“Locked & Loaded”: Trump Says US Will Intervene If Iran Kills Protesters

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-says-us-will-intervene-if-iran-kills-protesters-adding-fuel-irans-protest-fire

• 90 Million Americans Don’t Even Realize Yet They Just Got the Green Light to Buy Gold, Silver, Miners & Commodities In Their 401K’s. Wait Until They Do!

• A seismic shift is coming to the investment world. An executive order, signed by President Donald Trump on August 7, 2025, has quietly laid the groundwork for what could be the single greatest catalyst for precious metals and the miners in a generation.
• Starting in 2026, the floodgates will open for trillions of dollars in 401(k) retirement accounts to pour into alternative assets, including commodities like gold, silver, and the miners.

• For a sector as small as precious metals, this is not just a game-changer; it is a paradigm-altering event.

• For decades, the average American investor has been locked out of the assets that the wealthy and institutional players use to build and preserve real wealth.
• While pension funds and family offices have long allocated to hard assets like gold and silver, the 90 million Americans in 401(k) plans have been relegated to a narrow menu of stocks and bonds.
• This is all about to change. The executive order explicitly aims to “democratize access to alternative assets” for every American preparing for retirement. It directs the Secretary of Labor to relieve the “regulatory burdens and litigation risk” that have prevented 401(k) fiduciaries from offering these assets.

Section 3(a)(iv) is the key: it explicitly lists “direct and indirect investments in commodities” as a permissible alternative asset class.

The Wealth Gap This Order Aims to Close

To appreciate the significance of this order, one must understand the two-tiered system it aims to dismantle. For decades, a great wealth gap has been perpetuated by a simple reality: the rich and the average have access to different investments.

While public pension plans, university endowments, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals have long used gold, silver, and other real assets to generate inflation-proof returns, the average American with a 401(k) has been legally and structurally barred from doing the same due to structural and regulatory hurdles.

The public pension plans, university endowments, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals can more easily invest in a broader range of assets, 401(k)s have traditionally been limited to a narrower selection of investments. This is often due to concerns about liquidity, regulatory complexity, and potential liability for plan sponsors.

This executive order signed by President Trump explicitly calls this out, noting that the status quo has “denied millions of Americans opportunities to benefit from investment in alternative assets.”

It frames the move as a matter of fairness and democratization, giving the 90 million participants in defined-contribution plans the same tools as the most sophisticated institutional investors.

This isn’t just a new investment option; it’s the leveling of a playing field that has been tilted in favor of the wealthy for a generation.

So, Let’s Dig Into The Following:

• The trillion-dollar trickle that becomes a flood! “It is crystal clear, this administration wants some of that 401K money to find its way into commodities and that is exactly what is going to happen.”

• A catalyst meets an explosive backdrop. “Now, add to all of this perfect storm the single largest potential new source of demand in history: the American retirement account. The stage is set for an explosive 2026.”

• The leveraged play on this incoming tsunami of capital. “More importantly, the catalyst is not a wave of speculative hot money that can leave as quickly as it arrived. This will be a sustained, structural flow of retirement capital; sticky money that will provide a tailwind for years, not months.”

• The capital starvation the mining industry has experienced for 15+ years is coming to an end! “This executive order is the rain that ends the drought. The flood of capital from American retirement plans will not just bid up the price of existing shares; it will provide the mining industry with a source of growth capital it hasn’t seen in fifteen years.”

• Is the timing perfect and intentional? “The administration is reading the writing on the wall. They see the mathematical certainty of a debt spiral, the potential for a catastrophic policy error from the Federal Reserve, and the growing fragility of the entire fiat system. Not to mention the likelihood of a huge round of QE and much lower rates fueling fresh inflation and they are handing the American people a lifeboat, an escape-hatch.”…

Metals and Miners

Getting back to the person with the loose screw she doesn’t know where to put. Finished reading the other half of a scrambled puzzle she can’t match the pieces to. Not to waist too much time on it but does she know that Somalis have different tribes too. Like anyplace where you have better or worse neighborhoods. Apparently there’s too many coming from the bad neighborhoods or tribes.

No Shanghai fix that I can see, market closed?

Regardless, we’re nicely higher despite a stronger dollar.

PM shares stronger, moving along with the SM.

We’ll see if we can hold it all day as the volume dries up and the algo’s apply pressure.

Key support in silver is prior multi decade resistance as we know but since it didn’t test that resistance as of yet could be a sign of higher support  and ended above it. Here is a evaluation from a few known analysts for the end of the year.

I’m not orientated to the total definition of what constitutes hostility toward that tribe. However, when someone from another tribe plans and carries out mass murder of another tribe on that same core culture they share I think that would qualify as being Anti-semitic.

I’m not really sure who she is. I did Google her and am not much the wiser but she obviously thinks her opinions are worthy, but she was interviewed on The Raw Deal, which I’ve never heard of, and she seemed to think that it is important that she clarified some things that were said, or not said, about Israel which might have been misconstrued. It wasn’t what she thought that interested me, but her comment in the last paragraph, viz: “I am, however, Jewish. One third of my tribe resides in the state of Israel and roughly 50% reside in the US, the country of my birth”

My tribe.

