Money

Over the last 150 years, the West has gone from human slavery to debt slavery.

In the next 3-5 years most asset classes, be it stocks, bonds or property or just currencies are likely to lose 75% to 99% against gold and silver. Certainly not a risk worth taking.

It is not only paper gold which is Fake. Few investors realise that most of their investments are Fake.

The dollar rally out of the 2014 3 YCL has fooled everyone into thinking the dollar is strong and the euro is going to collapse. So everyone is now on the wrong side of the market. That’s pretty much how every bear market starts with everyone on the wrong side of the boat.

Incredibly, most investors see no danger in stocks, bonds, property and debt being at historcal highs. This is the most lethal concoction of bubbles that has ever existed in history. Of course, bubbles can expand further before they implode.

Visa has declared war on cash and its "opening salvo" is to start paying restaurants $10,000 to go completely cash free.

The gold rally that began on Dec. 15, 2016, is poised to continue despite the trauma of the flash crash. The crash represents a gift to investors. We now have a better entry point for what will still be much higher gold prices later this year.

A manipulated economy can never be in equilibrium. The Fed’s and the government’s artificial meddling of economic cycles will always result in massive overshoots, thus creating gigantic booms and busts.

The present monetary system of the world, based on the dollar, is on its death-bed. A fiat currency –such as the dollar– cannot be replaced by another fiat currency. Therefore, the world will necessarily have to take up gold as the world's money; silver will doubtless complement gold as the world's money, because it has always done so throughout History.

As we reach the final stages of the current economic cycle, hubris is prevalent everywhere. Central bankers and bankers believe that they can continue to create wealth by printing and borrowing money. Since it has worked so well for 100 years in this latest cycle, why can’t it continue?
