How to Have the Government Print Some Money for YOU TooContrary to a lot of opinion, history has shown that gold actually isn’t the best defense against rampant inflation; stocks are (if purchased at sensible values). What gold is really about is something far deeper and even more ominous… Gold is the antithesis of government. Gold is truth from a monetary standpoint. Gold is one of the few things remaining in the world that is not a big fat lie. As far back as the Roman emperors, governments have been and still are, concerned with ‘bread and circus’ pandering to the masses to stay in power. What the masses want of course, is free money. The deception they use to achieve this magical feat is to PRINT IT. The Roman emperors were the first legal counterfeiters. Now thankfully, the whole world isn’t completely brainless (though it’s a close call) and sophisticated investors know what governments are really all about and they will buy more gold the more money printing governments do. What the price of gold is telling us actually isn’t inflation (from a rising price perspective), but rather government dishonesty increasing. (Some may argue that technically inflation is defined as the supply of money therefore gold actually is linked to inflation but I’m talking about the rising prices of things scenario- the supply of money and rising prices don’t have a direct link). Because governments all over the world are trying to counterfeit their way out of a natural correction in the economy (they’ve made up the more palatable term: quantitative easing for this deception), ALL paper currencies are now suspect. Gold is set to rise in line with this. Let me be clear: deflation is an absolute nightmare scenario and governments are petrified of it. Therefore, once this finally dawns on them, they will print so much money that the very existence of paper money will be called into question and that’s when gold will have its day. This time will coincide with the exact moment most of the world had given up on gold. Buy investing in solid, dividend-paying gold miners, the government is practically guaranteeing that some of that money they’re printing will come your way… |
