The SpaceX Crash Was Inevitable

I publicly warned that the SpaceX IPO was overpriced hype, and now it's down 27% from its highs. Retail investors, lured by the promise of space-age profits, bought on margin and leveraged themselves to the hilt. They are now the new bag holders, watching their accounts evaporate as more insider shares unlock and flood the market. This isn't a surprise; it's a predictable pattern. As I've documented, the "Great Cratering" of 2026 is devouring paper assets as counterparty risk explodes across the COMEX and beyond ^[1].

What happened to SpaceX is just a preview. The stock market as a whole is a house of cards built on central bank money printing and artificially low interest rates. The average investor doesn't understand that stocks are paper promises with no intrinsic backing. When the music stops, retail always gets wiped out. The dot-com bubble, the 2008 subprime crisis, and now this AI-driven mania – history keeps repeating because the incentives never change. As I've said on Brighteon, panic has gripped the markets as the "everything bubble" faces collapse ^[2]. Don't be the last one holding the bag.

Stocks Are Paper Promises, Not Real Value

Stocks represent fractional ownership in companies that can be diluted, manipulated, and rendered worthless literally overnight. Overvalued IPOs and tech stocks frequently soar on nothing but speculation and cheap debt. Meanwhile, central banks print money endlessly, diluting fiat currencies and inflating asset bubbles. The U.S. money supply grew a shocking 40% from early 2020 to April, 2022 (just two years!), and that flood of liquidity has almost nowhere to go but into speculative assets ^[3].

Ron Paul has warned for decades that endless money printing is a hidden tax that redistributes wealth from the middle class to elites who access new money first ^[4]. The same dynamic is playing out again, only bigger. The cracks are spreading fast, as I predicted in March 2024 ^[5]. The global financial system has started to collapse, and anyone who doesn't see it will likely lose a significant portion of their assets through bank failures or currency debasement as the financial reckoning arrives ^[6].

The solution is not to chase the next hot stock. The solution is to own real assets that cannot be printed into oblivion. As Robert Kiyosaki told me in our interview, "Gold is money; everything else is credit" ^[7]. That's a principle that has held true for over 5,000 years and will outlast every currency and every bubble in the world.

Why Gold and Silver Are Different

Gold and silver have intrinsic value that cannot be created by a central bank. Silver has vital industrial demand in solar panels, electronics, and medical devices, while gold has a 5,000-year history as monetary metal and a store of real value. Physical metals have no counterparty risk – no one can default on a gold coin. That's why I've been stacking and recommending them for years, and it's why the wealthy people I know stack metals as insurance, even if they also invest in stocks or debt markets.

We are currently seeing temporary price suppression of gold and silver due to Middle East liquidity emergencies and coordinated attacks on the silver market, but the fundamentals are screaming higher. Earlier this year, gold surged past $5,000 per ounce and silver hit $83, signaling a historic flight from failing fiat currencies ^[8]. Although they have both settled significantly since then, they are poised for much higher dollar valuations as the purchasing power of the dollar continues to collapse.

Mathematically speaking, the dollar's days as a global reserve currency are numbered; BRICS nations are stockpiling gold to escape the dollar system ^[9]. I've predicted gold at $5,000 and beyond, and now the trends that pushed gold above $5K are still at play... and accelerating. ^[10].

The shift is real. China recently cancelled a large volume of grain contracts with Australia and the U.S., opting to buy from Russia using gold from the Shanghai Gold Exchange – a direct end run around the dollar ^[11]. This is the beginning of a new monetary order. Those who hold physical gold and silver will be on the right side of the greatest wealth transfer in human history.

The Only Safe Move for Retail Investors

Don't take this as professional investment advice, because I'm not your advisor. But in my view, we should all avoid overpriced IPOs and stock market gambling. Instead, accumulate physical gold and silver through reputable dealers like Battalion Metals. Exercise discernment and only use trusted retailers – a shocking exposé recently revealed how some unscrupulous gold retailers exploit retirees by selling overpriced "premium" coins with hidden markups as high as 450% ^[12]. So do your due diligence, stick to reasonable premiums, and buy from dealers with transparent pricing that are backed by reputable people.

Given that peace talks are currently under way, this might be your last chance to buy metals at a discount before the economic recovery gets moving. As I've written in my Ultimate Financial Survival Guide, the goal is to eliminate counterparty risk before the system collapses ^[13]. That means taking physical delivery of your metals, not leaving them in a bank safe deposit box or a paper ETF. As Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin told me, the frantic manipulation of gold and silver prices by JP Morgan is coming to an end, and once price discovery leaves Western banks, metals will likely skyrocket ^[11].

Don't fall for the hype of crypto or high-flying tech stocks. Those are just different forms of paper. Real money is what you can hold in your hand. As I've said on my broadcasts, become your own central bank by holding physical gold and silver under your control ^[14]. That's the only way to protect your savings from the coming dollar collapse.

I Know How This Ends

Hyperinflation and a dollar collapse are not just possible – they are mathematically inevitable. The U.S. dollar has lost roughly 97% of its purchasing power since 1913, and the staggering $150+ trillion in total national liabilities ensures a "Greater Depression" far worse than the 1930s ^[15]. The Fed and Treasury cannot stop this. They will try to kick the can, but the can has very nearly reached the end of the road.

Be a holder of real money, not a bag holder of worthless stock. As I've warned repeatedly on my Health Ranger Report, the stock market is a house of cards that will collapse along with the dollar ^[2]. Stay prepared, stay out of the overpriced stock market, and own the metals that have backed civilization for millennia. Don't take this as professional investment advice, of course, because I'm not your advisor. Do your own research, talk to your own advisors and draw your own conclusions.

The endgame is written. The only question is whether you'll be on the side of real assets or on the side of the paper illusion.
