Buffett’s long-term success was built on compounding—but that only works as long as the currency holds its value. Even Warren himself recently hinted that the U.S. dollar is in trouble over the coming decades, and our current leaders aren’t equipped to fix it.

Over the past century, the battle between precious metals and paper assets has swung wildly — and today, both gold and silver are flashing signs of being massively undervalued. While gold has already begun its breakout, silver is the coiled spring, historically known for explosive catch-up moves when it finally runs. Real estate and stocks may look solid in dollar terms, but measured in bullion, the cracks are already showing. If you're curious about where true value is heading, now’s the time to dig deeper — the charts and history don’t lie.

Gold recently hit a new nominal high, echoing historical patterns from the late 1970s when gold and silver prices surged dramatically, and today’s economic fragility suggests much higher precious metals prices are still ahead. Central banks, especially in emerging markets, are aggressively accumulating gold as faith in the U.S. dollar weakens, signaling a broader structural shift in the global monetary system. Meanwhile, silver remains deeply undervalued relative to gold, and with surging demand from Asia and persistent supply deficits, it is poised for a powerful breakout as the bullion bull market matures.

Gold prices have surged over $700 this year, recently surpassing $3,350 per ounce, with some analysts forecasting a potential rise to $3,500 by the end of May. This rally has been fueled by strong central bank demand—particularly from emerging markets—alongside increased speculative activity in derivatives markets. While short-term corrections are expected, possibly dipping below $3,000 over the summer, the long-term trend remains bullish. Silver, which has lagged behind gold, is projected by some to reach $38–$42 per ounce this year, with the potential to retest its historic highs if momentum builds. The global silver market also faces a growing supply deficit, now projected at nearly 149 million ounces for 2024.

Gold prices have recently soared to unprecedented levels, surpassing $3,245 per ounce, driven by escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and investor demand for safe-haven assets.

Gold reached a record high of $3,023 per ounce, with significant flows from Swiss refineries to the US and predictions it could rise to $3,500 by year-end. Global demand remains strong with Western investors experiencing FOMO and Vietnamese consumers standing in long lines to purchase gold, while India faces a $13 billion loss from its sovereign gold bond program. Despite the current gold-to-silver ratio being historically high at 91, analysts remain bullish on both metals due to factors including record debt markets, deficit spending, and worldwide fiat currency proliferation.

Gold recently surpassed $3,000 an ounce, reflecting accelerating fiat currency devaluation as central banks shift to bullion reserves over bonds. Both gold and silver have outperformed dividend-reinvested stock indices this century, despite financial education largely ignoring precious metals since the 1970s.
