4:50 If the fundamental value of gold is about $12,500 per ounce, then why do people say that gold is just a store of wealth? ie: the story of an ounce of gold still buys the same fine men\u2019s suit that it did years and years ago<\/p>\n

\nWelcome to our Wednesday Q&A.<\/p>\n
00:00:06:13 – 00:00:08:23
\nI’m Eric Griffin, president of ITM Trading with me<\/p>\n
00:00:08:23 – 00:00:11:02
\nI have Lynette Zang, our chief market analyst.<\/p>\n
00:00:11:02 – 00:00:14:02
\nFor those of you who don’t know or are tuning in for the first time,<\/p>\n
00:00:14:02 – 00:00:17:02
\nwe take your questions that you submit to us<\/p>\n
00:00:17:07 – 00:00:20:15
\nvia email, to questions at item trading dot com.<\/p>\n
00:00:20:17 – 00:00:21:00
\nTake them.<\/p>\n
00:00:21:00 – 00:00:24:04
\nWe put them up here on the screen in front of us and we ask them live.<\/p>\n
00:00:24:04 – 00:00:29:15
\nSo you get a real true spontaneous organic response.<\/p>\n
00:00:29:17 – 00:00:31:25
\nDavid B asks, Okay,<\/p>\n
00:00:31:25 – 00:00:36:04
\nmy question is this If they create this digital illusion<\/p>\n
00:00:36:04 – 00:00:41:09
\nin which they can create as much money as they want,<\/p>\n
00:00:41:11 – 00:00:44:19
\nhow how did they stop hyperinflation?<\/p>\n
00:00:44:20 – 00:00:48:09
\nSo I guess it’s really just how do they stop hyperinflation?<\/p>\n
00:00:48:12 – 00:00:50:14
\nMy question is,<\/p>\n
00:00:50:17 – 00:00:52:26
\nif they can create as much, if they can create<\/p>\n
00:00:52:26 – 00:00:56:14
\nas much money as they want, how do they stop hyperinflation?<\/p>\n
00:00:56:15 – 00:00:58:11
\nYeah, that’s exactly the point.<\/p>\n
00:00:58:11 – 00:01:01:02
\nBecause the easier it is to create money,<\/p>\n
00:01:01:02 – 00:01:04:12
\nthe more they do it because it’s about spending,<\/p>\n
00:01:04:14 – 00:01:10:09
\nand then the less value the money out there has because it’s so easy.<\/p>\n
00:01:10:11 – 00:01:11:15
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:01:11:15 – 00:01:14:19
\nThere’s so they’re not going to stop the hyperinflation.<\/p>\n
00:01:14:19 – 00:01:18:19
\nAnd that’s why I said that if we do go to a cbdc<\/p>\n
00:01:18:22 – 00:01:21:21
\nsystem, don’t think that that’s the end.<\/p>\n
00:01:21:21 – 00:01:25:13
\nThat now they’ve solved the problem for exactly that reason.<\/p>\n
00:01:25:14 – 00:01:30:10
\nDavid Good, good thoughts because that’s not that’s just a way<\/p>\n
00:01:30:10 – 00:01:35:19
\nto speed everything up but them also to get you into that corral, so to speak.<\/p>\n
00:01:35:19 – 00:01:40:07
\nThe central bank digital currency corral, where you’re completely<\/p>\n
00:01:40:07 – 00:01:42:10
\ndependent upon them.<\/p>\n
00:01:42:13 – 00:01:43:14
\nSo yeah, they won’t.<\/p>\n
00:01:43:14 – 00:01:47:09
\nThat’s, that’s why until there is a component of gold<\/p>\n
00:01:47:11 – 00:01:54:06
\nverifiable all convertible, it’s not over.<\/p>\n
00:01:54:08 – 00:01:55:19
\nAnd it’s just that simple.<\/p>\n
00:01:55:19 – 00:01:57:21
\nIt’s not over.<\/p>\n
00:01:57:21 – 00:02:00:21
