Financial crisis

There is no longer any doubt: the dollar is on the verge of losing its status as an international trade currency across a large part of the globe. The BRICS want to return to a gold-backed currency. The revolution of 2023 will be as significant as that of 1789 in the overthrow of the established...

Savers are not the only ones who have become poorer in the last two decades. Companies have also experienced a shortfall compared to the gold prices rise. If these companies had invested even a small part of their cash flow in gold, it would have greatly improved their financial situation...

Gold was a far more loyal asset than stocks and bonds in the turbulent times of 2022; and given that 2023 portends to be even worse, we can expect better loyalty from this so-called “barbarous relic” of the past.

The famous economist pr...

Willem Middelkoop returns to the show, and we dive into the current state of the global economy and how it is undergoing a "BIG RESET." One significant sign of this is China's recent announcement of increased gold purchases.

Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg open 2023 with an informal yet blunt look at the twin nuclear risks of a rising geopolitical conflict in the backdrop of an equally rising global debt crisis. Both trends, and all that follows in their wake, point naturally toward an exploding gold market.
