Felix Preen analyzes rumors of a U.S. gold price reset, warning against emotional investing. While debunking speculative price spikes, he highlights a genuine bullish case driven by central bank stockpiling and geopolitical instability. He provides a logical framework for evaluating financial claims and suggests a diversified strategy using gold as long-term insurance.
If you're invested in gold or silver there are two things screaming at you right now at the same
time and they're completely contradictory. One side is saying gold's going to ten thousand dollars,
US government is apparently about to reset the price of gold in July and you know by now we'll
miss the biggest wealth transfer in history. And then on the other side gold just had a brutal
pullback from its highs and millions of people who bought near the top are staring at the red
wondering if the whole thing is ever going to recover. So which is it? Is this a once in a
lifetime setup or the top of a bubble you're about to get crushed? Here's what I'm going to do for
you the next 20 minutes. I'm going to show you exactly how to tell the difference not just on
gold but on any money rumor for the rest of your life. I'll tell you what's actually true about
this reset story. The much bigger thing the headlines are hiding in a dead simple plan for
what to do with your money. And I'll warn you one fact you've heard repeatedly everywhere else about
this rumor is just flat out wrong and I'll show you how to spot it yourself. My name is Felix
Preen. I used to be an investment banker. I've sat inside the big institutions where these kind of
money decisions are made while everyone's panicking in mainstream media. I'm also the founder of the
Gold Academy where my retired Wall Street mentors 25,000 students this last six years. So this is a
no hype, no you know run out and buy gold now or you'll be poor forever type video. I just want to
show you what's actually happening behind the scenes. It gives you a calm plan you can follow.
And here's a slight warning this video is going to be fairly dense. I got some time. I'm literally
flying over of the United States right now. We're just over over Nebraska here right now
and I thought I'd share this with you because I think it's so important people are not omissive.
So a lot of numbers, a lot of sources, a lot of clam. And to make all of that stick for you I'm
also going to spend the next hour or so to put that into a free research report that you can
download that covers everything I'm running through here plus actually even more detail.
And you can download that for free at felixfrancidogs.com. Links in the description just grab it.
Nothing required there just grab it so you can follow a lot better or you can read it after it.
So let's lay out this gold reserve to ten thousand dollar rumor because parts of it are real and
that's why it's so convinced. It starts with a serious idea from a serious economist named
Juni Schultz. She's a former federal reserve board nominee and she came up with something called a
treasury trust bond. Here's what that means in plain English. You lend money to the government
and then they pay you back decades later. You get to choose whether you want to get dollars
or actual gold. So it's a government bond backed by real gold and that's real. So hold on to that.
Now here's the part that makes people lose their minds. The U.S. government owns about 8000 tons
of gold. The biggest pile of gold on the planet. But on the government books they value that gold
at $42. So now it's $42. It's not a typo. Gold trades at like 10, 100 times that. But the
government still holds it on their balance sheet at $42. It hasn't been updated since 1973. So the
rumor goes like this. What if the government finally updates that number to the real price
but overnight it creates trillions of dollars of value and they're saying it's going to happen this
July as America's celebrating 250 years. Perfect symbolic Trump-like moment. And from there these
claims explode. Gold to $10,000. Gold to $20,000. Higher. Because if the government officially says
gold is the real money the whole world has to follow. And I get why this is everywhere. It's a
real proposal. It's a genuinely upside $40 price and it's a patriotic date and it's a big number
$10,000. Big enough to change your life. And honestly some of the foundation under this rumor
are just true. And that's what makes I think it dangerous. Most convincing lies are typically 80%
true. So we're going to do something that almost nobody online does with this story. Instead of
reacting to it we're going to run it through a simple filter. A simple test that tells you in
about a minute whether any money headline deserves your fear, your excitement, or just your trash.
