TOM:

Should you buy, hold, or sell your gold stocks right now?

Gold has gone from all time highs above $5,000 to lows around $4,000…

And now seems to be back on the rise again.

I’m Tom Mustin.

And if you're worried you missed the boom, or worried about catching a falling knife, you need to pay close attention.

Because according to my guest today, the final, and biggest, phase of gold's boom is only just beginning.

The man across from me is about to show you how an average account could turn into $1.02 million or more just months from now.

All without risky options.

Without touching a single mining stock.

And without needing to be accredited.

I know how that sounds.

But stay with me, because gold just did something that likely fooled a lot of people.

In early 2026, it ran to a record above $5,500 an ounce, then suffered its worst crash since 1983.

Most people saw that crash and walked away for good.

A handful of the smartest investors alive did the exact opposite.

And the biggest bank on Wall Street just put it in writing.

"We remain firmly and bullishly convicted in gold."
—JPMorgan, projecting $6,300 an ounce

“We remain firmly and bullishly convicted in gold.”

That's JPMorgan, projecting $6,300 an ounce.

Meanwhile, central banks are hoarding gold at the fastest pace ever recorded.

Just look at this headline from the World Gold Council.

My guest believes this is the last real window for regular investors to get in before the price potentially goes parabolic.

And before we finish, he has agreed to hand you, free, the name and ticker of one of billionaire John Paulson's biggest gold bets, a little-known gold company that just landed a $2.9 billion loan from the Trump administration.

So stay with us.

Our guest today is Nick Hodge.

He's a multimillionaire resource investor who has uncovered investments that went on to gain as much as 18,300%, written several bestselling books, and spoken from the stage at the biggest resource conferences on earth.

And right now, he's issuing an urgent warning.

He says:

"A rare event I call Gold's Secret Countdown could set off the final, and biggest, gold boom in history. Most investors will miss it. The ones who see it coming could get rich."
—Nick Hodge

Nick, welcome.

NICK:

Thanks, Tom.

Good to be here.

But I want to start with the question everyone watching is really asking.

Gold just had its best run in a generation, and then it crashed hard.

I'm sure a lot of people are wondering how I could think the biggest gains are just ahead.

TOM:

That's what I was about to ask.

To me, it seems like gold reached its top and retracted from there.

I'm not sure where it's going next.

But as an investor, it makes me uneasy.

NICK:

That's probably how most people feel.

And it makes sense on the surface.

But most folks don't understand how a gold boom actually works.

It’s never one smooth climb.

But rather, it moves in three distinct phases.

TOM:

Okay, could you walk us through them?

NICK:

Of course, and this is crucial to understanding where we're at right now…

And the massive opportunity in front of us.

To put it plainly.

Phase one is a long, painful wash-out that scares everyone off.

Phase two is a quiet stretch where the smart money loads up while no one is watching.

And phase three is the mania, where the public piles in at any price and drives gold to numbers that sound insane today.

In the last hundred years, that full pattern has completed only twice.

Both times, it minted a wave of brand-new millionaires.

TOM:

So are you saying that gold's recent run up wasn't phase three?

And what about the crash?

Was that the top?

NICK:

No, that wasn’t the top – not by a long shot.

And it wasn't phase three, either.

It was the shakeout right before phase three.

Which means we're standing at the door of the actual boom.

But here's the thing.

These phases don't just happen on their own.

They're driven by a kind of timer, running quietly behind the gold market.

I call it Gold's Secret Countdown.

Think of it like a bomb in a movie, ticking down until it hits zero.

TOM:

A countdown.

And what happens when it hits zero?

NICK:

It explodes, phase three ignites, and gold blasts higher.

It could happen as early as a few months from now.

And when it does, I believe it sets off the final, the biggest, and the most explosive gold boom in financial history.

I'll show you what’s behind it a little later. But you need to understand the rest of the story first.

TOM:

Well I want to hear more about that.

But if what you’re saying is true…

Is now the right time to buy gold, or a gold mining stock?

NICK:

You certainly could.

And you might do okay.

In fact, you might do more than okay.

But here's the truth.

When that countdown hits zero, gold rising is only half the story.

Because one specific kind of investment doesn't just rise with gold.

It multiplies the move… ten, twenty, even fifty times over.

I call them Gold Scripts.

TOM:

Gold Scripts.

I have to admit, I’ve never heard the term.

NICK:

Almost no one has.

And that’s because these are a tiny segment of the gold market.

Most people don’t know about them.

But they’re extremely powerful when gold starts to run.

TOM:

Okay, you’ve got my attention.

Have these Gold Scripts actually made people the kind of money you're describing?

NICK:

See for yourself.

One ran 200% in just four months.

Another ran 917% in about two and a half years.

And a third ran 2,358%.

TOM:

In plain money, that last one turns $25,000 into more than $600,000.

That’s not upgrade-your-car money.

That's pay-off-the-house money.

NICK:

That’s the power of a Gold Script.

And it's not just everyday investors taking notice.

Tether, the crypto giant worth more than $100 billion, has quietly moved tens of millions into these.

A major gold producer took a big stake in another one.

And one of the most successful mining families alive did the same.

TOM:

So why have I never heard of this before?

NICK:

Because they're one of the best-kept secrets in the gold market.

They aren't mining stocks.

Not bars or coins.

Not the ETFs everyone owns.

And no, they have nothing to do with options.

A Gold Script is a special kind of contract that hands you enormous leverage to a rising gold price, without the risks that wipe out most gold investors.

And I believe we could be weeks away from a gold surge that eclipses every boom that came before it.

Today, I'm going to prove it to you with undeniable evidence.

