzle. And at the moment,
the US dollar makes about At the moment,
the US dollar makes up about 42% of the
world's reserves. Gold's about 26%.
Hopefully, we can put some of these
numbers on the screen here for you so it
isn't just a overwhelm of data, but it's
also in the document you can download.
The the monkey currency known as the
euro is uh 16%. And everything else
filters in the rest. So gold is about a
quarter of global reserves and central
banks are telling us that the gap
between the dollar and gold is going to
close. Dollar down, gold up. And the
reasons are simple. One, the US debt
makes everybody worried. Two, the US
shown a willingness to weaponize the
dollar. Sanctions freezing assets. Look
at Russia. Three, trade wars and tariffs
make people nervous to be dependent on
just one financial system. And the US is
the financial system of the world. And
fourth, there simply isn't a great
alternative to current currency to
switch to, right? I mean, the euro, you
know, I love Italy, Portugal, and
Greece, but do I necessarily want them
in the same thing? And then you look at
the lunatic governments and say Germany
and France, and you also think, do I
want to own that thing? The Euro was
created to keep my lot because I'm
German. Um, to allow us to export more
because the Deutsch mark was incredibly
expensive. So, they thought, "How do we
lower the value of our currency without
people noticing?" Uh, let's let in uh
let's let in Greece. That was the whole
point. It's a complete pig's breakfast,
the way that's structured. Um, you have
the Chinese currency, but it isn't
freely tradable. So, no one's going to
do that.
So, therefore, your only alternative is
really the thing that's been money for
5,000 years, which is gold, right? and
and one of the bankers, one of the
central bankers in that uh document
says, and this is a quote, "We want to
diversify away from the dollar, but
there aren't many alternatives. So,
we're buying the best alternative we
have, gold." So, that's your dollar
trap, and it's not going to get any
better, and Trump has already publicly
said he actually would like a weaker
dollar because it would help the US
export more, bring some industry back.
There's a lot to unpack here, right? And
it's going to keep evolving. And I
totally get this isn't like intuitive.
If this is not something you were
taught, I'm very lucky. I got an
economics degree which helps a little
bit, but most of us w lucky. So, you
need to find a way to really like learn
how to manage your money better. And why
do I say that? Because inflation is
going to go up. It's the only way they
can handle the debt. And when inflation
goes up, your salary goes down, your
savings go down, your bonds go down, and
it sucks. So, what can we do about it?
Well, we can do a lot about it because
there'll be plenty of people who get
very, very rich in this particular cycle
of the market. There are plenty of
people who are going to invest in a way
that far exceeds what inflation's doing
and they're going to be sitting on their
yachts and their boats and flying to
Nucket and having a lovely summer. And
you can participate in the same
strategies because they're actually not
complicated, right? There's an
assumption that, you know, the guys
working street sort of somewhere behind
me there, right? in that general
direction and those guys are smarter
than you. Well, you obviously haven't
met many of them. Um, I think the lowest
hanging fruit for making all of our
lives better is just to have better
skills around managing our money. And it
doesn't sound super sexy, but you know
what? It's better than working an extra
20 hours a week or an extra 5 years to
make your retirement stretch longer or
whatever. It is just better to make the
money you already have and put it to
work in a way that is more responsible,
in a way that gets you less draw downs.
in a way that means you're not down 20%
on gold because you bought at the very
top and it's natural. It's human. Um,
FOMO is a huge thing, but it is also
somewhat avoidable. And I believe I can
teach you that and I can teach you a ton
of that in just a two hours if you show
up for yourself on Saturday. And as I
said, if you do that, click on the link
below below and write show up in the
comments. But let me tell you one other
I think very important piece of the
puzzle here. People don't talk about
where is the world's gold stored. I mean
the physical stuff, not the fugazi stuff
of comx. Where are the gold bars
sitting? Because when a country says we
have gold reserves, that doesn't mean
there is a vault under their parliament
building full of gold bars. For most of
the world, for decades, the gold's been
stored in a handful of Western
countries. The Bank of England in London
had it. The Federal Reserve of New York
stole a lot of it. The Swiss National
Bank and the Bank for International
Settlement also in Swissiland. And these
were the world's safe deposit boxes.
