History may not repeat itself exactly, but it often rhymes — especially in the gold market.
There are some uncanny similarity between today’s gold market and the legendary 1970s bull run. When adjusted for scale, the patterns align almost perfectly, hinting that we could be on the brink of a powerful surge that outpaces anything we’ve seen before.
But there’s a crucial difference this time: gold is rising while currencies are losing value.
Mike and Alan dive deep into what this means for precious metals investors — and why this moment could be historic.
Why This Gold Bull Market Could Outperform the 1970s

Alan Hibbard uncovered a striking chart overlaying today’s gold price with the iconic 1970s rally — and the pattern lines up almost perfectly. If history continues to rhyme, we may be on the brink of a historic surge that sends gold soaring to $9,000 per ounce.
What’s different this time? Instead of a crash or bubble burst, we could see a full monetary system reset that keeps gold at unprecedented highs.

🏦 Fed Stands Pat on Rates (For Now)
At its July meeting, the Fed kept rates steady last week, despite political pressure for cuts. But here’s the interesting part: two Fed members broke ranks and voted to cut — first time we’ve seen that kind of dissent in decades. Translation? Rate cuts are likely coming soon, just not yet.
🧾 Trump’s Accusations Spark Jobs Debate
July’s jobs report was ugly — just 73,000 jobs added versus expectations. Plus, they revised May and June numbers down by 258,000 jobs. That’s not a rounding error, folks.
