With the intention to inquire about the resilience of our financial system in the case of a dollar crisis, what questions do you suggest I ask the head of our Central Bank if I had the chance to interview him?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 4. <\/strong>Steve C: I am afraid of losing everything in my 401k. I still work for the company. What if I borrow up to half of my 401k and pay it back with around 5 percent interest which all goes directly back into my 401k. So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m paying myself interest. If the market crashes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll lose my 401k but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have physical gold in my possession. Good idea?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 5. <\/strong>Lorena B: You have mentioned in the past that the banks are insolvent but at the same time, they have been accumulating a lot of physical gold. How can they be insolvent if they have all that gold as protection or insurance?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled-423x540.jpg 423w, https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled-298x380.jpg 298w, https:\/\/www.itmtrading.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6-6-19-Perf-Chart-on-Stocks-vs-Spot-Gold-Decoupled-59x75.jpg 59w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric sources questions from Lynette&#8217;s viewers and Lynette responds with organic and unrehearsed answers.
