‘If you don’t own gold, you know neither history nor economics’ – Ray Dalio (2024)
‘Gold is money, everything else is credit’ – J.P. Morgan (1912)
Precious metals protect your purchasing power and have no counterparty or credit risk like paper and digital money which basically are credit instruments issued by governments and financial institutions. Owning gold and silver is a risk insurance for every investment portfolio. Through inflation, paper money, by intent and design, transfers value from the holder to the issuer of the paper fiat currency. Every time a new paper currency ($ €) is created from thin air, a part of your purchasing power is lost and transferred to the new currency. Also in times of deflation (prices going down due to e.g. crises), precious metals are doing well. In crises, money flows back from stock, debt and real estate markets to safe harbors like commodities and certainly precious metals. Furthermore, when price discovery for silver and gold will be set again through physical supply and demand – how real commodity markets always (will) work (rather than the highly overleveraged and manipulated future paper markets now – COMEX / LBMA), the real price for silver and gold will go to the moon. A wealth transfer will happen from paper claims to physical assets from the moment the vaults of bullion banks become empty . Make sure you own some gold and silver before the financial system implodes under its own weight of inflated paper money claims and mounting debts.
