So it's realmoneyshow.com. Real easy to use. Darren, how was the week? The week that was, we have a rise in both gold and silver, and the market looked very good. Paul and Jeremy did a good job last week talking about the technical side of the marketplace, and the market has been poised to move. We had been talking about 1270 and the importance of 1270 and the price of gold, for some time, and there was a major resistance level. Now with the breaking, we breached 1270 early in the week, and right now trading in the 1320 range, that peg's gold up against resistance, which is at about 1365. And the gain on the year so far, year to date, is 10% for gold, which is respectable. If you're an investor and you bought this week, congratulations. It's nice to have you come on board. And with silver, the same thing can be said. We were looking for two closes above 2050 and mark my words. We got those two closes above 2050. Today, as we're talking on the show, the price of silver right now is at 2150. So year to date, again, about nine to 10% gain for the price of silver as well. Now this week, we witnessed gold and silver. Both prices jump despite the antics of what many call the banker industry, the banking industries. The bankers seem to be in a bit of a dismay, and they tried very much to subdue the price of gold and silver, as well as gold and silver demand. Late Thursday afternoon, we learned that the GLD, which is the major ETF for gold, increased its inventory by a mass of seven and a half tons. And the gold market itself, I mean, it's in backwardation again. So again, technically that's something we're looking for as being bullish, but they don't get that gold right out of the open market. That has to come from somebody who already has it, because that open gold just doesn't exist. So they're probably bringing it in from the bank of the London bank. But again, with respect to the marketplaces, they're poised to move with gold and backwardation. It would be very difficult for them. The plan with backwardation is because some listeners may not have a clue what that is. Well, backwardation is very simple. It's when in the futures market, where we derive spot pricing from for both all commodities, when the future months are being bought up, they're typically at a higher price. So if the price of silver is $20 an ounce now, if I went a year and I wanted to buy a contract for expiry in April of 2015, typically the price should be higher. Should be up near, if it's $21.50, the price should be $21.60, $21.70, $80. Right now, what's happening is that the closest months in the gold market are all higher than the later out months, which means the supply is very tight. And in times past, we have seen that as part of a very bullish set of fundamentals for the short-term investor. So seeing that puts some real, real pressure on people who are buying the market. And in silver in particular, two closes above $21.50, and the market would look very good for $22.25 in that range. So we are expecting the markets to move here and come into Monday, which is a holiday both in the US and Canada. Markets will be thinly traded, but I do expect come Tuesday that both markets will advance on these price moves. Paul, I knew you at one time you were calling for $40.50. So do you think, I mean, is this a first bump? I still think we're going to see $50.60. So if anything, we're going to see $2,000 gold. I thought it would happen last year. It didn't happen. The prices were suppressed. I still think that these markets are waiting to explode. You've got to realize in May 2011, silver was trading at $49.00 and change. Gold was trading at $19.20 in that range, sorry, $19.20. The market got smashed down, literally smashed down as much as 60% on silver. Same time, you know, if we look at 2008, 2009, the stock market also got smashed down pretty good. It's recovered. We were hitting some new highs, but it's still not showing the same basic increase that gold has shown over the last 10 years. Silver's up, you know, since I've been in the business in 2002, we started when silver was $3.80, gold was trading at $250. As we're recording this show on Friday afternoon, silver's trading at $21.50, gold is trading at $1322. So we're still looking, even with this smashed down price, at 400% return, which is not bad. It's an average of about 30% a year, which I don't know too many investments out there that are giving that type of return, except for natural fancy color diamonds that are, you know, basically doubling every four to five years. And it's probably one of the best kept secrets of investing ever is natural fancy color diamonds. But let's, you know, get back to gold and silver. You asked me a question, do I think it's going to move? I think by the end of the year, we're going to see some really nice figures. I'm reading articles on CNBC, somebody I think it was from Union Bank of Switzerland or some other credit suites, you know, they're calling for a $1,000 gold to drop that low. They want it to drop. You know, it's all headfakes. They want you to sell off your position. If you own physical gold silver platinum palladium, you are in a very, very strong position. As long as governments continue printing money, US is buying up, you know, we've got down to tape at a $7, $75 billion a month of bonds and different things that, you know, it's almost a trillion dollars a year that's being bought up in garbage. Hard assets like gold and silver, you know, these are assets that perform natural fancy color diamonds are assets that perform. They have a track record. If we look at countries that are printing money, whether it's Great Britain, you know, they had almost, they were one of the top holders of gold up to 10 years ago, 15 years ago. They sold off the gold when it was $250. Brown was the chance of the exchequer. What a dumb move, you know, even at $1,300 he would have done pretty well in today's market, but they sold the gold. United States supposed to be the biggest holder in gold. Fort Knox hasn't had an audit since what year did it down? Well, since the '50s. Since the '50s. Yeah, it could be empty boxes in the, you know, in the depository for all we know. There's no numbers on the bars. We don't know about it. Getting back to depositories at Guildhall, we can give you the bars, the numbers of the bars that you purchase. Try to get that from someone else. It just doesn't happen. Again, Europe printing up all types of money, Great