\nOne of the ways that they’ve done it in the past is<\/p>\n
00:02:00:22 – 00:02:03:26
\nthrough the use of the world reserve currency being the U.S.<\/p>\n
00:02:03:26 – 00:02:05:26
\ndollar. So it creates demand out in the world.<\/p>\n
00:02:05:26 – 00:02:09:28
\nSo we’ve always been able to print money in kind of export the inflation<\/p>\n
00:02:09:28 – 00:02:11:05
\naround the world.<\/p>\n
00:02:11:05 – 00:02:16:29
\nSo if, for example, we lose that world reserve currency status,<\/p>\n
00:02:16:29 – 00:02:20:26
\nthere’s no way to stop that hyperinflation because all that money then comes<\/p>\n
00:02:20:26 – 00:02:25:01
\nback to the United States where there’s the only demand is in the United States,<\/p>\n
00:02:25:03 – 00:02:27:20
\nwhich then creates the rampant hyperinflation.<\/p>\n
00:02:27:20 – 00:02:30:20
\nSo they’ve been kind of,<\/p>\n
00:02:30:20 – 00:02:32:24
\nyou know, petrodollar<\/p>\n
00:02:32:24 – 00:02:35:21
\nworld reserve currency only trading.<\/p>\n
00:02:35:21 – 00:02:38:24
\nIt’s one of the ways that they’ve been able to at least print<\/p>\n
00:02:38:24 – 00:02:40:02
\nas much money as they have.<\/p>\n
00:02:40:02 – 00:02:44:05
\nI mean, we’ve seen it exponentially increase just in the last 20 years, right?<\/p>\n
00:02:44:08 – 00:02:47:12
\nJust in the last ten years, 15 years.<\/p>\n
00:02:47:12 – 00:02:47:25
\nYeah.<\/p>\n
00:02:47:25 – 00:02:51:21
\nBut I want you to keep in mind that that the difference<\/p>\n
00:02:51:21 – 00:02:56:24
\nbetween inflation and hyperinflation is the speed of the inflation.<\/p>\n
00:02:56:26 – 00:03:00:10
\nOnce we went to a debt based system in 71,<\/p>\n
00:03:00:13 – 00:03:05:01
\nthe speed of the loss of your purchasing power picked up<\/p>\n
00:03:05:03 – 00:03:09:00
\nstill and all you know, it’s picked up even more<\/p>\n
00:03:09:04 – 00:03:12:22
\nsince 2008 and again 2020.<\/p>\n
00:03:12:24 – 00:03:17:13
\nSo, yes, we did create more demand for the dollars<\/p>\n
00:03:17:18 – 00:03:20:29
\nand we did retain that status thanks to Saudi Arabia,<\/p>\n
00:03:21:06 – 00:03:26:05
\nwho on the first visit, the 1st of October or the 1st of November,<\/p>\n
00:03:26:08 – 00:03:29:00
\ndo you remember, Randi, it’s one of the first it’s either<\/p>\n
00:03:29:00 – 00:03:36:26
\nOctober or November is officially a member of the BRICS nation.<\/p>\n
00:03:36:29 – 00:03:37:11
\nYou know,<\/p>\n
00:03:37:11 – 00:03:41:16
\nSo are we going to lose our status as the world’s reserve currency?<\/p>\n
00:03:41:16 – 00:03:44:08
\nWhere have we already. Right.<\/p>\n
00:03:44:08 – 00:03:48:04
\nIt was already the end of I think it was December 13th.<\/p>\n
00:03:48:04 – 00:03:52:26
\nI could be off on my date 2000 when the Federal Reserve<\/p>\n
00:03:52:26 – 00:03:55:14
\nhad to buy Treasury debt.<\/p>\n
00:03:55:14 – 00:03:59:17
\nBut they didn’t talk about it because that’s what Third World countries do.<\/p>\n
00:03:59:19 – 00:04:04:07
\nThat didn’t become the thing to do and a good thing until the great<\/p>\n
00:04:04:07 – 00:04:09:16