Every country in the world trusts them.
Put your gold with us. It'll be safe.
We've got a perfect track record. But
something dramatic is happening right
now. And when I saw this data, honestly,
the hairs in the back of my neck stood
up because countries are moving their
gold home. In just the last year, almost
10% of all the central bank gold in the
world moved to new locations overseas.
That's like 10 times more than normally
happens. And the Swissy National Bank,
the preferred custodian of the world's
gold, their storage vault got cut in
half in a single year. And what's really
peculiar is um and there's a squirrel
behind me. Hang on. Can you see my
little squirrel friend? Can you see him?
Where is he? Hard to see, right? But
he's down there somewhere. Very cute.
Very wide little tummy. Anyway, we
interrupt this very important financial
education program for a squirrel. Um,
half of all the central banks in the
world refused to answer the question
where they keep their gold. They just
didn't tell anybody. Isn't that weird?
So, when people don't tell you where
their money is, it tells you something.
They're being deliberately
secretive, right? And to understand that
when Russia invaded Ukraine, the world
was horrified. and Western allies
decided to hit Russia where it hurts,
not with bombs, but with money. And the
US and its allies froze about $300
billion dollars of Russian central bank
reserves. They just locked it up. Russia
could no longer access it. Now, every
central banker in the world watched that
and I guarantee you every single one of
them had a meeting the next morning and
said, "If the US can freeze Russian
assets, they could freeze mine." So
suddenly storing your gold in London or
New York or Swissiland doesn't feel so
good anymore, right? So where you going
to put it? In your basement, aren't you?
Because they can't freeze that. It's now
yours. Nobody can touch it. Well, unless
they invade you. Um, so this isn't about
investment returns. It's about
sovereignty, national security, control
over your assets. So what does it all
mean for you? You know, just normal
investor like wanting to retire a little
earlier, wanting to have a bit of a
better life. It means we're moving into
a different kind of a world. We're
moving into a world where there isn't
one global financial system that
everybody trusts. We're heading towards
competing financial blocks. The US and
its allies or its um vassel states,
think the United Kingdom. Sorry guys, I
keep making a joke. I love you. But it's
actually quite true if you look into it.
There is China, there is India, there is
Russia and you know other places. And
what's the one asset these guys are all
buying because they all distrust each
other that has value in every country in
every system in every currency that
can't be frozen by any government or
central bank? Yeah, you got it. Put it
in the comments down below. It is gold,
right? There's no counterparty risk. It
doesn't depend on the US being nice to
you. It doesn't depend on your
relationship with uh you know the
socialist republics of Europe. It's just
gold. It's just physical. It's real.
It's yours. And that's why people buy
it. And that's why a lot of in
individual gold investors that I meet,
that's why they buy it, not even as an
investment, just as a sort of uh
insurance policy, right? So the world's
most conservative money managers, the
people whose job it is to protect the
country's wealth, they're saying to you
what they're going to be doing. But
there is an elephant in the room and
it's called AI because every analyst on
Wall Street has to have AI exposure.
Every fund manager is talking about, you
know, the the hottest investment story
of the year. But there is something that
should make you pause. Every generation
has one of these you can't lose in this
stories, you must be in this stories and
they follow a very similar pattern. In
the 1800s, it was railroads.
Revolutionary technology that formed
America. Most railroad companies went
bankrupt. Now, who made real money out
of this? Well, JP Morgan because they
bought the rail assets for pennies on
the dollar. In 2000, it was the
internet. Everybody knew the internet
could change everything. And they were
right. It did, right? We would not be
here today. But investors who bought the
NASDAQ peak, well, the Nasdaq dropped
78%. It took 15 years to go back to
break even. Real technology each time,
investment returns, not so real. Because
there is a difference between the
technology would change the world and
the stock is a good price. I'm not
saying AI is going to crash tomorrow.
What I'm saying is stock valuations
right now at levels we have only seen a
handful of times over the last 100
years. They're paying prices that
historically ended badly. And a lot of
the AI stuff is being done with debt,
right? Companies are borrowing billions
and billions and billions and they're
hoping it's going to pay off. Now, the
central banks also said one more thing
that doesn't make the media. 80% of them
said they have no plans to increase
their stock exposure. So, these guys are
not buying stocks. They're not buying AI
stocks. They're buying gold. Now, does
that mean gold's going to go up by, you
know, 100% next month? No, it doesn't.