TOM:

Well hold on, Nick.

Before you go any further, I think everyone watching should hear a little more about who you are.

Because this is a big claim, and your track record is the reason to take it seriously.

For starters, let me show everyone the kind of calls you’ve made.

A few years back, you found a tiny company that went on to run 18,300%.

You called another that ran 11,025%.

And another that ran 910%.

And those are just the ones that fit on the screen.

You've called 1,480% on Lithium X, 1,390% on Hannan Metals, 940% on URZ Energy, 740% on Silver Hammer, 552% on Rupert Resources, and plenty more.

Now do the math on that first one. 18,300% turns $10,000 into nearly $2 million.

Even $5,000 becomes close to a million dollars.

NICK:

Tom, I appreciate that, but I also want to let the audience know that I've had losses, too. Plenty of them.

There's always risk with investing.

TOM:

Of course, and it's a good reminder.

But your track record speaks for itself.

You've mastered the art of winning far more than you lose.

And you don't hand out recommendations lightly.

Just this summer, on stage at the biggest resource conference in the country, you warned investors that most junior mining stocks are what you called lifestyle companies.

Companies that mine their shareholders instead of the ground.

NICK:

I did say that.

And I stand by it.

Eighty to ninety percent of that sector isn't worth owning.

TOM:

Which is exactly why people should listen now.

Because today, your call is the opposite of a warning.

You believe we could be standing at the start of the biggest gold boom ever seen.

NICK:

I do.

TOM:

So let me be blunt.

How can you back this up?

What hard evidence can you point to that says this gold boom could be bigger than any before it?

NICK:

Well, what we're seeing right now are the final stages before a full-blown change in how the world thinks about money.

Start with the banks.

JPMorgan is calling for $6,300 gold.

Deutsche Bank and UBS are above $6,000.

The most conservative names on Wall Street are raising their gold targets, not cutting them.

Then look at who's actually buying.

The central banks of the world are stockpiling gold at the fastest pace in decades.

And they aren't buying to trade.

They're buying to hold.

Then there’s the billionaires.

John Paulson, the man behind the greatest trade in Wall Street history, now holds more than a third of his net worth in gold.

Ray Dalio holds hundreds of millions’ worth.

Thomas Kaplan, who owns half a billion dollars of it, says gold is headed to at least $10,000 an ounce.

Then there's the money you'd never expect to see in gold.

When Costco started selling gold bars, they sold out in hours. And that happened each time they restocked.

Google searches for “buy gold” just hit a 21-year high.

And lastly, there’s Washington itself.

The Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and even the United States Senate have all started circling the same idea.

I'll come back to that in a few minutes, because it matters more than you’d think.

But Tom, as astonishing as all of that is, it's just the setup.

The hidden event I'm going to reveal connects every one of those pieces.

And almost no one sees it coming.

There are three forces lining up behind gold right now, and I'm going to walk you through each one of them.

This isn't just another good year for gold.

We could be looking at the biggest shift of wealth any of us will see in our lives.

TOM:

So for the first time, the biggest banks, the central banks, the billionaires, and even the crypto giants are all piling into gold at the same time.

And on top of that, you're planning to reveal three forces that could push gold far higher than any of them expect.

Nick, this sounds like a complete shift in the financial system.

NICK:

It is.

And the most incredible thing is that the average person has a real shot at getting ahead of it this time.

Think about this.

The last two gold booms minted a wave of millionaires when most Americans couldn't easily buy gold at all.

In the 1930s it was illegal to own.

In the 1970s you needed a coin dealer and a safe.

Today anyone can buy a Gold Script from a brokerage app in about a minute.

Imagine what this boom does with that kind of access.

And to add fuel to the fire…

The world's mines can’t keep up with the rising gold demand.

Global gold output has barely grown in a decade.

It takes ten years or more to find, permit, and build a new mine.

Meanwhile central banks and China are swallowing a bigger share of every ounce that comes out of the ground.

So the supply is shrinking at the exact moment the biggest buyers on earth are showing up.

That's a squeeze, and a squeeze is what forces a market to go vertical.

TOM:

Okay, I hear you.

But can you take us through the specifics?

NICK:

Yes.

In a moment I'll walk you through three forces that are lining up to drive the biggest gold boom ever seen.

And before we're done, I'll give you one of my favorite gold plays for this boom, completely free.

It’s one of John Paulson's biggest gold bets.

TOM:

Sounds great.

But let's be clear about something first.

Gold has already climbed from around $1,200 an ounce back in 2018 to a record above $5,500 in 2026.

That's more than four times higher.

And you're saying this is only the beginning?

What are you seeing here that the rest of the market is missing?

Gold's Secret Countdown Has Begun: Ticking Toward The Moment The Entire Gold Market Could Go Vertical

NICK:

Tom, hardly anyone realizes this.

But a countdown has started.

It's counting down to the moment I expect the whole gold market to erupt.

Take a look at this.

See this highlighted section on the chart?

That's the Mania Phase.

I believe we're about to enter it, and when we do, a select group of Gold Scripts could go on the biggest run of their lives.

This full three-phase pattern has completed only twice before in gold.

Both times, it created life-changing wealth for the people who got in early.

I'll show you both.

And then I'll show you a more recent run that proves why Gold Scripts are the way to play the next one.

In both of those completed cycles, the same hidden timer was ticking before the market exploded.

That timer is Gold's Secret Countdown.

Start with the 1930s.

In the depths of the Depression, gold was left for dead.

That was phase one.

But the countdown was already running.

And in 1934, the timer hit zero.

President Roosevelt revalued gold nearly 70% higher overnight, from $20.67 to $35 an ounce.

