Stijn Schmitz welcomes Don Durrett to the show. Don Durrett is Author, Investor, and Founder of Goldstockdata.com. The podcast explores the current state of precious metals markets, with a particular focus on gold and silver's potential future trajectory. Durrett's primary thesis centers on the impending failure of the U.S. bond market, which he believes is the fundamental driver behind gold's current and future price movements. He argues that the massive U.S. government debt, currently at $38 trillion and growing by $2 trillion annually, has created an unsustainable economic situation. This instability is causing investors to lose confidence in U.S. Treasury bonds, with countries like China already reducing their holdings. Regarding gold price targets, Durrett is remarkably bullish, projecting prices between $6,000 and $8,000 per ounce. He bases this projection on historical bull market patterns, particularly comparing current trends to gold's performance in the 1970s and early 2000s. He anticipates that gold will experience significant appreciation, especially when the stock market encounters serious challenges. Silver presents a more volatile prospect, which Durrett describes metaphorically as "little sister" following "big brother" gold. He expects potential shortages and significant price fluctuations, with targets ranging from $100 to $150 per ounce. His investment strategy involves extreme diversification, currently holding 161 stocks with minimal allocation to each to manage emotional risk. Durrett emphasizes that his approach is speculation, not traditional investing. He recommends looking for companies with multiple growth potential - through project development, discoveries, and acquisitions. His website, Goldstockdata.com, provides data and analysis for investors interested in precious metal mining stocks. Critically, Durrett warns that this is a high-risk strategy requiring significant emotional discipline. Investors should be prepared for substantial portfolio volatility, potentially experiencing corrections of 30% or more while maintaining a long-term perspective focused on the anticipated economic reset.