\nfinancial crisis 2008 2009, and then it become magically a good thing.<\/p>\n
00:04:09:22 – 00:04:13:24
\nLike inflation was a dirty word, especially around<\/p>\n
00:04:13:24 – 00:04:16:14
\n71 in the sixties and seventies.<\/p>\n
00:04:16:14 – 00:04:18:13
\nA very dirty word. I remember it.<\/p>\n
00:04:18:13 – 00:04:24:00
\nI was there, but all of a sudden it became our savior.<\/p>\n
00:04:24:03 – 00:04:26:15
\nSo, you know, it’s semantics.<\/p>\n
00:04:26:15 – 00:04:31:08
\nBut the reality is, is it’s all an illusion.<\/p>\n
00:04:31:11 – 00:04:35:10
\nIt’s all and this is not an illusion.<\/p>\n
00:04:35:12 – 00:04:37:05
\nThis is not an illusion.<\/p>\n
00:04:37:05 – 00:04:41:26
\nThis has use in every single sector of the global economy.<\/p>\n
00:04:41:28 – 00:04:45:03
\nThe rest of that garbage<\/p>\n
00:04:45:05 – 00:04:46:15
\nis an illusion.<\/p>\n
00:04:46:15 – 00:04:46:25
\nAll right.<\/p>\n
00:04:46:25 – 00:04:50:04
\nSo I don’t know how to say this name,<\/p>\n
00:04:50:07 – 00:04:56:01
\nbut 66 Kruger to Kruger.<\/p>\n
00:04:56:08 – 00:04:57:14
\nOkay.<\/p>\n
00:04:57:14 – 00:04:59:28
\nGold is tanking right now. Don’t buy.<\/p>\n
00:04:59:28 – 00:05:01:02
\nAt least Wait.<\/p>\n
00:05:01:02 – 00:05:03:14
\nYou’ll get more value for your money that way.<\/p>\n
00:05:03:14 – 00:05:07:16
\nBut sure, that’s that was a comment I think from the last from Lester.<\/p>\n
00:05:07:18 – 00:05:08:01
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:05:08:01 – 00:05:12:06
\nWell, you can speak to this actually better than I can,<\/p>\n
00:05:12:06 – 00:05:15:14
\nbut I know that when I’m looking at pcgs<\/p>\n
00:05:15:16 – 00:05:19:11
\nthat the physical coins are going<\/p>\n
00:05:19:11 – 00:05:23:06
\nup, whereas they can create as much gold as they want.<\/p>\n
00:05:23:06 – 00:05:26:28
\nSo is that true Digital gold that they can create?<\/p>\n
00:05:26:28 – 00:05:29:12
\nYes, as much digital gold as they want.<\/p>\n
00:05:29:12 – 00:05:34:15
\nAnd it doesn’t ever have to exist so they can manipulate it.<\/p>\n
00:05:34:18 – 00:05:39:01
\nBut I mean, as as bullion going down.<\/p>\n
00:05:39:04 – 00:05:42:14
\nWell the spot market is well that’s not what I it Right.<\/p>\n
00:05:42:14 – 00:05:46:18
\nAnd that’s what that’s what, that’s what you stuck out is talking about.<\/p>\n
00:05:46:18 – 00:05:46:26
\nYeah.<\/p>\n
00:05:46:26 – 00:05:52:15
\nThe spot market is Well that’s an easy market and cheap to manipulate.<\/p>\n
00:05:52:18 – 00:05:56:09
\nWell and it’s who who’s good at timing the market.<\/p>\n
00:05:56:11 – 00:05:57:05
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:05:57:05 – 00:05:59:07
\nI mean nobody’s good at timing the market.<\/p>\n
00:05:59:07 – 00:06:03:07
\nI mean we could have seen when it hit 1800 ish like in the late 1800s,<\/p>\n
00:06:03:07 – 00:06:05:15
\nthat could have been the lowest it’s going to be. But I don’t know.<\/p>\n
00:06:05:15 – 00:06:06:26
\nYou don’t know? We don’t know.<\/p>\n
00:06:06:26 – 00:06:09:08
\nNobody knows what I mean.<\/p>\n
00:06:09:08 – 00:06:11:11
