are we short some gold bullion at fort knox? there's supposed to be 143 million troy ounces at fort knox. we will see. but there's a bid in gold. i think that's why it's going up above 3000. >> so why? i mean, so if you play the futures market and you target the way that you have, this particular market is a leveraged market. so it's not a dollar for dollar return, how exactly then do you risk manage these situations. and why are your stops so tight and your profit levels so tight in this. >> so it's funny i thought these stops were kind of wide. it all depends on your perspective. right. but i think if you look at the valuations. so right now this april futures contract i bought it at 2930 this morning. it's up towards the highs right now. it's actually trading on the high. but if you think about every dollar move in this futures contract is going to be $100 plus or minus. so if the gold futures move $10 that's a $1,000 swing. so i have a stop down just in the event we see some tariff conversation continue to dissipate and we m

s is in fort knox. interesting were all this gold is stored around the united states.oke to the treasury secretary about monetizing the balance sheet. many thought he meant maybe remarking u.s. gold. he said that is not what he meant. what if they did do that? but would that mean for the price reaction -- what would that mean for the price reaction? francisco: hard to say. remarking u.s. gold is an exercise for the most part. it would certainly increase the fed's balance sheet quite a bit. that gold is marked at a very low price, as you know. it would effectively boost the fed balance sheet and change the composition on an accounting basis. it would probably be bullish for gold markets. it would show gold is along this relic that has been sitting in central banks and been dismissed a little bit. not even the biggest central bank is taking a renewed interest in gold. any renewed attention will be constructive for the market. that is my initial reaction. annmarie: if we know the administration like to be creative, would you take it off the table? francisco: yes. it is po

american people and our children and our grandchildren and speaking of stealing, grant, what about fort knoxou think that gold is all in there and a few gold bars missing maybe? >> one of two things are going to happen. either they will find nothing in there. j or they are going to find. too much gold in there maybe go back a couple years and maybe they have been packing some gold in there from other countries. neither one is explainable. but the american people deserve to know what's truth is. and the american people can handle the truth. let's get down to it and stop the nonsense of these ponzi schemes and parasites. >> do you think there should be any tax, flat tax, fair tax, sales tax? >> there should be no income tax, no death or inheritance tax. no gift tax there should be no income tax at all. no payroll withholding. the way to do it is to go to a flat tax. 20 to 25% on a purchase. that's when it would be collected. and if a local state or county wants to add a property tax let them do that shouldn't be the federal government. >> grant, people across the country are applauding that so
