A Historic Gold Announcement Is About to Rock Wall Street

For months, sharp-eyed analysts have watched the quiet buildup behind the scenes. Now, the floodgates are set to open. The greatest investor of all time is about to validate what Garrett Goggin has been saying for months: Gold is entering a once-in-a-generation mania. Front-running Buffett has never been more urgent and four tiny miners could be your ticket to 100X gains.

Be ready before the historic gold move. Get Garrett’s Top Four picks now.

EDITOR'S NOTE

Your bank pays you 0.4% on your savings... while they quietly collect 29% returns for themselves.

BlackRock, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan have parked billions into what Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld calls "The 29% Account."

It's never been advertised to the public... but it's been available to everyday Americans for years.

Since 2000, it's turned $1,000 into a staggering $556,454.

THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE

Are the Banks Destroying Your Savings?

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. has a "strong dollar policy."

That's simply not true. And that's bad news for savers.

Just a day before Bessent's statement, President Trump himself said of the dollar's decline, "I think it's great."

The president has long been an advocate for a weak dollar, as it improves exports.

However, it destroys savings.

A weak dollar also means imports are more expensive, and since so much of what we buy comes from outside the U.S., that adds to inflation.

Oil, priced in dollars, typically rises with the fall of the dollar as well.

You can see on this chart that when the dollar started to decline rapidly in mid-January, oil prices took off.

When the Dollar Wilts... Oil Surges
 

The decline of the dollar is also one of the reasons gold and silver have gone parabolic. The U.S. dollar is down 12% since inauguration day last year.

Even if the dollar rebounds and doesn't deteriorate your savings, the banks will.

The Ultimate Passive Income Play

The #1 income play for 2025 is NOT a stock, bond or private company...

Rather, it's a little-known alternative investment that could hand you big monthly income from oil and gas.

Find Out What It Is Right Here

The average interest rate on a savings account is below 0.4%. The average money market account pays less than 0.6%, and the average one-year certificate of deposit will earn you a whopping 1.6%. Meanwhile, inflation is currently at 2.7%.

The takeaway is clear: Your savings accounts are destroying your buying power.

And with the president's determination to keep interest rates low, that's not likely to change anytime soon.

So what can savers do?

For one, you can buy some T-bills. Currently, 3- and 6-month bills are paying slightly more than 3.5%. But when the bills mature, you may have to reinvest at a lower rate if rates go down (as President Trump is pushing for).

Those who can take on a little more risk can buy quality dividend growth stocks. That way, they can get paid at least as much as T-bills, but with the very high chance that those payments will increase every year, which will actually grow your buying power.

Lastly, there's an investment that I love right now that has generated an average annual return of 29% for the last 25 years.

It's a conservative way to play the AI boom without investing in ultra-volatile stocks, unproven technologies, or any of the companies that have all that circular financing (where one invests in the other, which buys chips from the third, which owns a significant portion of the first).

None of that nonsense.

Just a company with a tremendous track record that was doing business decades before AI entered the mainstream.

Good investing,