And once you see the filter you will never be fooled again by a headline Lennox. Now if you work
inside of a bank nobody acts on a headline. They run everything through a checklist every single
time. The same way. No emotion. And I've boiled that down to just three questions are literally
a fifth grade I could answer. And I was talking to the pilots actually not these pilots but some
other pilots I was meeting in New York. And they said hey Felix. Which is always very very nice
when people say hello. We chatted for about 15 minutes. And I said to them pilots make very very
good investors. Because you guys run through systems. You guys run through checklists right.
And it is lobby to see these guys do exactly that before we take off. So there is a truth filter.
And I'm gonna write this down. Question number one. Who benefits from me believing this?
Every loud money story is told by someone. The guy is screaming buy gold now. And he happens to sell
gold. Then that's it's a month sales pitch right. Now I like gold. I think in the long run gold's
gonna go up. But I'm not selling gold. I got paid by gold miners. I've never ever taken a dollar from
any kind of affiliate in my life nor do I intend to. And I'm not intending to sell gold anytime
soon either. So you want to always look at who gets paid when you believe a story. The second
question is what's this smart money actually do? So forget what people are saying. Watch what they
do with real money. Because talks free money is actually strangely honest. And if insiders,
if wall street, if comments, all these guys believe gold was about to triple in the next
month. They'd be backing up the truck to buy it right now. Quietly before the news. So that they
well are making money. And are they doing that? Well hold that question we're about to use it.
Question three is is this a fact or a fear? Gold's going to $50,000. That's a feeling.
Central banks bought about a thousand tons of gold last year. That's a fact. You can check it.
So build decisions on facts. Treat the feelings as entertainment. But that's it. So you got three
questions. Run every headline you ever see on YouTube or anywhere else through that. And let
me show you the facts on gold. What do you see? You see a gold price that's steadily falling.
You see no particularly large volume on the green days. So institutions are not buying this thing.
So if a story can't pass all three of these tests it doesn't get to touch your money or
how you make decisions. Let's run through this one more time to make it really clear.
Does this July reset right now in front of you? Hold on. Question number one. Who benefits?
A lot of the loudest gold voices out there. Well they're selling gold or gold coins or you know
something right. I don't blame them. It's just it's a business. Question two is what's the smart
money doing? And I just showed you that we are not seeing any significant buying in the market.
We're not seeing any whales positioning. The money is not behaving like people who know
the secret are doing something about it right. And maybe you think oh well they don't know yet. Well
look at what happened to oil stocks like six months or five months before the Iran war kicked
off. I happen to know because I was in those oil stocks at the time. Not because I knew about the
war but I could see there was money moving right. I had no idea why. I just followed. And then
question number three. A gold reset on a specific kind of peak celebration holiday. It's kind of a
feeling dressed up as a fact right. Repricing the nation's gold isn't someone pressing a button on
a Friday. It takes lawmaking sign-offs from the treasury and the Fed and quite frankly it could
backfire. It could signal to the world that the government doesn't trust its own dollar and
politicians are going to be careful about that. So we basically have three strikes there right. This
July gold reset the way it's been sold to you is almost certainly not happening that way. And that's
the fact. I warned you about it the first 30 seconds of this. And I know you want me to tell
you but it's going to go to a million dollars. And I hope it will. I am bullish on gold. I'm
bullish on even silver. But I'm not a crystal ball owner you know. We have to look at the facts
rather than what we the story that we would like to beat. And now I need to be really straight with
you because this is the part that actually matters. I just handed you the truth filter.
