With debt bubbles in the US, Europe, China, Japan and Emerging Markets, the world is likely to drown in printed money in the next 2-5 years. At that point gold could easily be 175 million Dollars, Euros or Yen. That level is of course meaningless in real terms.

For the yellow metal to constitute real wealth insurance, it must be acquired through a commercial partner in position to offer a certain set of guarantees.

100 years of financial mismanagement has not finished the 5,000 year track record of gold as the only money which has survived in history. The next 4 to 8 years will prove that again.

It is absolutely unreal how the world pays so much respect to mediocrity or even incompetence when it comes to running the financial system. Central banks and their heads have created this monster balloon which is now waiting to be popped.

France will not publish a list of countries holding its public debt, contrary to the United States, for example. But we have nevertheless found, in exclusivity, some data.

Why was Russia dumping USTs and what will do with all the funds it garnered from liquidating US debt instruments?

This is the story about Debtor, a newborn American baby. Debtor has just been born into the greatest economy in the world, a land full of promises and opportunities. This is what his parents tell him. But unbeknown to Debtor, he has been given a very bad start in life. Because the parents haven’t told Debtor, and how could they since they are not aware themselves, that he starts life with a massive debt burden that will grow manifold during his lifetime.

The fractional banking system is soon coming to an end with the most massive bang. Holding physical gold seems like an excellent idea.

The dollar constitutes about 60% of global reserves, 80% of global payments and almost 100% of global oil transactions. So the dollar’s strength or weakness can have an enormous impact on global markets.

Gold trackers cannot be put on the same level as physical gold, which remains the only gold asset that serves as real wealth insurance.

In another post, we saw that mining shares, being shares mainly (with high volatility and the risk of losing 100%), cannot be put on the same level as physical gold. Is it also the case with “paper gold”?

Whilst the US government worries about the military threat of Russia, and the trade deficit with China, they show no concern for the real problems. To understand what is really happening, all we need to do is to Follow the Money. The flows of real money reveal where global economic power is moving.

On the question of immigration, we are witnessing more and more divide within the European Union. One cannot keep, while witnessing all this confusion and frustration, from imagining what it would be like in case of a banking and financial crisis.

Gold needs about $10 more to tag the triangle trend line.
