0:00 When the world's wealthy are now putting their accumulated wealth, accumulated over generations, to the test, choosing which asset class to side with, if you still think it has nothing to do with you, or even say you chose the wrong side with your money , then it's no exaggeration to say that your class status will be entrenched for at least 20 years! Why? You'll find that the most frequently asked question I've received this year is actually two unrelated questions! Gold has risen so high, is it still worth buying? And US stocks have risen so high, is it still worth buying? To put it simply, one question is about gold and the other about US stocks! But in reality, these two questions are not two separate questions, because in the end, you'll find that they are still the same question! And when this question starts to get asked so many times, what does it mean?
0:47 It means that we have entered the first major wealth reshuffle since 2008 ! What does that mean? Hello everyone, I'm Sweeping Monk! Everyone! Is gold a safe haven asset? It's gold in troubled times! Gold, a safe-haven asset, has soared 62% this year . Does this mean that everyone is shifting their money into this safe-haven asset because they believe the world is becoming increasingly chaotic and the economy is in trouble, even facing a potential crash ? But what about the other side? Are US stocks a risky asset? At the same time this year, US stocks also rose 10% . If we only count the period after the stock market crash, they actually rebounded by over 30%! Does this mean that the market is actually optimistic about the US economy and technology, which is why they are willing to invest in such volatile risky assets like the US stock market?
1:36 In other words, these two questions actually boil down to one : can those who didn't invest this year and didn't make money still chase the gains and invest now? Whether you bought gold because you were bearish on the economy or US stocks because you were bullish, as long as you invested this year , you would have basically made money! This is the question retail investors ask! They don't realize the seriousness of the situation! Everyone! Why is the market betting on both the safe-haven asset gold and the risky US stock market? It's like a casino: when you're going big, why do you also go small? If the economy is truly so strong, why is there such a rush for gold? If the crisis is truly imminent, why is the US stock market, representing the future, rising so recklessly?
2:22 These two things can happen simultaneously, but they cannot both be true! In other words, one of them must be a monstrous lie! Why are all the experts talking about a US debt crisis , yet the US itself seems unfazed? In recent months, the US has borrowed an additional two trillion dollars! How can they, while owing the entire world debt, still see their stock market soar? This isn't market logic at all ; it's a conspiracy orchestrated by two world-shaking forces ! I'm telling you! The truth is far colder and more brutal than you can imagine! Your choices will determine whether your wealth will be crushed by the tide of time or whether you can ride the waves! If you don't want to be a victim of this game
3:10 , or even hope to cross the social ladder through it , then subscribe to my channel because you anticipate I'll be providing more information later! If you're worried you'll forget what you've learned after listening , then like this video so it'll automatically be added to your playlist so you can come back and follow along anytime! First of all, the simultaneous rise of safe-haven assets and risky assets is indeed contradictory! But it's theoretically possible for gold and US stocks to rise simultaneously ! For example, during a war, many people buy gold as a safe haven! Meanwhile, US economic data has been strong in recent years , so people from other countries also buy US stocks as a safe haven! Since their own economies are struggling, they can only invest in the US, where the economy is strong! In other words, US stocks can be considered a safe haven asset during times of turmoil
3:56 ! But is this really the case this time? You'll notice that after the Russo-Ukrainian war broke out in 2022, gold actually fell! And for two years, whenever gold reached the orange resistance line , it couldn't rise above it! It wasn't until 2024 that it began to rise again! However, gold's fastest growth actually occurred this year , after we made our plans! In other words, whether gold is rising or falling right now doesn't seem to be directly related to war! Honestly, if you want to run away with your money in a war, holding gold is more convenient than holding US dollars! So, here's the key point: why has gold risen so much this year? It's because the US dollar has plummeted this year too!
4:42 So, gold is indeed a safe haven asset , but it's not protecting against the risk of war, but the risk of a US dollar crash! More precisely, it's protecting against the risk of a US Treasury bond crash! Many people say that if no one buys U.S. debt, the U.S. will face a crisis! But as I've said before, if no one buys U.S. debt, it's not a crisis for the U.S. for now! Even if the whole world stopped buying U.S. debt and no one lent new money to the U.S. to repay its old debt, the U.S. would still be able to repay its debts! Because the Federal Reserve can actually print its own money and lend it to the U.S. to repay its debts! So why is the Fed watching U.S. debt plummet and not lending money to the U.S. to repay its debts? It's even been said that over the past two years, the Fed has been continuously shrinking its balance sheet and selling U.S. debt , causing the U.S. debt and the dollar to fall even further.