\nThat’s what we use gold and silver for, right?<\/p>\n
00:06:11:11 – 00:06:15:06
\nWe use gold and silver for as an insurance policy. Right. And we buy it.<\/p>\n
00:06:15:08 – 00:06:16:16
\nDo you ever look at the spot price<\/p>\n
00:06:16:16 – 00:06:20:02
\nand use that as a determining factor whether or not you should buy or not? No.<\/p>\n
00:06:20:05 – 00:06:23:03
\nAnd the only reason why ever look at the spot price<\/p>\n
00:06:23:03 – 00:06:25:13
\nis because I have to talk about it on here.<\/p>\n
00:06:25:13 – 00:06:27:07
\nOther than that, I know it’s a lie.<\/p>\n
00:06:27:07 – 00:06:29:02
\nWhy would I believe lie?<\/p>\n
00:06:29:02 – 00:06:31:12
\nWhy would anybody believe a lie?<\/p>\n
00:06:31:12 – 00:06:33:13
\nYou know, my favorite question<\/p>\n
00:06:33:13 – 00:06:37:08
\nHow many times can you be lied to when you do not know the truth?<\/p>\n
00:06:37:11 – 00:06:39:27
\nThe whole system is a big fat lie.<\/p>\n
00:06:39:27 – 00:06:43:25
\nNow, as far as gold tanking right now, that’s a contract.<\/p>\n
00:06:43:25 – 00:06:45:24
\nThat’s not gold tanking.<\/p>\n
00:06:45:24 – 00:06:49:10
\nThat’s spot gold tanking.<\/p>\n
00:06:49:12 – 00:06:49:20
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:06:49:20 – 00:06:52:29
\nBut they’ve gotten everybody used to say, well, it’s gold, it’s tanking.<\/p>\n
00:06:53:07 – 00:06:56:13
\nNo, that’s the spot market that is tanking.<\/p>\n
00:06:56:20 – 00:06:59:14
\nYou have to be smarter than them because take a look at<\/p>\n
00:06:59:14 – 00:07:01:24
\nwhat the central banks are doing for themselves,<\/p>\n
00:07:01:24 – 00:07:05:21
\nwhere they bought more gold than they ever had the first half of this<\/p>\n
00:07:05:24 – 00:07:10:09
\nthis year than they ever have historically.<\/p>\n
00:07:10:11 – 00:07:11:16
\nWhy would they do that?<\/p>\n
00:07:11:16 – 00:07:15:09
\nAnd why is gold tanking if they’re buying so much?<\/p>\n
00:07:15:12 – 00:07:18:26
\nEver stop to ask yourself that question?<\/p>\n
00:07:18:29 – 00:07:22:09
\nThey’re not buying ETFs.<\/p>\n
00:07:22:11 – 00:07:25:19
\nThey’re buying the physical metal, and they’re holding it<\/p>\n
00:07:25:19 – 00:07:30:17
\nbecause they want to stay in control<\/p>\n
00:07:30:19 – 00:07:34:15
\nwhen this thing implodes and they don’t know when it’s going to implode either.<\/p>\n
00:07:34:21 – 00:07:37:28
\nBut I can tell you it’s extraordinary, the whole system,<\/p>\n
00:07:38:00 – 00:07:40:29
\nespecially with what I see in the Treasury market,<\/p>\n
00:07:40:29 – 00:07:45:18
\nwhich is the foundation of the global market, financial markets,<\/p>\n
00:07:45:21 – 00:07:48:06
\nand that’s been losing liquidity since 2000<\/p>\n
00:07:48:06 – 00:07:51:06
\nstarted talking about in 2015.<\/p>\n
00:07:51:11 – 00:07:52:08
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:07:52:08 – 00:07:55:10
\nWe are very near the end, Dick Ruga.<\/p>\n
00:07:55:11 – 00:07:57:16
\nYou can do it ever you want.<\/p>\n
00:07:57:16 – 00:08:00:24
\nThat’s what everybody should do, whatever it is they’re comfortable with.<\/p>\n