Use it for the rest of your life. It'll save you from a hundred bound headlines. But here is what
keeps me up at night lit too. Spotting the lie is the easy half. The hard half. A half that actually
protects your money is taking your own portfolio and your real holdings. Stocks, gold, silver,
index funds and getting it ready for what's actually coming. And I'm looking at literally
thousands of real portfolios because our students share their portfolios with us and most of them
are not built for this. People who did everything right for the last 20 years who think they're
diversified literally zero real protection in place right now. And they won't find out that
they don't have that in place until it's too late. And knowing that gold is insurance against inflation
and spending and so on doesn't help you if your house has no smoke detector and you don't know
how much coverage you actually need to insure. So it depends on your money, your age,
your other holdings. And I can't do that for you on a YouTube. So what I'm going to do for you first,
and we've never done this before, we're going to run a live workshop for you. It's called
why your portfolio is broken and why you won't know until it's too late. It's going to be
completely free. I'll teach you for two hours. I'll take your questions and we're going to go
through your actual situation with this system and show you the gaps that almost every portfolio I
see right now has. So you walk out with a calm, clear plan with rules instead of that fear and
that pit in your stomach. And if any of that's landing, if you're just feeling a little bit
uneasy about what's going on in the market and the AI bubble and the government spending and
inflation and everything else out there, then don't ignore it. Grab yourself a free ticket for
it. We're going to take 5,000 free students there in that session. And you can do that at
mygreatportfolio.com because that's my goal for you. If you can say mygreatportfolio.com. So
grab yourself a seat. If you think some other people you know are going to get some value out
there, share that link with them. And now let's understand the hidden story that makes me
fundamentally bullish on these metals because the rumor peddlers skip this a lot of the time
because it's a little bit detailed. It's a little bit less exciting, right? The central banks,
the institutions that manage all the money, that print all the money, they're buying gold faster
than almost any time in modern history of 1,000 tons a year, about double what it usually is.
And the crazy thing is a lot of this buying is secret. There is no law forcing a central bank
to announce how much gold they're buying. And many buy quietly through middlemen. We see that
especially in Asia. We see that in the Middle East. And how big's the hidden part? Well,
there's some data that just came out which suggests that the actual buying could be
many times higher than what's officially reported. Goldman Sachs, you know, the investment bankers
with soft, fluffy hearts, they estimate that central banks are quietly buying hundreds and
hundreds of tons of extra gold that isn't showing up. So if you run that through your new filter,
forget about everybody saying out there, the most powerful financial institutions in the world
are doing one thing with their money, stockpiling gold. So money is always honest. And that's,
to me, the signal. And if you're wondering why they're doing that, it's got everything to do
with the Russian war, because the US and Europe froze Russian foreign reserves. So Russia, whether
you love the Russian government or not, doesn't really matter. But they lost about $300 billion
in a day, it got frozen, and is possibly now being used to fund the people they're fighting, right?
So if you step back for a minute, and you imagine that you were the Russian government,
you wouldn't be all that happy about it. So what are you going to do? Well, it's not just the
Russians, but it's every central bank in the world, who is waking up and going, hang on, the dollars I hold,
they can be frozen. The euros I hold, they can be frozen. The yen I hold, they can be frozen.
So why don't I just buy gold and put it in my basement? Because unless you're going to invade me,
that's going to be pretty hard to get at. So then you might be wondering, well, what the heck does
gold crash? Well, I put on the screen here for you, three reasons. People buy stuff because it goes up.
And that's probably the most popular investing strategy I see in retail investors, is they buy
something because it goes up, for no other reason. And it's popular, and they have FOMO, and it's
natural, I totally get it, right? And gold went up here from about $3,500, which is where my
system's buy signal kicked in, we went all the way up to $5,500, and now we're back to $4,000, right?