Britain printing money, Canada printing money, Japan and China, they're pretty good at it too. So if you want to look at hard assets, assets that perform, you have to get into gold and silver, natural fancy colour diamonds. You need to have about 15 to 20 percent. Here comes the pitch, okay? So I'm going to pitch it. You need to own hard assets. We recommend 15 to 20 percent. At Guildhall, you have several choices. You can own it outright. You can buy it. You can take it home for home delivery. But there is some downside to home delivery. You could subject to theft, you could subject to home invasion. Back pain. Back pain, you want to sell it. You've got to run around at the right time to sell it. Positive thing to do is put it in the depository where you can sell it. On a telephone call, you can make it and sell that product or buy product. And the third thing we offer is collateralized financing, where you can put up as little as 30 percent. Darren, why don't you give us an example of collateralized financing? Well, in silver, it's pretty simple. Works like a mortgage, more or less. If you want to buy the whole house, you don't put up all of the money upfront. You use a bank and a lender and you put down a deposit and the rest is paid for you. Over the course of time, the equity grows in the house. And of course, when you want to use that equity, you're free to do it. You want to add a kitchen on. Maybe you use some of the equity in your house to do so. Same with silver. If I wanted to buy 1,000 ounces of silver and put it in the depository right now, I could do so at a cost of around 23,800 US as of today's price. And that's fine. That's one way to do it. It's a great way. And of course, we could provide serial numbers. If you're using, for example, 100 ounce bars, if you'd like to have that. The other way in collateral financing, you could put up as little as 30 percent plus the cost of commission. And for the same 1,000 ounces, instead of laying out 23 or 24,000, you could lay out around $7,500 to $8,000 and you'd own the same 1,000 ounces. You would control it. You would have some debt against the value of that. But as time progresses, you'll be able to buy and sell silver. And we don't day trade silver. But you'll use the profit you have in your account to pay down the equity over time. And of course, go to 100 percent, just as though you would. We don't want our clients maintaining debt over the long term. But when markets are moving, it gives them an extremely excellent opportunity to try and boost that earning potential by using somebody else's money instead of their own. Now, one time commission is applicable on the collateral financing account. On the depository accounts, you can do a couple of different types of commissions. But on the collateral financing account, we go with a one time commission and that commission is charged at the first purchase. And then the buyer can buy and sell that product or any part of that product up until the full amount that they purchased as frequently or infrequently as they like. So collateral financing might not be for everybody. It certainly raises the risk. But with that, it raises the ability to get a better return percentage wise for the client. And if you're interested in either of those, of course, you can go right directly to the website, give us a call directly. And of course, any of our brokers will walk you through both types of the investments if you think they're for you. The number is one, eight, seven, seven, two, one, four, 17, 11. And the real money show.com is a website to hit. Darren, you just let me a piece of paper says EU plans to potentially use personal pension savings. What is that all about? Well, that is a story not unlike what you've heard in Cyprus and other places in the world where they're talking about bail-ins instead of bail-outs. Up until the last decade or so, bail-outs were the course of action. Most countries would take if their large financial institutions begun to falter. And bail-outs simply meant the government was going to forward some money to them, or they would give them a tax break or something that would bail out the company. In bail-ins, it's the actual citizens of those countries that actually cover the cost of those problems. So if you look, for example, on our own federal budget for 2014, there is a page 144-145 that talks specifically about how they would recapitalize banking institutions if there was a crisis. And essentially in plain wording, that means they take the money from you, the person who belongs to the bank. So they would, in other words, bail in themselves by using the money that exists. The EU came out this week and it was a document that was put in public by Reuters news agency, which discussed the idea that they would use, the EU, this is the European Union. They would use personal pension savings of European Union's 500 million citizens to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks that has occurred since the financial crisis. Now, the EU is looking for ways to wean the 28-country block, obviously, from its heavy reliance on banking financing. And this is one of the ways that they are going to be able to do it. They're coming up to a stress test in November, and I think we should talk more about it in the second segment because its key bank stress tests are huge. When we fail those tests, it's a good indication that if anything serious happens again, like 2008, that the individual is going to suffer as opposed to the institution. We'll take a short break, and when we come back, we'll talk about that. We'll also talk about the fundamentals driving the market as well. Another dead banker, this is not a Hollywood movie, this is a real life, we'll get into that as well. Short break, the number to call 1-877-214-1711 online at therealmoneyshow.com. And more of the Real Money Show with Guild Hall wealth management, the number to call to take advantage of gold, silver, natural, fancy color, diamonds, all the things you need to get into your portfolio 1-877-214-1711 and check out the website, therealmoneyshow.com. And there you can launch into all sorts of things, diamonds and financing depository as well, contact numbers as well. Darren, when we took a break, we were talking about the stress test in the EU. We were, and that's a scary thing for us. We talk about it quite frequently in the office, and to understand it better, basically, when it comes down to major financial