Gold Is Literally Priceless
No matter how high the price of gold goes in U.S. dollars, the value of an ounce of gold remains the same. Gold is literally priceless.
Investor Expectations Versus Fed Intentions
Quite a few people are convinced that they know what the Fed will do next, and why. How do they know? Is it really that obvious? Here are some more questions.
The Price Of Gold Is Irrelevant
Attempts to analyze and value gold are superfluous. Gold’s value, its use as money, has already been established. That value is constant and unquestioned.
How High Can Silver Go?
Silver's uptrend since its low one year ago, although impressive, is still part of a longer-term downtrend that is almost three years old.
$4K Gold - USD Collapse?
​​​​​​​For gold to go to $4000 will require a further fifty percent loss in US dollar purchasing power and a doubling of consumer prices.
Gold At $4000 - What Will It Take?
For that to happen, the U.S. dollar would have to lose fifty percent of its current purchasing power. It could happen, but how soon and how quickly? The shorter the time period, the more devastating the effects.
The Biggest Source Of Inflation Today
Inflation is the debasement of money by governments and central banks. All governments inflate and destroy their own currencies.
The Prostitution Of Gold
The gold market has become a social gathering place for an odd combination of participants.
Gold's Deceptive New Highs
Expectations for "new highs" in gold are unrealistic and untimely. Any such highs will come only after more losses in U.S. dollar purchasing power, and could be several years away.
Gold Bulls Are Too Price-Dependent
Effects of inflation are unpredictable and disproportionate to the amount of inflation created. Hence, accurately predicting a future gold price is theoretically impossible. Attempts to do so lead to price dependency, which is risky and costly.
High Prices Are Not Inflation
Continuous expansion of the supply of money and credit cheapens the value of all money in circulation and leads to a loss in purchasing power. The loss in purchasing power shows up in the form of higher prices, which are the effects of inflation.
Does Crypto Still Have Value?
The value of cryptocurrencies has to do with the transaction process. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have value because they provide a process for the private transfer of money. Without that privacy, any imputed value is suspect.
Gold Leaves Silver In The Dust
Over time, silver moves back and forth over the same ground without moving higher; and always falls farther and faster than gold.
The Rising Cost Of Producing Gold
Production costs are rising faster than the price of gold, squeezing the potential profit margins of the miners.
Fed Interest Rate Policy – 2008, 1929, And Now
The bubble continued to grow until the Fed changed their interest rate policy early last year. Since then, asset prices have come down substantially and recovered somewhat. More importantly, the economy has slowed measurably.
Gold Price - What New Highs?
What some investors and others call bull markets in gold (1971-80; 2001-2011; 2016-2020) are nothing more than the gold price playing catch-up to the most recent effects of inflation.
