A beginner's guide to investing in Gold  |
| One’s motivation for buying gold is fundamental to deciding in which form you should buy it. Are you a speculator, investor or saver? Do you wish to take a short term speculative position in gold? Are you investing for the short, medium or long term? Or are you diversifying, saving or using gold as a form of financial insurance?Wednesday, March 3, 2021 |

| While U.S. government and Federal Reserve officials continue to pretend as if all is well in the economy, apparently a rather important counter-party doesn’t share the same view.
A few weeks ago there was a story about how the Chinese government is considering reducing its allocation of U.S. treasuries. Now, one of the Chinese rating agencies (Dagong Global Credit Rating) has gone ahead and downgraded the U.S. credit rating.
Based on the financials, it’s hardly a surprise to see the U.S. get dowTuesday, February 20, 2018 |

| Judging by the fact that you’re reading this, at some point you have probably been concerned about the financial condition of United States government.
The publicly stated debt is now over $20 trillion, while Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff pegs the cost of unfunded liabilities at over $222 trillion! Not exactly ideal in an $18 trillion economy.

| IT WILL ALL GO HORRIBLY WRONG
By Egon von Greyerz
To own gold is not climbing a wall of worry. For anyone who understands the problems that the world is now facing, physical gold ownership gives peace of mind and the best insurance that money can buy. So why is less than 0.5% of world financial assets invested in gold and gold stocks? There are several reasons for this. Firstly, 100 years of massive credit expansion and money printing have mainly inflated the asset classes that investors understFriday, March 3, 2017 |

| Negative-yielding government debt has risen above $10 trillion for the first time, enveloping an increasingly large part of the financial markets after being fueled by central bank stimulus and a voracious investor appetite for sovereign paper.
The amount of sovereign debt trading with a sub-zero yield climbed 5 percent in May from a month earlier to $10.4 trillion, buoyed by rising bond prices in Italy, Japan, Germany, and France, according to rating agency Fitch. Yields fall as the price of thSaturday, June 4, 2016 |

So far this year, 46 companies across the world have defaulted on their debt (worth $50 billion), the highest number since the recent financial crisis, according to a study by credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s. The rise in defaults is caused by declining corporate revenues and earnings. Indeed, corporate earnings have fallen 18.5 percent from their peak in late 2014 and are estimated to decline 8.5 Tuesday, May 3, 2016 |
