\u201cI was just thinking today.. whether I should put everything in gold and silver,\u201d says Dr. Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report. In today\u2019s interview, Faber argues liquidity is flooding the system, fueling speculation in everything from stocks to crypto while crushing the middle class with soaring living costs. \u201cThroughout 5,000 years of history, governments have always chosen the same path \u2014 they print. And believe me, under Mr. Trump the deficit will go up substantially. He\u2019s a money printer.\u201d Faber explains why official inflation numbers are \u201ca joke,\u201d why cash and bonds are \u201cthe worst instruments to hold,\u201d and why individuals must act before governments do: \u201cI still recommend everyone, everywhere, to accumulate gold gradually. Between 20% and 40% of your wealth should be in precious metals.\u201d Watch how he plans to preserve his wealth in these tumultuous times.<\/p>\n
Is the Fed gaslighting America?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s exactly what Dr. Marc Faber\u2014known as \u201cDr. Doom\u201d\u2014argues. Despite Wall Street and the Fed insisting monetary policy is \u201ctight,\u201d the reality tells a different story. M2 money supply is surging, speculation is rampant, and inflation quietly bleeds households dry.<\/p>\n
Against this backdrop, Faber warns that investors may have no choice but to make what he calls a 100% gold bet<\/strong> as the system slides deeper into debt, deception, and decline.<\/p>\n The Fed wants you to believe they\u2019re taming inflation through higher interest rates. But Faber calls it out:<\/p>\n M2 money supply is at record highs<\/strong>\u2014hardly evidence of real tightening.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Speculation is booming<\/strong>\u2014from stocks to cryptos\u2014proof that liquidity remains abundant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Consumer inflation is underreported<\/strong>\u2014official 2\u20133% figures don\u2019t reflect real-life costs, which Faber estimates run between 6\u201312%<\/strong> depending on household circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cNobody can tell me that money is really tight when stocks, real estate, cryptos, and collectibles are all booming,\u201d Faber said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n America\u2019s official debt recently smashed through $37 trillion<\/strong>. To Faber, this isn\u2019t a temporary challenge\u2014it\u2019s a permanent trap.<\/p>\n Politicians won\u2019t cut spending\u2014too unpopular.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Higher taxes won\u2019t fly\u2014especially in an election year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Defaulting is politically unthinkable<\/strong>\u2014pensions, insurers, and hedge funds all hold Treasuries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n That leaves the only play governments have ever used in history: printing more money.<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like Rome debased its coins, Washington will print until the dollar itself loses credibility.<\/p>\n Faber notes the real crisis is already here:<\/p>\n Housing affordability at record lows<\/strong> (Goldman Sachs data).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wages lagging behind living costs<\/strong>, pushing more families into quiet recession.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wealth concentration<\/strong> at 1929 levels, fueled by the Fed\u2019s liquidity pump.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This isn\u2019t tightening\u2014it\u2019s redistribution, funneling money to the top while crushing the middle class.<\/p>\n When asked if gold could remonetize the system, Faber was skeptical of governments\u2014but bullish for individuals.<\/p>\n Gold has preserved wealth for centuries<\/strong>, unlike fiat currencies that always collapse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n From $35\/oz in 1970 to over $3,000 today<\/strong>, gold reflects the relentless erosion of purchasing power.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Faber himself holds around 25% of his wealth in precious metals<\/strong>, but admits he\u2019s tempted to go all in\u2014100% gold and silver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Why? Because governments across the West will keep printing, destroying savers and debasing the dollar.<\/p>\n In this environment of deception and debt, physical gold and silver stand apart<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Wealth preservation:<\/strong> Hard assets outside the financial system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Inflation hedge:<\/strong> Gold vs. dollar has been a 50-year mismatch, with gold winning decisively.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tangible security:<\/strong> Unlike bonds and cash, metals can\u2019t be defaulted on or digitally erased.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Even platinum, Faber notes, is undervalued compared to gold\u2014a reminder that tangible commodities remain the one true store of value.<\/p>\n [Link to related guide or post]<\/p>\n The Fed may claim \u201ctightening,\u201d but the facts expose the gaslight: soaring M2, unsustainable debt, and rising inequality. As Faber warns, the path forward is clear\u2014more printing, more inflation, and more loss of purchasing power.<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who want to protect themselves, the only real option left may be exactly what Dr. Doom is considering: a 100% gold bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n ITM Trading has over 28 years of experience helping clients safeguard their wealth through personalized strategies built on physical gold and silver.
