“There is an Explosion in Gold Coming”

For 20 years, we’ve been analyzing market data, identifying patterns, and helping investors protect their purchasing power.

Today, we’re sharing something extraordinary. Since our founding in 2005, we’ve watched gold quietly outperform the S&P 500, delivering a remarkable 99.4% return. But what Alan and Mike’s latest research reveals is even more striking. As Mike puts it, “There’s an explosion in gold coming” – and the data suggests he’s right.

“There’s An Explosion in Gold Coming” — Mike Maloney

In this special anniversary analysis, Alan and Mike have uncovered a disturbing trend: money supply (M2) is growing at 6.2% annually – more than double the official inflation rate. The pressure building in the system isn’t just unprecedented; it’s unsustainable.

As legendary silver expert Dave Morgan observed, “80% of the move comes in the last 20% of the time.” This pattern, combined with our latest research, suggests the biggest gains in this gold and silver bull market are still ahead.

Revisiting History: The 2008-2011 Gold Bull Market

Gold’s journey from 2008 to 2011 tells a powerful story. Breaking $1,000 per ounce in March 2008, gold soared to a historic peak of $1,917.90 by August 2011. 

During the 2008 financial crisis, retail buyers faced severe bullion shortages, paying premiums up to 25% above spot price.

This intense physical demand, combined with economic turmoil and Fed intervention, drove gold up as high as 167% from its 2008 low, while the Dow Jones gained just 20.5% during that same span.

🚚 MASSIVE PHYSICAL GOLD DEMAND HITS COMEX
The CME Comex is witnessing an extraordinary phenomenon as January gold deliveries reach $5.2 billion – a volume typically seen only in major delivery months. This unexpected surge suggests investors are increasingly choosing physical metal over paper contracts.

In a historic policy shift, China is allowing major insurers to invest up to 1% of their assets in gold – potentially unleashing $27.4 billion into the market. This groundbreaking move comes as gold prices surge past $2,900, driven by Fed rate expectations and global uncertainty.