The gold stocks exploded.

Homestake Mining surged more than 500%.

Dome Mines, more than 550%.

And Alaska Juneau ran more than 1,600%.

TOM:

Wow.

And what does that work out to? 1,600% every $100 into $1,700.

And $1,000 was more than a year's wages back then.

In the middle of the Great Depression.

NICK:

Right.

And the people who bought during phase two, before the timer hit zero, made the most.

Bernard Baruch reportedly made millions loading up on gold stocks in the quiet years.

A brand-new class of millionaires, minted in the worst economy in American history.

How incredible is that?

Now, the next gold boom started in 1971.

That's when Nixon cut the dollar's tie to gold.

And once again, Gold's Secret Countdown had begun.

For most of the decade, gold drifted while the smart money quietly moved in.

Then in 1979, the timer hit zero.

It became a frenzy.

And it ran from $240 to $850 an ounce in just twelve months.

TOM:

More than triple in a year.

NICK:

But the real money wasn't made in the metal.

It was made in the small gold stocks.

Eagle River ran 3,478%.

Silverado, nearly 4,000%.

Copper Lake, 13,000%.

On average, the gold stocks in that phase gained more than 2,300%.

TOM:

Those were penny stocks back then.

Almost anyone could have bought a few thousand shares.

But to be clear, you aren't only chasing the tiny names, right?

Because in the last boom, one of the biggest, safest Gold Scripts in the world did just as well.

NICK:

It did.

That boom is the one I really want people to study, because it's the closest to today.

It started in 2001.

Gold soared 660% over the next decade.

And here's what’s interesting.

Newmont, the biggest gold miner on the planet, gained just 200% in that boom.

Less than a third of gold's move.

Barrick told the same story.

It dealt with cost overruns, labor disputes, and production delays that limited its gains, despite gold's massive rise.

TOM:

But the Gold Scripts?

NICK:

Take a look.

TOM:

One of the biggest ran 2,358%.

Another, 1,300%.

So the miners caught a sliver of the move, and the Gold Scripts multiplied it.

NICK:

Every time.

And the same thing happened after that boom ended.

From 2011 to 2023, gold mining stocks got absolutely destroyed.

The biggest gold miner ETF fell 40%.

Some individual miners lost 60, 70, even 80% of their value.

Meanwhile, Gold Scripts held their ground.

One of them gained 238% over that same stretch.

Because Gold Scripts don't face the same problems as mining companies.

That's what sold me on them.

I found my first Gold Script back in 2016, when it was trading for about 14 cents a share.

Within a few years, it was worth more than ten times that.

Anyone who had put $20,000 into it could have walked away with more than $200,000.

Ten times their money, on the very first Gold Script I ever found.

Now, to be clear, not every Gold Script is a winner, and catching a peak like that takes good timing.

For every big winner, plenty of gold stocks go nowhere.

Which is exactly why I dig into the contracts, the management, and the mines behind each one before I recommend it.

It's how you separate the Scripts that could run fifty times over from the ones that quietly bleed out.

And right now, what I’m seeing is unlike anything in my career.

To be blunt, this boom could dwarf 1934 and 1979 combined.

And the event driving it may only ever happen once.

TOM:

I hear you.

But I have to ask what people at home are wondering.

You keep bringing up huge gains from companies almost nobody has heard of.

So how do you find these little-known Gold Scripts before they catch fire?

NICK:

Two ways, Tom.

Who I know, and the work I do myself.

First, along the way I got to know high-level people inside the investing world's backrooms, as I call them.

People like my mentor, Jeff Phillips, who made tens of millions in the resource world.

Rick Rule, one of the most respected names in natural resources.

And even folks like John Paulson himself.

Second, I actually do the work.

I get my hands on the actual contracts.

I fly to the mine sites.

I sit across the table from the management teams.

I put my own money on the line.

TOM:

And I'd add, for anyone new to you, that none of this is luck.

Your background speaks for itself.

You spent nearly two decades at a financial publishing firm in Baltimore, where you built the most successful division that firm ever had.

You've written several bestselling books.

You're a regular on the biggest resource stages in the world.

Then there's this.

NICK:

Yes, that's home.

I started as a regular kid from a middle-class family in Maryland who knew nothing about gold.

Today I live on a homestead in the countryside, on my own terms.

And I was able to buy it because I bought the right resource stocks right before the mania hit.

Which is exactly the kind of moment we're in today.

And it’s why I’d like to share one specific gold play, completely free.

I think it could give anyone a solid place to start.

TOM:

We're all looking forward to that, Nick.

But first, I need to raise something.

You're predicting the biggest gold boom in history.

Yet gold just suffered its worst crash in more than forty years.

How do you square that?

NICK:

There's a precise reason for it.

And it's the reason this is the moment to get positioned.

Look at this chart.

This is the 2026 gold boom, laid over the same three phases we saw in 1934 and 1979.

Here's the wash-out, from 2011 to 2015, when gold fell by nearly half and everyone gave up on it.

Here's phase two, the long quiet climb from around $1,200 to a record above $5,500, while central banks and billionaires loaded up.

And here, right at the end, is the crash.

See where we are?

That's the shakeout.

It's the quiet before the storm, right before this market enters its final phase.

The moment right before gold goes vertical.

In that final phase, we potentially don't just see modest gains.

We could see 10x, 20x, even 50x moves in Gold Scripts.

And they can come fast.

And it isn't just me saying this.

Ray Dalio, who built the biggest hedge fund in the world, has been telling investors to keep a meaningful chunk of their money in gold.

TOM:

Okay.

And why is that?

What actually sets it off?

