Dear friends, I'm glad again and honored again to be talking to, for the first time of the new year, Colin Plume from...
Noble Gold Investments.
And by the way, as you can see at the bottom of the screen, LionelNationGold.com, Noble Gold Investments, 877-646-5347.
Commit that.
Prick your blood, your finger, write it in blood, tattoo it on your forehead.
Never forget.
Colin, welcome.
Happy New Year, my friend.
Happy New Year.
Nice to be here.
Exciting year.
Let's talk about this.
Yeah.
This is the book.
It's called Silver is the New Oil.
Right.
Strategies for Profiting from the Next Industrial Revolution.
Owning Assets in the Energy Transition 00:04:51
Colin Plume, available on Amazon every place else.
By the way, this is going to be coming to a theater near you.
Who is going to be playing you in this?
That's a great question.
I don't know.
I haven't thought about it.
Brian Austin Green, maybe?
I don't know.
I used to get that as a kid.
They used to say I used to look like him, an older actor.
I don't know.
I'm excited to have the book out.
It took a few years to get it to the finish line.
Everybody talks about gold, which I love gold.
I always talk about gold, but I wanted to dive into silver and really talk about the opportunity in silver.
I think when you're looking at commodities, silver's...
A little bit like the redheaded stepchild.
No one really talks about it, so I wanted to dive into it and put a lot of charts and graphs.
Yeah, go ahead.
It is absolutely replete with information and data, but keep in mind that when we talk about electric vehicles, solar panels, advanced technologies, all of them require silver.
It's not just this thing you look at and say, oh, okay.
Gold is a wonderful thing, but you're not going to have gold-lined Machinery makes it very, very expensive.
That's a great point.
I think that when you're looking at where things are going for the future, there's a few big topics in the book that I go over.
One is energy.
Everybody knows where energy goes.
The wealth goes.
Oil was the great wealth generator in the late 1800s, 1900s.
J. Paul Getty and all of these magnets that created this unbelievable wealth.
And now everyone's looking around and saying, well, what's the next thing that is going to have unbelievable wealth that's tied to energy?
And a lot of people today are talking about nuclear energy and this type of energy.
But there's things that we know can help reduce costs.
Day-to-day living.
And one of them is electric vehicles.
And, you know, I talk about it in the book is that if you just, once you, if you just compare the $25,000 car, same Adam, you know, A to B, gas car to electric car, you're going to save 55% minimum today.
On your monthly expense in that electric vehicle compared gas to electric.
That's just right now.
And if you add those numbers up over a long time, it ends up being a lot of money.
And everyone's talking about EV and the prices have dropped.
And I'm thinking to myself, it's an amazing opportunity.
Some of these cars, these Teslas you're picking up, I've seen people buying them for $20,000 and they have no gas.
It can add a lot.
These little things, a monthly expense like gas, that can continue.
And we're going to see $8 gas.
We're going to see $10 gas.
So my 55% savings is based on today.
It's not based on where gasoline is going to go.
So that's a tremendous savings day-to-day.
Solar panels.
Obviously, electricity is something that's just gone up and up and up and up.
So the idea of having solar panels.
We'll continue to keep your costs low.
So these are just two of the thousands of uses for silver that will continue to skyrocket.
And if you look at the numbers, there is a shortage of ounces of silver.
So these are the things that I really dive into.
And I talk about the super cycle of assets.
There's going to be a super cycle here where You know, a lot of the world and a lot of these organizations and everyone out there saying, you know, you don't need to own anymore.
You don't need to own anything.
You can just rent.
You can just borrow.
And everything is renting and borrowing.
And I believe the exact opposite is that it's an asset economy.
You owning assets, owning things.
And the nice thing is you're owning things that are debt-free.
You know, once you buy this, there's no debt behind it.
Owning assets will protect you against...
It'll protect you against governments overreaching and trying to take too much of your money.
Really having assets protects you and creates wealth for the long term.
And so I dive into that in my book where I talk about silver.
And then I also give some tips on real estate, which I've also done, which parlays into really what I always talk about as being diversified, which I am.
I own lots of different types of assets, but I truly believe in real assets.
Gold and silver.
Good real estate.
Things that, you know, over time will go up and things that are irreplaceable.
Market Tariffs and Inflation 00:15:34
And also, you know, Colin, it's wonderful how people are getting involved in crypto.
And it's wonderful that this and the Trump meme and Bitcoin, and that's exciting.
But there's this wonderful thing, too, is it may seem kind of old-fashioned.
