We’ve all heard of the inflationary horrors so many countries have lived through in the past. Developing nations and advanced economies alike – no country in history has escaped the debilitating fallout of unrepentant currency abuse. And we expect the same fallout to impact the US, the EU, Japan – all of today’s countries that have turned to the printing press as a solution to their economic woes.
Now, it seems obvious to us that the way to protect oneself against high inflation is to
Politicians and the Federal Reserve are spinning tales of a slow but steady economic recovery in the United States. But economists and financial advisors like Peter Schiff are not fooled by the double speak. The Economic Collapse Blog published a good summary of recent major economic data and news that indicate the picture is not nearly as rosy as Washington would like us to believe.
A MarketWatch commentary has analyzed the Federal Reserve’s transcripts from the 2008 recession and found that it is grossly incompetent at predicting and understanding recessions. There doesn’t seem to be any good reasons to expect that the Fed has improved its market diagnostic skills. What does that mean for investors today? Don’t trust the official hype – the economy is doing a lot worse than Yellen’s Fed claims.
The Silver Institute has released its February Silver News, jam-packed with stories on the latest developments in silver technology. This issue includes an interview with an industry insider about the recent American Eagle coin shortage, as well as articles about silver in hard drives, spark plugs, and the Gorilla Glass used on smartphones.
A new poll by McClatchy-Marist reveals that Americans are increasingly aware of the inequality of the US economic system. Further, they don’t think it’s getting any better. They expect the next generation to be worse off than they are, and the majority doesn’t think the government’s policies are helping.
Famed economist Marc Faber gave an interview to The Australian Financial Review and had no compunctions about tearing into the horrible policies of central banks around the world. Like Peter Schiff, Faber doesn’t see any real tightening happening in the near future.

Gold has been in a downturn for more than two years now, resulting in the lowest investor sentiment in a long while. Hardcore goldbugs find no explanation in the big-picture financial numbers of government deficits and money creation, which should be supportive to gold. I have an explanation for why gold has been down – and why that is about to reverse itself. I’m convinced that now is the best time to invest in gold again.
It’s mainstream now. The US economic recovery is a sham, especially when it comes to the plight of the middle class. A new piece at CNNMoney reviews the major economic metrics that are not nearly as positive as they would be if we were experiencing a real recovery. These include the weak job market, underperforming manufacturing sector, weak global trade, and much more.
Bron Suchecki, the Depository Administrator of the Perth Mint in Australia, has posted some interesting and alarming insights into the looming supply restraints on gold coins. If popular demand picks back up in the coming year, it could easily force mints to ration their supplies and send premiums surging.
