Hello and thank you for your wise advice. Can I ask how many ounces should someone own? Obviously more is better but how does someone know when they have enough vs other investments?
@@bradspaugh9827 Not a financial advisor, but common sense suggests: * Own your house and vehicles outright. * Pay off any other debts. * Have a large larder. * If any “money” left, buy some land. * Keep a few months’ fiat out of the bank. * Turn most of the rest of the fiat into silver and gold. These are my suggested “investments.” Last one: read “The Great Taking.”
@@bradspaugh9827 good question…Egon Von Greyerz said it very well when he said you should only invest in gold as much money as you can NOT afford to loose…. But seriously, many people used to say that having 5-15% of their net worth in gold would be a wise level of ‘insurance’ against monetary malfeasance of governments. Today that percentage currently held by individuals is much smaller as the financialization of our markets has led people away from real money (which is gold). But many people are starting to consider acquiring physical gold and silver. Own physical gold and some silver, and keep it very discreetly within your own possession. Just a suggestion…
If you have a wheelbarrow full of German marks to buy bread, and someone steals the wheelbarrow and leaves the marks on the ground, what is the inflation rate?
Kudos to Alasdair for his usual astute analysis. He mentioned one of my very favourite "war" movies set in Changi prison, the Malaysian P.O.W. camp located in Singapore. King Rat is a 1965 b+w film with a very strong cast headed by George Segal, Tom Courtenay, and James Fox. Thanks, Patrick, for hosting such excellent guests on SBTV.

Got a 500.000,00 peso note in Argentina in 1976 from my husband to buy a bottle of perfume, bought it got a stack of notes back that only could buy me a cup of coffee. From then on I understood what’s all about money and currency. Great experience.
I like Alasdair, but his view that gold is not rising seems absurd to me. I get that fiat currencies are falling, but as they do so the demand for gold, and the safety it provides, is rising. This process forces up the real value of gold relative to all things, not just relative to falling fiat currencies, so gold is indeed rising.
@@mothermary3796 that only rings true if you cherry pick the measurement dates. Mines done nicely, thank you, and had I have brought in just 4 months earlier then I would be streets ahead..at least 25% above inflation
See if you can find a chart that shows the shares outstanding on the biggest gold ETF-GLD-and then tell us that gold is rising because of demand. The demand in the biggest ETF has been shrinking for years, only recently going flat.
According to Macleod's quoted numbers, an ounce of gold would have purchased 33 barrels of oil in the early 1950s. At the present gold price, an ounce will buy 28 barrels. So, priced in gold, oil has risen 20% since then - not declined 30%, as Macleod claims (at time 25:23 in the video). Either way, such changes are within the normal annual fluctuation of the oil price.
De-dollarization is actively progressing at a rapid pace among BRICS+ countries initially. Soon it would spread to the rest of the world to get rid of their US$ ASAP when they found the US$ was no longer the main medium of exchange and trade settlement among trading nations
World interest rates were in the order or 15-17% in the early 90's, but then they cam down to what we have enjoyed the last 20 years. We are worried about the tip into hyperinflation now at 10% when things have been far worse in the past. What happened then that cannot happen now? Same Bretton Woods system.
even though most think the Fed rate is high it's very low compared to the real rate of interest/inflation which generally means more liquidity or relatively easy money

A silver dime with .0715 ounces (or .0735 ounces originally, since they have degraded) has roughly always bought you a gallon of gasoline.
I dunno, a dime is worth 2.10. Gas has inflated way past that per gallon now. May change if silver goes to about $30/oz

An ounce of gold is always an ounce of gold in weight. Gold"s paper value changes because the currency it is measured against is falling.
Or, the FED's plunge protection team are manipulating the market - again

measured in real money which is gold it just lost another 20% of it's value within last month..
No cut in interest rates.
It is rising only relative to other currencies. They are all falling relative to gold.
It Will rise to the moon but you can’t in the end buy NOTHING with it.
Its falling. Every month you need more & more U$Ds to buy the same ounce of gold.