00:08:00:24 – 00:08:04:10
\nAnd if you’re comfortable believing the lies, rock and roll go.<\/p>\n
00:08:04:12 – 00:08:08:08
\nBut I’m not certain that that will serve you well.<\/p>\n
00:08:08:10 – 00:08:08:21
\nAll right.<\/p>\n
00:08:08:21 – 00:08:12:15
\nSo, Harvey and asks<\/p>\n
00:08:12:17 – 00:08:15:05
\nif the fundamental value of gold is about 1200<\/p>\n
00:08:15:05 – 00:08:18:21
\nsorry, 12,500 per ounce,<\/p>\n
00:08:18:23 – 00:08:23:18
\nthen why do people say that gold is just a store of wealth? I.e.<\/p>\n
00:08:23:18 – 00:08:28:03
\nthe story of an ounce of gold still buys the same fine men’s suit<\/p>\n
00:08:28:05 – 00:08:31:27
\nthat it did years and years ago?<\/p>\n
00:08:31:29 – 00:08:35:17
\nYou’re going to be able to again speak to that a little bit better<\/p>\n
00:08:35:17 – 00:08:41:22
\nbecause I believe the fundamental value, because what I know 100%<\/p>\n
00:08:41:25 – 00:08:45:20
\nis that all assets move at tangible assets<\/p>\n
00:08:45:26 – 00:08:49:22
\nmove from undervaluation to fair valuation to overvaluation<\/p>\n
00:08:49:22 – 00:08:53:24
\nto fair valuation to under valuation in a constant<\/p>\n
00:08:53:24 – 00:08:56:24
\nloop and a constant loop.<\/p>\n
00:08:56:25 – 00:09:01:22
\nSo if you don’t know what the fundamental value of any asset<\/p>\n
00:09:01:22 – 00:09:05:17
\nis, not just gold, but anything, then how in the world do you know<\/p>\n
00:09:05:17 – 00:09:06:15
\nif you should buy it?<\/p>\n
00:09:06:15 – 00:09:09:15
\nIf you should hold it or you should liquidated?<\/p>\n
00:09:09:18 – 00:09:11:26
\nSo understanding that is critical.<\/p>\n
00:09:11:26 – 00:09:15:03
\nBut there is certainly a growth component in<\/p>\n
00:09:15:05 – 00:09:18:15
\nthe fundamental value and an ounce of gold.<\/p>\n
00:09:18:17 – 00:09:25:11
\nAnd by the way, being able to buy collectible gold below fundamental value<\/p>\n
00:09:25:13 – 00:09:27:28
\nis kind of like a no brainer to me.<\/p>\n
00:09:27:28 – 00:09:32:04
\nBut when gold moves toward its fundamental value, right now,<\/p>\n
00:09:32:04 – 00:09:36:14
\nyou have all these other fiat money assets up here and even hard assets<\/p>\n
00:09:36:14 – 00:09:41:10
\nlike real estate, income producing assets severely overvalued.<\/p>\n
00:09:41:17 – 00:09:43:23
\nYou have gold and silver undervalued.<\/p>\n
00:09:43:23 – 00:09:45:13
\nThat’s going to flip flop.<\/p>\n
00:09:45:13 – 00:09:49:00
\nSo I do get because we all talk about it<\/p>\n
00:09:49:00 – 00:09:52:04
\nas a store of wealth in it, holding your purchasing power.<\/p>\n
00:09:52:04 – 00:09:54:15
\nAnd the spot market certainly has done that.<\/p>\n
00:09:54:15 – 00:09:59:11
\nYou can still get a fine mint man suit for 18 1900 bucks.<\/p>\n
00:09:59:14 – 00:10:02:04
\nHaving said that, though,<\/p>\n
00:10:02:04 – 00:10:06:26
\nthere are some opportunities in here when you can hold your purchasing power<\/p>\n
00:10:06:26 – 00:10:11:25
\nintact through this trend cycle and convert some of that<\/p>\n
00:10:11:27 – 00:10:15:16
