Nomi Prins — The Gold and Silver Royalty Company Built for This Moment (Prinsights, Feb 2026)

One-line take: the February Founders+ monthly issue delivers a gold-and-silver royalty/streaming recommendation (the follow-through to the Feb 11 "story nobody's watching" piece). The free portion makes the macro case: after the mechanical late-January correction, gold rebounded above $5,100 and silver above $84, both still up double digits YTD; central banks bought 863t of gold in 2025 (Poland +102t, Brazil +43t), global gold demand topped 5,000t for the first time ($555B, +45% YoY), and JPMorgan ($6,300), Deutsche Bank ($6,000) and Goldman ($5,400) targets keep converging higher. Note: the specific company name and buy details are gated to Founders+ subscribers, so no individual pick is captured here.

2. Key points

Patience paid through the selloff

The late-January plunge (gold briefly <$4,700, silver -30% in a session, the worst since 1980) was mechanically driven — leveraged unwinds, margin calls, algorithmic selling after Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as Fed chair. Nothing fundamental changed; gold has since rebounded >$5,100 and silver >$84, both up double digits YTD.

Physical demand and central banks held firm

Chinese premiums on silver bars stayed >15% over Western spot. Central banks bought 863t of gold in 2025 (Poland +102t, heading to 700t for "national security"; Brazil +43t over three months; Turkey, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan steady). Global gold demand topped 5,000t for the first time on record — $555B, +45% YoY — and ETF inflows hit 801t (second-strongest year ever).

Institutional targets converging higher

JPMorgan sees $6,300 by year-end, Deutsche Bank $6,000, Goldman $5,400 (up from $4,900) — a structural repricing with room to run, echoing Prinsights's own $6,000 view.

The pick (gated)

This month's recommendation is a company focused on both gold and silver via the royalty/streaming model — pitched as potentially delivering not just real but exponential gains. The specific name and buy details sit behind the Founders+ paywall, so this archive captures the thesis only.

3. In plain English

A jargon-free summary of why each name is in the piece. (Plain-language companion to the table above; renders on each ticker's consolidated page.)

Gold Positive

Prins's free setup for this paid pick: gold dipped hard in late January but bounced right back above $5,100, because the drop was just traders unwinding bets, not anything real. The actual buyers — governments — kept buying, adding 863 tons in 2025, and total gold demand hit a record. Big banks now expect $6,000-plus. That backdrop is the reason she's recommending a royalty company tied to gold; the company's name itself is locked behind the paid subscription.

Silver Positive

Silver had an even wilder ride — down over 30% in one day, then up 9% back to about $84. Prins highlights that throughout the chaos, buyers in China kept paying a hefty premium to get actual silver bars, showing the real-world demand is strong. Her recommended company covers both gold and silver, but you need to be a Founders+ member to see which one it is.
