We are being compelled to speculate. That is what the CBs are doing; making speculators of us all. The last thing they want is prudent saving. It's all in, baby. #Gold is a form of savings in this environment. A way station.
Looking at the appreciated value of Lego over time, that's a better investment than #Gold as well. But while Lego and Gold are here to stay, #PokemonGo is a fad that will eventually be forgotten like all hit video games of the past.
The price of #silver and #gold has recently been affected by #Brexit. In addition, I feel as though that the UK might make a Swiss model deal which entails free trade with the E.U. and Schengen Zone visa privileges which would effectively give the benefits of EU membership minus the voting power and at a lower contribution cost. Also, this would ease market concerns and wipe out the rally that gold has sustained assuming everything remains about the same.
Gary... interesting comment. However, I would not use surplus funds to buy a new car. When the system finally cracks, there will be a huge glut of new and semi-new cars at a huge discount.
How are investors paying down debt?? U.S. debt is now $19.4 trillion. How is that heading lower? Maybe you can clarify what you mean.
Lastly, Government #Bonds are like gold until expensive oil production declines. Cheap #oil production peaked several years ago, now we are waiting for the peak of expensive oil. Actually, if we don't see tens of trillions of Helicopter money dumped on the market shortly, expensive oil production may have already peaked.
Government bonds are #DEBT. The world is full of debt up to their eyeballs. Without growing energy production, this debt will not be paid back. #Gold and #silver are two of the best assets to own going forward.
Well, the real economy could use a little helicopter money, precisely doled out in a short time period. Why #ZeroHedge would be against helping the real economy simply because it views DB as being disingenuous is hard to figure out. Real #HelicopterMoney is base money stimulus and goes directly to the people, without bond swapping or any fiscal drag on government. It would make a lot of sense, and it beats #NIRP and #ZIRP. If Zero Hedge has a better idea, let's hear it. One point, though, how much it pushes yields up could be hard to determine, since demand for bonds won't wain for collateral. Zero Hedge has written about this collateral issue, and it could present a problem as long bonds are the most highly rated collateral, more highly rated than #gold itself.
Simply put, #silver is more volatile. Also silver is more a commodity than #gold which is more a store of value play. Commodities are heading higher even though it seems like the price increases can't be easily passed onto consumers, thus the weak corporate profits. If oil joins in on the #commodities price rise the #Fed may get what it wants, inflation exceeding US growth which will not stimulate the economy as the Fed chairwoman is implying. Quite the reverse.
I have a little bit of #gold and a lot of #silver, but I would not want to be holding any mining stocks or paper gold when the crash does happen. I can't imagine how people like #HarryDent can assume that gold will be drop to the $750 range or below. I'm one of the weak hands when it comes to trading the mining stocks. I'd rather get back in after they correct or pull back.

Gold Pullback Very Likely Over; Now On The Way To $1,400+
Safe to say #Gold and #Silver will take your money a long way. Nice article!
Gold Pullback Very Likely Over; Now On The Way To $1,400+
#Gold and #silver... the underappreciated assets as of late. Personally, I like silver more than gold though as it has a lot more room to run.
Gold is Not Going to $10,000
The price of #silver and #gold has recently been affected by #Brexit.

Gold's Yin And Yang
I enjoy your rational thoughts on #gold, along with Keith's. When "bull ahoy" is loudest it is time to take cover in the gold sector.

The Fundamental Reason The Silver Price Will Explode Much Higher Than Gold
Simply put, #silver is more volatile. Also silver is more a commodity than #gold which is more a store of value play. Commodities are heading higher even though it seems like the price increases can't be easily passed onto consumers, thus the weak corporate profits. If oil joins in on the #commodities price rise the #Fed may get what it wants, inflation exceeding US growth which will not stimulate the economy as the Fed chairwoman is implying. Quite the reverse.
Will Gold Crash With The Dow… Or Soar?

Who knows, now that #GaryJohnson is the Libertarian's 3rd part candidate for president. If he wins, the US could be back on the #gold standard.

Excellent points, though I've heard many times that Lego blocks are a better investment than #Gold! :)