NICK:

Well, to explain why the moment is now, I'm going to take you through the three forces I mentioned.

But before I do, you need to understand the vehicle behind the potential – the Gold Script itself.

TOM:

Fair enough.

So what is a Gold Script?

NICK:

At its heart, it's a simple agreement between two companies.

On one side is a gold mining company that needs cash.

To expand a mine, build a new one, or pay down debt.

But the banks won't lend to them on favorable terms, because mining is considered too risky.

And selling more stock would punish the shareholders they already have.

So instead, they use a Gold Script.

TOM:

And the other side?

The side a regular person could actually own?

NICK:

That's where it gets good for us.

The mining company takes a pile of cash upfront.

In exchange, it agrees to sell its gold at a steep, fixed discount for years to come.

In some cases, as much as 80% below the market price.

No matter how high gold climbs.

TOM:

Hold on.

Why would any miner agree to sell its own gold cheap, for years?

That sounds like a terrible deal for them.

NICK:

It sounds that way until you're the one who needs the money.

They need cash today, and this is the one way to get it without drowning in debt or watering down their investors.

The upfront check even lowers their overall costs enough to make the deal work.

They solve their problem now.

And you, the person holding the Gold Script, get an incredible amount of leverage to rising gold prices.

TOM:

Leverage.

Show me how that actually works.

NICK:

Say your Gold Script lets you buy gold at $700 an ounce, and you sell it at the market price.

When gold is $2,000, that's $1,300 of pure profit on every single ounce.

At $3,000, it's $2,300 profit.

And your cost never moves.

It's frozen the day the contract is signed.

TOM:

So as gold climbs, the gap between what you pay and what you sell for keeps widening.

NICK:

The gap can widen infinitely as gold rises.

And it's the exact opposite of what happens to a mining company.

A miner is on a treadmill.

When gold goes up, a miner's costs tend to go up too.

Labor, fuel, equipment, permits.

Their costs chase the price higher, so their profit barely moves.

A Gold Script's cost was locked in years ago.

So every dollar gold rises drops almost straight into your pocket.

TOM:

Can you give me a real example of a company doing this right now?

NICK:

There's one Gold Script company I follow that buys its gold at an average of about $470 an ounce.

With gold above $4,000 an ounce, that's more than $3,500 an ounce in pure profit.

In 2024, they ran 300,000 ounces through those contracts.

TOM:

Wow.

Thirty-five hundred dollars an ounce, times 300,000 ounces.

That's more than a billion dollars.

In a single year.

NICK:

From contracts that cost a fraction of that to sign.

TOM:

And when gold falls?

Does the whole thing crash the way the miners do?

NICK:

That's the beautiful part.

The same contract that soars in a boom tends to hold its ground in a bust, because the cost is fixed and the gold keeps flowing.

That's the 238% gain you saw earlier, while the miners were cut in half.

TOM:

And this is something an ordinary person can actually buy?

NICK:

Yes.

No options.

No accreditation.

No broker you have to beg for access.

A Gold Script trades under a normal ticker, in a normal brokerage account. You can buy them with Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood or whatever one you use.

And some of the best still trade for under a dollar.

You could buy one today in five minutes.

Now, with that out of the way, you're ready to see what's actually driving this boom.

Gold Catalyst #1:
Gold's Secret Countdown

TOM:

Then let's start with the first force.

The countdown.

NICK:

For starters, most people think gold just tracks inflation, or moves opposite the dollar.

TOM:

So what actually sets off a gold boom?

NICK:

A single event.

And it's the same event every time.

The government revalues gold.

In 1934, Roosevelt signed one order and the official price of gold jumped 69% overnight.

That was the timer hitting zero.

And that's what launched the boom that minted a new class of millionaires in the Depression.

TOM:

So you're saying that happens again?

Nick, I have to be honest.

That sounds like something out of a conspiracy theory.

Governments don't just wave a wand and quadruple the price of gold.

NICK:

I understand what it might sound like.

So don’t take it from me.

Take it from history.

It's not a theory that Roosevelt did exactly this in 1934.

It's not a theory that the Treasury still values its gold at $42 an ounce while the market says it’s more than $4,000.

And it's not a theory that Washington is running out of options for its massive debt problem.

I'm not asking you to believe a conspiracy.

I'm asking you to look at history and what’s happening in the real world.

Here, look at this chart.

TOM:

Okay, what am I looking at?

NICK:

This bottom line is what the United States government says its own gold is worth.

$42.22 an ounce.

That number hasn't changed since 1973.

TOM:

And the top line?

NICK:

That's the market price.

Gold is trading above $4,000.

TOM:

So the government's number has barely moved in fifty years, while the real price has gone up more than a hundred times.

NICK:

Now zoom in on the last ten years.

See phase two?

The market line climbed from $1,200 to $5,500, while the official line sits frozen at the bottom.

The gap has never been this wide in history.

And the wider that gap grows, the more pressure builds to close it.

TOM:

So where are we in the timeline?

NICK:

We're in the window where the biggest gains get claimed.

Right at the edge of the Mania Phase.

Because the moment Washington closes that gap, the timer hits zero, and every Gold Script sitting on cheap gold becomes one of the most profitable companies on the market.

Overnight.

That's why I'm telling people to get positioned now.

Because once the timer hits zero, the biggest gains may already be gone.

TOM:

Let me make sure I'm following.

Gold has been climbing for a decade while the government's own number has been frozen since Nixon.

The gap is the widest ever.

And a revaluation closes it in one stroke.

But if it's that simple, why hasn't it happened already?

NICK:

Because a revaluation is a last resort.

And to see why the last resort could be coming, you have to look at the debt.

