As I have argued many times in the past, the corruption of money itself and its purposeful devaluation is by far the most important problem facing not just investors and savers, but virtually every single citizen on the face of the planet. Taxation, especially the extremely predatory and aggressive kind that most governments enforce today, might indeed be theft, but inflation is even worse. This is because taxation might be robbery, but at least it...

Gold’s flashing warning: The end is nigh for fiat
Gold’s spectacular performance has drawn a lot of attention and invited endless analyses and commentaries. There are many theories out there as to why the yellow metal is surging like never before in modern memory, however most of them are shortsighted, or tend to miss the forest for the trees. The metal’s meteoric rise is not merely sending message about inflation expectations or rate policy. It’s flashing a clear warning sign about the...

Bastiat’s enduring legacy
Frédéric Bastiat, the 19th-century French economist and philosopher, is best known for his defense of individual liberty, free markets, and limited government, and his ideas, especially at the time he conceived them were as profound as they were simple and elegant. He recognized the absolute need to protect the smallest minority in the world, the individual, and he clearly saw the numerous dangers of state overreach, of aggressive interventionism...

A conversation with Catherine Austin Fitts
I recently had the great pleasure of (virtually) sitting down with Catherine Austin Fitts, investment banker, President of Solari, and former US Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing, and having an extremely interesting conversation about the outlook for gold and silver. It was a fascinating discussion, especially given our current economic, monetary and geopolitical context: there so many risks and challenges ahead, that...

Investing in times of policy volatility
At the end of last month, a shock announcement came from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), declaring that one-kilogram and 100-ounce gold bars imported from Switzerland would be subject to a hefty 39% tariff, under the country’s “reciprocal tariffs” policy, which had already applied broadly to Swiss goods. This CBP decision came in response to a Swiss refiner’s request for clarity and guidance on whether gold would be part of the wider US...

Storing gold in the right place and in the right way
By now, I’m pretty sure that all of my clients and regular readers fully understand why allocating a part of their wealth to physical precious metals is not just the smart move, but an increasingly essential one. Owing real, tangible gold and silver is the only way to protect yourself from both monetary and fiscal excesses and from government overreach. However, it is equally important to know what to do with it once you bought it. Preparing for...

Geopolitical theater and implications for investors (or lack thereof)
The last month has been truly remarkable for modern human history – at least if one was paying attention to mainstream news headlines and TV anchors. Apparently, we came extremely close to World War III and we very likely had a very tight escape from an all-out nuclear holocaust that could have forever changed the our species’ trajectory and annihilated millions.
It all started with Israel’s surprise bombardment of Iran (which wasn’t really a...

A Politically Incorrect “Where Are We Now?”
A few days ago, I had the great pleasure to sit down again with my good friend James Patrick in person, in Monte Brè. It was a truly spontaneous and unfiltered conversation about the current state of the world, the bizarre geopolitical situation and the tragicomical moment in history that we find ourselves in. We talked about the extreme, and likely unprecedented, risks we face in the global economic and financial system and I’m very glad we...

The Great Taking!
Interview with James Patrick, TheGreatTakingReport.com
As many of my clients, friends and regular readers know well, I’ve spent the better part of the last decade criticizing all the great evils and trespasses of the State and its crony capitalist accomplices. I’ve written extensive analyses and gave many speeches warning fellow citizens about the dangers that lie in government power grabs and authoritarian transgressions. The most important of...

The Reece Committee: Lessons from history
In the early 1950s, against the backdrop of the Cold War and growing concerns over potential clandestine efforts at internal subversion, the United States Congress launched an investigation into the activities of major tax-exempt foundations. Thus the Reece Committee was born, spearheaded by Congressman B. Carroll Reece, with the aim of establishing whether certain large and influential foundations, like the Carnegie Endowment, the Ford Foundation,...

Silver: A rare buying opportunity
The gold price recently surged to unprecedented levels, surpassing the $3,000 per ounce milestone. This remarkable surge has been attributed to escalating geopolitical tensions, the revival of the trade wars, mounting inflation concerns, and of course, a very uncertain and very worrying outlook for the global economy and for the markets. As they always do, investors have once again flocked to the safe haven that gold unmistakably provides, pushing...

The Case Against Fordism
Share this article
It’s hard to imagine where we would be today in terms of economic progress, industrial production capacity and labour dynamics if Henry Ford never existed. The revolutionary system he pioneered in the early 20th century, largely known for implementing the concept of the “assembly line” (which, notably, was actually invented by Ransom Eli Olds, and merely popularized by Ford), forever changed the way companies thought about...

Predictions vs. Convictions
Separating the signal from the noise
Most regular readers and friends will undoubtedly already know what my position is in regards to projections and forecasts. For many years, I have consistently maintained that any and all attempts to “time the market” are as useless as they are unrealistic and I have always urged all responsible and rational investors to be extremely wary and suspicious of anyone that claims they can accurately predict market...
