Just curious about the percentage of your posts that are based upon House of El posts? I may have missed any info on that. Great that you credit your sources.
I spend hours going through multiple analysts, researchers, and long-form breakdowns across different channels.
When I use material from someone specific, I credit it. Always.
My role isn’t to claim the research...
it’s to translate it, pressure-test it, and deliver the signal without the noise so people don’t have to spend 3–5 hours digging through it themselves.
Think of it less like “this came from X” and more like “this is the distilled version of what’s actually worth paying attention to.”
If something doesn’t hold up, I don’t use it. If it does, I make it readable.
Just finished House of El’s book Awake - well worth the read.
Today’s stock market has two additional defining factors- the bro day trader and algorithm/AI trading. The bro’s have 40 second attention spans, think the S&P is a video game and play pump and dump all day. The other began with the flash crash in 2010. A large investor used an automated program to sell a very big block of S&P futures and that selling pressure interacted with other algorithms and market makers, which amplified the move and caused a brief but severe market collapse.
So the stock market’s voice is still at risk. The bro’s might have learned their lesson about betting on rumour rather than fact but what about AI investing? Conventional investors who track historical data may get blindsided by an AI driven hallucination that tips our reality.
Good luck believing Fort Knox will give up their gold, if any exists. No one has been able to verify what’s in the vault for decades!
STPC... I get why people question it.
When something hasn’t been independently audited in a long time, it naturally raises eyebrows.
That said, the bigger issue here isn’t whether the gold exists…
It’s who controls it and under what conditions.
Even if every bar is exactly where it should be, countries are starting to ask:
“Do we want our national reserves sitting outside our direct control?”
That’s a sovereignty question, not a conspiracy one.
And when trust in institutions starts to wobble — even slightly — those questions get a lot louder.
Yes, I 💯 agree 👍. I read somewhere that US refused to send back the gold to a certain EU country (might have been Germany) when asked.

Ian... fair question.
I don’t build my posts around any one source.

I don’t normally watch much YouTube, but House of El is a great watch. Very insightful and informative.

Roxy... great take, and I agree those two forces are now baked into the system.
The “bro trader” noise creates short-term spikes… but it usually burns itself out fast.
That’s just volatility with a short memory.
What’s more interesting (and a lot more dangerous) is what you pointed out on the algorithm/AI side.
Those systems don’t panic... they amplify.
They’re all reading the same signals, reacting in milliseconds, and when something breaks… they don’t question it, they accelerate it.
That’s what we saw in 2010, and the speed has only increased since then.
The real risk now isn’t just bad data... it’s bad interpretation at machine speed.
And here’s where it ties back to the bigger point in the article...
If confidence is already weakening… and you layer in systems that react instantly to shifting signals…
You don’t get smooth corrections anymore.
You get air pockets.
Curious to hear what you think after you go through Awake.
That one’s on my weekend list too 👍
Well they better hurry up and get their gold before trump takes it all. Actually I would be surprised if there is any there
