Pratica di Shadowing: A Once in a Lifetime Financial Reset is Coming. (Why Gold is Next) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Something weird happened this week, and I haven't really been able to stop thinking about it.

Bank of America's chief strategist, a guy called Michael Hartnett, he put out a chart, and I saw it, and it stopped me in my tracks for a minute.

And it's literally just two lines.

I'll put them on the screen for you here so you can see them.

And these lines have moved together since 1978, basically since sort of, you know, gold standard exploded.

And one of the lines is productivity, so how much the economy actually gets done.

And the other is how good regular people feel about the economy.

And for 50 years, they moved together.

Productivity goes up, people feel richer.

Productivity goes down, people feel it in their gut.

Every single time, it was the same thing.

But this week, both of them fell off a cliff at the same time.

And that's the first time this has happened since 2008.

And then on top of that, Bank of America reminds us that we've spent 1.5 trillion on AI,

and his words are, there's scant evidence yet of an economy-wide productivity gain.

So all that money and productivity is actually going down.

And then he adds one more line, which is, sometimes Main Street, you and me, knows what Wall Street doesn't.

So the real economy is cracking.

Ordinary people feel it.

And Wall Street's still up there telling everybody it's all fine you know

and while the news is still doing ai miracles

and soft landings guess what the central banks have done albert just told me they've bought a record amount of

gold in a single quarter in the middle of a gold crash where apparently gold is all over

and nobody really puts these two together

so what we got real economy breaking central banks hoarding gold

like never before the biggest banks on the planet saying it could run to 6 000

or higher from here

and again people think it's three different stories i think they're

wrong i think it is one thing happening by the end

of this short video here you're going to see exactly how this fits together what's coming

and what you can actually do about it before it turns up on your doorstep

or in your portfolio

and oh yeah then i'm gonna have to uh have you seen the let's slow down ai agreement between open AI, Anthropic and Elon, just to throw that into the mix.

That's also very, very important to understand.

Now, if you're wondering and you're worried where Winston is today, Winston's got pancreatitis, the poor little thing.

So Albert is today sitting in and doing all the hard research.

Albert is our daddy cat who fathered five kittens without us asking for it.

That will be the last time he's done that.

I know.

Ouch.

So ton of information in the next 50 minutes.

And therefore, I put it together, or Albert rather has, into a free report you can download and read in your own time.

So the central bank buying, the productivity stuff, the bank targets, what's happening to gold, all that stuff is in one place, FelixPrenn.org.

No, it's not FelixPrenn.org, is it?

It's FelixFrens.org slash gold reset.

We need to fix that link.

FelixFrens.org slash gold reset.

The correct link is in the description down below.

And the reason I'm telling you this is most people are

going to find all of this out from headlines in about six months or 12 months or 18 months.

The fact that you're here means you're special.

Seriously, you should pat yourself on the shoulder for actually consuming something educational.

So let me show you the machine first.

Back to that Bank of America chart first, because everything hangs off this, right?

And Albert is going to explain it.

Since 1978, how people feel and how productive the economy is, has been going up and down together, which makes a lot of sense, right?

Factories get more efficient, tech makes things cheaper, people get more done in an hour, and they feel it.

They feel better off, the stock market goes up, and this has been going on for 50 years.

Now, look at the right-hand side here of that chart.

A trillion and a half dollars have poured into AI.

The biggest tech spending boom there has ever been.

We've never spent more money on a single technology than now.

And guess what?

Productivity, which is the light blue line here, you always do wonder why the lunatics who run Wall Street use blue and blue on a chart, right?

I mean, really.

But that line is going down.

Why on earth is productivity go down?

And why should you be concerned about that?

Well, because all AI stocks are priced for perfection here, right?

This is a screenshot from the Winston app where we look at how NVIDIA is priced, for example.

You know, Shining Beacon, they're priced for perfection.

And literally, as I was putting together the notes for this video, So yesterday, over the weekend, I read this.

And again, it popped into my Winston app, literally here.

Altman and Musk back AI model, Modi's call to slow down AI.

And I was like, what?

I'm sorry, what?

What did Winston just tell me?