5:30 So here's the point! Many people think that the U.S. government and Americans are footing the bill for the collapse of U.S. debt and the dollar, and that it has nothing to do with them! Right? I laughed! If Zimbabwe's bonds and currency collapsed today, it certainly wouldn't have anything to do with us! But today we're talking about the United States! Imagine you owed the entire world money today. And it wasn't just ten or twenty thousand dollars, but an astronomical sum that you, your son, or your grandson couldn't possibly pay off in your lifetime. What would you do? Would you just work hard to pay it back? No kidding ! You couldn't possibly pay it back, and it's impossible! So would you declare bankruptcy and refuse to pay? Tell the world you won't pay it back? Then America's credit would completely collapse , and you'd never be able to borrow money again, and no one would invest in or do business with you!
6:18 That's impossible! In other words, paying back debts and going bankrupt are never the solutions! Still think this doesn't concern you? When the debtor won't pay, who's ultimately responsible? The borrower, of course! Everyone, what's happening in the world right now? The US is experiencing severe inflation! US Treasury bonds have plummeted! And what else? The US dollar has plummeted! What does that mean? Inflation means a loss of purchasing power! Imagine you owed a bank one million dollars 30 years ago , and now you've finally paid it off. Have you truly paid it off? If $1 million 30 years ago could buy a house worth tens of millions today, then wouldn't you actually owe the bank tens of millions now? But you only paid back the $1 million! So, aren't you using devalued money
7:06 to repay a debt that was once worth a fortune? You've effectively defaulted on most of the debt! This is because inflation devalues the currency! Then, magnify this logic hundreds of thousands of times and apply it to the United States! In other words, what the United States owes the world isn't a specific number , but the actual purchasing power that number can be converted into. Would n't $1 million 30 years ago buy more oil, food, goods, and technology than it does now? To buy the same amount of these things today would probably require $10 million! So, accounting for inflation, the United States should have owed you $10 million! But it only paid back the $1 million it owed you back then! So, isn't that 90% of the debt being defaulted on? So
7:54 , how can you trigger inflation and devalue the currency? During the 2020 pandemic, much of the US debt came due and needed to be repaid! So, the Federal Reserve simply printed money without a limit! Inflation in the US has skyrocketed! And what about this year? They've already cut interest rates and even imposed tariffs before inflation has even been tamed! The most important thing is, as the previous video showed , you don't even know what the US inflation figures are now! Because the government is shut down, no one's keeping count! So, inflation in the US doesn't indicate whether the economy is doing well! The more important factor to consider when evaluating the economy is the unemployment rate! Inflation represents the extent to which the US wants to default on its debts! The more inflation there is, the less debt he can repay, isn't it? And what else? U.S. Treasury bonds have plummeted! It seems like no one is lending money to the US government anymore. Doesn't that seem like a bad thing?
8:42 It means the US government has to pay higher interest rates to borrow money! But who is buying US Treasury bonds? Who is lending money to the US? The whole world! Most countries in the world's foreign exchange reserves are stored in US Treasury bonds! Now that the price of US Treasury bonds has plummeted , haven't the world's assets suddenly devalued? Many US banks previously bought a lot of US Treasury bonds, and then the price of US Treasury bonds plummeted, causing their asset values to plummet and become insolvent and bankrupt! Even US banks can go bankrupt! What about the world? Let's make it simpler! What if you bought US Treasury bonds during the 2020 pandemic, when US Treasury prices were at their highest and the US was selling a huge amount of US Treasury bonds? What would the consequences be for you? You would have faced
9:30 the Federal Reserve's continued interest rate hikes and the continuous reduction of its balance sheet, which drove down the price of US Treasury bonds! What then? The US Treasury assets you bought at a high price would have shrunk significantly! You can see that after the 2020 pandemic, the most popular ETF for US Treasury bonds has shrunk by over 50%! So when you sell off your US Treasury bonds at a loss in the secondary market, and everyone does this, won't the US Treasury bond market crash even more? At this point, the Federal Reserve will come down like an angel, claiming to rescue and stabilize the market, and then buy back large quantities of US Treasury bonds from you panicked sellers at extremely low prices ! So what happens after the Fed buys up US Treasury bonds? The US government has to pay the Fed back!