But it's old-fashioned for a reason.
It's dependable that's here.
It's metals, but it's silver.
So again, one more thing.
This is the book, and I will have in the link how you can get this.
Believe me, this is not...
Listen, I've read some of these before, and you know it's true, Colin.
These are some snoozers.
This is a page-turner, and I won't tell you how it ends.
It's fine for dad or grad.
Wait till it comes to the drive-in.
Anyway, there's a role in here, for me, I understand, played by Danny DeVito.
Shouldn't let people know that.
But in any event, now let's talk about this.
You know, Colin, you might have heard there was an election recently.
And this guy, Trump, apparently is the president.
And already people are talking about tariffs.
And what is your take on the Trump administration and with his reign, as it were?
Well, yeah, I mean, there's a number of things.
And I think that you have to really look at every president has an economic strategy.
And his economic strategy...
The last guy, I don't know.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I mean, some of the strategy is do nothing.
Yeah, some of the strategy is nothing.
But Trump's strategy is built from his business acumen.
And it's, you know, if you think about all the things he's already talked about and been doing, acquiring Poland, negotiating tariffs.
It's all to give us a business advantage through economic coercion.
We're trying to coerce people to do things, whereas the previous administration was really focused on...
You know, more in terms of spending money on war and trying to grow the U.S. in that way.
Like, we're going to give out aid, which means you're aligned with us, whereas Trump's less about getting into war.
He wants to get out of wars.
He knows that the cost is bad for us, and he really wants to focus on...
I'm going to talk to you about tariffs because you guys have had a strategic advantage.
You're making goods overseas at a reduced price.
And so we want to bring some of that money back here, some of that revenue back here.
And so he's said on February 1st he's going to have a 25% tariff for Canada and for Mexico.
And then obviously he's pushing with China to have a similar type tariff.
And these things, the idea of bringing more jobs back here and manufacturing, these are good ideas, but there is an effect.
And that's the thing that I always look at is like, well, as an individual that's an investor, how am I going to benefit from the next four years of these strategies?
And a high-growth, high-inflation strategy falls right in line with owning precious metals because you've got to think our debt is going to continue to go up.
We're going to have tremendous growth.
Hopefully, that's the idea.
But with this tremendous growth, there is a cost to this tremendous growth.
And so inflation is the likely scenario that we're going to run into.
And even if you look at the last report, the CPI report, we're at 2.7%.
So it hasn't slowed down.
The measures that we're putting into place would only increase inflation.
It wouldn't go down.
So things like gold and silver are going to do really well.
And I can tell you that The bond market and the markets are reacting in a way that they believe inflation is going to come because the 10-year Treasury note, which is assigned to bond traders, has gone up to one of its highest points in the last probably 25 years.
It's at almost 4.7%.
So that is an indication that investors are saying that...
Other assets are much riskier, and I'm going to put my money into bonds, right?
I mean, that's the only reason the 10-year would continue to go up.
The demand is really high.
And also, they believe the risk is high.
Like, we still have, with every this new jubilation and excitement, we still have this tremendous debt.
You know, we handed Trump $37 trillion debt bubble, right?
So how does anybody fix that?
And he's going to try the strategies that he believes, and I think some of them are good.
But they're going to have an effect on the stock market.
They're having an effect on the bond market.
And they're going to have an effect on the commodities market.
The other thing to keep in mind with Mexico...
25% tariff.
Most of the silver in the world is mined.
The majority of the silver in the world is mined in Mexico.
So if that happens and he tariffs the silver coming into this country, that means the cost to acquire silver in this country is going to go up by 25%.
Now, I don't know if these are going to happen.
Maybe February 1st is not going to happen.
But if you just took everything at face value, that means that silver could get...
It could get a lot more expensive.
And so if you're a buyer, if you're looking to get in the market, you're going to buy things now.
People are going to buy things before they go up.
So I think those are some of the things that I see happening that people are concerned about.
And then, as you probably know, living where you live...
The stock market and the markets hate this kind of volatility.
They want more stability.
And so the stock market's near an all-time high, and there's going to be a lot of measures that come out over the next year that could put the stock market in a bad place.
For instance, if he lays off all the people he's going to lay off, unemployment should go up pretty significantly.
And the markets...
They don't react well to higher unemployment.
That's one of the things.
We've had it pretty steady.
Now, I'm saying a lot of these jobs are probably jobs that should be getting rid of.
But who's going to replace those jobs?
Let me tell you what you do, Colin Plume, which I think is the most important.