It has blown past $40 trillion.

The interest alone now tops a trillion dollars a year, rivaling what we spend on the entire military.

And more than $20 trillion of it has to be refinanced this decade, at far higher rates.

That interest is now the fastest-growing line item in the entire federal budget.

Left alone, it swallows everything.

TOM:

So what are the options?

NICK:

There’s really only three.

Print trillions more and crush the dollar.

Default, which is unthinkable.

Or revalue the one asset the government already owns and has barely touched in fifty years.

And that raises the obvious question.

Revalue it to what?

Well, I'm not the only one who believes gold could be revalued far higher.

A veteran Geneva banker says $15,000 gold would cover years of deficits.

Analyst Craig Hemke sees $15,000 as the way to counter China.

Luke Gromen says it may take $20,000 to make the debt sustainable.

Jim Rickards and Robert Kiyosaki have floated $27,000.

And Doug Casey says $40,000 is on the table.

$20,000 sits right in the middle of that range, so that's the number I'll use.

The United States sits on 8,133 tons of gold.

On the books, it's worth about $11 billion.

Revalue it toward $20,000 an ounce, and you create more than $5 trillion in new assets overnight, out of gold the country already owns.

TOM:

But how does raising a number on a ledger create real money the government can actually use?

NICK:

Because the Treasury can pledge that gold to the Federal Reserve and be credited dollars against it.

Mark the gold up from $42 to $20,000, and that credit balloons into the trillions.

Real cash the government can spend or use to retire debt.

Governments only reach for it when everything else has run out.

And right now, everything else is running out.

Which gives everyone watching a rare chance.

To buy in before the timer hits zero, alongside the central banks that are already stockpiling.

TOM:

Nick, before this interview, our team worked out what a move like that would do to one of these Gold Scripts.

And what we found was hard to believe.

If gold were revalued to $20,000, and a Gold Script is still buying its gold at $400 to $600 an ounce, it would earn more than $19,000 an ounce in pure profit.

Its margins would jump more than 2,000%.

Overnight.

We're talking about the kind of move that could turn $10,000 into $500,000.

Or $50,000 into $2.5 million.

From a single announcement.

NICK:

Right.

But let me be clear on this.

Not every position works out, and no strategy wins all the time, which is why you should never invest money you can’t afford to lose.

But you can see the raw power of what a Gold Script does when a setup like this hits.

And here's what's even more astonishing.

The Treasury Secretary himself said the government would monetize the asset side of its balance sheet.

Wall Street read that as a gold revaluation, and the idea hasn't gone away.

In fact, the Federal Reserve published a paper on exactly this.

And a sitting United States senator has already written a bill that would revalue the government's gold from $42.22 to the market price.

TOM:

So this is no longer just talk.

NICK:

It's on paper, with a bill number.

When the Treasury, the Fed, and the Senate all circle the same idea at around the same time, I stop calling it a fringe theory.

And I start calling it a countdown.

It could be announced as early as a few months from now.

I can’t promise it'll definitely happen.

But the pressure is building in plain sight, and the whispers are only getting louder.

And even if it comes later than I think, gold grinding to $5,000 or $10,000 still hands the right Gold Script life-changing gains.

You don't need the perfect outcome to change your life.

But Tom, that's only the first force.

Because the next force I'm watching could send a flood of money into gold, and keep it coming for years.

And as a reminder, in a moment I'll also share my favorite gold play for this boom, completely free.

TOM:

Sounds great.

But first, let's hear the next force.

Gold Catalyst #2:
The Great Escape From The Dollar

NICK:

Tom, what I'm about to describe wasn't there in 1934.

It wasn't there in 1979.

And I understand it might sound like an exaggeration.

But more of the world is moving away from the dollar right now than at any time since 1971.

And that shift could push trillions of dollars into gold.

TOM:

Trillions?

Where would that kind of money even come from?

NICK:

Let me show you.

This chart shows the biggest pools of money on Earth.

Global real estate, worth more than $350 trillion. The world's stock markets, more than $120 trillion. Global debt, more than $300 trillion.

Now look at gold.

All the gold ever mined, every bar in every vault on the planet, is worth about $30 trillion.

That's tiny next to the stock market or real estate.

And the Gold Scripts are a sliver of that.

Less than one-tenth of one percent of the companies on the market.

So the money is already out there.

The question is what happens when even one percent of it decides it wants to be in gold.

It doesn't fit.

The price has nowhere to go but up.

TOM:

Agreed.

But I'm still focused on where the trillions actually come from.

NICK:

It's simple.

The world has walked away from gold exactly once.

In 1971, when Nixon cut the tie.

And now, for the first time since 1971, the biggest players on earth are walking back.

Start with the BRICS nations.

Brazil, Russia, India, China.

They're piloting a new trade currency backed 40% by gold.

It launched last fall.

Russia, cut off from the dollar system, has been stacking gold.

And it now settles nearly all of its trade with China outside the dollar.

China is right behind them.

They've been buying so aggressively that gold has traded at record premiums in Shanghai.

And the central banks as a group?

More than 1,000 tonnes a year in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

And another 860 tonnes in 2025.

The fastest sustained buying since the 1960s.

China's central bank has added to its gold month after month.

Turkey and India are buying.

And these aren't traders.

Once a central bank buys gold, it almost never sells.

TOM:

That's staggering.

And what has all that buying done to Gold Scripts?

NICK:

Look at what happened on the climb to gold's record.

TOM:

I'm seeing the best Gold Scripts grew their revenue more than 90% in a single year.

Some of the smaller ones more than tripled off their lows.

And one ran 200% in just four months.

NICK:

And that was with the public still on the sidelines.