\ninto those income product producing assets when they’re low.<\/p>\n
00:10:15:18 – 00:10:19:12
\nBut I don’t think the government likes us to talk about gold as a potential<\/p>\n
00:10:19:12 – 00:10:21:12
\ngrowth vehicle.<\/p>\n
00:10:21:14 – 00:10:23:21
\nI think there’s there’s something about that.<\/p>\n
00:10:23:21 – 00:10:25:11
\nI don’t know. It’s been so long.<\/p>\n
00:10:25:11 – 00:10:30:20
\nWell, there’s definitely like an opportunity right in that first bump up<\/p>\n
00:10:30:23 – 00:10:35:04
\nright from the from the 2000 and ounce to the 12,500 in fundamental value.<\/p>\n
00:10:35:04 – 00:10:37:07
\nThere’s definitely some growth opportunity. Yeah.<\/p>\n
00:10:37:07 – 00:10:40:02
\nOnce we get beyond that, it’ll really show that<\/p>\n
00:10:40:02 – 00:10:43:12
\nthe hyperinflation has kicked in and then it should do what it always does,<\/p>\n
00:10:43:12 – 00:10:47:06
\nwhich is hold its purchasing power with with inflation.<\/p>\n
00:10:47:06 – 00:10:48:09
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:10:48:09 – 00:10:53:10
\nBut I will say that the collectibles generally tend to outperform bullion<\/p>\n
00:10:53:10 – 00:10:57:01
\nover the long selling or the spot market, and therefore there<\/p>\n
00:10:57:01 – 00:11:01:05
\nmight be even more growth opportunities in these, especially when demand heats up.<\/p>\n
00:11:01:08 – 00:11:05:27
\nBecause as demand gets stronger from the the private market,<\/p>\n
00:11:05:27 – 00:11:09:27
\nmeaning just people like, you know, you and I not not<\/p>\n
00:11:10:00 – 00:11:14:20
\nnot like mutual funds and that kind of stuff<\/p>\n
00:11:14:23 – 00:11:17:02
\nfrom when when the people want gold and silver<\/p>\n
00:11:17:02 – 00:11:20:12
\nand they buy more of this, it heats up and it pushes the prices even higher.<\/p>\n
00:11:20:12 – 00:11:21:05
\nThat’s why<\/p>\n
00:11:21:05 – 00:11:25:11
\nthat’s why it truly outperforms bullion, because in those type of markets,<\/p>\n
00:11:25:19 – 00:11:28:13
\nthe demand gets hot and it’s in a limited supply.<\/p>\n
00:11:28:13 – 00:11:32:02
\nYeah, and I’m glad that you brought that up because maybe<\/p>\n
00:11:32:02 – 00:11:36:10
\nsome of you had seen that Costco is selling gold bullion<\/p>\n
00:11:36:13 – 00:11:39:21
\nand that is goes out as fast as they get it in.<\/p>\n
00:11:39:21 – 00:11:41:16
\nNow they are limiting, etc..<\/p>\n
00:11:41:16 – 00:11:46:06
\nBut what that tells me and somebody else was bringing this up yesterday<\/p>\n
00:11:46:06 – 00:11:50:03
\nin one of our meetings as well, that that tells me that the public<\/p>\n
00:11:50:03 – 00:11:54:07
\nis becoming more and more aware, more and more uncomfortable<\/p>\n
00:11:54:14 – 00:11:58:00
\nand looking for that true flight to safety.<\/p>\n
00:11:58:02 – 00:12:01:02
\nAnd I will be doing because I’ve had a request for this and<\/p>\n
00:12:01:02 – 00:12:02:27
\nand it’s been a long time<\/p>\n
00:12:02:27 – 00:12:08:00
\nsince I’ve done the phases of a trend and how you recognize them.<\/p>\n
00:12:08:02 – 00:12:10:08
\nSo I will be doing that shortly.<\/p>\n
