Turn on the television or read a newspaper. It is a sickening repetitive message to buy the dip in the stock market. It is a constant promotion to stay in the fiat banking system and all of the paper investment products out there. The fact of the matter is that things have changed. The buy-the-dip […]
Another week goes by. Interest rates continue to go up dramatically. Markets are again jilted by fear of economic recession. Some paper assets are down over 80% and it still seems like we have much further to go. The dam is leaking and may be approaching a breaking point.
Many reasons are given for wealth preservation through physical gold. We have talked at length about inflation, government debt, and a bubble in stock and bond markets.

The Fed has controlled the money since 1971. In 1971 the US dollar was taken completely off the gold standard and became complete fiat.

Everyone can see the markets have been melting down this year dramatically. Investors are panicking as paper markets lose steam every week. Those big gains from the last few years in bonds, cryptocurrencies, and stocks are gone. As the markets are giving the signs that a crash is looming, gold has held its own. The […]
The financial system of paper assets has become more complex since 1971. Since the evolution of computers, the idea of money has taken on different behavior. With the attitude of debt and reckless money printing and creation, our money is losing the trust of the people. Central bankers and governments have weakened the store of […]