Because here's what's incredible.

The buying has started to spread.

Gold funds pulled in a record $89 billion in 2025.

Funds in Asia nearly doubled their gold holdings.

And in 2026 they bought even faster.

TOM:

So it's almost a domino effect.

First the governments, then the central banks, and now the public is starting to move.

NICK:

That's exactly it.

And here's the part most people miss.

When the dollar weakens, gold goes up in dollars.

But that doesn't mean it goes up in euros or yen.

Right now, gold is at record highs in all of them.

Which tells you this isn't about a weak dollar.

It's about people everywhere losing faith in paper money.

That’s not just a rally.

That's a stampede out of paper money and into gold.

TOM:

Hold on, Nick.

All of that money still has to go somewhere.

Why would any of it end up in these Gold Scripts, instead of just gold bars?

NICK:

Because the smart money already knows where the leverage is.

Every dollar that pushes gold higher multiplies through a Gold Script, because the Script's cost is frozen.

And the big money knows it.

That's why the crypto giant I mentioned earlier put its money into Gold Scripts and not just bars.

And now Wall Street is building gold-backed digital tokens so trillions in crypto money can move into gold with one click.

Every new way to buy gold brings new buyers into a market that's tiny compared to stocks and bonds.

And when new money pours into a tiny market, the price can move fast.

TOM:

So how much more money could actually flow into gold?

NICK:

Easily hundreds of billions.

Trillions, if the revaluation lands.

Look at what the revaluation alone does.

Gold at $20,000 turns that $30 trillion market into a $130 trillion market.

And the Gold Scripts, sitting on cheap gold, multiply the move.

The people positioned in the right Scripts have a shot to turn a modest stake into a seven-figure account.

TOM:

So anyone who waits could miss the move entirely.

NICK:

Yes, and the window is closing faster than people realize.

Because at the same moment all that money is arriving, the physical gold is disappearing.

Mine supply has stopped growing.

And look at this.

The central banks lock away every ounce they buy, and China is pulling in metal at a premium, so the gold that actually reaches the market shrinks every year.

When a supply squeeze like that meets a stampede of demand, you get the kind of move that only happens a couple of times a century.

TOM:

There's no doubt this is going to be a wild ride, Nick.

But you mentioned there's one more force that could send gold even higher.

Gold Catalyst #3:
The Most Pro-Gold Government In History

NICK:

Yes.

And this one comes down to something almost nobody has noticed.

Washington itself has quietly turned pro-gold.

And by pro-gold, I mean a government that's buying, financing, and openly discussing gold, instead of ignoring it.

You already saw what the Treasury, the Fed, and the Senate have been saying.

Now look at what Washington is doing.

The Trump administration just handed a $2.9 billion government loan to a single gold mining company and fast-tracked its permits.

The United States government is now financing gold mines.

TOM:

Wow.

So the government has a lot of skin in this game.

NICK:

More than at any time since the 1930s.

And it isn't just one loan.

Washington has started taking ownership stakes in American mining companies, something it hasn’t done in living memory.

The White House signed an order making new mines a national priority, cutting permit reviews that used to take years down to months.

TOM:

The last time Washington threw its weight behind gold like this was 1934, when Roosevelt revalued it.

NICK:

And you saw what that did for gold stocks.

But back then there were no Gold Scripts.

Today there are.

And in the last boom, the Scripts could have turned $50,000 into more than $1.2 million, while the best miners could have turned it into only $150,000.

TOM:

Same gold.

More than ten times the result.

NICK:

And it isn't only the federal government.

The states are moving, too.

Texas built its own gold depository.

Texas, Florida, Utah, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri have all passed laws recognizing gold and silver as money.

And more are lining up.

In fact, I could drive 30 minutes to Idaho from my home in Washington and legally pay someone in gold for any goods or service.

Because they just recently passed their own laws making gold legal tender.

TOM:

So the race is on at the state level, too.

NICK:

And beyond our borders as well.

Countries around the world are racing to build gold reserves.

Take Poland.

Most people have no idea, but Poland's central bank bought more gold in 2025 than almost anyone on earth.

And they have said publicly they want nearly a third of their reserves in gold.

Now imagine the bigger countries doing the same thing.

China, India, and Turkey already are.

Now think about this.

What happens when states and entire countries all start doing this at once?

Every dot on this map could mean billions of dollars in fresh buying.

And when those dots start lighting up together, you get a buying frenzy.

Gold’s Secret Countdown is ticking away as we speak.

TOM:

Nick, this feels like an iceberg.

On the surface it looks like a gold rally.

But underneath it could be a complete reformation of the entire financial system.

NICK:

Right.

And it's happening for potentially the last time.

That's why getting positioned now matters so much.

There are roughly 58 million millionaires in the world.

Thousands of hedge funds.

And nearly every central bank on earth.

All of them looking at a gold market where mine supply grows about one percent a year.

Now, I'm not saying they're all going to buy Gold Scripts.

I'm saying that as they push gold higher, the Scripts multiply that move.

And there are so few of them, less than one-tenth of one percent of the stocks on the market, that even a trickle of investor money can send them soaring.

Tom, what do you think happens when that demand meets that supply?

TOM:

At that rate, the supply won't hold out for long.

And if you're right, the demand sends gold to new highs and the Scripts far past them.

Nick, I agree we could be about to see the biggest gold boom ever.

And there may never be another like it.

Which is why I'd like to hear about that pick you're giving away for free.

NICK:

That’s right, Tom.

And it fits perfectly with where we are in the cycle.

Remember the three phases?

As I said, I believe we're moving quickly into the Mania Phase.

