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...

Is inflation transitory? How does inflation expectation affect gold price? When will gold break out from its cup and handle price target? Gold experts Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg share their level-headed forecast in this video.

The Fed’s favourite inflation indicator, the PCE Deflator is at a 30 year high. Since the Treasury or the Fed are never correct in any prediction, how can they now believe with inflation tuning to the highest in 30 years, that this is transitory. Well at least the Fed is consistent in their inaccura...

Gold and Commodities in general continue to be too cheap and offer great opportunities to countercyclical investors now. Take precautions now, because this manipulation cannot last.

Egon von Greyerz sits down with Jim Lewis and Ivan Bayoukhi of Wall Street Silver to discuss the deteriorating situation of the global financial system and what it means for the fate of the United States dollar and precious metals.

As history clearly shows, gold is far and above the best asset to own to protect one’s self during such a monetary reset.

At the end of major economic cycles, shortages develop in all areas of the economy. And this is what the world is experiencing today on a global basis. There is a general lack of labour, whether it is restaurant staff, truck drivers or medical personnel. There are also shortages of raw materials, li...