And I'll put a link down below, by the way.

If you guys want to get your personal newspaper and what's happening with your stocks and what actually matters, that's what the Winston app's all about.

I'll put a free link down below for you guys.

You can try that for a month.

No risk.

Now, the Financial Times run this article that the three men who are building AI, which is Dario Emodil, or Emodi,

I can't remember if you're going to answer it, but he runs Anthropic, right?

He likes complex names.

We've got Sam Altman, you know, the charitable man running open AI.

And then we have Elon Musk.

And they all came out within a few hours of each other and said more or less the same thing.

We need to slow this down.

Now, the anthropic guy wrote a really long essay, and he said the whole thing's moving too fast because AI started building the next AI, and we could lose control.

He talked about a swarm of these things being able to take over the internet inside of a year.

Now, these three people don't agree on anything.

They're rivals.

They're suing each other.

They seem to loathe each other.

And Altman agreed.

Musk agreed.

Just think about what that is for a second.

The people who got rich telling you AI is changing everything.

100

It's amazing.

101

Suddenly the ones saying we should maybe slow this down.

102

So when the drivers of the boom start doing that, it's important.

103

Why?

104

Because it's what's holding up your retirement.

105

It's what's holding up your 401k.

106

It's what's holding up the entire stock market.

107

Let me just give you one number.

108

If you were invested in the S&P 500, which you basically all are, 70% of your gains this year,

109

which have been pretty decent, come from 10 stocks and only 10 stocks.

110

And all these 10 stocks are all AI stocks.

111

So without that, the S&P would not have gone up.

112

It would have basically done bugger all.

113

In fact, it might actually collapse.

114

So the confidence line falling at the same time as these AI champions are losing confidence in AI,

115

well, that's going to be interesting, isn't it?

116

Interesting is a silly word, isn't it?

117

But you already feel it, right?

118

Your groceries, what do they do?

119

They get cheaper?

120

Your rent get cheaper?

121

No, nothing got cheaper, no matter how much AI got talked about.

122

So mainstream, just like Bank of America says, can see this and understand it,

123

often before the lunatics that run the financial world can sorry the wonderful bankers at goldman sachs

124

when mainstream media tells you gold crashed it's over

125

ask yourself who's right here is it mainstream media

126

or is it maybe maybe maybe just the central banks are buying all of it

127

so there's a link here the productivity collapse is the reason

128

the central banks are hoarding gold they conceal the real economy

129

they know the ai miracle hasn't turned up yet it might still

130

but it hasn't yet and they're getting set for the day when everyone else works this out.

131

And the uncomfortable bit is this.

132

The day when everybody works this out, well, you don't get a warning.

133

Nobody's going to ring a bell or something.

134

It's just going to show up in your life as your money buying less than it did before.

135

So the real question isn't really whether you believe me about gold, say.

136

It's whether you've got an actual plan for when this lasts.

137

and most people, and I say that with love, most people do not.

138

And that's really what I want to talk to you about today.

139

Some of you right now are going, okay, Felix, great, central banks, bricks, the reset, fascinating.

140

What do we do with all of this?

141

What do we do with this tomorrow morning?

142

That's actually the right question to be asking.

143

And I'll be honest with you, I've written down my plan, my own plan, exactly what I'm doing with my money for the rest of this year, like what I'm buying, what I'm saying,

144

went away from, the timing of it, stamped, it's a written plan.

145

Because you can't sit and look at the stuff.

146

Central banks front running everybody, the Fed quietly eating its own debt.

147

You know that the Fed now earns half of America's 10-year-old debt?

148

I mean, debt that has 10 years to run, half of it.

149

It's a Ponzi scheme.

150

Goldman Sachs is shouting gold's going to go to 6,000.

151

So you can watch it happen or you can make a plan.

152

And my first thought was, right, I'll write it up and I'll hand it to you.

153

I thought I'd just give you guys a PDF.

154

And I have actually done that before.

155

And I know exactly how it goes.

156

You download it, you skim read it for about a minute and a half, and then it would go and sit on your desktop or phone.

157

And, you know, amongst a million other PDFs you saved a year and a half ago, never opened again.

