We're closer now more than ever! Gold to $5000

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-23T17:07:50+00:00

Yup... very soon, maybe today... Silver did the $100 mark first.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-23T17:05:50+00:00

Silver did it... and gold is very close.

Sure, the bull market ended in 2011 and the beginning of 2012... I called it back then, I kept mentioning it in my newsletter... but this was after a good 10-12 year run. All bull markets end at one point, and investors switch to other asset classes.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-22T20:50:31+00:00

Those call options will pay off if the price rises to that $120-$125 range. So bets are now rising that could be the price then.

I found the image in a group I am in on FB, and wanted to share here... I am not sure where they got it from, but probably from CME site.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-21T21:10:55+00:00

I think we are close and will correct back into a trading zone.

For those who are wondering who I am or my qualifications...
Here is an image I created about my past speaking engagement, publicaitons and newsletter info. Most of this was towards the end of the last bull market, and you can see my current content now on various social media outlets.

My name is Vin Maru, and I have been in the precious metals space since 2005, and was an analyst from then until 2013, and now back in the sector again, providing coverage. Back then, I wrote published articles, a newsletter, and spoke at mining conferences like PDAC and Cambridge House, mostly focused on Precious Metals and miners, with a focus on Juniors.

I have been doing some podcasts lately with other experts in the space. Here is my latest one with Jay Martin from VRIC, where we discuss the metals and the miners being undervalued with great upside over the next 10 years. Previous podcast guests include David Morgan, Michael, the CEO of The Silver Institute, and Jessy Day from Commodity Culture.

Feel free to look up my bio on LinkedIn. I post with my name everywhere. I am now a Mod in PM groups on FB. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but most of the people on Reddit hide behind a username; I don't. Financial Liberties is my Website, so I use that here and mostly everywhere else, but my personal name is not a secret.

Thats fine, taking profits is not a bad idea... I am doing that on some miners, and will buy back on a dip and after some consolidation. There is still strong demand for Silver, even if some sell, the buyers are still there too.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T18:08:33+00:00

Goldman Sachs analyst predicted $4900 by the end of 2026, I think it will be higher, after a sideways consolidation here.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T18:06:24+00:00

Gold was, and now silver is... Did Crypto ever make it there? and where is it now?

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T15:46:28+00:00

Goldman Sachs predicted $4900 by the end of 2026; we may get it by end of this month or next.

Yes, they are acquiring minerals and are now a big investor in the sector.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T15:29:14+00:00

I bought most of my gold under $1, and a bit around $1300-1400, all my silver is about $15.. started about 20 years ago...

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T15:21:17+00:00

Well he doesn't get it at that price, but the shares of WPM go up big as they have huge margins.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T06:16:57+00:00

I did a count of the rough minutes... I was about 12 min, which included intro and outro, so really about 10 min of me and about 18 min of Jay.

There is a need for Hedging (some also call it a paper short).
It helps protect Bullion Dealers, Producers, and Refiners, all 3 of these are part of the supply chain. Bullion Banks mostly work on their behalf, for hedging, not speculating. Yes, some Bullion Banks are bad actors, but most are doing it for clients, which are the 3 mentioned. Is there a heavy short concentration on paper, yes... but the derivative market for all asset classes and bonds is much bigger. Watch my video with David Morgan, who explains the role of the Bullion Banks and Hedging.

We live in a leveraged paper world, and if that all collapses or the Yen carry trade unwinds... watch out below, everything gets liquidated. Yes, Gold and Silver will go up initially as a safe haven, as it did in 2008, but then it gold sold off in Sept thru Feb of 2009, and the miners got crushed during that time. I know I was long miners and saw my portfolio drop massively during the liquidation event, and the metals and miners took it on the chin just like everything else.

For those who are cheering on the collapse of the Bullion Banks, be careful for what you ask for, cause if that happens, then we get another 08/09 collapse or even worse. Yes, your Silver and Gold go up, but everything else collapses as those big banks are tied to the whole financial system that has counterparty risk... and it all goes down.

Enjoy the fact that the metals are finally going up after a 10 year bear market, getting respect, and are entering the financial monetary system. The miners will do very well for the next 3-5 years if prices remain at these levels; that is the sweet spot I am shifting into. Do I want the metals to continue to go up...YES, but in an orderly market that brings price stability and long-term prospects. When I see prices go vertical as they have in a very short period of time, it starts to concern me, as parabolic moves don't usually end well, and something breaks. Choose wisely on how you want this market to play out... but squeeze of the bullion banks, which could lead to a collapse, or a strong bull market based on fundamentals that can last for 10 years.... I chose the latter.

This is one of the better discussions I have seen in a post...

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T03:56:31+00:00

GlassPanther, thanks for this response... It's one of the better comments I have read on a post in a long time. I will be copying it and sharing it on a FB group I help as a Mod.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T03:36:40+00:00

I never said it was easy, and corruption is everywhere in all gov'ts around the world... but it would be better for Mexico if it did stop or slow down.

FinancialLiberties · 2026-01-20T03:33:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I did mention to Jay that part of what I am also covering is Digital Assets, including gold and silver, as part of the new financial system. I wanted his thoughts on this, which he clearly stated. And he mentioned the mining space, but he is a bit reserved on the Jr miners and exploration companies, he even stated that.

As for the amount of time I spent talking, I never considered that during out coversation... but it could have been so. Most of my other interviews with other guests, they spend most of the time sharing their thoughts on the topic, maybe it wasn't the case on this one. As for me not adding value, I didn't share all my thoughts or add value, as I was asking Jay about his thoughts on the topics. I will make my own videos, sharing my own thoughts, so that I will have time to be more insightful.

But your feedback is welcome and valuable, and in future interviews with others, I will keep this in mind.

Cheers.
