The Gold Awakening: Wall Street’s Panic to Catch the Prophet of Profit

Publisher’s Preface: I would like you to read this sentence:

We will also lay out why gold stocks — specifically junior minors — are about to wake-up from their 13-year hibernation. In the last gold and silver bull market, junior miners outperformed the underlying metal by 2x, 3x, and as much as 10X.

That sentence was published in our White Paper #2, released to you in October of last year.

Titled “Gold Prediction: $16,402 an Ounce! The Perfect Storm: Why Gold and Silver Are Poised for an Unprecedented Bull Run,” we laid out the case for the birth of a new bull market in precious metals.

We continued in White Paper #2:

The last gold bull market lasted nearly a decade [2000–2010], but today’s economic environment is even more precarious. The coming years could see gold and silver shattering their previous highs, driven by this perfect storm of global instability and financial mismanagement.

In fact, our long-term price target for gold (10 years out) is $16,402/oz and $152/oz for silver. In this Angel Investment Research White Paper #2, we will give price targets for one year (2025), three years, five years, and 10 years.

For gold, our new baseline (support level) is roughly $2,000/oz. All future price target calculations are based on that level.

Here’s a sneak peak into our upcoming White Paper #4, titled, “MoneyQuake: Gold Beyond Belief — The Unthinkable Price Target That Will Reshape the Global Economy and Your Wealth.”

And if the predictions I make in "MoneyQuake: Gold Beyond Belief"are anything close to the predictions I made in last year’s white paper, then you’re going to want to read it as soon as I make it available. 

I don’t want to gloat… but let’s be honest: I told you this was coming.

For years, while Wall Street rolled its eyes, I’ve been pounding the table on gold. I said central banks were stockpiling for a reason. I said the collapse of faith in fiat currencies would accelerate. I said political pressure on the Fed would ignite the fuse.

And I said gold would be the one true asset that would not only survive, but thrive, when the MoneyQuake began shaking the foundations of global finance.

Today? Goldman Sachs is finally catching up. So are UBS, JPMorgan, deVere, and half the analysts who laughed off my “paranoid” warnings just a couple years ago. They’re all frantically revising their models upward — issuing gold price targets they never had the courage to publish before.

It’s official: Wall Street is late to the party you and I started.

The Catch-Up Game: Goldman Sachs and the $5,000 Call

Gold has blasted through $3,500/oz this year, delivering a 33% return in nine short months. And suddenly Goldman Sachs — once gold’s biggest naysayer — is out here proclaiming gold as its “highest-conviction long recommendation” for the rest of the year.

Why? Because even they can no longer ignore the tide.

Goldman analysts now admit that if just 1% of the $57 trillion U.S. Treasury market reallocates into gold, the price could soar to $5,000/oz. Their base case? $3,700–$4,000 by 2026. Their stretch case? $5,000 by 2026 if politics erode trust in the Federal Reserve.

Pause for effect: I’ve been saying this exact thing for months. The structural shift out of Treasuries and into gold is not a theory — it’s a migration already underway.

When the most powerful bank in the world finally parrots your playbook, you know the movement has momentum.

Fed Independence: The Political Powder Keg

And here’s the kicker — this isn’t just about supply, demand, or inflation.

The Federal Reserve itself is under fire. President Trump has publicly threatened Fed Chair Jerome Powell, shaking confidence in the Fed’s independence. The Investopedia report made it clear: If markets lose faith in the Fed’s autonomy, the U.S. dollar weakens, Treasuries falter, and gold becomes the one refuge no government can manipulate.

This is what I’ve called the political accelerant. A bull market in gold fueled not only by macro trends, but also by outright distrust in the very institutions meant to stabilize markets.

This is 1971 all over again — but on steroids.

Central Banks: The Silent Juggernaut

But the biggest story — and the one I told you about long before it hit CNBC’s ticker — is central banks.

Collectively, they now hold 36,700 metric tons of gold — a staggering 27% of their total reserves. That’s the highest level since 1996, and for the first time in nearly three decades, central banks hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries.

