Gold is a cheap today relative to US money supply as in 1971 when the price was $35 and in 2000 when gold was $290.

As the USD and UST emerges as less of safe-haven and de-dollarization accelerates, gold will re-emerge as the more trusted asset and a greater allocation in future portfolios.

Investors who ignore the importance of gold will see their paper assets decline by up to 98% in real terms.

How the future global monetary system will be designed is still completely open. Will centralized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) set the tone, or will the money supply be (partially) privatized as private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are used as a means of payment in everyday life? What is...

In a crisis of this magnitude, I would stay away from paper assets including ETFs of any kind. It is clearly imperative to have physical metals stored outside the financial system. And remember not to measure your wealth or your gold in worthless paper money. Instead measure your gold and silver in...

In a free market, without manipulation, such a strong demand for money would have raised the cost of borrowing to the levels in 1980-81 i.e. near 20%. Instead, the Fed Wizards are performing their hocus pocus with fake money and fake rates. Without their Wizardry, it would have been impossible for t...

The market and investors are addicted to cheap credit and its absence will lead to collapse. That said, long-term interest rates have probably seen their low, bond price declines and much more money creation are the likely result. The broad stock market, with exceptions, will not be a good investmen...

Gold has consolidated for a sustained period and is about to break out on the upside. Once gold breaks out decisively above $1,900, the move up will be very powerful. For investors who stick to stock market investments, they are about to get a shock of a lifetime as the stock market bubble bursts.

Because so many investors have been the direct beneficiaries of debt driven asset bubbles of unprecedented size (and hence risk), they have ignored otherwise clear warning signs. The current zero-to-negative returns in global sovereign bonds, for example, are just the latest symptoms of how ludicrou...

Controlling the Fed has given the bankers an unlimited supply of money and credit to finance their activities. As is the general rule today, debt is never repaid since new debt always makes the old debt insignificant as the currency is constantly debased with all the new money issued. The upside pot...

As Egon (and history) confirm, gold is an absolutely critical aspect of wealth preservation. Gold is prioritized not because of “gold-bug” thinking, but simply as a result of financial sophistication and a healthy respect for both the history of debt markets and the math of currencies.

Prudence tells us to get out of bubble assets like stocks, bonds and speculative property. Once the fall starts, these assets are likely to lose 90% or more in real terms which means against gold. Own physical gold and some silver (much more volatile). That will be your insurance against a rotten fi...

In this year-end chat, Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg, round up 2021 by discussing the critical issues leading us into the new year.

Given the counterparty risk in grossly bloated risk assets, derivative markets, banking systems, currency markets and sovereign balance sheets, gold is no longer a debate but a necessity. Fortunately, gold is currently priced at valuation levels which have never been more opportune. Toward this end,...

Since every currency system in history has collapsed, it is quite a certain bet that this one will too. For the few who have savings, wealth preservation in physical gold and silver is essential as insurance against yet another failed currency and financial system.

Egon von Greyerz and Ronni Stoeferle conclude their two-part Zurich discussion by addressing gold’s role in the context of current rate, currency and bond market forces.

Egon and Ronnie discuss their individual journeys toward recognizing the timeless, paramount, yet oft ignored, role that gold plays in intelligent wealth preservation and risk hedging in a market landscape that is becoming increasingly centralized. As Ronnie observes, real capitalism requires failur...

In Part II of Egon von Greyerz’ two-part conversation with Cambridge House’s Jay Martin, Egon candidly digs deeper into the realism rather than sensationalism of the current macro headwinds and the inevitable implosion of the global financial/monetary system.

In Part I of this 2-Part discussion with Cambridge House CEO Jay Martin, Egon von Greyerz discusses MAM’s precious metal approach to preserving generational wealth in the backdrop of an increasingly “messy” global backdrop.

Over the next couple of years we are likely to see a stampede into gold by institutional investors which need to have some inflation protection in their portfolios. But even if they increased their assets in gold from 0.5% to 1.5%, there will not be enough gold in the world to satisfy the extra dema...