crisis, we've been through 2008 now, and it will serve as presidencies to what would occur if another market fail was to happen. And in the EU, they're simply trying to be prepared by saying, how can we get the wheels of this economic growth happening again? And if they want to do that, they have to cut their debt, they have to cut their spending and look for more alternatives to bring dollars into their system. They can't find it right now, they're destabilized, you've got a lot of talk about countries wanting to leave the EU, and this is what we call geopolitical problems. And this is one of the major four fundamentals of gold and silver ownership that we talk about in our seminars that we've talked about for years upon years. And when you are discussing these things, it's important to understand that whole countries will move towards gold ownership. Not so much silver, but gold ownership is a way to protect their foreign assets. You're seeing China do it right now. They know what the economic barometer is. They don't report on half the things that we need to know about them. So we don't know in what real condition their economy might be. And we see their GDP reports that are astronomical eight, seven, nine, 10, 12%, some cases over the last decade. And when that big economic engine slows down, other regions around the world get a little scared. So you use one of them. They need infrastructure dollars. They need investment dollars. They need money to build more roads, more railways. And that doesn't just come from lending. They can't keep that same course of money printing going. So there's talk that they're going to have as much if they do a stress test on the banks right now, they could have as much as almost 770 billion euro, which is more than one trillion US dollars shortfall. And if that was to happen, boy, boy, that would be a crisis of magnitude. And so they're now discussing that if that ever was to occur, how would we get ourselves out of it? Well, the obvious choice for them is slowly beginning to come in the way of taking or confiscating people's savings. So they'll go right into the bank account pensions, pension plans, what they're talking about right now, take the money out of there and hope for the best. Now, obviously, they have the intent to put every penny back. But you never know what the outcome will be. So this, this is something that that was talked about in this Reuters article. And it just scares the heck out of me. And if you look around the world right now, people wonder why the price of gold is where it is. Well, there's a lot going on in the major markets that people aren't aware of. And one of the things that came out this week is that Barrick, the world's largest producer of gold, he actually talked, they actually let out their quarter four reports on income and earnings. And it was not as good as everybody had hoped. And one thing they always let everybody know publicly is what the cost to produce is. And they they have two costs. One is just the production cost, which is around nine to 950. And then one is the all in cost. And Barrick's all in cost to produce one ounce of gold is hovering at about thirteen hundred and seventeen dollars an ounce. So that coincides with right where we are right now. So to see gold go much lower from here is probably not likely it can fluctuate. But we expect the prices to go higher. Well, I know Paul is just saying, yeah, production. I mean, this is simply really getting your price. You cut production. I mean, it costs are going up, wages are going up. It's a pull the product out of the ground is very, very expensive. I was looking at something that I found really interested in this week that what country is actually on gold? Who's the biggest owner of gold? And since we're not on that list. Well, no, funnily enough, you know, the U.S. is obviously they're on top. But we haven't, as we said in the first segment, food knocks hasn't had an audit since 1950s. So, you know, could just be empty boxes or empty pallets there. But supposedly the U.S. is one of the top holders, China, Russia, Japan, surprisingly Germany and Italy. Germany is trying to repatriate some of the gold that's been left with the U.S. and they're having a tough time getting a bag. The International Monetary Fund is a big holder of gold. So why do these countries hold gold if it's worthless? A little bit of a think here. Why do they hold gold if they think it's worthless? The brokerage houses and, you know, the Goldman Sachs of the world and the JP Morgan's tell you, you know, it's going to drop or it's going to do this. It's going to do that. They're involved with these markets every single day. There's more head fakes going in in this game than there is in a hockey game. It is unbelievable. So hard assets like gold, silver, platinum, platinum, you need to hold. If governments are holding it, so should you. They're printing paper money yet. They're buying like crazy. China is buying, they're the largest manufacturer, producer of gold, yet they're importing and buying an incredible amount. India put on a tariff because their rupee was tanking so they wouldn't, you know, but more gold was coming through the back door than was coming through the front door, put it that way. So they're going to have to take the tariff off. They're not going to get reelected in this, they do that. So, you know, the Indian buying gold, it's always been Japan, lots of gold, Italy, lots of gold, France, huge order of gold. So this is European countries that print, print, print, print, yet they still want to hold that magic, you know, metal. So it's a great time. As I said, I'm not going to pitch too much at you today. You should own gold, silver, natural, fancy colored diamonds as much as 15 or 20% in your portfolio to protect your hard-earned income. I mean, you need to protect your capital. The markets, the stock markets can come off very, very quickly. You're the last one to know about a stock. Inside a trading, there's more people going to jail for insider trading than there's ever been and there's still a lineup of, you know, defendants where, especially in New York, they're going after these people that worked for hedge funds. So, own some gold and silver. You can buy it outright. You can take it, home delivery, immediate delivery. It's in stock for you. We can ship it to you. You can pick it up. You can use our depository, which is one of the smartest ways to go. We do