Warren Buffett’s Favorite Metric Flashes Red
Essential Gold and Silver News Delivered to Your Inbox Every Week
The Buffett Indicator – which Warren Buffett himself calls "probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment" – has surpassed 200% for the first time in history.
To put this milestone in perspective: During the infamous dot-com bubble, this indicator peaked at 159%. During the 2008 financial crisis, it reached 183%. Today's reading of over 200% signals unprecedented territory...

While some analysts argue that modern factors like global revenue streams and evolving corporate structures may affect the indicator's accuracy, history suggests caution is warranted.
For investors, this unprecedented reading merits serious consideration. Prudent portfolio protection strategies might include:
Reviewing asset allocation
Adding defensive positions
Considering market hedges
Maintaining adequate cash reserves
When this metric reaches extreme levels, significant market adjustments often follow. Meanwhile, precious metals are making headlines with remarkable moves.
🥇 Gold Breaks Through $2,750
Gold's surge reached new heights on Wednesday, October 23, touching an unprecedented $2,758 per ounce. The precious metal continues to set fresh records almost daily, with year-to-date gains now exceeding 33%.
This momentum is increasingly catching the attention of institutional investors, who are adding substantial gold positions to their portfolios.
📈 Meanwhile, Silver Soars to 12-Year Highs
Not to be outdone, silver has mounted an impressive rally of its own, reaching nearly $35 per ounce on Tuesday – levels not seen since 2012. With year-to-date gains surpassing 40%, silver's advance is outpacing even gold's strong performance.
This surge is supported by a unique combination of growing investment demand and increasing industrial usage, highlighting silver's dual role as both a precious and industrial metal.
This powerful performance in precious metals comes at a crucial time, as traditional market indicators (like the Buffett Indicator) suggest increased risk in equities.
Many investors are viewing these metals not just as a hedge, but as an opportunity to capture significant upside potential.
💵 Gold Rush Paradox: Why Are Miners Struggling During a Metals Boom?
While gold and silver prices soar to new heights, an interesting phenomenon is unfolding: many mining stocks aren't keeping pace. This disconnect highlights a crucial lesson for precious metals investors.
Take Newmont Corp., the world's largest gold miner. Despite record-high gold prices, they've reported disappointing earnings and shrinking profit margins, causing their stock price to tumble.
And Newmont Mining is not alone in their struggles. Rivals Barrick Gold Corp (GOLD) and Rio Tinto Group (RIO) have also underperformed gold’s returns year to date.

🥇 The Mining Stock Dilemma: High Risk, High Reward
It's true: mining stocks have produced legendary returns in past bull markets. Stories of 10x, 20x, even 100x gains have attracted many investors seeking to multiply their precious metals exposure.
However, these potential "lottery tickets" come with complex challenges that can quickly erode profits:
Operational Costs: Rising labor, energy, and equipment expenses eat into margins
Regulatory Hurdles: Stricter environmental regulations and complex permitting processes
Geographic Risks: Political instability and varying regulations in mining regions
Management Challenges: Company decisions can make or break returns
Geological Uncertainty: Each mine faces unique extraction challenges
Leverage Risk: While operational leverage can amplify gains, it also magnifies losses
For investors looking to capitalize on gold and silver's powerful momentum, bullion offers the purest, most secure form of exposure – without the operational risks and volatility of mining stocks.

Congratulations to last week’s winner, Matthew M. The first civilization to mine silver on a large-scale basis was Greece.
Archaeological evidence suggests that large-scale silver mining began in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and Greece around 3000 BCE. The Laurium mines of ancient Athens were particularly significant, with peak production occurring between 600-300 BCE, yielding an estimated 31 tons of silver per year. This silver played a crucial role in funding the Greek navy and army, as well as creating enduring works of art.
Now, back to the question at hand this week... In medieval England, what was the term for the illegal practice of removing small amounts of precious metal from the edges of coins?
