Weekend Show – Rick Bensignor and Doc – Volatility Surges, Gold Breaks Out, Is U.S. Market Dominance Ending?
Welcome to the KE Report Weekend Show!
A historic week marked by heightened market volatility and tariff headlines saw sentiment shift from fear to cautious optimism. While gold is holding strong as a safe haven, the US Dollar and bonds are failing to follow suit.
This weekend, we step back to assess the broader market landscape – examining US indices, bond markets, investor positioning, and the role of precious metals in a shifting environment.
- Segment 1 & 2 – Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies kicks off the show to discuss the extreme market volatility, driven by algorithms and policy uncertainty, and how it’s forcing investors to reassess traditional strategies. He warns that typical safe havens like bonds and the dollar are failing, while gold is emerging as the only asset acting like a true safe haven in this unpredictable environment.

- Segment 3 & 4 – Richard Postma, AKA Doc, is back to discuss the continued strength of the gold market, emphasizing that despite being technically overbought, the bull run is not over. He highlights how gold has emerged as the primary safe haven in a volatile and uncertain global environment, fueled by weakening U.S. dominance, rising central bank gold purchases, and shifting money flows. Doc favors mid-tier gold producers like Equinox and Fortuna for their growth potential and sees 2026 as a likely breakout year for mining stocks.

DOLLAR : For Gold Backing : Fractional Reserve Gold
You can look at your white candles your red candles nothing matters in this scenario except for the US debt. America is bankrupt and has been for a long time but the politicians in Washington no matter who is in charge keep spending, spending, spending, without any concern for fiscal responsibility. Like a drunken sailor on shore leave in a foreign country who gets in a bar fight and is thrown in jail. Someone with a bag of money must go to the authorities in that country and bail him out. The US government can’t be bailed out because they hold The World Reserve currency. The only solution is bankruptcy.
There is a panic brewing in the US economy and no matter what The New York Banks and The Federal Reserve Board might decide they got us in this mess and all their tricks and treats won’t work anymore The US is functionally BANKRUPT! Washington won’t admit how bad the economy is, but the markets will decide and that is what we are seeing now with all this whipsawing! A TERRIBLE CRASH is a coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DT 🤣🤣🤣
Jubilee is an idea.
No idea how that would work out.
I do not think the REAL JEWS…. would have a problem with a DEBT JUBILEE….
The only ones that would be really hurt would be the FAKE JEWS…and the EIGHT FAMILIES.,,,
and they would not really be hurt… with a $37 TRILLION HIT…..
Mr. Bensignor, to your question re “finding workers in the U.S.” to build factories in the U.S. and then find workers here –
I don’t know how any country building a factory here would have a problem finding American workers skilled in construction. That in itself would help the President to accomplish his goal.
Moreover, the country agreeing to try to help trading “fairness” would (according to all of the President’s comments re Tariffs) allow negotiations that would be more fair to the U.S. while still allowing profitability for the Country looking to profit from the U.S. consumer.
Hi Wolfster, an English language debate with the leaders of our various political parties in Canada is being held on Thursday April 17th, 2025, at 7:00 pm. on CTV. We have a national Federal election being held on April 28th. I hope you will be watching. This is the most important leadership race we have ever faced. (The French debate will be held on April 16th at 8:00 pm. on CTV) Amen. DT
What for DT?…. I know who I’m voting for already.
Why? Everything is not about you; don’t you realize that the only chance to turn this election around is through this debate. Pierre Poilievre is behind in the polls since Trump stated Canada should become the 51st state. I addressed it to you because you are a Canadian, but I also wanted other Canadians to tune in to his message. I thought you might be interested to hear what is happening, and you may know others that might understand the situation a little better if they could hear him debate Mark Carney. Pierre Poilievre is not Donald Trump that is how he is being characterized by the mainstream media. If he loses our country will suffer under the same policies, we have had with Trudeau over the last nine years. Carney was Trudeau’s financial advisor for the last 5 years of that government. But as usual you see life by what happens around you in your own little world. Thats what for? DT 😉
Hi Doc, do you still own your Russian stocks ETF or did you sell it? When the unpleasantness in Ukraine started I bought some LUKOY@19 after it plunged from 70. Now it is back to 77 but it is held in escrow and I can’t sell till the sanctions are lifted, and I doubt I’ll ever get the last 3 years of huge dividends.
Bonzo, I do. I also own their gas company. I believe the sanctions will be lifted and we may still make money on the assets.
There was a 5-million-ounce high grade proven gold deposit that had been drilled up in French Guiana by a Canadian junior. I had traded in and out of it a number of times. They wanted to build a mine, but The French and Canadian governments put environmental roadblocks in their way. A court proceeding was held in Canada and the company won their case to build the mine, but The Canadian government put an injunction on the company because it was 51% owned by a Russian miner. This was during the sanctions. This company went bankrupt because they could not raise capital, effectively seizing it.
Only restitution of the $300 billion of Russian assets seized by the US through the swift system and restitution for their Russian businessmen that had their property confiscated, as well as the sanctions being dropped will allow you to see the light of day on those investments. I can’t see that as being a reality. Especially given the political climate we are now in. DT
Not sure it will matter.
Israel wants Trump to attack Iran. He could he is a zionist surrounded by zionists and congress is pretty much owned by aipac so its a concern.
Hopeully Putin can make Trump see reason.
For now my jr miners are paying, so I’m sticking with them.
If war starts I doubt it matters.
Glad to know I am not alone with my Russian stocks held in escrow. It’s nice to have quadrupled my money in Lukoil but bad to be unable to take profits and buy more CDE or ASM or FNLPF.