have a minimum order. The minimum we put in is 200 ounces. That's 200, 100 ounce bars of silver or 10 ounces of gold is the minimum that we will put into the depository for you. We even have an elite account where we can give you the bar numbers that go into the account. It's allocated. It's segregated. It's insured. This is really important. It's insured with Lloyd's in London. It's insured not only for robbery or for something in that range, but it's also insured for natural disaster. You will get your money. The same thing with natural, fancy colored diamonds. It's an asset that you can ensure. Can you insure your stocks? Can you insure your mutual funds? I don't think so. When it comes to the repository too, it's important to be clear that the way the depository is set up using the elite program at Guildhall, there is second is second to none in the world. There is no other depository program that is above that. And that's, I'm being as honest as I can with the listening public right now, you will not find another depository that does things better. And that is something that we're very proud of. And that's something that's very exclusive to Guildhall. When you're with Guildhall, those are the type of advantages that you get over buying from the bank or buying from a local coin guy or buying from a company that doesn't have depository. So it's important to point those things out. One, eight, seven, seven, two, one, four, seventeen, eleven and the real money show.com. Darren, talk a little bit about mint demand in the early of 2014. Well, yeah, it's important. It's an important topic and it spins right off of what we were discussing there. If you look around at the countries buying, it's important to also remember where the demand is coming from, but also how much of it is coming into the marketplace. And I'm just looking at some recent statistics from this week of the US Mint. And they had a slower than average sales month in January and at the US Mint. And that was because they delayed the onset of release of the 2014 American Silver Eagle coins. That's their best selling product for silver. And that is the most frequently bought product at the Mint. Now, in addition to that, if you look at February so far in the first, I guess now we're at the 14th day as we're taping on Friday, the US Mint has sold just over two million silver eagles. On Tuesday of this week, a US Mint official, Michael White confirmed that the demand for silver eagles has been so strong that the Mint nearly entirely sold out of its weekly 900,000 sales allocation of American Silver Eagle coins in the first 48 hours of the week. He also said that the reason the US Mint took more time to roll out to 2014 Silver Eagle program this year was due to the exceptionally high volume of sales in 2013. So it's great to hear that people are actually taking the advice of firms like ours in buying on the dips when the price is cheap. And on Monday, the US Mint updated their Silver Eagle sales figures to 1.442 million ounces so far this year. And furthermore to that, the Silver Eagle sales, they continue to outpace the gold Eagle sales in a big way. For the month of February, the totals are as follows. They've sold about just under 12,000 ounces of gold eagles. That's the gold coin. And in Silver Eagle's 1.691 million of them. So that's a ratio of around 155, 154 to 1. And that's important to note. And a lot of that product I'm telling you right now is not landing back in North American hands. A lot of that is going overseas, maybe even refined somewhere else and broken down into Silver. But it is definitely not landing over here because we have not wisened up yet. We are still paper dependent. We still demand that we get paper investments. When in fact, we should be putting hard assets in there every time. Well, even with Silver Eagle's gold Eagle, Silver maple leaves, gold maple leaves, you're paying actually a premium to buy the coin. People do like to buy gold, maple leaves, Silver maple leaves, they give them to their kids or they store them in safety positive boxes. But you're paying as much as $40, $50 premium on a gold maple leaf. The intrinsic value of that gold maple leaf is 1 ounce of gold. If you go to sell it, it's worth 1 ounce of gold, not a gold maple leaf. So if you're buying Silver, we recommend 10 ounce wafers, 100 ounce bars. If you really want to get into 1,000 ounce bars that are available for you, the no 1,000 ounce bars come as 1,000 ounces. They could be 999 ounces or 1,002 ounces. Each bar is weighed individually. 1,000 ounces of Silver weighs about 70 pounds. So it's tough to take 5,000 ounces and lug 350 pound of Silver around. We don't recommend it. So 10 ounce bars, 100 ounce bars of Silver is what we recommend. It's easy for us to store for you, if you want to take delivery or you want to put it in the depository. Same if you want to buy wafers of gold, we sell 1 ounce wafers, we sell 10 ounce, we sell kilo bars, which is 32.15 ounces of per wafer. So again, if you want to take delivery, it's available for you. We have the product. You can buy it outright or you want to put it in the depository. And thirdly, we can offer you collateralized financing. And if you really want to get into this, learn about purchasing gold and Silver, you really need to get our weekly precious metal advisor. Darren writes it every week. It's an unbelievable piece of information. It's, you know, one time we were charging $250 a year. That's for the weekly report. If you call in and you want this report, we will give it to you for one year, completely free of charge. Unbelievable. The information on there is incredible that we give to our clients. We're not going to tell you you should only buy from us. We're not telling you you should not own gold stocks. We're not telling you you shouldn't be in the stock market. But we give you enough information on gold and Silver and also natural fancy color diamonds. We tell you what the diamond of the week is as well. And it makes it very, very easy to follow these markets. We'll get to that if you want as a matter of fact, right now, the number is one, eight, seven, seven, two, one, four, 17, 11. The website is TheRealMoneyShow.com. I mentioned before the break and something, Darren, that Jeremy went on about last week, was about these, these bankers committing suicide or at least found at another one, JP Morgan at 37 years old. Yeah, put your conspiracy hat on for a moment. And if