In this deep-dive, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down why they believe we’re in a rare moment when precious metals can dramatically outpace real estate—measured in purchasing power. You’ll see: Housing priced in ounces of gold & silver (and why 1980 isn’t the ceiling) The rent vs. buy gap and why renting may be the smarter bridge strategy What must change for affordability to “normalize” (prices, incomes, or rates?) How a synchronized reset in stocks, bonds, and property could turbocharge metals If you’re weighing silver/gold vs. real estate, this presentation connects the macro dots with actionable logic: protect purchasing power now, target cash-flowing assets later.

Chapters: 0:00 Metals vs. housing: setting the stage 1:22 Housing priced in gold 4:14 Monthly payment in dollars vs. ounces 6:08 Housing priced in silver 9:27 Bubbles & potential overshoot 10:26 Rent vs. buy affordability gap 11:55 What must “give” for affordability 16:11 M2, policy, and home prices 17:35 Home sales slump & seller psychology 20:07 Strategy recap: sell → rent → stack metals → buy cash-flow later Gold & silver vs. housing: Mike and Alan argue we’re in a rare cycle where precious metals’ purchasing power rises sharply as real estate weakens; housing priced in gold/silver still hasn’t reached prior extremes, implying more upside for metals (their view). Affordability gap: Renting beats buying by one of the widest margins on record; mortgage-payment-to-income has surged while rent-to-income hasn’t kept pace—reinforcing their “rent now, buy later (with metals)” strategy. For general context, third-party analyses also show renting can be financially rational depending on costs and opportunity cost of capital. Glasp House prices in metal terms: In 1980, homes were “super cheap” when priced in gold/silver; given today’s debts/valuations, they think metals’ purchasing power could overshoot those levels, turning a house’s price into a fraction of today’s ounces. What must “give”: To get back to late-2010s affordability, they cite scenarios like ~40% home-price declines, ~60% income gains, or sub-3% mortgages—and argue the most plausible path is a price correction in housing. Tactical takeaway (their thesis): Consider selling into the housing bubble, renting, and holding silver (then gold) to potentially convert later into multiple properties when real estate reprices (not financial advice). ----------------------------------------------------------------- GoldSilver is one of the most trusted names in precious metals.
