Returns 90d +8.9% (n=11) · 180d +18.5% (n=11) · 1y +20.4% (n=10)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

SILVER
bullish
Wealthion · video
Fiat debasement is entering a parabolic phase while physical silver supply is tightening toward 'unobtainium' conditions (evidenced by lease rate spikes), industrial demand from solid-state batteries alone could consume 96% of annual mine supply, and a…
“when I say three digits, I don't just mean the 100. That's a projection from the fixed price lows to the 80 high”
90d +34.2% · 180d +91.8% · 1y +81.2%
Francis Hunt: Silver Could Hit Triple Digits as Debasement, Debt & Stagflation Crisis Escalates
2025-08-21
GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Gold is in the parabolic third Elliott Wave leg — historically 61.8% larger than the 2000-2011 leg — driven by sovereign debt debasement that has eroded 8.4% of dollar purchasing power per year compounded over 54 years, now accelerating into convexity
“the debasement of a dollar is kind of like paying off a mortgage curve. Slow at first, and then suddenly very steep”
90d +22.0% · 180d +45.9% · 1y +37.8%

UK GILTS
bearish
Wealthion · video
The UK Labour government is running structural deficits that would require over 50% of IMF funding capacity to plug — far beyond prior Truss-era interventions — making a rate spike and property market contagion imminent, potentially within weeks to months
“I think that's going to be your next headline in terms of rates and debts”

2025-08-21
PLATINUM
bullish
Wealthion · video
Physical platinum supply has reached genuine shortage with London holding under 0.3 million ounces and unable to locate metal for contract delivery, while massive lease rate spikes confirm real supply stress rather than paper-market dynamics
“London literally has less than 0.3 million ounces and now they couldn't actually locate and make that available for contracts”

2025-05-29
HOUSING
bearish
Wealthion · video
Record unaffordability at 7-8% mortgage rates, 41% of new mortgage applications already being rejected, average homebuyer age rising to 57, and a coming credit freeze will trigger a housing crash with negative real returns for years
“I would live in one and I'd have nine of them on the market”
90d -21.2% · 180d -13.9% · 1y -8.9%

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
In a reserve asset crisis where bonds lose credibility, gold is the primary alternative reserve asset and will parabolically reprice 45 years of accumulated debt malfeasance—with the full rerating not yet begun and top-callers certain to shake out weak hands…
“This will look cheap in a year's time”
90d +2.3% · 180d +24.4% · 1y +36.5%

BITCOIN
bullish
Wealthion · video
Bitcoin will serve as digital gold in the new monetary system and at a $2.2T market cap has 10x+ upside potential as capital migrates from the collapsing fiat/bond system, though it carries far higher drawdown risk than physical gold in acute stress events
“The 10x is more likely on Bitcoin than gold”
90d +5.3% · 180d -17.3% · 1y -30.5%

2025-05-29
XRP
bullish
Wealthion · video
XRP is explicitly positioned as CBDC and B2B bank-settlement infrastructure for the incoming digital monetary system, has stated intent to work with central banks, and total crypto market caps must expand from $4T to absorb the collapsing $300-400T fiat debt…
“I mentioned XRP and that we've got beautiful technical setups and I expect them to go up immensely”

2025-05-29
PLATINUM
bullish
Wealthion · video
Platinum benefits from the same precious metals rerating as gold and silver in a reserve asset crisis and is technically well-positioned, included in his current 25% alternatives allocation alongside silver
“platinum in there which is looking really well”
Francis Hunt: The Financial Reset Has Begun
2025-05-29
Long Dur Treasuries
bearish
Wealthion · video
The 40-year bond bull market ended with a blowoff valuation top in late 2020, and as a global debt-based collapse unfolds, demand for long-duration treasuries is structurally broken with no mechanism to restore the prior level of trust
“the 40-year bond market bull is over and the repercussions of that is probably the biggest call I've ever made in my life”
90d -1.7% · 180d -7.1% · 1y -4.1%

DEFENSE
bearish
Wealthion · video
Defense stocks already delivered 30-40x returns on the hypermilitarization thesis, but as the US loses access to its debt-funding mechanism the tailwind is exhausted and the position should be exited rather than held
“we are less bullish now we think that's a place to have gone out of there”