you were to hear about one banker committing suicide, it would make headlines. And if you were to hear about two, it'd probably be pretty, you know, pretty up there in terms of the newsworthy things to point out. You hear about three in a week and that's, you know, now that's a trend. This is the fifth in a couple of weeks. And these are all in separate locations in different parts of the world. What they have in common is some of them are working for the same institution. And that's, you know, beyond that, I can't speculate any further. But this guy, Ryan Henry Crane, who was the executive director in JB Morgan, the global equities group, was found dead in his Stanford, Connecticut home on Monday. He was 37 years old. He's younger than all of us. Pretty good thing for 37. I think there's something a little fishy in Denmark. What do you think? Yeah, there's no official word yet as the cause of death. But his death follows last week's suicide of another JP Morgan banker in London, completely separate country, which is also under investigation. And it follows five other suspicious banker suicides in the past week and a half. You say suicides, right? Yes. Yes. Now the last banker talking about reportedly managed to shoot himself with a nail gun 10 times. What is he watching Friday the 13th? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, God bless the families and everybody involved. It's tragic information, tragic news. But if that's not an indication that something might be a little fishy, I don't know what else is just, you know, unbelievable news. We'll take a quick break and we'll we'll brighten things up. Decidedly. What do you say, boys, with some with some diamonds? One eight seven seven two one four seventeen eleven. The real money show.com will get in natural fancy color diamonds next. And more of the real money show. The number is one eight seven seven two one four seventeen eleven. And you should go to the real money show.com to take advantage of all the phone numbers, all the information, including the precious metals advisor, which you can sign up for now for free. I love this part. Paul, we're talking about natural fancy color diamonds and you brought three friends in with you. Yeah, considering it's Valentine's Day. Oh, yeah. You know, we've actually had a terrific week on diamonds. We've, you know, we offered a promotion where we gave away a beautiful diamond heart shaped necklace with every purchase and it finishes unfortunately today on the 14th. But I brought into the studio today a few diamonds, John, that's, you know, just in front of you. We, I just got them back from the appraiser today and they're going to be going up on the website or there'll be a letter going out to our existing customers who normally take advantage. I mean, we advertise a diamond of the week, you know, within 15 minutes the diamond was sold. That's how quick they go. I have two unbelievable diamonds that are really, really incredible. One is a 1.13 and the other one is a 1.14. They're both fancy, intense. They're just beautiful stones. They're both what we call cushion internally flawless yellows. One of the stones is appraised at 35,000, the one 13 and the other, the other one is appraised at 37,500. Both of these stones will be put on for around about $20,000. They're an incredible buyer. The most beautiful thing about these stones is the cut. Now, we always talk about color first. Color is really important where there's an even color, even saturation in the diamond. The cut is really extremely important. If the cut is a great cut normally, especially on yellows, we use radiant or cushion, pear-shaped, even emerald. They bring out the color exceptionally, especially in an even balanced stone. But the cut is incredible because that brings out the color and the scintillation. And you can see the, we call it in the trade, the fire, the colors that just fire off of these diamonds. John, you were a-- I've been staring at the thing for four. It's incredible. All three of these diamonds aren't that light one. The light yellow one is just-- It's not light yellow. It's an intense yellow, but it's not a strong color. The lighter color, yeah. It's two intense diamonds. Actually, we've got one of these intense diamonds. In my opinion, it's a vivid, though, you know, Nicole, my daughter always says that I try to pick out stones. If it's an intense that looks like a vivid, if it's an intense, you know, if it's a fancy, it should look like an intense. So one of these stones, in my opinion, if you were trying to grade one to 10, it would be a 10 plus and an intense-- It's incredible. Or a one in a vivid. That's why the color is so super, super strong. The other stone is an incredible stone. It's an argyle pink. Now, I've got to tell you about this argyle pink. It's an oval. Now, the stone was a .25 argyle intense pink. The original argyle accreditation will show it as an SI1 or an SI2. I'm not sure. It's a slight inclusion. Yes. Okay. What has happened to the stone, because of the color, and because it had just an inclusion, and it was on the side of the diamond, so what they were able to do was repolish the stone. So we've lost a little bit of the stone. Instead of being a .25, it's still got the argyle documentation, but we have the argyle and the GI documentation. It's now a .24. Oh, but it's a VS2. So what happened is they polished out the inclusion, which by making it, instead of an SI1, SI2, it's moved up three, four grades and has become a more expensive diamond. And this diamond is going to go up on the website for around about $30,000. You should call us on this, where anybody that's an argyle collector, this is a-- The color is just stunning. And look at the colors. They're incredible. They're incredible. Everything is just firing off of that diamond. It's just an unbelievable stone. Every stone, every diamond we sell at Guildhall comes with a GIA, which is a gemology institute of America. That is the certification of stone. It tells you everything about that stone. The size, the color, the weight, the carrot weight, everything that you really need to know. We also give you an independent appraisal. Now, it's important the independent appraisal says you get an idea of what the prices are. Now, I've just, on our website, you should go to Guildhall Diamonds. We've just had two argyle pinks. One was a .53, intense VS2. The other one was a .59, again, intense pink VS2. Let me tell you about these two