Financial crisis

When a world already in trouble was hit by a severe financial crisis in September 2019, the dose of debt was already excessive.

For the first time ever the total value of the U.S. equity market is worth twice as much as the real economy. A true financial bubble. Previous highs of the equity to GDP ratio were followed by significant gains in the price of gold. This time around I expect the gold price to rise as well.

Christine Lagarde won't find anything to complain about, so we can be sure that the ECB's printing press will continue to...

Physical gold is my favorite commodity in a debt world supported by fiat madness. Regardless of the daily price action, physical gold protects against the currency debasement well in play today.