10:15 But the Fed then returns the money back to the US government! Simply put, there are three steps! First, the US government sells US Treasury bonds to you at a high price! Then the Fed steps in to dump the market and buy the US Treasury bonds from you at a low price! Then, the US government pays the Fed, and the Fed turns around and returns the money to the US government! So, in the end, are you the one who pays the bill? The entire process is public! To address inflation, they raise interest rates, shrink their balance sheet, and dump US Treasury bonds! And then what happens? When the market crashes, they enter the market as the last buyer to buy up assets! Preventing a financial collapse is a well-deserved strategy! But aren't the world's creditors the ones losing money?
11:03 And is it always like this? What else is happening now? The dollar is plummeting! The principle is the same as for US Treasury bonds. The US dollars that the world has painstakingly earned over decades by selling electronics, services, clothing, and so on are now devalued! For example, a 20% devaluation of the dollar against the euro—what does that mean? Imagine if you owed me $1 million before, you'd get 1 million euros in euros! What about now? If you pay me back $1 million, you'll only get 800,000 euros! Is this equivalent to me lending you 1 million euros and you only pay me back 800,000? So, is inflation, the plummeting dollar, and US Treasury bonds good or bad for the debt-ridden US?
11:48 Are you the ones footing the bill? So, the US debt crisis is a crisis for creditors, not for the US debt itself! The collapse and bankruptcy are for the creditors, not the debtors! Do you understand? In other words, the world's hard-earned money is shrinking without your knowledge! At the same time, both safe-haven gold and risky US stocks are rising! Is your money shrinking even more? Is the wealth gap between those who don't invest and those who do ? So, just because you don't understand investing and think asset prices are already high isn't a reason not to invest!
12:34 Investing is something you ca n't decide! Yet, many people's understanding of investing is based on insider information, long-term holding, and buying low and selling high. And what happens? They end up buying high, buying low, or getting stuck with it! Why? Because they're using the same methods as retail investors! First, we don't have inside information, so we can't know the bottom! Buying at the bottom is like catching a falling knife! Second, we don't need to predict when a bubble will burst . We only do one thing: ride the bubble and retreat before it crashes! Our team is in the market every day for stocks you're afraid to buy! When you panic sell, we've already locked in profits! It's not because we're bold, but because we have a bubble-hunting guerrilla warfare system!
13:19 Identify the buying and selling signals of major investors with an automated profit-taking mechanism. Strictly adhere to the bottom line of minimizing losses and maximizing profits! Remember: we're not here to be shareholders, but to collect protection fees! I spent three months cramming this complete "bubble-making" system into the Investment Life-Changing Training Camp! Today, you don't have to pay $400, or even a dollar. If you're a fan and really want to survive in the market, I'll give it to you! It's a public service class! Those who didn't get a ticket last time won't get one this time if you're slow! So, click the first link in the description to secure your spot immediately! Don't wait until the bubble bursts to remember you had this spot!
14:07 You'll notice that since the US began raising interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet , driving down US Treasury bonds, central banks around the world have doubled their gold purchases! They've gradually begun investing in gold in batches! Why? To save themselves! With their assets constantly depreciating, they have no choice but to switch to safe-haven assets! So why can the safe-haven asset of gold and the risky asset of US stocks rise simultaneously? Because they are buying from two different groups of buyers! Who's buying gold? Central banks around the world! And what about the US stock market? Individual investors worldwide! So, the question arises: Is gold a substitute for the US dollar and US Treasury bonds? When the whole world buys gold and abandons US dollars and US Treasury bonds, will the US dollar collapse? Indeed! On the surface, central bank gold purchases have indeed doubled!