00:12:10:08 – 00:12:11:19
\nI will be doing that shortly.<\/p>\n
00:12:11:19 – 00:12:16:14
\nAnd that should clarify some of what Harvey’s talking about.<\/p>\n
00:12:16:14 – 00:12:20:08
\nBut generally helping you see the pattern<\/p>\n
00:12:20:10 – 00:12:23:10
\nof what all trend cycles look like,<\/p>\n
00:12:23:10 – 00:12:26:23
\nnot not just gold, but all trend cycles,<\/p>\n
00:12:26:26 – 00:12:29:07
\nand that that should help.<\/p>\n
00:12:29:07 – 00:12:32:07
\nOkay, So<\/p>\n
00:12:32:08 – 00:12:36:17
\nlet’s see, 80 dash over six and B asks<\/p>\n
00:12:36:19 – 00:12:41:14
\nwhat would happen if the USA declared the dollar<\/p>\n
00:12:41:17 – 00:12:44:26
\nwould now be backed by backed and convertible with gold?<\/p>\n
00:12:44:26 – 00:12:46:02
\nWhat would happen if the U.S.<\/p>\n
00:12:46:02 – 00:12:50:23
\ndeclared the dollar would now be backed and convertible with gold to gold?<\/p>\n
00:12:50:26 – 00:12:51:28
\nWell, what would happen is<\/p>\n
00:12:51:28 – 00:12:56:08
\nwe would definitely retain our position as the world’s reserve currency<\/p>\n
00:12:56:10 – 00:13:01:19
\nand everybody around the world would be flocking to dollars.<\/p>\n
00:13:01:21 – 00:13:04:15
\nNow, do I think that that’s likely to happen?<\/p>\n
00:13:04:15 – 00:13:05:16
\nNo, I do not.<\/p>\n
00:13:05:16 – 00:13:09:02
\nRight, Because when that happens,<\/p>\n
00:13:09:05 – 00:13:13:04
\nthat puts restrictions around the level of debt that can be grown.<\/p>\n
00:13:13:06 – 00:13:17:03
\nAnd with our debt levels just in the one area,<\/p>\n
00:13:17:06 – 00:13:22:05
\nwe’re not even talking about the promises, Social Security, Medicare, all of that.<\/p>\n
00:13:22:08 – 00:13:26:10
\nBut our public debt broaching and going above<\/p>\n
00:13:26:10 – 00:13:30:05
\n33 trillion and this is all non self liquidating debt.<\/p>\n
00:13:30:05 – 00:13:33:13
\nIn other words, there isn’t anything in those numbers<\/p>\n
00:13:33:18 – 00:13:38:14
\nthat would generate income to repay that 33 trillion plus debt.<\/p>\n
00:13:38:17 – 00:13:39:07
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:13:39:07 – 00:13:42:02
\nSo it’s just like kind of like a credit card.<\/p>\n
00:13:42:02 – 00:13:44:26
\nYou went out and you just spent that money as anything.<\/p>\n
00:13:44:26 – 00:13:49:01
\nYou spent it on going to generate money to help you pay that debt off.<\/p>\n
00:13:49:08 – 00:13:51:10
\nProbably not.<\/p>\n
00:13:51:13 – 00:13:51:26
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:13:51:26 – 00:13:54:24
\nAnd that’s what our government is doing so<\/p>\n
00:13:54:24 – 00:13:58:12
\nthat they backed and made it convertible.<\/p>\n
00:13:58:14 – 00:14:01:29
\nThey would they would fix the debt where it’s not payable<\/p>\n
00:14:01:29 – 00:14:04:01
\nand the interest rate is compounding<\/p>\n
00:14:04:01 – 00:14:06:23
\nand they wouldn’t be able to borrow deficit spend all the time either.<\/p>\n
00:14:06:23 – 00:14:07:24
\nExactly.<\/p>\n
00:14:07:24 – 00:14:10:28
\nSo then the government wouldn’t have the money it needed to do all.<\/p>\n
