INSIGHT

Precious Metals Bull Market Has Just Begun

The precious metals bull market is only beginning and reflects a multi-mega cycle tied to monetary debasement since the Fed's rise.
Francis Hunt points to the 2020 bond turn, financialization, and low hedge fund gold holdings (0–2%) as evidence the move is immature.

ADVICE

Start Portfolios With Gold Silver And Platinum

Start with exposure to the big three metals: gold, silver, and platinum when building a portfolio today.
Francis Hunt recommends focusing on gold and silver first and including platinum as a wildcard that may even outshine silver.

INSIGHT

Gold Silver Ratio Could Drop To Single Digits

The gold-silver ratio could fall to single digits at silver's peak because current silver production is only 6.9 ounces per ounce of gold.
Hunt links rising industrial demand, including potential solid-state battery use, as a price-driving mechanism that makes single-digit plausible.

In this focused 10-minute video, The Market Sniper's Francis Hunt tells Wealthion's Maggie Lake why the precious metals bull market is far from over and exactly how to position for what's ahead. Hunt reveals that hedge funds hold just 0–2% gold exposure, makes the case that the gold-silver ratio could reach single digits (backed by silver's 6.9:1 production ratio and surging demand from solid-state batteries), and explains why physical ownership beats ETFs when counterparty risks are mounting. He also names platinum as the wildcard metal that could outshine them all. If you watched yesterday's big-picture interview, this is the tactical follow-up.
