Gold Clarification

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Let me explain something. What I have pointed out about gold is that it DOES NOT rally merely because of inflation or the rise in debt. It will rally when we are looking at the collapse in confidence. The central banks have no desire to raise for their own budget will blow apart. The Fed is restrained by the ECB and the rest of the central banks pleading with the Fed on their knees NOT to raise rates.

Do not get confused about comments from the central banks that they will not raise rates. CBs only can regulate the short-term. The long-term rates are set by the market. That is why they even do Quantitative Easing – they buy in the long-term debt trying to reduce those rates because they cannot control them.

Therefore, it really does not matter what they say. That is the Press spinning it because they have nothing else to say and they have always promoted propaganda with the markets relative to interest rates. They kept preaching the market would decline because the Fed was raising rates. Well, step back and close your ears to what the press says and the talking heads you hear on TV who do not know the first thing about markets. Interest rates ran up from 2016 throughout Trump’s 4 years. They only dropped like a stone due to the COVID manipulation. The market rallied with higher rates – it crashed with lower rates – OMG!

Gold will NOT rally due to debt levels, QE, or any other BS scenario. Gold rallies due to CONFIDENCE collapsing. This is what we are dealing with the failure of central banks and the collapse in Keynesian Economics. This is why they are endorsing the Great Reset because CBs cannot raise interest rates and they have destroyed the bond market in Europe while wiping out their pension funds because they also decreed these funds MUST invest in government debt. They have destroyed the economy and that is why they are using COVID as a military tactic.

Therefore, what I am saying about gold is that it rises when CONFIDENCE collapses, not the rise and fall of QE and interest rates in the normal course of business. We must look to the general public. When they wake up and realize that there is no way this COVID nonsense will ever end because they are deliberately using it to seize the economy and transform it into this Great Reset where governments will no longer borrow money – just print. They intent to default on all public debt and replace even pensions with Guaranteed Basic Income. They are moving toward these end goals step by step so the people do not realize what is taking place.

For now, there is still the short-term risk that the dollar rises because Europe has utterly been destroyed and Schwab is in full control. Every strategic person in a key position is also on his board at the WEF.

I have had most of my savings in gold (easier to buy here than KFC) since I retired 17 years ago and have never felt more comfortable with my plan than I do today.

Good for you Thaisleeze!

I have done the same starting in the early 80’s (only taking serious macro profit when needed).

Have probably my last purchase (the way I see the future) on the way. Maybe one more buy…don’t want to leave anything with a counter party risk in the bankster’s digital claws.

I’m close to 50-50…Gold & Silver. Plenty of different junk silver for small purchases…85% in American Eagles of both.

Some of the wealth (Gold) in various denominations.

Economically: PMs, cash, and barter goods are all in my hands (you will need cash/fiat currency to get through the beginning of a Credit freeze when the dollar gives up the ghost…or rather when the FED’s final solution is complete…cash will be handy for a while).

All forms of Prep long stashed in redundant redundancy…I live on a modest working farm with the best summer harvest in 9 years.

I am stunned when I talk to some (I don’t talk to too many outside TBP…live a reclusive rural life) about their still complete and total lack of any prep of any significance (grasshoppers). I have a small tight circle of likeminded friends (we are all ants and are in a Bible study together) who are constantly preparing, and we will band together.

Gold evaporates whenever there is chaos.
It can be protected with lead, though.
Make sure you have enough lead to encase it so it doesn’t evaporate on you.
