The stances below are c8alpha's editorial distillation of Gerald Celente's public commentary — television, podcasts, and interviews — compiled by automated transcript analysis and dated to the episode they came from. They may lag the speaker's current view and may contain extraction errors. Text in quotation marks is verbatim from the episode; everything else is our paraphrase. Gerald Celente is not affiliated with c8alpha and has not endorsed this page. Nothing here is investment advice.
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. “% correct” is the share of those scored calls whose direction-aware return was positive at the horizon — in a rising market a bullish call is correct by default, so read it beside the market, not alone.
Every tracked call with at least one matured horizon: the rows behind the Returns
line above. A dash is a horizon that has not matured yet.

Trillions in overinvestment in money-losing AI companies mirrors the dot-com bubble; China will dominate AI and displace US incumbents, triggering an 80% NASDAQ-style crash that drags down broader US equity markets
“We're going to see a dot-com bust and it's going to bring down the equity markets in the United States. It's going to crash.”

BITCOIN
bullish

Trump administration is politically captured by the crypto industry (over $100M in campaign/inauguration donations from crypto interests) ensuring sustained political tailwinds; Trump sons and family financially embedded in the sector
“We said Bitcoin's gonna explode. And as we're talking now, it's almost $120,000.”

AI is only 3 years old and massively overvalued — China is developing equivalent AI at a fraction of the cost (DeepSeek), mirroring the dot-com bubble where overinvestment in an infant technology led to an 80% NASDAQ crash
“There's going to be a .com bust. The AI trend was only born three years ago. It's still an infant.”

USD
bearish

BRICS nations are actively challenging dollar hegemony; lower interest rates (which Trump is forcing) deepen the dollar's decline; the dollar is already down 10.7% YTD — worst drop since 1973 when it was taken off the gold standard
“There's going to be a death of a dollar. The dollar this year is down 10.7% since the beginning of the year — the worst decline since 1973.”

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Global recession, bank failures from CRE defaults, dollar debasement, and BRICS de-dollarization all drive flight to gold as the only hard-money safe haven; note gold would be $2,000 higher were it not competing with crypto for safe-haven flows
“We're very bullish on gold. Gold prices went up nearly 30% and they're still going up.”

SILVER
bullish

Silver shares gold's safe-haven and monetary-metal properties and offers additional upside as a secondary beneficiary of dollar debasement and global monetary disorder
“And silver. Silver's a good bet, too.”

BANKS
bearish

CRE office loan defaults will trigger a wave of bank failures exceeding the 2023 SVB/Signature/First Republic episode, which itself caused a sharp equity selloff and gold spike
“Three banks went bust — markets go down, gold goes way up. You're going to see more than three banks fail.”
