[27:52] I don't think the Fed's going to cut much. I think that's a bit of a contrary opinion right now.

[23:52] we think there is further to go for silver and and probably for gold

The prediction claimed silver would 'continue to rise further' with bullish sentiment. The period high of $79.7 (reached on 2025-12-29) represents a 69.3% increase from the prediction date price of $41.43, confirming that silver did indeed rise substantially during the prediction window, validating the bullish claim.

[35:40] this looks like a pretty important break. So, this is we we think threeyear uh either support or resistance is important. This is 5 years. The longer it is, the more important it is. Uh so this is I think a sign that the dollar is in a structural downtrend

The prediction claimed a 'structural downtrend' with a bearish sentiment, but the dollar actually rallied 3.1% from the prediction date ($97.45) to the period high ($100.4), demonstrating an uptrend rather than a downtrend during the prediction window.

[3:55] I'd say yes and yes. I mean again I think the first quarter was flattered and the fact that it was import surging. I mean we're hearing these stats I'm sure you are too of ships that are you know leaving China 50 60% empty and that there's a very real possibility of almost co-like supply chain glitches and dislocations coming up.

[9:27] I think at this point it favors a recession. Now things are obviously very fluid and we've got a president who's extremely mercurial and who knows what he's going to say tomorrow. I think the problem that he's got is he's created tremendous uncertainty. And when businesses and individuals are uncertain about the future, when they're uh when they're confused, what do they tend to do? They tend to sit on their hands. They don't spend as much.

[17:11] And I guess I would just say that it could be right, but it could be right later with after another 10 15% decline, which would be my suspicion is what uh we're looking at.

The prediction claimed a 10-15% decline would occur, but the period low of $5578.64 represents only a 1.27% decline from the prediction date price of $5650.38, falling far short of the claimed 10-15% magnitude.

[23:13] So I think well they are likely to correct. In fact, they have corrected which is something that we wrote about here a few weeks ago. But I think it's going to be a relatively shallow and contained correction for the gold miners and then they'll be up again.

The prediction claimed gold miners would have a 'shallow and contained correction' followed by resuming their upward trend. GDX declined only 7.4% from $48.37 to $44.77 (a shallow correction), and GDXJ declined only 6.0% from $59.69 to $56.11, both qualifying as shallow corrections, and both subsequently resumed strong uptrends reaching 32.5% and 35.4% gains respectively by the target date, exactly matching the prediction's claims.

[25:31] So I think silver has a lot further to go in this bull market for precious metals.

The prediction claimed silver would 'continue rising significantly' in a bull market, and the period high of $79.70 represents a 147.4% gain from the prediction date price of $32.21, far exceeding any reasonable interpretation of 'significant' rise, making this prediction correct.

[34:37] I was very bullish on the yen I thought the yen was a great fragile non-fragile asset and it has it's up 10% this year with a lot of things down. I still think it's going higher. It's correcting a little bit and you know maybe wait it for it to back off a bit more but I think that it's going to go from say 143 to the dollar to 120 maybe even eventually close to 100 to the dollar which would be a big appreciation.

Graded early 2026-03-22. Yen weakened instead of strengthening: USD/JPY went from 144.62 at prediction to 149.33, away from the 120 target. Period low was 142.13 — never approached 120. Would need a ~20% move in 43 days, essentially impossible for a major currency pair.

[34:59] I'm particularly bullish on uranium. Uranium has been hit very hard and it's non-yclical. I mean really the demand for uranium has nothing to do with the global economy or the US economy. There's there's just enormous numbers of new facilities, new nuclear facilities. Three more just announced in Poland. Uh China just announced another 10. So that you've got demand increasing rapidly for uranium and the supply is very constrained.

The prediction claimed uranium would 'rise significantly' due to increasing demand and constrained supply; the period high of $20.5 represents a 35.1% gain from the prediction date price of $15.17, which clearly demonstrates a significant rise and validates the bullish thesis, and the price closed at $19.47 (28.3% gain) by the target date.