And that's where the opportunity of a lifetime sits.

The Biggest Gold Shortage In History, Meeting The Biggest Wave Of Buyers In History

TOM:

Well, Nick, you have made a compelling case.

So here's the big question.

What should people buy right now, today?

NICK:

Well, to be clear, everyone needs to make their own choices on what to invest in.

But I’m putting my money where my mouth is.

And that’s why I’m going in on several Gold Scripts.

You see, ninety-nine percent of the people who try to play this boom are going to buy the wrong kind of gold.

They will buy the miners, the bars, the ETFs.

They will own gold, and still miss the real fortune.

And don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying owning those things is necessarily bad.

But Gold Scripts are different, as I’ve just shown today, and offer much greater upside potential.

And some still trade for under a dollar.

TOM:

So you aren't talking about speculating on the metal.

You're talking about owning actual companies with a locked-in cost.

NICK:

That's it.

I’ve identified a short list of Gold Scripts that could run fifty times over in this boom.

And I'll show you how to get every one of them in just a moment.

TOM:

Perfect.

I have to say, Nick, this has been an education.

But before we wrap up, tell everyone at home how they can get in on this once-in-a-lifetime gold boom.

NICK:

Absolutely, Tom.

Look, we could be standing at the start of the biggest wealth event any of us will ever see.

And Gold's Secret Countdown could hit zero at any time.

So the window to get positioned is closing.

That's why I built a plan to help everyday people profit from what may turn out to be the last great gold boom, and the most explosive one yet.

It starts with a report I call the Gold Scripts Millionaire Manual.

In short, I’ve spent years studying every Gold Script on the market.

The contracts.

The management.

The mines behind them.

From that research, I have identified the select few that meet my strict criteria.

A low, locked-in cost.

Multiple mines already producing gold.

A strong balance sheet.

And the right timing for the start of phase three.

And even if one pick disappoints, a single breakthrough Gold Script can still transform a modest account into a life-changing one.

TOM:

Okay, so you're targeting these Gold Scripts.

But before we get to the picks, I have to bring this up.

Before the cameras started rolling, you shared a Gold Script with me that blew my mind.

And I think our audience should really know about the peak potential these Gold Scripts have.

So can you share that with us now?

NICK:

I can.

The best-performing Gold Script I have ever tracked has risen 612,000% to its recent peak earlier.

TOM:

612,000 percent.

That turns just $5,000 into more than $30 million.

NICK:

That's on par with buying Amazon or Apple at the very beginning.

Now, not every position works out, and you should never risk money you can't afford to lose.

But that's what a Gold Script can do when a gold boom hits.

And I believe the setup in front of us is even better than the one that produced it.

So inside the Manual, I hand you my two top Gold Scripts for this boom.

Number one still trades for under a dollar.

It checks every box I just showed you.

Low locked-in cost.

Multiple producing mines.

A strong balance sheet.

And near-perfect timing.

If gold reaches $5,000, I believe it could hit $5.

At $10,000, it could hit $10.

And if the revaluation lands and gold hits $20,000, it could reach $20 or more.

That's a $10,000 stake becoming $200,000.

From one Gold Script that trades for less than a dollar today.

TOM:

And the second?

NICK:

The second is the most established, blue-chip Gold Script in the world.

It won't move as violently as the under-a-dollar pick, and that's the point.

It's the safe cornerstone you build the rest of your position around, the one that keeps working whether the revaluation comes next month or next year.

TOM:

Before we get into how people can get the Manual, is there anything else you're including today?

NICK:

There is.

Two more reports, and the free pick I promised.

But first, let me introduce the research service that all of this comes through.

It's called Foundational Profits.

That's where I publish my very best investment ideas, every month.

And it's not just gold.

I called Bitcoin back in 2013, near $400, before it gained more than 28,000%.

I called the battery revolution in 2007, before most people knew what Tesla was.

And I called the lithium boom, twice.

Now I believe the next one is the explosion in Gold Scripts.

When you join Foundational Profits, you get immediate access to the Gold Scripts Millionaire Manual, plus my ongoing research.

Every month I send you a detailed issue with new opportunities, exactly when to buy, when to hold, and when to sell.

And, I show you how much I own of each position. I eat my own cooking. Foundational Profits show exactly how I’m managing my long-term wealth.

You also get flash alerts the moment news hits one of our positions.

Plus quarterly live calls, where my team and I take your questions and provide market commentary and forecasts.

And access to my complete research library.

TOM:

So Nick, what does it cost to join Foundational Profits?

NICK:

Well, consider what it's worth.

Over the last five years, someone who followed my research could have turned a $100,000 account into more than $250,000.

That beat Ray Dalio's Bridgewater, Warren Buffett's Berkshire, and Cathie Wood's ARKK over the same stretch.

And a single one of these picks could turn a small stake into hundreds of thousands.

Foundational Profits normally costs $249 a year.

But I won't make you pay that today.

Because I'd like as many people as possible in position before the timer hits zero.

For people watching this presentation, I'm opening up a full year of Foundational Profits for just $199.

That's 20% off the regular price.

About 50-cents per day.

TOM:

That’s the price of two gumballs, for research that could make you a millionaire.

And someone doesn't need a fortune to act on this, right Nick?

NICK:

Not at all.

With a Gold Script under a dollar, $1,000 buys you a thousand shares.

If it only reaches the low end of my target, that's $30,000 from a single pick.

And picture what the top end buys.

A paid-off house.

A retirement that arrives ten years early.

You don't need to be rich.

You just need to be in the right Gold Scripts at the right time.

And that time is now.

TOM:

And Nick, I know you hear from members all the time.

