In-depth study Of 1929 And 2020 crises

Gold-Eagle/F.T. Dao/6-1-2020

“We expect GSR [the gold-silver ratio] first drop from a historical high value of 120 to 60, and then to 30.  The drop will take several years.  What does the drop represent?  Clearly for the 2020 crisis, it means that silver is rapidly joining gold as safe-haven money. This is Nature’s way to put a stop to unlimited currency printing, leading to a Great Monetary Reset, where gold and silver will pay an important role.”

Changing monetary places

Sprott/James Grant/5-15-2020

photo of a Napoleon 40 franc gold coin 1812“[T]he French people,” pronounced the Bank for International Settlements in 1949, four years after the end of World War II, “remembering the old gold franc introduced by Napoleon in 1803 (the so-called franc germinal), which maintained its value intact up to 1914, and thus withstood the strain of two lost wars—1814 and 1871—as well as a number of other vicissitudes, can-not help thinking that, compared with the paper franc which since 1914 has lost 99% of its purchasing power, gold, irrespective of any short-term fluctuations in the price paid for it, is in the long run a trustworthy basis for savings.”

USAGOLD note:  The above is quoted from the May 15, 2020 edition of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer under the headline: Changing Monetary Places.  Besides being a top-notch thinker, Grant reminds us in this piece of his formidable skills putting pen to paper.

Bitcoiners go wild after Goldman revives Tulipmania comparison

Bloomberg/Vildana Harjic

“Buzz that Goldman would release a report discussing the state of the economy as well as gold and cryptocurrencies set enthusiasts ablaze, with many hoping the bank would finally put its weight behind digital tokens. But Goldman disappointed and upset many once details of its report were brought to light, with the bank blasting Bitcoin and other coins as unsuitable investments for its clients.”

Why our economy may be headed for a decade of depression

NewYorkMagazine/Eric Levitz

graphic image-icon of bear stepping through round portal“The economist (and host of a biweekly economic news broadcast) does expect things to get better before they get worse: He foresees a slow, lackluster (i.e., “U-shaped”) economic rebound in the pandemic’s immediate aftermath. But he insists that this recovery will quickly collapse beneath the weight of the global economy’s accumulated debts.”

USAGOLD note: The economist mentioned is Noriel Roubini otherwise known as “Doctor Doom.” Roubini has shied away from a public pronouncement advocating gold ownership, but his analysis offers one of the more consistent and cogent rationales in its favor available.  He was right in 2006 just before the crisis in 2008 and Wall Street’s bulls fear he might be right now.

Gold, enduring value

Over the past fifty years, if you lived in India, South Africa, China , or Turkey, there was not a single decade you lost money owing gold five decades in a row!

Further, since it became legal again to own gold in the U.S., the gains have well exceeded the two losing decades.

Gold is a store of value to be handed down through generations.  The same cannot be said about stocks and bonds.

And, have you noticed that silver is gaining on gold, as measured by the gold-silver price ratio?  A declining ratio means silver is gaining on gold, on a percentage basis.  Only a few years ago, the GSR was in the 60s.  Now it’s above 90.

To monitor the gold-silver ratio, download CMI’s app to your smart phone.  If an Apple phone, go to the Apple Store and search for “CMI gold prices.”  If an Android, go to Google Play and search for “CMI gold prices.”

Our app provides gold, silver, platinum, and palladium prices at your fingertips, plus access to our website.
