Gold On Pace for Historic 91.5% Annual Return Through Q1 2025

Can you believe what we’re witnessing? Gold just SMASHED through the $3,000 barrier and kept running past $3,100 continuing what can only be described as a historic run. 

At 18.8% growth year-to-date, we’re experiencing gold’s strongest quarter since 1986 — when ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ hit theaters. Even more impressive: gold has already hit 18 record highs in 2025 alone.  

And here’s a truly mind-blowing thought: If gold maintains this Q1 momentum throughout the year, we’re looking at a potential 91.5% annualized gain for the year. 

Not bad for an asset many still dismiss as “just insurance,” right?  

It’s clear that economic uncertainty around the stock market, tariffs, and inflation are acting as a powerful catalyst for both gold and silver…  

While precious metals surge, Alan and Mike have identified a market indicator that’s flashing red, signaling the S&P 500 could see a major correction in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile the “Blood Indicator” is Signaling  
Major Stress for the S&P 500 

What exactly is the “Blood Indicator”? 

This rare indicator flashed before the devastating Dotcom crash… again before the 2008 Financial Crisis that wiped out trillions in wealth… and once more just before the Covid-19 market collapse. 

In short, it’s one of the most historically accurate warning signals preceding major market downturns — and now, according to Alan’s latest analysis, it’s signaling again. In his urgent new video, Alan shows Mike: 

  • Why today’s excessive household investment in equities could mean a decade or more of zero real returns 
  • How inflation is creating a dangerous illusion of market performance — turning what looks like “breaking even” into a significant loss 
  • The four potential scenarios that likely lie ahead… and the steps to protect and potentially grow your wealth in each one 

The historical pattern is clear: when the ‘Blood Indicator’ appears, smart money moves to safety. Will you be among them?

⚔️ Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs Confirmed
President Trump will announce new tariffs today at 4:00pm EST, including a 25% duty on auto imports. Treasury Secretary Bessent indicated these “reciprocal tariffs” represent a ceiling that could be lowered if countries meet administration demands.

While specific details remain unclear, sources suggest the plan may include approximately 20% duties on products from nearly all countries rather than targeting specific nations or goods. America’s trading partners aren’t taking these tariff threats lying down… 

🔒 Global Powers Push Back as Trade War Looms
In response to Trump’s tariff plans, China has begun restricting US investments, while Canada and Europe have warned of harsh retaliatory measures if targeted. This escalating trade tension is straining international relationships while simultaneously driving gold and silver prices higher.

Beyond trade tensions, other economic factors are also creating the perfect environment for precious metals…

⚠️ Gold’s Potential Triple Boost from U.S. Economic Headwinds
HSBC’s latest analysis reveals how three looming U.S. economic scenarios — recession, stagflation, and debt concerns — is currently creating the perfect storm for gold prices. Analysts note this uniquely “U.S.-driven” market environment may undermine traditional protective assets while strengthening gold’s position as an essential portfolio component during uncertain times.

This triple-threat of economic factors are all working in gold’s favor simultaneously, causing many major financial institutions to re-think their gold forecasts.

📈 Is $4,000 Gold “Just Around the Corner”? JPMorgan Thinks So 
Major financial institutions are increasingly bullish on gold as prices hit new records. Bank of America has raised its price target to $3,500 per ounce over the next 18 months, citing increased investments from China and central banks. Macquarie Group made a similar forecast, while JPMorgan analysts are now considering the possibility of $4,000 gold in 2025.

But while many are finally giving gold the attention it deserves, silver might present the better value at the moment.

📊 Gold-Silver Ratio Signals Historic Opportunity at 90:1
With gold making headlines, savvy investors are turning their attention to silver. The gold-silver ratio has reached an extreme level of 90:1, far above its historical average. Throughout market history, whenever this ratio has exceeded 70:1, silver has typically staged a significant comeback.

If you missed out on the gold rush, now might be the perfect time to invest in silver

The Hyperbubble: Is the Next Crash Already Unfolding?

Silver’s sharp rise this week may be more than a market move — it could be a signal. In his latest video, Mike Maloney, best known for predicting the 2008 financial crash, says today’s economy is flashing red across every major sector. And this time, the warning signs go far beyond real estate.  “Not a Bubble — a Hyperbubble”  According to Mike, the U.S. housing and credit markets have gone far past typical “bubble” territory.  “Do we have a housing bubble? No,” he says. “We’ve got a hyperbubble.”  Insider data shows homebuilders are selling off their own stock — a

Silver Squeeze 2025: The 45-Year Chart Pointing to Triple-Digit Prices

Mike Maloney believes we’re witnessing the most significant turning point in the silver market’s history — and his latest video, Understand the Silver Squeeze, reveals why.  From London to Tokyo, silver lease rates are skyrocketing — now higher than platinum’s — as bullion banks struggle to find metal to lend. “Nobody’s got silver,” one market insider told Mike. “Lease rates are 20 to 30 percent if you’re lucky enough to find a lender.”  That’s not normal. It’s a sign of deep, systemic stress. For the first time in decades, even the largest players are admitting that there’s “no free-floating silver

$50 Silver, $4,000 Gold: Here’s What Happens Next

Those who think they’ve “missed out” on gold are missing the point.  As Mike Maloney puts it: “If a ship goes down, those who paid more for their lifeboats aren’t any less happy than those who paid less.”  In his latest video, Mike describes what he calls the “lifeboat moment” for gold — a phase when physical demand surges, small bars vanish from the market, and ordinary investors rush to secure real metal before prices accelerate.  This isn’t a headline-driven pop. It’s a turning point.  The Small Gold Bar Shortage Has Begun  In Tokyo, Japan’s largest bullion dealer, Tanaka Kikinzoku,

Global Silver Shortage: Why the Physical Price Is Breaking Away From Paper

Few times in history has the silver market looked like this.  In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unpack an extraordinary squeeze that’s pushing the physical and paper markets in completely different directions — and it’s happening fast.  Lease Rates Explode: A Market Under Stress  Silver lease rates — the cost of borrowing silver for short trades — have rocketed to over 33%, a level almost never seen.  Under normal conditions, those rates hover near zero. A 33% spike signals something deeper: a market starved of liquidity.  For short sellers, this is a nightmare.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