stones. One was a .53, the other's a .59. We've had them reappraised. The .53 originally was appraised for $147,500. The new appraisal is $185,000. The new price we've actually put up on the website is $129,500. That will be the cost to buy it. The price before we change it was $103,250. If you want to make a deal, you can have this stone for $103,250 if you call us on actually Monday's a holiday on Tuesday. The other stone was a .59, again, fancy intense pink VS2. The stone was appraised $164,000. This was early part of last year. The new appraisal is $205,000. It was on at the old price of $114,500. The new price is $143,500. While I've got these in stock, if you really want this stone, you can get this diamond from me for $114,500, even though I've reprised it. For me to replace these diamonds today, that's what the going prices are. We don't just put the prices up. We're not in the business to jack prices up. To replace these diamonds, they're up between 25 to 35 percent within the last six, nine months. It's just incredible. Those are two stones that you should look at that we had reappraised. As I said, this .24 is an argyle. It's an incredible stone. It's intense. It's been re-cut into a VS2. It is a steal at $30,000. It's a beautiful, beautiful stone and oval because it's .24. It looks like a bigger stone. Again, if you want to put this stone away, if you're looking to retire, if you're looking to put your kids through university, whether it's 10, 15 years down the road, you're going to have a stone that's going to easily be worth $100,000. We will be happy, delighted to take these stones, any one of these stones we're talking about, and take them, put them back on our website if you wanted to sell them. We would advertise these stones like crazy and have no problem reselling. These are VS. You've got to remember, the argyle mine set to close in 2018. I'm having the toughest, toughest job trying to find VS quality in argyle pinks, especially in fancy, intense and vivid. I've actually got a couple of vivid stones I've got coming in. I had to beg of one of the dealers to sell me these stones. When I was in New York, I saw them and I've paid a silly price to get them, but I know these stones are going up 35, 40 percent a year. Why wouldn't I buy them? We come to a deal. We're in GIA right now, just being reclassified. Go to our website, which is Guildhall Diamonds. If you want to see the largest selection of yellow internally flawless, I think we have the biggest selection out there, probably in the world today. Argyle pinks, we only carry VS quality, which is collector investment grade. You can buy pinks. The Argyle mine produces 90 percent of the world's pink. It's one tenth of one percent of their production. Pinks come from Brazil, come from Zimbabwe. Again, very hard to find VS quality. We have nothing but VS quality. You very rarely see internally flawless in pinks, unless you really cut a stone down from nothing and nobody in their right mind is going to do that in a pink. Blues is another thing. We have two blues on our website, two internally flawless blue diamonds, incredible. For every 112 blues that go into auction at Southern Bizzo Christie's, there is only one blue diamond. They've just found- -cuzzles, 112 percussles. It's incredible. These are investment grade stones. These are not stones that are yellowish brown or champagne or chocolate or any of these silly colors that are not worth anything. Every diamond that we select has to meet our criteria. It has to have the color. It has to have the cut. Again, if it's yellows, we try to buy diamonds that are internally flawless. We have one more diamond that actually is in appraisal right now, which is a stunning stoning stone. I haven't got the appraisal back, but if someone's interested in this, I have a 1.25 fancy yellow, flawless. That means there's no inclusions on the outside or the inside. It's a one-of-a-kind stone. Again, there's a premium on this type of diamond, but the colors, the fire offer, the scintillation is just incredible. This is a stone. It's actually in my own collection, and I'm putting it out there. -I'll bring it in here first. -A guild hall, we offer you a GIA, an independent appraisal. We give you a 10-day money back guarantee. If you want to buy a diamond and you're looking to sell it down the road, we have the vehicle to sell that diamond for you. We will put it on our website. We will memo our own clients. We will internet. We have lots of collectors that as soon as we get any diamond that we want to resell, they are happy to buy from us. Darren had a customer last week or the week before that we reselled a diamond for. -We did. That client was absolutely happy. He gave us a good feedback on the process. It's a very easy process. Of course, we put the time and effort into geotargeting the right client for purchase. In some cases, it's important to note. I would never ever try to sell a diamond straight up unless I thought it was suited for a particular venue at a particular time. Octions don't work. If you have something that's ready for Christie's or Sotheby's, we'd be the first to tell you. Otherwise, auction sites don't work, and people who use those sites, it's foolish to think that they would be able to get the best buyer in the span of a few hours. What we do is we market towards the best client possible, those that are coming into the market. In some cases with pinks, we might even geotarget places in the world like Japan, where they're a very high buying audience. Either way, the whole process is simple. Paul makes it simple as the leader of Guildhall. When you have the expertise of Nicole Snippman and Paul and myself and Jeremy and the whole crew at Guildhall, you can't go wrong. And I mean, that's the type of investment in a hard asset that you want to put your portfolio alongside gold in silver and be rest assured that you're getting the highest quality color diamond in the world. 