Does that sound as though being American is more important to her than her tribal allegiance? As you may be aware, some Jews were shot at Bondi Beach a couple of weeks ago, and the reaction of her tribe was similar. “We are Australian Jews, and we demand more protection at synagogues and other Jewish tribal gatherings”. And the authorities responded, the state of New South Wales immediately allocating a further 350 police to patrol those areas. “Wooohooo” went all the criminals. Everybody is bending over backwards to be not anti-semitic. It is much more important to divert significant resources to protect one tribal group, a very small one, at the expense of the rest of the population and at the risk of being considered ‘anti-semitic’.

Anti-semitic. What does that mean?

Semitic : of, relating to, or constituting a subfamily of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, Maltese and Amharic.

So to be anti-semitic is to be against a language group? Anybody who calls someone anti-semitic truly has a screw loose.

Ok, ok, I know that a new meaning originated with a German whacko and it has been warped into meaning ….. what? It is used as the slightest provocation. It is a woke term, surviving the death of DEI, to be used by Jewish people or their supporters at anyone not supporting the …… what? The state of Israel? Zionism? Jews? Israelis? The elimination of Christians and Arabs on the West Bank, even though those Christians and Arabs are semites? And the shooters at Bondi were semites. How can the shooters be anti-themselves?

So you can see how that tribe has hijacked the narrative here. Just as during covid the definitions of words were changed to enable people to be cancelled, so has semite been mangled to enable the cancelling of, for example, Charlie Kirk. Permanently.

Tribal. Like Somalis. To be anti-corruption in Minnesota is to be racist, white supremacist. Those terms are really losing traction now.

Tribal. Like the Brits flying the Union Jack, or the English the George Cross. Racist and colonialists to the core.

Anti-semitic. A word that means whatever the tribe (and its supporters, and they are Legion) determines it means for any particular situation.

Oh plus where I bought and in all those years so never seen a warning in red that said  due to high demand delivery might be delayed. They’re usually fast 3 days so hopefully a delay is a normal time at other places  Theres crazy buying going on right now.

I usually don’t fall for Fomo but after watching AG last video and  giving out my  purchases monthly or more this year I decided to check out some silver maples 9999 and wanted to start buying copper  as I have added it a few times in the past 10 yrs and wanted to by larger quantities. Well check it out?!! They’re gone?! Even Apmex either holding or sold out. I could get the Maples at 73 as spot  price moving up not at Apmex though but no copper there either.  Fyi

COPPER SOLD OUT.

Nothing to sneeze at, better buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life. The Sh!t is hitting the fan. Better listen up and get prepared NOW!

Someone’s definitely taking advantage.

The S&P local lagged the Dow and Gold

• Gold Price: approximately $850 per ounce (a peak price reached in January 1980).
• Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA): approximately 875.85 on January 31, 1980.
• S&P 500: approximately 104.09 on January 31, 1980. 

Yep something to think about but who knows if they could be trading with some of the Brics in limited quantities and it could take advantage of the supply deficit. Meanwhile we have a printing press going and loss of billions with multi fraud going on in demo states. Not to mention in their presence of weakness during Biden war opportunities and money meant for citizens going to Ukraine and more fraud and theft of billions meant for our citizens going out the window.

A look back in time. What were the ratios in the stock markets during the inflation peak in1980 before they used interest rates which are generally bearish to the markets to bring down inflation. Also what was the physical ratio with the markets. Phyz vs the Stock Market Jan. 1980…

• Gold Price: Gold reached a nominal peak of $850 per ounce on January 21, 1980. The average price for the month was around $677 or $614.75, depending on the data source.
• XAU Index: The Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index (XAU) was established on January 19, 1979, with a base value of 100.00. Historical data suggests that around the time of the gold price peak, the ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to gold (a related metric) fell to a low of 1.29 ounces in January 1980. This indicates that the XAU index value itself was likely near the price of gold in dollar terms, leading to a ratio near 1.0. 

I see what you mean. I guess it will depend if there is still a Shanghai physical market trading. I would think that physical is always going to dictate the paper price. If there’s no physical market???

I don’t know.

I wonder with the further up coming shortages and less customers to Shanghai if it will eventually switch to the West for higher prices due to supply demand and no more China supply.

Captain – I think that’s right considering Trump will be replacing Powell in May. I don’t think this admin cares if gold goes up, it sort of falls in line with the revaluation/gold backed bonds scenario that has been rumored to take place in July according to Judy Shelton.

We can never forget that Scott Bessent’s largest holding is gold. It seems to me this admin is all about making money for themselves.

Maya – really cool pic

Looks like we’re off to a solid start on day 1 of 2026. Hopefully Shanghai’s am fix moves higher in silver.

Here’s to a profitable, fun, and no doubt entertaining year in precious metals.
Market opens in 1 hour.

I forgot to post Wanka’s Christmas tree earlier!

I know what you mean. As far as I’m concerned I would want to initiate Roosevelt’s operation wet back  and send them all packing back to Somalia except for the ones who came on their own accord and follow the law not get caught up with them. With the overwhelming amount of criminal corruption by these good for nothing’s the law has to be on top of their game otherwise they could be suspect in collusion enabling them to walk free while they throw the book at someone jaywalking or dream up more taxes to pay for these invading parasites.
