In this episode of Finance University, I sat down with Paul Kiker to dive into the complexities of the current financial landscape. We explored the unsettling realities of market manipulation, the potential for hyperinflation, and the importance of understanding historical financial patterns. As always, the goal is to decode, demystify, and have some fun while navigating these turbulent waters. One of the key takeaways is that the financial world is fraught with risks, and it’s crucial to be informed and prepared.
Market Manipulation and Corruption
Paul and I discussed the pervasive corruption in the financial system, highlighting how government spending and market manipulation can lead to distrust and volatility. The example of senators funneling money to personal interests and the misuse of funds, like the $17 million spent on a failed Muppet show, illustrates the depth of the issue. This kind of behavior erodes public trust and can have significant impacts on markets and individual financial decisions.
Gold and Hyperinflation
We delved into the historical context of hyperinflation, using Weimar Germany as a case study. The parallels between the past and present are striking, with gold prices reflecting similar patterns. While gold is nearing $3000 an ounce, the question remains whether it’s a good time to buy. The lesson from history is that while gold can be a safe haven, it is not immune to volatility, and understanding the long-term trajectory is essential.
Key Data
Gold is approaching $3000 an ounce, raising questions about its future trajectory.
Credit card debt has surged to $1.21 trillion, indicating increased financial strain on consumers.
Microsoft has formed a death cross for the first time in nearly a decade, signaling potential market downturns.
Predictions
Gold prices may continue to rise, potentially adding zeros to its current value if currency destruction occurs.
The market may experience significant volatility, with potential declines in major indices.
Implications
Increased market volatility could lead to significant financial losses for unprepared investors.
Rising gold prices may indicate broader economic instability and potential currency devaluation.
High credit card debt levels suggest financial stress among consumers, which could impact spending and economic growth.
Recommendations
Consider diversifying investments to include assets with intrinsic value, like gold, to hedge against market volatility.
Stay informed about market trends and historical financial patterns to make educated investment decisions.
Be cautious with credit card debt, especially given the high interest rates, to avoid financial strain.
I bought some platinum and silver last week and silver is down significant today so I’m planning to order some more… Am I wrong or too soon…? If recession will come how much lower silver could go…?

During Burgum’s hearing he stated that he viewed America’s public lands and waters as part of the country’s financial “balance sheet,” and advocated for extracting potentially trillions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals via mining and drilling.

Natural capital accounts = Balance Sheet = Private Property Control
PURE SOCIALISM
Only gives power to multinational corps. and remove your control over your land.
Remember the multinational corps have taken the place of Kings and Queens of old they cannot be seen as free market entities = specifically tied to socialism/communism owned by the “KING”
NOW PUTTING NATURE AND PRIVATE PROPERTY ON THE FEDERAL BALANCE SHEET - They are claiming to “own” your property for “debt purposes” and really full control return to kingship.

Regarding retail investment, my local dealer was low on both gold and silver on Tuesday afternoon and told me that many people had come in to buy the dip that morning. Since then, the dip has deepened. I wonder what it’s like now. There were still a few types of 1 oz coins available at 3% premium (5% for eagles) and a few tubes of 1 oz silver maple leafs.
Good discussion between Paul and Chris. A few thoughts about a scenario that I think you may not be considering.
Let’s say I’m a Deep State trillionaire that has been feasting off of central bank profits for the last 100 years. I love my reptilian overlords and above all else, I hate, no, I loath humanity. Here’s my plans and playbook:
Trump won’t let the market go down. Excellent. This is my principal target. I’ll absolutely destroy the global equity markets. 80% minimum market crash. Plan for a 90% crash but I’ll settle for 80%. Of course, in preparation to the crash I’ll make the price of gold and silver dirt cheap by manipulating the paper markets. I’ll make sure my billionaire buddies and my bankster friends are able to take delivery of thousands of tons before I allow for real price discovery and a price reset on gold and silver.
Trump / DOGE Government efficiency. Excellent as well. I’ll allow Trump to layoff a substantial part of the federal workforce during the Government shutdown of March/April 2025. Once this occurs and property values crater, I’ll instruct the algorithms to dump all equities. This will wipe out everyone’s 401Ks. So now, half of America is unemployed and I wiped out their retirement nest eggs. The little people sell all their stock index funds at the market lows.
Massive Deflation and unemployment. With high unemployment and a stock market crash, I now implement massive deflation to ensure the little people can’t pay their car loans, mortgage, and credit card bills. They are underwater on all assets they “own”. When things are at their worse, I’ll repossess everything. Homes, buildings, cars, all assets are now mine and a new golden age of neo-feudalism has dawned. All money has now flowed out of equities into bonds and treasury notes driving down cost of governments to borrow at record lows. The cost of long-term debt for my vassal governments is near zero, so I can keep them propped up while I raze humanity.
Inflation / Hyperinflation. Once I have taken everything, I will allow my central banks to print fiat to give everyone a very meager UBI. To receive a UBI I require CBDC and a minimum social credit score. I will have purchased all stocks at their lows, so I will own all of the global corporations as well and most all real estate in the former first-world. I’ll ensure inflation or hyperinflation will never allow the little people to own anything - they won’t be able to afford it. LOL.
So there you have it. The Great Reset plan to impoverish and humiliate you. It’s not enough that I impoverish you – I want to break your spirit…
Surely the main use case for bitcoin is to move wealth out of places like China. So these violent Bitcoin moves I assume indicate folks wanting to move wealth have sold and buyers will emerge for the next wealth transfer wave
Sadly, not at our local community college where I used to work before homeschooling our kids. I used to teach languages including ESL, and assist native-born students in English classes.
The DEI-hired president who came after I left (and her new DEI-hired senior admin – all previous leadership was fired, removed or left – already have all of the answers and don’t dare ask those with institutonal knowledge) has opted to move to 7-week classes (get 'em in, get 'em out) even though institutions who moved that direction have returned to a semester system (or quarterly depending on what they had before). Then, starting this fall, dear president decided that we should get rid of all development classes (ie below 100-level, offered to help students build their skills for expections in their 100+ -level classes), you know, to help the students along on their way of obtaining a degree. With some students already coming in at 3rd and 4th-grade reading levels, what could go wrong?