1 8 7 7 2 1 4 17 11 the real money show.com. Paul, as I look at these three diamonds, they're just, you know, I'm bobbing my head back like a pigeon, just getting all the brilliant colors off these diamonds makes me think of wealth to wear, right? These would be great to be a jewelry. Well, yeah, I mean, we sold today a beautiful, actually, Nicole had a ring made that she occasionally wore and we sold a 1.51 in 10 yellow stunning, stunning, stunning in a beautiful setting. Again, if you want to, if you pick a diamond, whether it's for your wife, fiance, whatever the investment and you want to wear it, that's why we call it wealth to wear, you don't have to put it in a ring. You can put it in a pendant. We have an unbelievable designer that designs the most incredible, incredible jewelry. We don't talk you into, into anything in any design. We have a process. We show you, you know, if you have something that you've seen in a magazine, if you see something, a movie star one is wearing and you want something similar, then we can design it for you. But with a few upgrades by putting in, again, if you're, you know, if it's a yellow diamond, you want to put a halo of yellow diamonds around it or two halos around it, you know, we can build anything up. But even when we put the white diamonds, we only put in the best quality white diamonds, you know, whether they're E and F, you know, you really don't have to put equality into a setting in small, whether they're, you know, 0.5s or 0.7s or 0.10 stones. But we still put the highest quality and VS quality rounder, round any type of diamond. And that's what shows off the stone. Absolutely. I mean, you know, you need a great, you know, to put on a G or an H or an I diamond, which, you know, still is not bad color, but it's not a clear, it's not a clean color. You want to show off the color, whether it's a yellow or pink diamond ring or pendant that you're going to have wealth to wear. You can wear it as you're wearing it. The beauty is, you know, when you want to take the stone out of the diamond, we can resell that stone and we can put, you know, if you put a yellow diamond into a ring and you want to put a white diamond in the ring, we can do that for you as well. So it's a great, great opportunity. This is something if you're looking for an investment, you're scared, I'm going to scare it, but every month you look at your stock portfolio and you want to throw up on your shoes because you're really not making any money. You know, not everybody can own Apple and Google and every bank stock that's out there. The Canadians have a tendency to buy mining stocks or some buy something for $3 and home you're going to hit a home run for $20. That's the mentality. Unfortunately, not everybody buys stocks to create dividends. So this is a great, great investment, whether you buy some gold, buy some silver, buy a natural fantasy color diamond, you know, I'll give you a one quick example. I know we're coming to the end of the segment, but 30 years ago, you could have bought a fancy red, for example, one cara. You'd have paid about $30,000 a cara. Today you're paying anywhere from a million eight to two million dollars for a red diamond in a VS quality if you can find one. I mean, they're just not out there. Collectors just put them away. It's real money. You know, you just put it to the back of the safe, you put it in the safety deposit box. It's your retirement. And when it comes to sell, they get sold pretty quick. Same thing with blues. Blue, when you buy a vivid or intense or a fancy an IF, you can't go wrong. You're going to make they actually. Reds are doubling virtually every year. Blues are doubling every two years over the last 40 years since we've been looking at records from whether it's auction houses, whether it's from wholesalers, whether it's from dealers. That's what's happening. Pinks, the Argo pinks are going a little wild, especially in the VS quality. They're doubling every two to three years. It all depends the size, the color, obviously in the clarity. Yellows are going up round about 12%. And I say 12% a year because it's hard to tell. Vivids last year went up 35%. Fances and intents are going between 12 and 20. But the larger the stone, if you buy a five carat or three carat fancy intents, they're going up the same rate as Vivids because the larger the stone. I tried to buy. I was in New York and I tried to buy some intents. My prices have gone up about 20% since November. You cannot find an internally flawless intense. And I found a couple this week. I saw probably 50 to 60 diamonds. I bought four and three of them, two of them are intensive. They're very hard to find. And I think the intense diamonds hold terrific value because they're going to become the next Vivids really because whoever's got Vivids don't want to sell them. They're just putting them to the back of the safe. My deal is out of New York and out of Israel and out of Antwerp, you know, hard to find. No one they're all holding up product A for the Hong Kong show. And in June, we've got we've got a show in Switzerland in March. There's a show in June, Las Vegas, the JCK show. And, you know, they have buyers from all over the world. And they are getting ridiculous prices at these shows. So again, look at an intense, I think it's an unbelievable value. We've got two stones on. As I said, for around about $20,000 that are an absolute steal. You hold onto these stones, whether it's five years, 10 years, if you pay $20,000, you'll get $40,000 in five years, you're going to get $80,000. In my opinion, within 10 years, you know, $80,000 to $100,000 within 15 years. If that's the type of money you're looking to make, if that's the safe investment, and this is an insurable asset, you know, can you ensure your stock portfolio? You can't. Then diamonds, you can ensure whether you want to wear it, whether you want to put it in a safety deposit box. And we can also offer you storage for your diamond as well. There's a cost to do it because ensuring diamonds is very expensive. So if you want to, you know, have it stored with us, we can offer that to you.

