| The Secret of Wealth Preservation - Jeff Nielson |
| We have a failure to communicate. The vast
majority of the investment public in the Western world has no understanding –
at all – about how to preserve and protect their wealth. Of the minority of the
investment community with some understanding of wealth preservation, almost
invariably it is a flawed understanding.
Understanding wealth preservation begins
with having a detailed and correct understanding of
“money”.
Understanding money begins with correctly comprehending the difference betweWednesday, December 23, 2020 |

 The Truth About War and the State  |
| Not long ago I was thinking about the legacy of Murray N. Rothbard, the brilliant scholar and the creator of the libertarian movement, as well as a dear friend to both Ron and me. Would that movement have come into existence without Murray? I don’t think so. And whatever might have developed in its place would undoubtedly have been less pro-peace, and more willing to reach an accord with the warfare stSaturday, September 5, 2020 |

| Fed Hikes, Dollar, and Gold |
| The
US dollar has fallen rather sharply over the past year or so,
despite ongoing Fed rate hikes. This persistent dollar weakness has
really boosted gold. There’s a fascinating interplay between these
two currencies and futures speculators’ expectations for Fed rate
hikes. These traders hang on every word from top Fed officials,
which greatly influences their trading. So these relationships are
important to understand.

| OWN GOLD BEFORE PANDORA REOPENS THE BOX |
| In the old Greek mythology, the opening of Pandora’s box unleashed many evils on the world. Within the next few years, we will see a modern Pandora’s box being opened that will lead to events in the world which will be as devastating as when the ancient box was opened. The very big difference is that this time the consequences will not be part of historical mythology. Instead they will be real and catastrophic for the whole world on a scale never experienced in history.

| Mars and Mercury Decide the Fate of the U.S. Dollar and Gold |
| The U.S. dollar has been bleeding recently, despite all the Fed’s tightening efforts and the passage of Trump’s tax cuts. An accelerating economy, rising interest rates and pro-growth reforms should logically drive the value of the American currency. But they didn’t.
Given the strong negative correlation between the greenback and gold, finding the cause behind the dollar’s wounds is highly critical. The most common explanation among analysts is Trump the Destroyer. It shouldn’t be surprising, asFriday, February 9, 2018 |

| GOLD WILL SURGE AS THE WORLD HITS A ROCK OR A HARD PLACE |
| The world is now between Scylla and Charybdis or between two evils. Thus, there is no solution or positive outcome of the the present state of the world economy. Scylla is the rock or the six headed monster whilst Charybdis is a whirlpool or a black hole (a hard place).
BETWEEN SCYLLA (a rock) and CHARYBDIS (a hard place)

| Will Chinese Dragon Boost or Devour Gold |
| China may slow down its U.S. debt buying. Will gold rally or plunge, then?
Dragons Love Hoarding Gold and Not Only
Dragons love gold. In Greek mythology, dragons were set by the gods to guard golden treasures. It makes perfect sense, since it would be rather difficult to find better guards. Everybody who watched The Hobbit series knows that this is true – the powerful Smaug hoarded a lot and was really obsessed with his shiny treasure.
The Chinese dragon is also believed to hoard a lot of gold. Friday, January 12, 2018 |

| Why India's gold sales shine |
| As the world’s second largest consumer of gold, India can exert a significant influence on the precious metals market. Indian demand is particularly robust for one of the country’s key festivals, Diwali, which starts this week. Perhaps the most important and widely celebrated Hindu festival, Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness and honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. This year could prove to be a bumper one following a decision by the Indian government to excWednesday, October 18, 2017 |

In Memorium: Harvey Weinstein  |
| The Greeks and Romans had one up on us: their gods and goddesses were not so easy to impersonate. Their gods and goddesses acted at a remove from everyday life, out of reach, except in the popular imagination. Two thousand years later, along comes Hollywood with an industry designed to manufacture gods and goddesses, and churns them out in its “dream factories” like so many floor lamps.
Movies, it turned out, with its close-up shots on the giant silver screen, were a much better vehicle for depiTuesday, October 17, 2017 |

 The Future (Not) |
| I took myself to the new movie Blade Runner 2049 to see what kind of future the Hollywood dream-shop is serving up in these days. It was an excellent illustration of the over-investments in technology with diminishing returns that are dragging us into collapse and of the attendant techno-narcissism that afflicts the supposedly thinking class in this society, who absolutely don’t get what this collapse is about. The more computer magic Hollywood drags into the picture, the less coherent their stoSunday, October 15, 2017 |

We will not offer our guess as to whether this is true. Instead, we want to point out something that should be self-evident. If big money is soon to come in, and presumably drive the price up to whatever new height—perhaps even the magic $1,000,000—whatMonday, August 28, 2017 |

"Narcissism falls along the axis of what psychologists call personality disorders, one of a group that includes antisocial, dependent, histrionic, avoidant and borderline personalities.
But by most measures, narcissism is one of the worst, if only because the narcissists themselves are so clueless."

| Central Bank Hubris That Would Make Icarus Blanche |
| In Greek mythology, hubris is defined as excessive pride or self-confidence, in defiance of the gods, which ultimately brings about one’s demise. Synonyms include arrogance, conceit, self-importance, egotism, pomposity, superciliousness, and superiority – with some of the most famous mythological examples being Phaethon, Narcissisus, Arachne, and Cassiopeia; and in modern times, Richard Nixon, Tiger Woods, and Mel Gibson. However, the “poster child” of hubris, in my view, is Icarus; who, in deThursday, June 29, 2017 |

| by Egon von Greyerz
The general public doesn’t like hearing what some of us who are Cassandras have to say. Because our message is does not fit in with the choir of propaganda and lies. We are predicting a future for the world which is unpleasant for most people and therefore few believe our predictions. It is part of human nature to believe that the current state of affairs will go on forever. And that is the case whether times are good or bad. In bad times, everyone believes that it will nFriday, June 9, 2017 |

Regular readers are familiar with Warren Buffett's activities over the past few years. He has been hoarding dollars – lots and lots of dollars. This was first brought to the attention of readers in August 2014. At that time, Buffett was already hoarding $50 billion.

Nothing in northern history is as heavily romanticized as the Klondike Gold Rush. The era has been mythologized as the last great leap in westward expansion, when thousands flooded north and a culture of greed, gambling, and gunplay swept over the Last Frontier.

| The NEW U.S. Economic Mythology - Jeff Nielson |
| The Corporate media lies to us, all of the
time. This is not an assertion, merely an elementary observation. With a real
“free press”, we see occasional moments where different media outlets may agree
on the interpretation of particular events and/or the relative importance of
events. All other times, we see a divergence of opinion between media outlets.
This is what we would expect to see. Homo
sapiens are a contrarian species. We all have our own ideas – or at least we
used to.

| The Great Interest Rate Contradiction - Jeff Nielson |
| It is both one of the greatest contradictions and greatest
frauds in the entire realm of markets: the U.S. interest rate contradiction.
The facts are these. At the end of 2008; the Federal Reserve (with other
Western central banks in tow) embarked upon the most-extreme monetary policies
in Western monetary history: “quantitative easing” (monetizing debt), and 0%
interest rates (i.e. free money).
A so-called 0% interest rate is a prima facie fraud. By
