Right out of the gate Jim says that the $850\/oz high set in 1980 if adjusted for inflation<\/a> would be $2,400\/oz, but he believes it will go much higher than that within the decade due to the fact that governments around the world are printing money.\u00c2\u00a0 He says that if the dollar becomes \u00e2\u20ac\u0153confetti\u00e2\u20ac\u009d then there is no high for gold because the dollar will be worthless.<\/p>\n He says that he is not selling his gold primarily because he owns it as an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153insurance policy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and secondly because he believes he is going to make a lot of money with gold given where the world is going within the next 10 to 20 years.<\/p>\n When asked about if we will see QE3 Jim states that the Fed is already in the markets, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When you pump up the money supply you have to buy something\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the Fed is out buying stuff in the markets (bonds, stocks etc.).<\/p>\n When asked why gold has lost some of its luster in the face of the recent European debt crisis.\u00c2\u00a0 Jim responds that gold has always been inverse to the markets<\/a> but that lately it has had a recent pullback just like any other asset.\u00c2\u00a0 He says gold has been up 11 years in a row and is due for a correction, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153let gold correct,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d gold will continue to do well into the future and be a good hedge.<\/p>\n To watch the interview click link below:<\/p>\n