The real money show, the number 1-877-214-1711 or the real money show.com. Darren, if I'm an investor, how long do I have to wait? Well, John, I'll tell you, it's a question that has be baffled a lot of investors lately. If you've been in the market over the last 30 months or so, you're in a trough period of consolidation of both gold and silver. But those sitting on the fence, I'll tell you, there's lots of them. They just lost a dollar this week. And the price is silver, price of gold, up $60 an ounce since last week. And I mean, that's a hard lesson to learn if you're an investor. And like we said, there are more buyers, the higher the price goes. It's just the course of mentality. Beautiful last week. You're already ahead with the commissions. That's right. You're going to see jumps. We've moved up a dollar in silver in less than a week. I believe you're going to see moves of $2-3 a day when these job reports come out of the states, when inflation reports come out. Darren was showing me this week on his computer, because he keeps a record of what the groceries are every week. And I was astounded how much things have gone up and how the packaging has shrunk. Do you remember when we were talking about just a few little things? Yeah. Well, they say there's no inflation, right? I mean, that's the mainstay headline that you raised. In fact, I was just with a client this week and we were having a debate about deflation or inflation. And if you know gold and silver, you should know historically the threat of inflation drives prices higher. When we get into a period of high inflation, typically, gold and silver prices tend to pull back. And we want to be out of the market by that time, take our profit off the table. But we were talking about it. And in reality, I did this shop and I'm putting together all of it. There's a lot more than I thought I was going to do. I wanted to compare a much larger list of groceries year over year. And thankfully, I was able to do that. So it's being written now. But little examples, a jar of baby food, one of the small ones, 15% increase year over year. Same supplier, same place, same everything, not nothing on sale. And if it was on sale, I didn't include it. I mean, you know, peanut butter, there was a 16% jump in the same jar, peanut butter, salmon was usual. Yeah, the whole time it's killer, sockeye salmon. There was a 16% jump in that price 11% in the ground coffee that I bought. Tea was up. You know, it's amazing bananas, bananas of all things went up in price, whip in price, like 70% a year over year. Now for us at home, there's lots of ways to read headlines and articles about them talking and telling us there's no inflation. The street level inflation, they argue is in fact, so tame that they're worried about deflation. But the reality is, I haven't seen a substantial increase in the income that people are receiving, nor have my colleagues nor are the people that I deal with. We still have the same jobs. We're still making the same money. We were probably five, six, seven, eight, 10 years ago. There's not much in the way of raises out there. Yet the cost of living is, believe it or not, rising. And if we look at the major, the major centers just in Canada alone over the last decade, food plus 31% shelter, 25% higher cost around the house, things that we buy around the house, 13% higher, gasoline, 69% higher. Health and personal care, 16% up. Alcohol and tobacco, 27% higher. Energy, 47% higher. I mean, the list goes on and on. And we're not getting the rise in income that we need to meet that demand. So we have less disposable income and we have to be smarter with the money we have. Now we've already learned one lesson, 2008 has come and gone and God bless those of you that lost some money and still haven't recovered. I feel terrible for you. But for those that are smart enough to take the money they do have and invest it wisely, there are options, gold and silver, one of those options, bullion, physical, holding your hand tangible assets, natural, fancy color diamonds. It's very easy to get into these markets. It's very smart to be in these markets. And they are contrarian to the paper markets that you're used to being in. Paper can be manipulated. In my opinion, you want to stay as far away from paper as you can. You're talking to a group of experts right now that have very little invested in the stock market. It's just not a smart place to be. We've risen artificially with low interest rates. And I'll tell you, to get into the market and play the market now would be absolutely ludicrous in my opinion, unless you know something I don't know. But when you're looking at gains a month over month over month over month, and you're hearing about these tremendous stock rises in the stock market, just this past year, late in the fourth quarter, rising to its all time high. And again, in the first few weeks of January, all time high, who the heck is investing? It's not the average guy on the street. It's people who are getting richer and kind of forward to lose the money. It's institutions who are propping up the stock markets. And it's the actual central banks themselves, which are forcing that change and using that type of manipulative course of behavior to get the institutions to buy the stock markets. Now, if you want to get into our markets, it couldn't be easier for you to buy at Guildhall Wealth Management. You have three ways of doing so. You can buy some gold or silver, physical bars, coins, take it home with you. You can also open up a depository account, which would give you insured bullion in a vault that's located in Canada. That's not part of the banking system, and it is insured. And you could come and see that visited on it. You can get your serial numbers. It's the best of its kind in all the world as far as I'm concerned. Or you can also take the third option or combine the first three options together and use collateralized financing, in which a client can put down as little as 30% of the value of the metal they want to invest in, and then have the rest of the money supported by a lender with a very, very small amount of interest, comparatively speaking to other types of investments like this. The value of buying it like that using collateralized financing is that I get a one-time flat rate commission on the mount ounces I'm buying, and I'm using somebody else's money instead of my own to risk going forward. I have some debt, I have to maintain the account. If it does fall in value, there is some risk there, but we're going to talk about that when you give us a call. Now, going forward, I expect that over the next number of months, we're going to breach a number of very key resistance levels in the gold market. One of the amazing things that's happening right now is that we're breaking above these averages. We're above the 100-day average and the 200-day average, and in silver, we're beginning to see that shape and take form also. The ratio between gold and silver still sits very high up and around 60 to 1, and we are still witnessing a major, major problem with the economy. The numbers that they're telling you don't believe them, do your own research. Get the precious metals advisor, get as much information about this market as you can through Guildhall Wealth Management.