158

So be honest, right?

159

We've all got that folder of stuff that we really should get to, but we never do because life gets in the way.

160

So I'm not going to be doing that this time.

161

What I want to do instead is sit down with you properly

162

and i'm going to do that for about 90 minutes this coming weekend

163

and i'll walk you through the lot what the institutions are up to

164

and why what i'm doing about it myself

165

and mainly how you put together your own plan for the next 90 days

166

which is basically takes us to more

167

or less till the end of the year not mine copied and pasted

168

because my situation is different from yours build around your situation your money where you are actually are right now

169

because that's the whole point of it that's the whole point

170

of this community right not to give you a hot stock tip

171

but to make you aware

172

and now i want to take you to a place where you can actually get

173

that plan it's completely free completely free so you're going to show up for

174

that go to 90dayplaybook.org there's a link down below in the description i can't stop saying it

175

that way and write show up in the comments you're going to show up for yourself right

176

because they're going to be two kinds of people here in six months

177

or 12 months or 18 months the ones who sat down

178

and learned this why gold was still at what is it 4 000

179

and a bit

180

and they were the ones who like oh i knew about

181

this oh i didn't do something about it right i i

182

prefer you were the first kind of person that's really the

183

whole reason i run this that's the satisfaction i get from this

184

so seats are free go get yourself a link

185

and let's continue diving into the story

186

so we all know gold's off its high right it's dropped 20 percent in a bit

187

and every headline says yeah gold's dumb blah right the war didn't help no it's all going down um

188

and then they're saying interest rates are going to go up and therefore gold's going to go down.

189

How does that work?

190

What's the theory on that?

191

I was actually asked that on Kitco the other day.

192

That's a great channel.

193

And my answer was this.

194

Yes, normally interest rates go up.

195

You can get 5% from Uncle Sam, the government, risk-free, if you believe that.

196

You're going to take that, whereas gold costs you money to store.

197

So the institutions will sell gold and they'll buy the 5% bond.

198

But because they're expecting very high inflation

199

because of all the money printing the government buying its own debt

200

which is just like right frugazi ponzi scheme um they're actually not doing that

201

and we can see it in the data central banks bought

202

the most gold they ever have in a quarter ever right

203

so 40 billion dollars they bought in gold

204

and that's official we can't see all the data not every

205

country discloses it i think the number is probably a lot higher so they were buying it why Why?

206

Because they want more of it.

207

And it got cheaper.

208

They like it when it gets cheaper.

209

I talk to like gold investors, I'm like, what do you think about the gold price?

210

And they say, I hope it's gonna go down a lot because I'd love that opportunity, right?

211

And again, I'm not telling you to buy it.

212

I'm not a financial advisor, but the 76 guys running the central banks around the world

213

to participate in these surveys literally the guys who print the money

214

and the sovereign wealth funds 89 of them said they expect

215

gold reserves to go up over the next 12 months expect right and

216

if you're wondering who's buying well the poles poland uh they

217

were a fairly ordinary holder to like literally now being probably the most aggressive buyer in the world

218

that we know about and they literally asked the head of their central bank, why are you buying all this gold?

219

He said, we don't trust what's coming.

220

And then, of course, there is China, third year running as a massive net buyer, right?

221

And their official number is probably lower than what the reality is.

222

I haven't got any proof of that, but that's just generally what my friends in the Western world tell me.

223

And you've got Singapore, they doubled their reserves, the Czech Republic, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, they're all buying.

224

Now, we had some selling as part of the reason gold went down.

225

Turkey had to sell, some of the Middle Eastern countries had to sell.

226

Russia had to sell some of it, and that's all war-related, right?

227

Just war-related.

228

They're using it as exactly what it's intended for, you know, that rainy day fund.

229

And then this next one, again, no one seems to be talking about this properly,

230

and it could be the biggest change to how global money works since 1971 when the U.S ended the gold standard, BRICS.

231

Now, you've probably heard people banging on about BRICS currency, some new money that's going to kill the dollar, and the media loves laughing at it.

232

And no, it isn't going to kill the dollar.

