[Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins]( Welcome to Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins! It’s the only daily newsletter featuring the insights of renowned author and former Wall Street insider, Nomi Prins. Every day, Nomi shines a light on a massive wealth transfer she calls The Great Distortion. That’s the true cause of the permanent disconnect she sees between the markets and the real economy. And she shares ways you can come out ahead, if you know where the money is flowing. You’ll find all Nomi’s Inside Wall Street issues [here](.

Maria’s Note: In today’s essay, we hand the reins to one of Nomi’s global team members, Lau Vegys. He specializes in sectors like precious metals, mining, and technology. Here, he explains why he’s bullish on silver long-term, and why you should be, too… --------------------------------------------------------------- Hedge Your Portfolio With This Metal During Rising Inflation By Lau Vegys, Contributing Editor, Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins [Lau Vegys] Silver is set to explode because of tailwinds from the New Energy megatrend. Silver is a key component in solar panels and electric vehicle batteries. And both of these will play an increasing role in the global shift toward cleaner, greener, New Energy that’s underway. I first wrote to you about this back in December. [If you missed that dispatch, you can [catch up here]( The bottom line is that silver’s crucial role in the green economy paints a very bullish long-term picture for the metal. Today, I’ll show you another reason why this overlooked metal is set to go much higher in the coming months. And I’ll show you a way to position yourself to profit as it does… Recommended Link [“Gas stations will run dry.”]( [image]( In order to prevent catastrophe… Washington is throwing half a TRILLION dollars into one sector of the economy.

Many of those who own silver buy it for the same reasons they buy gold: to protect their wealth against negative real interest rates, rampant government debt, and money-printing. And right now, real interest rates (adjusted for inflation) are still negative. So people are losing money on every cent they save… Government debt has rocketed from $23 trillion at the start of 2020 to more than $30 trillion. This has been funded primarily by the U.S. government’s unbridled money creation. According to the Federal Reserve, M2 – a broad measure of the stock of U.S. dollars – rose from $15.4 trillion in January 2020 to $21.8 trillion in May 2022. This means that more than 40% of the U.S. dollars in existence were created in the last two years. [Featured: Confession: PhD Economist says “Used to think a crash was coming…”]( Precious Metals Are the Ultimate Form of Wealth Insurance While money-printing is nothing new, the increase in the money supply to combat the after-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and pay for the feds’ largesse is unprecedented. And it’s bullish for both gold and silver. Remember, these precious metals are the ultimate form of wealth insurance. They’ve preserved wealth through every kind of crisis imaginable. An ounce of silver buys you about the same amount of bread today as it did in Roman times. And, if you want a more recent example, 20 ounces of gold will still get you a pretty nice car, as it would have about half a century ago. The money-printing phenomenon is creating a glut of freshly fabricated money that’s yet to work its way through the global economy. When it does, it will create a bubble in gold and silver, as investors scramble for time-tested cash alternatives to protect their savings from inflation. That hasn’t happened yet, but it will. U.S. inflation has shot up from 1.4% in January 2021 to 8.3% right now. [Chart] Now, have a look at this next chart. It shows silver (blue line on the chart) and gold (orange line on the chart) prices during the last period of rampant inflation, 1976-1980 (the shaded area on the chart). [Chart] In 1976, the inflation rate was 5.8%. By 1980, it had risen to a whopping 13.5%. And you can see how the gold and silver markets performed. Gold gained 415%… with silver returning more than double that – 857%. Recommended Link [“Buy These 5 Cryptos on the Dip” (Get #1 FREE)]( [image]( 17,613%... 21,150%... even as high as 151,323%. Those were gains from former hedge fund manager Teeka Tiwari’s recommendations the last time [this happened in the crypto market](. It’s an opportunity not seen in five years. But thanks to a new technology one billionaire calls beyond “disruptive,” potentially as disruptive as the internet itself… And one that 9 billionaires are investing in (at last count)… Teeka says the window of opportunity is open again. And he just released 5 new crypto recommendations to take advantage of it. Best part?... [You can get the name of his top pick for free. Click here for everything you need to know.]( -- Why Silver Is Set to Outperform Gold Again There are a couple of simple reasons why silver outperformed gold during that period of high inflation… and why we believe it will again during this one… You see, around 80% of silver is mined as a byproduct of gold or industrial metal mining. As a result, the silver supply does not respond directly – or as quickly – to higher prices, the way the gold supply typically does. This means as demand increases, due to silver’s role in the global shift towards New Energy that I mentioned earlier, we will see shortages in supply. And this will lead to higher prices for silver. Then there’s the size of the silver market to consider. The chart below shows how tiny silver is relative to other commodities. [Chart] You can see that the silver market is less than even the zinc market and the nickel market. And it’s just one-tenth the size of the global market for gold. With a market this small, it only takes a small amount of money to push the price around. And large amounts of money can dramatically impact prices. This makes gold’s more volatile cousin prone to sharper upside explosions as money typically pumps into it when inflation is high. [Featured: June 1st…7 Billionaires Prepared (Musk, Cuban, More…)]( Disconnect Between Potential and Price And the best part is: Right now, silver is a bargain. In fact, the metal is currently trading well below its July 2020 price of roughly $27 per ounce – before the Fed’s printing press really went into overdrive. In other words, it’s trading as if no money-printing has happened. That’s another illustration of a disconnect your editor, Nomi Prins, has identified between the financial markets and the real economy… what she calls “[The Great Distortion]( It’s the biggest discovery of Nomi’s career.

[Back in December]( we told you about one of the simplest ways to buy physical silver – coins and bars. Now, the main drawback of investing in physical silver is that coins and bars are bulky to store. So, if you’re new to investing in silver, another way to get exposure to the metal is through a silver exchange-traded fund (ETF). A silver ETF invests primarily in hard silver assets, and you can buy it through your brokerage account. We like the Aberdeen Standard Physical Silver Shares ETF (SIVR). The fund stores its metal in London, England, but it’s listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The next few years could be huge for silver. Now is the time to add some exposure to this unloved metal to your portfolio.