00:14:11:01 – 00:14:13:12
\nWe’d have to have austerity measures real quick.<\/p>\n
00:14:13:12 – 00:14:13:29
\nRight.<\/p>\n
00:14:13:29 – 00:14:16:29
\nBut any country that would back their currency and make<\/p>\n
00:14:16:29 – 00:14:20:27
\na convertible would become the currency to go to.<\/p>\n
00:14:20:27 – 00:14:22:29
\nThey would get rid of all the crappy currencies<\/p>\n
00:14:22:29 – 00:14:28:16
\nthat they could and go straight to the real hard money currency.<\/p>\n
00:14:28:19 – 00:14:28:27
\nAll right.<\/p>\n
00:14:28:27 – 00:14:33:21
\nSo Robert Bea says asks Japan never went bankrupt.<\/p>\n
00:14:33:21 – 00:14:37:13
\nSo America has at least 30 years plus to use the dollar, right?<\/p>\n
00:14:37:15 – 00:14:38:17
\nWrong.<\/p>\n
00:14:38:17 – 00:14:42:09
\nThe reason why Japan didn’t seem to go bankrupt<\/p>\n
00:14:42:15 – 00:14:45:15
\nis because they were the second<\/p>\n
00:14:45:17 – 00:14:48:17
\nthe second highest GDP country in the world.<\/p>\n
00:14:48:23 – 00:14:51:22
\nAnd the whole world agreed<\/p>\n
00:14:51:22 – 00:14:54:22
\nto allow them what they were going through.<\/p>\n
00:14:54:25 – 00:14:58:17
\nThis time, everybody is going through the same thing.<\/p>\n
00:14:58:20 – 00:15:01:19
\nAnd we’re following Japan’s failed playbook.<\/p>\n
00:15:01:19 – 00:15:04:18
\nYou know, as Japan really in better position<\/p>\n
00:15:04:18 – 00:15:10:15
\nnow than they were in the nineties or the early 2000s with all their yield<\/p>\n
00:15:10:15 – 00:15:15:12
\ncurve control and this and that and the other thing, the answer’s no.<\/p>\n
00:15:15:12 – 00:15:21:05
\nAnd their prices for food and other things that they need have indeed gone up,<\/p>\n
00:15:21:07 – 00:15:25:13
\neven though they make it look like not Japan’s in a world of hurt.<\/p>\n
00:15:25:13 – 00:15:28:16
\nSo no, we don’t have 30 years because this time it’s<\/p>\n
00:15:28:16 – 00:15:31:16
\nthe entire world that’s going through it.<\/p>\n
00:15:31:20 – 00:15:36:03
\nSo who’s going to support everybody?<\/p>\n
00:15:36:05 – 00:15:38:07
\nSo, yeah.<\/p>\n
00:15:38:07 – 00:15:38:16
\nAll right.<\/p>\n
00:15:38:16 – 00:15:40:29
\nWell, that’s that’s all we have for today. Okay.<\/p>\n
00:15:40:29 – 00:15:44:19
\nAnd I’m going to remind you, if you have not yet done your<\/p>\n
00:15:44:20 – 00:15:48:25
\nyour own personal strategy, click that cowardly link below.<\/p>\n
00:15:49:01 – 00:15:52:26
\nSet up a time to speak with one of our gold and silver specialists<\/p>\n
00:15:52:29 – 00:15:58:23

00:16:01:20 – 00:16:05:00
\ngoing to happen on Tuesday morning at 835<\/p>\n

\nthat that’s going to be the loss of all your choices.<\/p>\n
00:16:08:07 – 00:16:11:26
\nBut it could be and I would rather be I don’t care how early<\/p>\n
00:16:11:28 – 00:16:14:07
\nrather than even one second too late.<\/p>\n
00:16:14:07 – 00:16:17:05
\nAnd that news is getting tighter and tighter.<\/p>\n
00:16:17:05 – 00:16:20:25
\nBut having the right kind of gold and silver for your objectives<\/p>\n
00:16:21:01 – 00:16:25:22