233

And there also is no BRICS currency because India doesn't want it.

234

Brazil isn't too keen on it.

235

It's not happening, but something else is happening.

236

And it's bigger and it's called the unit.

237

It isn't a currency.

238

It is a settlement system, a way for these countries to trade with each other without touching the dollar.

239

And it's backed by 40% gold and the other 60% is the Basque of their own countries.

240

Now, it is 2026 and we're backing a new international settlement system with gold.

241

So for the first time since Nixon nixed the gold standard, somebody is building a serious international money system with gold sitting at the core of it.

242

And it's being built on the blockchain and it's designed to go around swift.

243

And it means and it's meant to switch on in Q4 this year, just a couple of weeks.

244

And the countries behind it are sitting on more than 6,000 tons of gold between them, which is a fairly serious slice of all the gold that's ever been dug out of the ground.

245

So this unit is an insurance against people getting kicked out of the SWIFT system, which is what we used to send funds internationally. And what is gold?

246

It's an insurance against inflation or the dollar losing value.

247

So where does all of this leave the price of gold then?

248

And what should we do with our investments?

249

Well, let's look at the big banks, what they're actually saying.

250

The research desks are Goldman Sachs.

251

They say end of this year, our price target is, and today gold is sitting, as I'm recording this, at about 4,350, is Goldman Sachs, 4,900.

252

And they call it structural demand, sufficient to absorb higher for longer interest rates.

253

They're basically saying we don't care what the Fed does.

254

Gold isn't going to care what the Fed does.

255

It's going to keep going up.

256

JP and Morgan, the people who really care about the world and the little man,

257

they're saying the structural driver is intact and they have a $6,000 price target and then for next year 6,300.

258

NG, actually quite an important bank in the commodities world, and they're basically saying the path up is going to be bumpier, but the core drivers haven't changed.

259

So look at the gap.

260

Gold's 4,300 today.

261

So we're looking at 13% to 46% upside if these guys are correct.

262

I'm not saying they will.

263

But these are the firms that are usually telling you, you know, buy the S&P 500.

264

They're called AI the next industrial revolution, which is actually properly true.

265

So their models are telling them that the buying is going to overwhelm everything else, no matter what interest rates do.

266

And none of these, by the way, as far as I'm aware, factor in the unit if that comes to fruition.

267

None of that accounts for, well, what if the economy falters?

268

What if the debt gets even worse

269

and the Fed has to bail out the government even more than it currently is doing?

270

And what if the productivity increase isn't coming?

271

All of those things, in my humble opinion, would be highly inflationary and therefore good for gold.

272

And I know some of you are thinking, oh, Felix is trying to scare me.

273

But I'm not.

274

I'm not here to sell you gold.

275

I don't sell gold.

276

I have zero affiliation ever with any company.

277

other than my own, because I like to be able to say whatever I want.

278

So I never ever take any sponsorship from anybody.

279

But you might be thinking, but hang on, the dollar has always survived, right?

280

Hasn't America always sorted things out?

281

It's fair enough.

282

So let me show you the last time we stood where we're standing right now.

283

Go back to the 1940s.

284

World War II spending shopped America's debt past 120%, which sounds kind of familiar, right?

285

It's exactly where we are right now more or less actually.

286

The debt was so big the government could not let interest rates rise.

287

If interest rates went up the interest payments would have swallowed the budget whole.

288

So in 1942 the Federal Reserve did a deal.

289

It promised to print whatever it took to buy government bonds

290

and pin longer term interest rates down at just two and a half percent of level no matter what happened.

291

And on paper it worked.

292

The debt ratio came down over the next 10 years because Borrowing was kept cheap artificially.

293

So I'm not dragging you through 1940s history because that's the exact move.

294

The central bank stepping in to swallow the government's own debt.

295

It's happening again right now.

296

Look at this chart here on the screen.

297

I hope you can see it clearly.

298

The Federal Reserve now owns more than half of every U.S bond coming due in the next 10 to 15 years.

299

More than half.

300

That's half a trillion dollars.

301

That is not normal monetary policy.

302

That's the central bank soaking up the government's debt because the market, the free market, won't take it at a price the US can afford.