Doesn't feel good for it to crash. Now, the smart money, the hedge funds, who started buying around
here, they also bought it on the way up, but they exit. And you can see them exiting pretty harshly
here in March, also up here in January, and they took profits, and they just bought something else,
because they don't care about gold. They couldn't care less about their own, they just want to make
money, right? That's the whole job description. So that's one part of it. We're seeing the people
who bought it because it was going up, they're now freaking out. And typically, when you go down
about 30%, most people will bottle out, and things go lower. We're about 28% or so down. It's a lot
of people's pain threshold. So if we go a little bit lower, more of those retail people are going
to sell off. Now, the second thing that happens, and that's kind of hard to imagine, the people
who bought it on the way up, they then sell it on the way down. So they short sell. So they trade
money, and they make money on the way up, they make money on the way down, and that pushes the
price down. And then they might also go on to, you know, mainstream media, and maybe, maybe help a
little bit with some fear stories along. And then you have the people who just buy this for the long
term, because they just want to hold it as an insurance. You might call them strong hands,
or whatever, that they do need a pretty tough stomach lining. And all I'd say to you there is
make sure it's a part of your wealth that isn't so large, and you can't sleep at night like that,
because you are going to have these pullbacks again, and again, and again, because the price
in the short term isn't set by you holding gold, the price in the short term is set by the people
trading gold. And they quite frankly have more money than you and me. And therefore those
billions determine which way the stock pays. So no stock, no commodity ever goes up in a straight
line, you got to expect 30 to 50% corrections. Unfortunately, that's the way the market works.
Once you realize that you kind of get used to it, maybe after a while. So to me, gold isn't broken,
it's just doing what it always does. And there are ultimately three forces here that are pushing this
in one direction. The first is US debt, $40 trillion in growing every day, and the dollar's
share of global reserves is slowly shrinking. So every time the dollar weakens a little, gold gets
a little bit more valuable. Every time the dollar goes up a little bit, gold loses a little bit of
value, at least temporary. And then the second reason is the economy has some warning lights,
but a trillion dollars is poured into the AI group. It's propping up a lot of parts of the
economy. And that spending, well, guess what, it could just slow, hopefully, like the turbulence
here. And a lot of people feel there is a recession out there, right? So the official numbers are
propped up by AI. And again, when you go into tough economic times, typically gold does quite well,
doesn't have to, but typically it does. And then three, gold's exact environment is what?
Mountains of debt, a stretched stock market, countries fighting over trade and territory.
That's historically when gold does its job. Because gold isn't just a shiny rock, it is a
5,000-year-old insurance policy. And the more panic there is, the more people need insurance.
So yes, the reset rumor is overblown, in my humble opinion. The crash is actually kind of healthy.
It's just what the market does. The real trend underneath it, in my humble opinion, is rock
solid. I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not telling you what to buy. I'm just sharing my opinion and
my research with you. So it brings us to one question, and really the only question what
matters, what do you actually do there? Before any tactics, one rule that's worth more than the rest
of this video combined, take the emotion out. Emotion is the number one wealth killer. Fear makes
you sell at the bottom. Greed makes you buy at the top. And we all have that. So the whole plan below
exists to make your decisions boring. Boring is actually what wins in the market. So picture your
money as a house. It's three parts. So just picture this in your head and you'll never be lost it.
You have a foundation of the house. This is money you cannot afford to lose. Rent, groceries,
emergencies needed. And it goes somewhere boring and safe, like a high yield savings account or
short-term treasury bills or something like that. It's not really invested. It's just not at risk.
How much? Three to six months of your expenses. So if you spend like $4,000 a month,
say $12,000 to $24,000 just sitting somewhere safe. And this is the foundation. We do not build
anything until it's solid. You do not touch it unless it's a really con emergency. And then
these are the rooms where you actually build wealth over decades. Stocks, index funds,
retirement accounts, you know, tax efficient accounts. And for most people, a simple mix of
low index funds is the smartest and the least stressful move. Classic starting point is
something like 70% stocks and maybe 30% bonds, shiny stuff, right? And even adjusted as we get
older. And this is where the compounding happens, the wealth building over 10, 20, 30 years.
And then you have your third bucket. That's your protection money. That's where the gold is.
And in this bucket, we put money not actually to make us rich. This is here to save you when
everything else goes wrong. Stock market crashes, the bucket holds up somewhat, or maybe it rises.
