The secular bull market in stocks is very likely to finish in 2021. This turn could be at any time. Just like in 2000, it will all happen very quickly and this time it will be the start of a very long and vicious secular bear market. Real assets like gold, silver and platinum will be investors’ life insurance. To hang on to stocks and bonds will totally destroy your wealth and your health.

The artificial control (repression) of yields and rates means cheaper debt, and hence more binge borrowing (and hence price inflation) on everything from over-priced homes to over-pumped stocks driven by easy and cheap debt rather than old fashioned things like, you know…profits and earnings.

Currencies, already debased, will hit the basement of time, and the current tricks used to keep paper gold down won’t prevent physical gold from getting the last laugh, as well natural climb northward.

Is the silver market of interest to the traders? Cheaper than gold, this asset would also be "undervalued" according to Étienne Dargent, director of GoldBroker.com. He assures that the grey metal has a strong potential and can represent a real alternative to bitcoin and gold.

It is spending at all costs that will be necessary in Italy, less to revive the economy (the aid plans have a limited real effect) than to save a very fragile banking system. Christine Lagarde won't find anything to complain about, so we can be sure that the ECB's printing press will continue to run at full speed.

As the price of the precious metals increase, there will be many new gold and silver “factories” popping up in China and many other countries in Asia. This will create a major supply of fake gold and silver from all parts of the world. These fake products will be distributed via the internet and also flood the retail market in many countries and be a real poison for buyers of precious metals. So dealing with reputable companies is a Sine Qua Non!

If president Biden wants to save the US economy, his first measure should not be to print $trillions of worthless new money but instead tell his secretary of the treasury Janet Yellen to withdraw all debased currency from circulation just as Aristophanes suggested in 405BC, Copernicus in 1517 and Gresham in 1560.

Russian and Chinese gold reserves stay the same for December 2020.

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.

Ever since Nixon welched on the U.S. dollar in 1971 and took away this global reserve currency’s gold backing, currencies around the world have behaved like teenagers at a keg party without a chaperone.
