Well, joining us now is Tony Ardibon of Wise Wolf Gold.

And again, as I said yesterday, you saw all this stuff from the European Central Bank,

as well as many mainstream news articles.

It was on Drudge for a couple of days at the top, talking about the fact that now gold has surpassed the holdings of U.S. Treasury bills because people don't trust the American government for some reason.

I don't know why it seems perfectly trustworthy to me, don't you think? But I said, you know, Tony told us about this weeks and weeks ago.

So, you know, we look at the slogan.

Tomorrow's news today, I think Tony has got this weeks or months in advance.

And it's a good thing that he does because I think as volatile as the markets have been,

if you didn't have some sense of the long-term direction things are going, Tony,

you'd be out of business by now.

It's absolutely an essential skill

to survival in this kind of marketplace. So thank you for joining us. Oh, it's great to be with you,

David. And I appreciate I was listening to the show yesterday and putting those things together.

When the media, the mainstream, whenever they put out a headline like that, it doesn't really confirm it for me, but I do feel crazy sometimes.

I'm like way out in front, like, hey, are you watching this metric?

It's interesting because the European Central Bank put out that press release that gold has overtaken U.S.

Treasuries is the number one held reserve asset.

We've known that for a while.

But if you scroll back further into the press releases from the European Central Bank,

it's not, I think it was just about a year ago.

They put out that gold was actually disrupting the monetary system,

that it's, it's, it's destructive.