That’s not symbolism. That’s a declaration of war on the dollar.

And it’s not just China, Russia, and Turkey. Emerging markets across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are rushing to re-anchor their monetary systems to something real, something tangible, something immune to Washington’s whims.

When the stewards of the global monetary system themselves are dumping Treasuries and hoarding bullion, that tells you everything you need to know.

The Tidal Wave of “Smart Money”

And it’s not just governments. The so-called “smart money” — hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, even crypto companies — is piling into gold.

• Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, just allocated hundreds of millions of dollars into gold mining projects.
• Sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East are buying physical bullion as if tomorrow’s headlines will announce the end of the dollar.
• Retail investors from Miami to Mumbai are draining ETFs and stacking physical gold at a pace unseen since the 1970s.

The irony? The same “smart money” that mocked gold bugs like me has been buying hand over fist — quietly at first, but now openly, because there’s no hiding a frenzy of this scale.

The Avalanche of Predictions

Here’s a sampler of the bandwagon effect:

• Goldman Sachs: $5,000/oz possible
• deVere Group: $5,000/oz by Q1 2026
• UBS: Revised targets north of $4,000
• World Gold Council: Over 1,000 metric tons bought per year, three years running

Sound familiar? Of course it does. I told you this was coming when gold was still under $2,000.

This isn’t me being lucky. This is me being right — again.

Enter NatBridge: The Next Domino in the Gold Bull Market

Now let’s shift gears. Because while the world catches up to my thesis, I’ve been busy identifying the next wave of winners in this bull market.

Central banks have their gold. Wall Street has its price targets. But retail investors? They’re still shut out of the biggest, boldest play in this bull cycle.

That’s where NatBridge (OTC: NATBF; CSE: NATB) comes in.

NatBridge isn’t just another miner. It’s not another ETF. It’s the digital mining hub — the bridge between trillions in certified, unmined reserves and the blockchain rails that can unlock their value.

Remember: There are tens of trillions of dollars' worth of stranded gold reserves in the ground today. Mining permits are stalled. ESG protests block projects. Extraction costs are sky-high. Yet those reserves are real, verifiable, and sitting there like a dormant treasure chest.

NatBridge is building the infrastructure to tokenize those reserves, to connect them to the NatGold ecosystem, and to make them tradeable as digital-first, environmentally neutral assets.

If central banks are hoarding bullion and Wall Street is rushing into mining stocks, then NatBridge is the third leg of the stool. The play that ties it all together.

The Next White Paper: A Bombshell

And that leads me to the next big reveal.

My last white paper (#2) put me on record with a gold target of $13,820/oz. We’re already ahead of schedule, with gold blasting through my 2025 prediction in Q3. Wall Street is now racing to publish numbers that sound eerily similar to mine.

But I’m about to raise the stakes.

In White Paper #4, I will unveil the boldest, most audacious prediction of my career. A gold target so high that even my critics will have to sit down, pour a stiff drink, and admit: The Prophet of Profit has done it again.

Because if the 1970s replay gave us a 2,400% move in gold… and if the 2020s overlay every factor from that decade with even more leverage, more debt, more geopolitical chaos, and more monetary breakdown… then the target isn’t $5,000.

It’s something that today seems unbelievable.

But tomorrow, it will be undeniable.

Closing: The Herd Is Coming — but You’re Already Here

Look around.

The herd is moving. Goldman Sachs, UBS, deVere — they’re all stampeding into the pasture I told you about years ago. They’re late, they’re slow, and they’re desperate not to be left behind.

But you? You’re here already. You’ve been here. You’ve had the foresight, the conviction, and the edge.

Now, the next step is to seize the asymmetric plays before they become front-page news. NatBridge is one of them. NatGold is another. And White Paper #4 will lay out the final map — a treasure map to a gold price the world isn’t ready to believe.

But they will.

Because they always do.

Because we always get to the good, green grass first…