What are they telling you?

NICK:

I'll let them tell you themselves.

Jim wrote in the day he joined: “I just signed up with you today… I doubled the cost of your subscription in two hours.”

John said: “Made $6k on one stock, so my subscription had more than paid for itself.”

Chris told me: “Grabbed a quick 36% gain today. That’ll take care of this year’s subscription price!”

And Garth wrote: “I’ve much more than paid for my subscriptions! I’m currently sitting on a 900% gain!”

TOM:

Those are real people.

NICK:

That’s right, real members making real money.

TOM:

That's an incredible offer, Nick.

So I know folks are going to want the details.

For anyone ready to get started, here's a quick rundown.

Today you'll receive the Gold Scripts Millionaire Manual, with Nick's top two Gold Scripts.

Twelve issues of Foundational Profits.

Flash alerts, quarterly live calls, and the research library.

And a 100% money-back guarantee, which Nick will explain in a moment.

If you're ready, there's a button on your screen right now.

Clicking it will take you to a secure order page, where you can review everything before you decide.

But Nick, you mentioned a few more bonuses for new members, didn't you?

NICK:

I did.

First, I have written a report on a third Gold Script most investors have never heard of.

I call it the Insiders' Gold Script.

TOM:

And what makes this one so special?

NICK:

It's run by a team that already built one Gold Script company and sold it for a fortune.

It already throws off tens of millions of dollars in cash flow, and in a boom like this one that stream alone could be worth a hundred million dollars a year, inside a company valued around a billion today.

But the real reason I wrote the report is who's already in it.

A major gold producer.

A hundred-billion-dollar crypto giant.

And one of the most successful mining families alive.

All three have quietly taken big stakes.

When that kind of money gets in early, I want you in beside them.

And it's yours free when you join today.

TOM:

Sounds great.

And if I'm not mistaken, you mentioned a report on a completely different metal?

NICK:

That's right.

Because the exact same kind of contract exists in uranium.

And right now, I believe uranium may be the most important metal of the next decade.

Artificial intelligence is devouring electricity, and the only power source that can run a data center around the clock is nuclear.

Microsoft is reviving Three Mile Island.

Amazon and Google are buying up reactors.

And the supply is nowhere close to where it needs to be.

America mines about 2% of the uranium it needs, Russian supply is banned, and a new mine takes a decade to build.

In the last uranium boom, the small players gained thousands of percent.

So I put my favorite uranium investment in a report I call The Atomic Script: How to Turn Big Tech's Nuclear Race Into 10X Gains.

And it's yours free today when you join.

TOM:

That's three reports.

What else?

NICK:

One more thing I insist on including.

A rare digital edition of James Dines' classic, Goldbug!, a book some call the bible of gold investing.

I was granted the rights to share it, and it's yours free as well.

And now, whether you join Foundational Profits or not, I want everyone to walk away from this conversation with something of real value.

TOM:

The free pick.

I know viewers have been waiting for this.

Nick Hodge's FREE Gold Pick

NICK:

You remember the man who made the single greatest trade in Wall Street history?

Who bet against the 2008 housing bubble and walked away with $15 billion?

They made a movie about it.

The Big Short.

TOM:

That’s right, John Paulson.

NICK:

Yes, John Paulson.

He's quietly setting up one of the biggest bets of his career.

He has put close to a billion dollars into one little-known gold company, and today he owns roughly 40 percent of it.

It's a gold mine in Idaho.

And the Trump administration just backed it with a $2.9 billion government loan, and fast-tracked its permits.

Its name is Perpetua Resources.

The ticker is PPTA.

Now, one thing I want to be upfront about.

Because of its size, and because it's a miner, Perpetua probably won't deliver the kind of explosive upside the Gold Scripts in my Manual could.

Think of it as the foundation.

The Gold Scripts are where the explosive upside is.

But it could still provide excellent gains as this boom unfolds.

So it's worth keeping on your radar.

TOM:

That's incredibly generous, Nick.

Thank you for that free pick.

So to recap, new members get the Millionaire Manual with two Gold Scripts, the Insiders' Gold Script, The Atomic Script, Goldbug!, a full year of Foundational Profits, and the free Perpetua pick whether they stay or not.

But before we go further, can you walk everyone through your money-back guarantee?

NICK:

Absolutely.

Try Foundational Profits for a full 30 days.

Read the reports.

Look at every pick.

If you aren't completely satisfied for any reason, you get every penny back, no questions asked.

And you keep the reports and Goldbug! as my gift.

So there's nothing to lose by trying it today.

TOM:

Nick, with the countdown ticking closer to zero, what would you like to leave our viewers with?

NICK:

I want people to understand how rare this moment is.

In the last hundred years, gold has completed this pattern only twice.

In 1934 and in 1979.

Each one created a new class of millionaires.

What's coming now, though, is on another level.

It's bigger.

And it may be your last real chance to build serious wealth from gold.

The three forces we discussed – Gold's Secret Countdown, the great escape from the dollar, and the most pro-gold government in history – are all converging at once.

Add a gold supply that can't keep up with demand, and you have a setup we may never get again.

Don't wait for gold to be all over the news and then buy a big-name miner, while the real fortune goes to the people who owned the right Gold Script first.

Click the button below, join Foundational Profits, and let me help you get positioned for what may be the wealth event of this century.

I look forward to seeing you inside the member’s area.

TOM:

Perfect.

You'll see the button on your screen right now.

Simply click it to secure your $199 membership and every bonus we discussed today.

And thank you, Nick, for sharing this.

To everyone watching, I wish you the very best in the gold boom ahead.

I'm Tom Mustin.

Thanks for watching.
