Anyone who wants to protect their wealth should not be invested in any of the bubble asset markets. But to also avoid counterparty risk is a lot harder.

What makes gold the most obvious wealth preservation investment and insurance against a false financial system is its permanence. The proof of this is indisputable since gold is the only money that has survived for 5,000 years. Ephemeral financial systems and currencies come and go, so do empires. B...

We are now at the end of an era which has created unreal wealth for a few and massive debt for most of the world. As all the bubble markets in stocks, bonds, property and other financial assets implode, together with the debt that has fuelled it all, 100s of trillions of dollars will just vanish and...

We are now in the very final stages of the most remarkable era of alchemy in the history of finance. This cycle started in 1913 with the creation of the Fed and had its death knell in 1971 when Nixon took away the gold backing of the dollar.

We have had a hundred years of excesses in the world and artificial wealth creation. Now, in the coming years, we will have a very long period of the opposite. Wealth will disappear. Gold will break free from LBMA Casino, leading to much higher gold price.

In this interview, Max Keiser and Egon von Greyerz discuss gold and several hot topics that will have major influence on the world economy in coming years.

Both Western and Eastern central banks are now fully supporting gold. Precious metals investors can with total confidence buy and hold physical gold, silver and platinum in the firm knowledge that central banks both in the West and the East will by their actions guarantee that the price can only go...

The risk of holding cash or gold in a bank is increasing continuously. Later on I discuss the difficulties bank clients encounter in taking money or gold out of their bank.

Owning gold is life insurance and wealth preservation. Anyone who has lived through hyperinflationary periods in the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, Argentina or Venezuela understands the importance of gold. But it is not enough just to own gold or silver. It is also extremely important how you hold it a...

The imminent secular downturn of debt and asset markets as well as the world economy will reveal how unreal these profits were as 90% or more of all the paper wealth in the world will go up in smoke. So investors should now prepare for the biggest wealth destruction in history and also the biggest w...

Where the gold is going is certainly no secret. Whilst the West has not got a clue of the strategic significance of physical gold, the East’s accumulation of the yellow metal continues unabated.

The world economy and global stock markets are at the end of the biggest bubble in history. A bubble fuelled by unprecedented stimulus from central banks and governments to prevent the financial system from imploding.

The time of easy gains in markets is now over. With the Fed and other central banks tightening and with the 35 year interest cycle having turned up, the party is over.

The end of an empire is a dramatic but also drawn out event with very few willing to face the facts. As the end is getting closer, denial is at its peak. We can probably figure out how it will end but not quite when. Looking at the facts, the beginning of the end is here.

The coming gold and silver surge is guaranteed. It is not a question of IF but only WHEN. Initially, the imminent revaluation of the precious metals will have nothing to do with an investment mania but with the total mismanagement of the world economy. A spectacular rise in the metals is just a refl...

With global investment markets standing at crossroads, investors have the option to lose it all or to benefit from the biggest wealth transfer in history.

In every crisis there is opportunity. The Greek word for crisis means to separate or sift and only keep what is worthwhile. And this is what the investors who want to survive the coming crisis must do. Get rid of all bubble assets AND BUY HARD ASSETS.

Many emerging markets are now turning to submerging markets as country after country is experiencing falling economies, currencies and stock markets.

In spite of not normally looking back, I have had a look at a Newsletter that I wrote in July 2009 when gold was just over $900 and the Dow 9,100. It was called “The Dark Years are here” and received quite a lot of attention at the time. This was at the end of the sub-prime crisis when the Dow had j...

This is it! The autumn of 2018 will be momentous in the world economy, markets and politics. We are now seeing the Last Hurrah for stocks, bonds, the dollar and most asset markets.
