[1:54] Silver though looks very dangerous to me. Okay. So, I would just say if you've been longing the trade, either take profits or find a way to hedge your position. I do think we are in a secular bull market uh in commodities and in the precious metals complex. So, this is not to say that the bull market is over. It is to say that we are right for a very significant near-term pullback

[12:15] What I'll tell you is data back to 1948 that in an employment slowdown, when non-farm payrolls get to 0.6% year-over-year, you are in a recession 100% of the time. 11 for 11... you could build the assumption that a recession is probably already starting

[32:15] So I think 3.75% is a gimme. I think we're going to blow below that in the next 12 months. I wouldn't be surprised if we get into call it a a three to three and a half% range between now and this point next year.

The prediction claimed the US Dollar would fall to 'new cycle lows' by end of year; the period low of $96.22 on 2025-09-17 represents a 4.7% decline from the prediction date price of $101, confirming that new cycle lows were indeed reached during the prediction window.

[37:21] I think I think let me just add by the way uh the Fed will be scrambling to cut interest rates in the second half of the year

The Fed did cut interest rates in the second half of 2025, beginning in September 2025 and making three consecutive quarter-point cuts (September, October, December), lowering the federal funds rate to 3.50–3.75%. However, the cuts were measured and deliberate, not a 'scramble' — they were debated and even contested within the FOMC, with the December cut passing only 9-3. The prediction's framing of 'scrambling' implies urgency or panic that didn't materialize, but the directional call (cuts in H2 2025) was correct.