303

It is 1942 again, hopefully without World War II.

304

Now, do you know what that did to people, ordinary people, last time around?

305

Inflation went from about 10% to about 20% by 1947.

306

The buying power of every dollar people had, and carefully saved, got cut in half in just six years.

307

That's what a reset actually feels like.

308

It isn't some dramatic crash on a Tuesday afternoon.

309

It is a slow bleed, a little bit every month.

310

groceries cost a bit more rent ticks up a bit more your savings buy a little less

311

and by the time you actually really notice half your money is gone

312

and the people who got hurt the worst then well this

313

is what gets me they were not the ones who lost

314

their jobs no it was the careful ones it was the

315

savers it was the people who did everything right money in the bank government bonds sensible you know

316

and the government's answer to its own debt quietly melted them away they didn't even saw it come

317

because it happened a little at a time and that's how these things work they don't announce themselves.

318

So run the checklist for today.

319

Debt's over 120%.

320

Yep.

321

The Fed's stuck between inflation and keeping the government solvent.

322

Yep.

323

The Fed's buying its own debt again.

324

Yep.

325

You just saw the chart.

326

Productivity is falling despite record spending.

327

We got that.

328

Confidence is on the floor.

329

Yep.

330

And then the one thing that's completely new, foreign governments are pulling their gold home and building their own alternative systems.

331

That actually didn't happen in the 40s.

332

Back then, the world trusted the dollar.

333

There is no other option.

334

Today, there is one actively being built, backed by 6,100 tons of gold.

335

And that could potentially make this event bigger than the 1940s one.

336

So let me finish with the three mistakes I'm watching almost everybody make right now.

337

He dodged these, and I honestly think you come out on the far side of this in pretty good shape.

338

Actually, it could be in really good shape.

339

So the first thing is you treat a 22% drop in gold as the end of the story.

340

It isn't.

341

Gold went from $250 to $5,600.

342

And we've had plenty of 22% pourbacks after a record high.

343

It is normal.

344

It is healthy.

345

But at least it's healthy for the lunatics trading it on the way down, which is our COMEX friends.

346

So the only thing that matters is what comes next.

347

And I just outlined what I see as important for gold.

348

The second mistake I see people doing is thinking, oh, I just buy the index fund, I'm safe, I'm covered, right?

349

Now, not investing is far, far, far, far worse than being invested in the index fund.

350

It's actually a good thing to be invested in the index fund.

351

I highly encourage it.

352

I'm not a financial advisor.

353

I'm not telling you what to do.

354

I just want to make it very clear.

355

Don't sell all your stocks, at least not on my account, right?

356

You can do whatever you like, but that's what I'm saying.

357

But most people never clock what's inside their safe S&P 500.

358

70% of the returns this year came from just 10 stocks.

359

So when someone says, I own 500 companies, I'm diversified.

360

No, you're not.

361

70% of your money is riding on 10 names.

362

It's all AI and tech.

363

And it's the most expensive, most crowded stocks on the planet that we've ever seen.

364

So they're priced for the AI miracle, which may or may not happen.

365

But if productivity keeps sliding the way Bank of America is showing it, well, those 10 names that most of your money is running on are the most exposed.

366

So you need to know what you own.

367

Don't run out and panic and sell everything.

368

You just need to know what you own.

369

That's what I'm saying.

370

And then third, and this is the big one, people just wait.

371

People just want to wait.

372

Everything I've shown you today, the central bank buying, the BRICS system, the productivity, the Fed buying its own debt, the bank's targets, it's all happening now.

373

This isn't next year.

374

This isn't someday.

375

It isn't in the future.

376

No, it's now.

377

And therefore, I think the opportunity is now.

378

And the opportunity closes the second the rest of the market catches up.

379

If you sit and wait for the headline, you know, Fed forced to cut or gold BRICS 6,000 or something, well, you're buying after the move, right?

380

At the price that already includes the news.

381

Like a lot of people bought the top of the gold market at the beginning of the year.

382

Yes, you can be late.

383

Now, if you have a 20-year window, it doesn't matter as much, but you can be late.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