14:55 But if you break it down, you'll discover a cold truth! In reality, each country only buys a tiny amount of gold! For example, China has been one of the most active gold buyers in the world in recent years! But its average annual gold purchases are less than 100 tons! Official data shows that China currently holds over 2,000 tons of gold! But do you know how much the US holds? Official data says over 8,000 tons! This figure is often questioned , but regardless of whether it's true or not, the world believes the US has over 8,000 tons of gold! In other words, if China were to buy the same amount of gold as the US, it would take at least 50 to 60 years! If China, or the world, accelerates its gold purchases, the price of
15:43 gold will only rise even more! So the US isn't afraid of others buying gold. When the whole world buys, the price of gold will rise, and the US's 8,000-plus tons of gold assets will become even more valuable! The US dollar and US Treasury bonds will become even less valuable! So, if you're in the US right now, your assets are more valuable while your debt has invisibly shrunk. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for you? Now, here comes the crucial question! Gold has already risen so high, will it continue to rise? You'll notice that on the 21st, gold suddenly plummeted, and has now fallen 7%! And we mentioned in our disciples' internal live broadcast last Saturday, the 18th, that I had already sold some of my gold and silver to secure the profits! Does this mean that the gold bull market
16:29 is coming to an end? Let's look at this chart! In the past fifty years, gold has experienced five bull and bear markets! The first was in 1971, when the dollar was decoupled from gold! Everyone lost faith in the dollar, so they all rushed to buy gold! So, as you can see from this chart, gold prices have been rising since 1971! So why did gold enter a bear market around 1974? Because the US dollar was pegged to oil at the time, buying oil required US dollars! Then what happened? Around 1978, gold started a bull market again! Why? Because the Soviet Union was challenging the United States for world dominance! People at the time thought the Soviet Union might replace the United States , so the US dollar was in trouble! Gold prices rose again! Then, in 1981, gold entered a bear market again!
17:16 Because the US-Soviet competition was won by the United States! The US dollar regained its dominance! So, gold entered a bear market! Then, around 1985, Japan experienced incredibly rapid growth! Didn't I mention this before? Housing prices in Tokyo could buy the entire United States! Many American companies were acquired by Japan! So, the dollar was in danger of being replaced by the yen, and gold entered a bull market again. However, a few years later, with the Plaza Accord, Japan was gone! The dollar rebounded! Gold entered a long bear market until 2000! The US dot-com bubble burst! Then European countries came together and created the euro! At the time, the euro was also challenging the dollar, so gold entered a bull market! It wasn't until 2012 that gold entered a bear market again. Why?
18:04 Because the European debt crisis erupted, and the euro also died! So you'll notice that every time gold enters a bull market , it's either because the dollar is having problems or because another country's currency is challenging it! And now? After the 2020 pandemic, the US printed money without limit, directly driving the dollar down! Then, gold started to rise! It continued to rise until 2022, when the US began raising interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet, and gold's rise finally stopped! But after 24 years, and especially this year, the dollar plummeted, and gold rebounded! Its rise was even the fastest and largest in history! In other words, the relationship between the dollar and gold is like a seesaw! Whenever the dollar falls, gold rises! When the dollar rises, gold falls! So, is this bull market in gold coming to an end?
18:52 We should think about the question the other way around: has the dollar's decline ended? The first question is, will the Fed continue to cut interest rates? Are these rate cuts just the beginning? Is the US unemployment rate getting worse? So, it's highly likely that the Fed will continue to cut interest rates! Furthermore, the Fed recently stated that it might stop shrinking its balance sheet! If it were to expand its balance sheet and start printing money , wouldn't the dollar become even cheaper? And secondly, will US inflation continue to rise? If the Fed's balance sheet reduction and interest rate hikes in 2022 didn't curb inflation, do you think the current rate cuts and tariffs will? And will US Treasury bonds continue to fall? The US
19:37 has sold over $2 trillion in Treasury bonds in just the past few months ! While short-term Treasury bonds have found stablecoins to buy them , long-term Treasury bonds remain unsold! The US government has only borrowed short-term debt, not long-term! In other words, for gold to enter a bear market this time , several conditions must exist! First, US inflation must end! No more tariffs, interest rate cuts, or money printing! Second, the US dollar exchange rate must stop falling! Third, long-term US Treasury bonds must find buyers again! Otherwise, the gold bull market will likely continue! So, while gold is indeed falling , it's up 62% since our investment this year! So, a pullback is acceptable to us! This also applies to silver, so we
20:24 'll lock in some of our profits! If there's another opportunity, we might even increase our position! But for safety's sake, we 'll only lock in some of our profits when the risk alert goes off ! So far, gold hasn't done anything wrong! We won't rashly declare a bear market and short it! That wouldn't be in our favor! For details, please visit the first link in the registration description for the Investment Life-Changing Training Camp! But one thing is certain: countries around the world are betting on gold as a safe-haven asset! The World Gold Council says that even the United States smuggled 600 tons of gold into its own vaults before the tariff war in April ! And what about the safe-haven asset of US stocks? Who's buying it?
