Dear Reader,
Bank of America just put out a note.
Gold hits $6,000 per ounce by spring.
Not a typo. Six thousand dollars.
The Setup: Bank of America predicts gold hits $6,000/ounce by spring—the most aggressive forecast from any major institution—while gold is still "underinvested"
The Math: High-net-worth investors hold only 0.5% in gold (should be 20-30%), central banks hold 15% (should be 30%), and it takes just 14% more investment demand to hit the target
The Play: Gold has outperformed almost everything for years, but most "sophisticated" investors ignored it—smart money is rotating in now before monetary easing accelerates the move
The January 28th Ultimatum: The one date you MUST have circled on your calendar. Miss it, and you risk losing everything.
That's the most aggressive call from any major bank. Ever.
And while everyone's talking about it, I'm buying.
Here's my thinking.
The Numbers Tell a Story
BofA's Michael Hartnett studied the last four gold bull markets. Average gain? 300% over 43 months.
Run those numbers today? You get $6,000.
Their metals analyst Michael Widmer sees the same thing. Gold production is falling 2% this year. Mining costs are climbing to $1,600 per ounce. Miner profits? Up 41% in 2026.
This isn't speculation. This is supply and demand.
What the Smart Money's Doing
Want to know something crazy?
Central banks now hold more gold than U.S. Treasury bonds.
Think about that for a second. The people who run the global financial system trust gold more than U.S. government debt.
Right now, gold is 15% of their reserves. But research shows the optimal allocation is 30%.
They're still buying.
When central banks make moves like this, I pay attention.
The Portfolio Gap
Here's where it gets interesting.
Financial advisors love the traditional portfolio. 60% stocks, 40% bonds. Maybe a little real estate.
But research now shows that 20% in gold works better. Since 2020, you could even justify 30%.
Here's the shocking part: wealthy investors hold only 0.5% of their portfolios in gold.
Half of one percent.
These are supposed to be sophisticated investors. They're completely underweight.
The Opportunity
Widmer says something fascinating: gold is "overbought but underinvested."
Translation: Yes, prices are high. But almost nobody actually owns it yet.
Gold represents 4% of total financial markets. In professional portfolios? 0.5%.
That gap is massive.
And here's the key: It only takes a 14% increase in investment demand to hit $6,000. We've been averaging roughly that level already.
Want to know what $8,000 looks like? A 55% jump in demand.
When institutions finally rotate in, prices will move fast.
The Myth They Keep Telling You
Every financial advisor says the same thing: "Gold doesn't pay dividends. It doesn't yield anything. It just sits there."
Okay. So what?
Gold has been one of the best-performing assets for years. Pure price appreciation.
But they won't admit that. Know why?
Because they can't charge management fees on something this simple. They make money when you buy complicated products.
The Catalyst
U.S. monetary policy is the trigger.
When the Fed eases while inflation stays above 2%, gold historically rises 13% on average.
And you don't need rate cuts every month. Just the overall direction.Rates trending down? Gold goes up.
It's that simple.
The Silver Angle
Want more upside with more volatility? Look at silver.
The gold-to-silver ratio is sitting at 59. In 2011, it dropped to 32. That would put silver at $135 per ounce.
Back in 1980, the ratio hit 14. That implies $309 silver.
I'm watching both. Gold for the base position. Silver for extra pop.
Why Now
Retail investors are already moving. Gold ETF inflows in 2025 hit their highest level since 2020.
But institutional money? Mostly still sitting out.
When they rotate in—and they will because of benchmark risk—that's when prices really accelerate.
By the time you have perfect proof, the opportunity is gone.
What I'm Doing
I'm buying gold now. Not at $6,000.
Physical gold. Gold mining stocks. ETFs. All of it.
Bank of America sees $6,000 by spring. Central banks are accumulating. Retail money is flowing in. Institutions will follow.
Most investors will wait for confirmation. They'll buy at $5,500 or $6,000 and wonder why they're always late.
Look, I could be wrong. Markets are unpredictable.
But the math makes sense. The fundamentals are solid. The big players are positioning.
I'd rather be early than late.
What about you?

P.S. New gold price target: January 28 warning
Please read the following Gold Breakout Alert from out friends at Stansberry Research
Most investment banks predict gold will cross $6,000 an ounce this year.
Some analysts expect it to soar as high as $10,000.
In short: There 's no question 2026 will be a year of great uncertainty, especially as we get closer to the midterm elections.
And there 's no question gold could skyrocket as a result.
But I have an unfortunate truth to tell you...
Most folks will likely run out and buy bullion or mining stocks.
Sadly, these folks will likely miss out on the biggest gains.
That's because there's a much, much better way to invest in gold right now.
Most people know nothing about it.
But as I'll show you, if you follow this simple approach, which has nothing to do with bullion, ETFs, or mining stocks, the gains can be absolutely incredible.
In one period, it turned every $5,000 invested into more than $1.6 million.
Which is why we 're sounding the alarm on gold in 2026.
And why it 's critical for you to see our imminent gold prediction before Jan. 28
