Welcome to the Real Money Show. My name is Jeremy Wiseman. I'm joined here by Jerry Coraya, who's just finishing off some text messages. Jerry, we've got so much to cover. I think it took longer to figure out what we're, how we're going to figure out what we're going to talk about today because there's too much to cover. But I wanted to start with where we are in the silver market right now because speaking to a lot of people who are thinking about getting involved in the market and what they've seen over the last year, as you know, we're recording today on Thursday, February 26th. But in the last year, silver's up 176 year over year percent. Gold's up 80% year over year. And what a lot of people look at is they say, oh, it's gone up a lot.

Time to take profit, whatever it is.

Why should I get in? It's gone up a lot. You know, just the, the observation that it's gone up a lot. And I find myself having a lot of conversations with people discussing that in the context of the last 50 years where silver was managed. And we're going to get into the end of monetization in the world and its effect on the precious metals market, especially when it comes to the demand from the US Side. Especially. But it's been, as Michael Oliver, you know, an analyst that we follow a lot. It's been in a box for 50 years. Yeah. And so it's out of the box. But we haven't hit price discovery mode yet.

No, no.

No one understands what the price of the metal is or what it should be. And just before we went on air, we were talking about they're trying to measure it in fiat currency when it's actually gold and silver. Are the measuring sticks wrong measuring. So we're not even at the paradigm shift yet of understanding the value of anything. Of course, even if you were to talk to a lot of Canadians, what's

the value of the Canadian dollar?
B (2:03)
I don't know, 135 against the U.S. it's. What's that worth? I don't know. It's two ships in the night tied to each other. We have no idea where we are. We're just connected somehow.

And the barometer is broken, the compass is broken. The inflation data that we get here in Canada, CPI reads two and a half. The US read two and a half. But if we go to using real world math of calc, calculating CPI from the 1970s according to the bank of Canada Museum. The average rate of inflation was 8% in the 70s. Imagine that, 8%. And then they magically, or I should say they did some alchemy, they took some substitute some products out of the CPI baskets to artificially get that number down to 2%.
