[11:26] And now my prediction is that it's back over $50 headed to 100 again. It's never going to go back under 50 because of all the inflation that we've seen in the past.

The U.S. economy did not enter stagflation by year-end 2025. Real GDP grew 2.1% for the full year, with strong Q2 (3.8%) and Q3 (4.4%) growth, and core PCE inflation remained at ~2.8% — elevated but not 'stagflationary.' While Q1 contracted and tariffs did raise prices modestly, the economy proved resilient, contradicting the stagflation claim.

The prediction claimed the dollar 'will continue to face pressure,' which is a bearish claim of ongoing weakness. The period low of $96.22 (2.7% decline from prediction date price of $98.94) confirms the dollar did face downward pressure during the period, and the closing price of $98.28 (-0.7%) also shows net weakness by the target date, validating the bearish prediction.

[20:11] No, I think there's more opportunity in the mining companies now than than in gold. So, I'm stressing uh my investments in in mining companies uh over gold. I think gold has made its big move and I think it's going to struggle from here for for a while.

The prediction claimed gold would 'struggle from here for a while' (bearish outlook), but gold actually increased 29.8% by the target date and reached a period high of $4556.3 (36.7% above the prediction date price), demonstrating sustained strength rather than struggle.