There are a bunch of factors here. Yes,
there's fundamental demand from the
central banks, but there are also our
friends, our hedge fund traders, our
comx traders and so on who will
ultimately control
the short-term or even the medium-term
gold price and silver price and so on
because that's just how the world works.
So, I'm not telling you to dump
everything and buy gold. I'm not telling
you to do anything at all. Be incredibly
irresponsible. Uh, your situation is
also different from a central bank
because they could just print more
money. I just want to give you a simple
framework to think this through. So, why
would you own gold? That's something
you're going to want to answer. Again,
the document down below will help you
answer that. And then you want to choose
how you own it. There are three options.
There's physical, the ETFs, the gold
miners, and then we made a lot of money
out of the gold miners last year from
about April onwards. Just look at the
charts. And then from about August
onwards, we made a lot of money on gold.
It was beautiful. But we sold the gold
miners, right? because we made money and
then the money left the building and we
left the building with the money. And
then three, think about what are you
protecting against? If you're worried
about the dollar losing value, if you're
worried about a stock crash, if you're
worried about just the world, you're
buying this as insurance, but do you
need it to live? I mean, do you need to
sell some of it? Do you how liquid do
you need to be? What's your time
horizon? That sort of thing. That's
very, very important. And then you got
to decide on an allocation, right?
Traditional portfolio theory is 5 to 10%
in gold. Some people are now apping that
number. So if you have zero exposure to
gold, it might be something to look at.
But it is a very very long-term asset.
It is something that could underperform
the market for years and years and years
because it doesn't have earnings. It
doesn't invent chips. It doesn't do
anything exciting really that catches
the headlines until Wall Street money
decides that they actually want to buy
it, which is typically the moment when I
like to buy these things. At least
they're miners. So we learned a
framework yesterday as a day, right? The
correction was noise. the speculators
left the building, the structural demand
is still there, but it still means gold
can go down and it sounds frustrating.
So, if you want to really really learn
that framework in a lot more detail so
you can make better decisions whether
you know I'm telling you what I'm
thinking that that day or or or not,
then join me on Saturday. We're going to
be doing a special session here in in in
New York just before I hop on a plane
because I think where we are right now,
people are so confused. I met some of
you as well this week and everyone's
just like, "Well, what do I do? The
world's changed. I'm confused. I need I
need a plan." So, let us give you a plan
on Saturday at at felixfriends.org/
sorry at 90dayplaybook.org.
Grab yourself a free ticket. I'm going
to enjoy this really glorious city. And
I must say, I think New York gets
maligned um very unfairly. I was
expecting um the city to be, you know,
piled up in trash and people who want to
kill you at every block. And it's the
exact opposite. It's true. It's
absolutely beautiful. People are lovely.
Um except for the half of people who
seem to need anger management. Uh but
that's also kind of amusing and it's
just amazing and the weather is glorious
and we're going to have a beautiful day
here in a beautiful few days here in New
York. Enjoy it. Eat lots of things, buy
stuff, you know, help pump up that
economy of yours. Apparently you need
it. and I wish you tremendous success
and I hope to see you on Saturday. If
I'm going to see you there, write, show
up in the comments. All the best. August
11th is the most dangerous day for the
stock market this year and most people
have no idea it's coming. Wall Street is
sharing this research with their clients

The video analyzes a confidential survey of the world's central banks, revealing an unprecedented and consistent trend of gold accumulation. The host, Felix, explains that while retail investors are often deterred by short-term price fluctuations caused by speculative 'momentum' traders, central banks act as 'structural' buyers who view gold as a long-term hedge against geopolitical instability, inflation, and the declining reliance on the US dollar. The video highlights how US government debt and the weaponization of the dollar are forcing global central banks to diversify their reserves, leading them to repatriate their physical gold holdings to avoid potential asset freezes. Finally, the host encourages viewers to move beyond impulsive trading and instead develop long-term financial frameworks to navigate this shifting economic landscape.
