Egon discusses economies “running on empty” for years on extreme budget deficits “paid for” by fiat currencies created out of thin air by increasingly desperate central banks. Of course, such monetary policies destroy currencies. Since the 1970’s, global currencies have gone down by well over 90% in...

Central banks will not save the world, they can’t. Because how can you solve a debt problem with more worthless debt or how can you create wealth by issuing more debt. That Ponzi scheme is now finished for a very long time. Physical gold (and silver) will in the next few years reveal the total delus...

The combination of institutional gold buying and private buying will drive the gold price to levels that few can imagine.

In this recent interview with SBTV (Silver Bullion Television), Matterhorn Asset Management founder, Egon von Greyerz, places his seminal focus on risk management in the specific context of precious metals. Egon begins with a father-of-the-bride speech given in 2002, in which he encouraged guests to...

In this second MAM Chat, Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg swap thoughts on the seductive yet dangerous 2020 market melt-up. Not surprisingly, all patterns point toward the case for precious metals.

In this keynote speech at the GAIC Virtual Gold Conference in Australia, Egon von Greyerz explains why the US economic crisis is worse than most people understand and that it has been going on for quite some time.

At some point when hyperinflation rules, the economy will turn down and the printed money will be totally worthless. At that point, stocks and gold will decouple and gold will continue up whilst stocks will fall or be stagnant.

In this brief discussion, Matt and Egon draw from their collective backgrounds to share ideas on the natural evolution from traditional risk (bubble) assets (i.e. stocks and bonds) toward precious metals as common-sense approaches to insuring against both currency and banking risk.

Since the end of 2006, the major central banks (Fed, ECB, BOJ & PBOC) have increased their balance sheets from $5 trillion to $25.5t today. The great majority of the extra $20t created since 2006 has gone to prop up the financial system. And even with these $20t the world economy is more rudderless...

Egon von Greyerz predicts an economic destruction of markets and asset values and a major wealth transfer and tell’s The Capital Network’s Executive Director Lelde Smits who stands to loose and gain the most.

Is Covid the most perfect distraction that could have hit the world? The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for the European and American economies. We know that there were major problems in the financial system back in August-September 2019 when both the ECB and the Fed declared that they would...

Two major asset classes are major beneficiaries of the unlimited money printing and credit creation that is now taking place globally. One of them will end in tears and the other one has just started a major secular bull market.

Obviously governments and central banks will desperately try to introduce resets, new digital currencies, do a bit of hocus pocus with debt to pretend it has disappeared. The US might even revalue its alleged stock of 8,000 tonnes of gold. But their bluff will be called. The effects of any measure g...

It is fascinating that only 0,5% of global financial assets are invested in the only asset that has held its purchasing power in history. In the next few years investors, from retail to institutional, will all want gold. GOLD will be the SINE QUA NON investment that everyone wants to own.

Gold made a temporary peak in 2011 and resumed the uptrend in 2016. The massive amounts of money that have been printed since 2006, and accelerating now in 2020, have not yet been reflected properly in the gold price. But this is what is coming next.

What does it take to break the global financial system? Well, we obviously know what it takes since the system is already broken. Broken by debts, broken by deficits, broken by a fractured financial system, and broken by false markets as well as fake money. So just like Humpty Dumpty, the system has...

As the world economy desperately tries to navigate to a safe harbour, is it going be pulled down by the six-headed monster Scylla or the Charybdis whirlpool (Homer’s Odyssey). It seems likely that Scylla is now starting to swallow parts the world before Charybdis will finish it off. A world severely...

Why don’t Powell and Lagarde tell the people that central bank actions are destroying the economy and the value of the country’s money. The dollar has lost 86% in this century and the Euro 82%, measured in real money. Real money is of course gold since it represents constant purchasing power and is...

Central banks have since then frenetically kept the party going by manufacturing worthless paper money. The music should have stopped in 2008 but the participants are still dancing on the grave of a system that is about to succumb.

In the next few years, the world will learn that the printing of money can never create prosperity. That is the time when the masses will turn to gold and silver. At that point, there will be virtually no physical precious metals to buy at any price.