Inflation might eat your cash. Well, gold keeps its buying power. I saw it. Most people out there
in the financial world say 5 to 15% of your total money should go in here. The decision,
of course, is up to you. I'm not here to tell you what to do with that. But if you're really nervous
about the economy, obviously, it can be on the larger side of that. But again, it's a decision
for you, not for me. Think about it. You don't install a smoke detector because you want a fire.
You install it because fires happen. And the cost of not having one is pretty big. So gold is the
smoke detector and the fire extinguisher for your financial house at the same time. And the honest
catch is this, the right size for your bucket three depends entirely on what's in your other
two buckets, your real holdings, your age, your timeline. And I can give you the principle here
on YouTube, but I can't size it for your house, your situation. And that's exactly what we're
going to map out together, live together. If you go to mygreatportfolio.com, grab yourself a seat,
shop for yourself, be on time. And if you will do that, just write great in the comments down below.
And I know that you'll show up for yourself. And the number one question I want to answer for you
there is, you know, when do I buy? What if it drops more right now after I buy? And the answer
is stop trying to pick the perfect moment. Nobody can do that. Instead, we nibble in the right-ish
moments where we see the institutional money acting. So say you want to put, you know,
10k into gold this year. I think I better put a seat belt on, which is precisely what we're
doing with gold. Then you don't buy the $10,000 on day one. You nip, right? And you buy bits here,
buy bits there, and you spread that out over, say, 12 months. And now you actually feel a lot calmer
because you didn't buy only at the top. I get that you might also not just buy only at the bottom,
but you don't know it's the bottom until the bottom is all out. You will just pay an average
price. And over time, that's actually going to do really, really well for you, in my humble opinion.
Now, for those of you who want a bit more excitement and want to go into gold miners
and that sort of stuff, we can also talk about that on the weekend. And I do do that. Right now,
I'm not. I don't own a single gold mine. Not because I think it's never going to go back up.
I just think at present, the big money and institutional money is flowing into other
buckets. So I like to follow the buckets where the money is flowing in, rather than the buckets
which have leaky holes right now. At the moment, for whatever reason, the gold story isn't quite
what we'd like it to be. And silver is the same story, by the way. Similar qualities,
very real industrial demand from solar, electronics, EVs, and so on. It swings bigger,
it's more ups and downs. But ultimately, the story is quite similar. So if you're just starting,
some physical gold means you're probably going to own that for hopefully the rest of your life.
A gold ETF is the easiest step. It's a little bit more liquid, but you're not quite sure what
you actually own. And as much as you want the gold reset to be true and waiver to go to $10,000,
just be careful with Bruce telling you what. If it gets knocked over, it's fine. So run through
the truthful that I just gave you. Minimize the emotions in the whole process. And instead,
focus on the facts. And if you have a long term horizon, there's some good reasons to be bullish
on this story, especially in silver, but also in gold with inflation and so on. I think the US
government is going to cause inflation for many, many years to come. It's the only way they can
handle the debt. And gold typically does well in those scenarios. But it isn't going to be a
straight line. You are going to have these 30% drawdowns. They're kind of part of the plan.
They're part of the process. And understanding that will hopefully make you feel a little bit
calmer. But if you want a real plan, and you want to really, really know what's being harbored by
your portfolio, where the real risk sits, then come and join us on the weekend. And I'll show
you some of the glorious plains of Nebraska. If I can point this out of the window, I don't know
what you can make out here. But it's a really, really nice journey on a beautiful blue sky
across this glorious country that you guys many of you guys live in. I'm very grateful to be here.
And that's so many of you while we're on this trip in the US and it's been really, really fun.
So if you got some value out of this, just share with some people share the link to the
workshop on the weekend. Our goal here is just to change more lives the way we already are. And
I wish you all the best. Take care. Two weeks ago, I did something most people on YouTube never
I pointed at three specific stocks that had been completely written off
on camera before anything had happened to them. And I said, what
