In all three scenarios, the long-term price of gold will rise to a level well above that of today. Only short-term movements and volatility in this rise would be impacted under these three perspectives.

While money-printing is nothing new, the increase in the money supply to combat the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and pay for the feds’ largesse is unprecedented. And it’s bullish for both gold and silver. Remember, these precious metals are the ultimate form of wealth insurance. They’ve...

Even if the price of silver were to increase tenfold, it would not be enough to bring it back to a normal price, given the monetary creation of recent years and the loss of purchasing power induced in the main currencies.

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.

If the rate hike that has been decided on turns into a bluff, inflation is likely to get out of control and that will have even more damaging consequences. It is urgent to break this inflationary spiral to avoid much more serious societal problems! This stalemate in which the Fed has settled bene...

Ronald Stoeferle shares his 2022 outlook for gold. He specifically addresses legitimate concerns regarding gold’s relatively tame/disappointing price action in 2021 despite an otherwise gold-favorable setting of declining real rates and rising inflation. Ultimately, he sees the recent sideways mo...

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 ludic...

Inflation is already a destructive evil in itself, but its partial concealment reinforces its harmfulness by deceiving economic players about its real value. It is important to know that governments manipulate the money printing press, but also the measurement of the resulting price increase. Fac...

There’s a disconnect between this metal’s potential and its price. Investors are ignoring silver, despite the huge growth potential it has. The next few years could be huge for silver. Now is the time to add some exposure to this unloved metal to your portfolio.

The gold-to-S&P 500 ratio looks to be breaking out from almost a two year-long downward trend. This is beginning of a move, not the end of one.

One can’t simply snap one’s fingers and, just like that, restore equilibrium to a system that is based on the outsourcing of production centers, by bringing inflation back down while preserving demand! Will a rate rise now be sufficient to correct the current problem in the global production chain?

In the current framework gold is priced based on the 10-year TIPS yield. In my view, the current framework becomes more nonsensical the longer the TIPS yield stays below zero. At the time of writing the TIPS yield is –0.74%.

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...

The reserves for the next rise in gold are certainly present in Germany and in other countries with high savings rates. At the same time, faced with this inflationary shock, we are witnessing the confidence that these savers have in the ECB being eroded a little more with each passing day. In tho...

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.

The Irish central bank added 78 million euros ($88 million) to its gold reserves in November, data published this week showed. The purchases mean the institution has increased its holdings of the precious metal by more than three tons in three months, a 60% increase from the level maintained for...

The leaders of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) have long promised us that their lax monetary policy would not lead to inflation, and that we should not worry, that it would be "transitory". They now concede that the transitional period could be prolonged, but co...

2022 is beginning in a very different environment than that of last year. This is the time of year when it is necessary to consult the major institutions’ forecasts regarding the evolution of the gold price in 2022.

Ronnie Stoeferle joins Wall Street Silver to discuss the changing of an era. We had 40 years of low inflation. But that is coming to an end. The new economic system has higher inflation built into it. The time of gold and silver is coming.

Central banks have built up their gold reserves by more than 4,500 tons over the past decade, according to the World Gold Council, the international research organization of the gold industry. As of September, the reserves totaled roughly 36,000 tons, the largest since 1990 and up 15% from a deca...
