Money

The state of the world necessitates holding gold as life insurance. Whether gold reaches $2,000, $20,000 or $200 trillion has nothing to do with the value of gold but all to do with a bankrupt financial system and worthless fiat currencies.

A multi-year drive to reduce exposure to U.S. assets has pushed the share of gold in Russia’s $583 billion international reserves above dollars for the first time on record.

Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg discuss recent, headline-making swings in the global gold market and political landscape.

We take another deep dive into the lessons of history, math and objective facts as one year replaces another in a global market increasingly on edge.

With zero interest rates, the government has locked savers into a trap from which it is difficult to escape, but it is to its advantage, since it can finance its budget deficit at a lower cost. How does it do this? We must begin by asking the question: Why do banks and insurers buy debt that brings them little or nothing in return?

The smart money understands the difference between staying rich and getting rich. Physical gold, as a timeless (rather than trendy or passẻ) instrument of wealth preservation, serves as the historically-confirmed and surest way to ensure one’s wealth against the ravages of currency debasement.

Gold and silver closed out their best years since 2010 following a year of unprecedented volatility brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. What are the various factors that could influence the price of gold in 2021 ?

Egon von Greyerz, Ronnie Stoeferle and Grant Williams discuss debt, inflation, “re-sets,” Bitcoin and thoughts on 2021. Looking forward, each share insights on: continued wealth disparity, the disconnect between rising markets and tanking economic conditions, vaccine hopes, capitalism’s “death” at the hands of central-bank-driven distortions, rate moves, market direction and, of course, the undeniable role of gold.

We are in the endgame! The endgame of central banks, the endgame of the monetary system and even the end game of the whole system. Grant Williams (ex-banker and investor) shares this view.

Neither journalists, nor investors understand that gold doesn’t go up at all. Since gold represents constant purchasing power, it is not gold that goes up but the value of paper money that goes down.