You're not talking about...
You're not a political analyst.
You react to whatever he does.
If he does this, you react.
A, B, you sit back and you say, tell me what you're going to do and I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
You're not necessarily grading whether tariffs make sense.
Does he know what he's doing?
We're not talking about that.
Your job is to be reactive and to be able to plan investment strategies and the like and irrespective, let me hold this up again, silver is it.
And people, again, I'm going to put a link to this, because it's...
And I want to say this again.
There's something almost...
People have a resistance.
Like, it's not cool to talk about silver.
You know what I mean?
It's like, what are you, an idiot?
Did you just do what the man said?
This has happened the whole time.
The 16 years I've been in the business, that's always been the thing.
When I started gold, silver, like, what are you doing?
Why are you in that?
People would ask me why.
And then the last few years, everyone's...
Kind of changed their tune.
They understand it more now.
And I think that once the cat was out of the bag in terms of inflation, and you saw the Federal Reserve say, we had 9% inflation.
Once that happened, even though inflation was always higher than when they reported, but once people saw that, they saw electricity costs go up a few hundred percent and food costs go up dramatically, they started going, you know what?
Maybe gold does make sense.
Maybe silver is something.
I just think it's fundamentals of what we're looking at.
And I think that when you look at the charts of most of the wealth, like when I look at the stock market, it's still these top seven companies, right?
And a lot of it is based on AI.
A lot of it is based on the promise of AI.
And I think a lot of the AI will do things.
That are powerful and it will save us time and money.
And I think there's going to be about a 90% churn rate of a lot of AI programs that will do nothing.
And we're basing, the stock market today is based on a promise that has not been delivered.
And so that's the thing that always concerns me is that you look at the multiples for some of these companies.
I mean, they're trading at multiples that we haven't seen.
Since like the early 2000s, I mean, in terms of valuations, NVIDIA and a lot of these companies.
So these are things to keep in mind.
And I think that, you know, ultimately I do think a lot of the things that he's going to try to get past and try to do are going to be really beneficial long term.
I think the more government waste that we can get rid of, the idea that there may not be tax, I mean, it's a really exciting idea.
The thing that really concerns me is that...
Is he going to hold hard on tariffs and we still have tax?
If we just hold hard on tariffs and we don't reduce people's taxes, then they're just really paying more money for goods in the short term.
And that won't be a good thing.
And that won't, and it'll make people less likely to spend money, which is really what the economy grows on, right?
People spending and going out and, you know, this capitalistic, that's how you grow this economy is you get more entrepreneurs, you make more products, you bring it more here.
But, you know, if the cost of goods is going up pretty dramatically, we have to, we really do have to be careful of how that's going to work.
And, you know, as much as I, And I think it's exciting.
Also, at the end of the day, these guys are, they're entrepreneurs and they're capitalists.
And so we do have to be careful that, you know.
This whole good idea of them coming in to fix the country is really just another way for them to profit, right?
Oh, absolutely.
Listen, the other day, and by the way, we should also change something.
I like to think about what we're talking about.
Not to be punny, Colin, but what we're talking about is fundamentals.
Think about what we're doing.
You can use it.
I'm sure it's been said before.
You can talk about all that great stuff, but the fundamentals never change.
By the way, the other day we were talking about TikTok.
Do you think for one minute?
Mark Zuckerberg, if you can't read that, I don't want to get into that.
The point is, I'm not trying to be...
I'm happy.
Personally, I hope the country's on its way.
But, bottom line is simply this.
Somebody's watching right now and says, alright, I want to get involved in this.
What do I do?
First of all, I'm going to go and I'm going to get this book and we're going to have a link to Amazon.
The book is absolutely fascinating because I never realized how important silver was.
I swear, I don't know why.
Silver and gold, silver was like the stepchild.
Yeah, you never thought about it.
Yeah, that's the whole thing.
Uh, it's an industrial metal.
That's a necessity.
Um, yeah.
How do they get involved?
So basically, I mean, in essence, what you're doing is, and I, and I like the visual of it is just, is like, you're turning this right into this.
And I, and I remember when I, you know, when I started the business in 2007, you know, this idea gold was sitting around $800 an ounce, right?
This was, so that's what this, this is pretty close.
It's like 800 bucks.
This is $800.
This was eight, this was $800.
Right.
And Fast forward to now, you know, these dollars are worth a lot less.
I mean, imagine, just remember what you could buy in 2008, how much you could buy.
This is worth, you know, it's almost going to hit its all-time high, $2,700 an ounce.
