The coming 5-10 years are likely to see asset prices decline by at least 90% in real terms. Yes stocks, bonds and property prices will in coming years collapse. But that’s not enough, the whole structure of society will also fall. There will be no or negligible...
Over the past several months, we've written on multiple occasions about the issues and loopholes within the global unallocated gold market. This fractional reserve system risks collapse with every run on true physical metal, and recent events demand this update.
Let’s talk gold. The Federal Reserve meeting will be over today. Gold price has risen this quarter on the back of rising inflation and very high probability of sustained hyper-inflation. A weaker US dollar Index. Bond yield forming a long term top between March 2021...