So you're just transferring one medium of exchange into another one, right?
And that's really what you're doing.
This is the oldest money of the world.
It's been around for 5,000 years.
And so we help you do that.
We help you, whatever it's in the stock market, in a 401k, an IRA, or you have cash.
We help you move from fiat or equities into a tangible investment.
And that's all we do.
We don't do anything else.
This is our focus.
So if you want us to store metal or we ship it to you, whatever you want us to do, we can do it.
If you want us to do an IRA, we'll do that.
But we're your partner in this very specific thing that we do.
Since I've been at this company, we started Noble Gold almost nine years.
We've sold over $2 billion in gold and silver.
We've shipped well over a billion dollars in gold and silver.
We obviously store metal for people too.
It's funny.
I had a guy recently ask me, tell me about the shipping.
Do they get lost?
Do they get this?
During COVID, we had some situations because The UPS and FedEx guys didn't want to go all the way to the door because they were worried about catching COVID.
Right.
And it's terrible.
They would, like, kind of put it on the doorstep and then run, right, kind of away.
Since then, knock on wood, I mean, we have a very unique process of how we ship and how we keep in touch with you.
And really, it's almost too much.
We keep calling and reminding you and texting you.
But we haven't had anything happen in many years.
And it's because we take this so serious.
You send us money.
We're going to get it to you.
We're going to get you the right medal.
And then when you want to get out of it, we had a client this year, or excuse me, last year, that wanted to transition from one medal to the other.
And he had made almost a million dollars profit with us.
And he started buying right at the beginning of COVID.
So he made a million dollars and he wanted to switch out.
So we handled that metal-to-metal exchange for him, handled it very smoothly and easily.
So whether you're coming in or going out, we help you.
And I think in today's world...
That is really important.
You want a two-way street with a reputable company in the industry.
So when you make a big profit, you want to be able to take that profit too, right?
And so we were able to help that client able to do that.
And that's who we are.
We're on the phone, old school like you.
You take a phone call.
You talk to people.
We don't have an app.
You're talking to a live person, and we make sure that you're up.
Let me tell you something.
Your response, your ratings are through the roof.
You know, this is brutal.
People are jerks today.
I mean, you can be 90% great, and somebody's like, son of a bitch!
So when your numbers are high, that means you're godlike.
And the next thing, imagine somebody trying to be a porch pirate.
With gold.
And he grabs his box and he's wondering, what the hell is this?
Yeah, because we make everyone sign for the package, Lionel.
But what was happening in COVID is that they didn't want to wait for this.
And they were doing things outside of our agreement with them.
So I just want to be clear.
You do have to sign for the package.
You do have to show your ID.
It was, you know, obviously a wild time in the world.
Well, that turned out to be a flop.
In any event, I don't want to get into that.
But let me also tell you something.
There is something about holding gold or silver.
Holding it.
Remember the picture recently?
We had New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez.
Gold Bars Betrayal 00:01:57
And they showed gold bars.
And people looked at it like, what's that?
It's like, he's not a...
Pirate ship.
They have these.
Colin, you can't believe the people said, really?
He said, yes!
The kilo bar was the bar that he received, actually.
This is a kilo.
And I did a whole story about this on my YouTube channel that I was talking about how when he got it for his bribe, it was worth like $65,000.
And by the time he got indicted, it was worth $80,000.
And I showed the analogy that...
Half-joking that if you're going to take a bribe, take it in gold because it goes up more than the dollar.
But yeah, this was exactly what he bought, was a kilo of...
What is that worth right there, right now?
Right now, what's that worth?
This is worth about close to $80,000, yeah.
I don't know why that...
It's heavy.
Yeah.
It's heavy.
It better be heavy or else it ain't gold.
And then he bought Colin Plume.
Always a pleasure.
It has always been so great to work with you.
Everybody loves you.
Let me just go through this again.
The book is called Silver is the New Oil.
And we're going to have this available, a link.
I recommend this heartily because not only that, you learn so much about something that you never thought about.
Just metals and metalism and the like.
So that's that.
Also...
LionelNationGold.com.
That's the link.
If you call 877-646-5347, make sure you saw us.
Make sure you mention Lionel Nation because that means a lot so that they know where this is coming from.
And always, my friend, I wish you nothing but the best.
Let's talk again.
Right off the bat, 2025 is going to be a great, great year for so many people.
And it is always a pleasure, my dear friend, Colin Bloom from Noble Gold Investments.
Have a great day, sir, and thank you.
