November 15, 1923: The End of German Hyperinflation  |
| On 15 November 1923 decisive steps were taken to end the nightmare of hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic: TheReichsbank, the German central bank, stopped monetizing government debt, and a new means of exchange, theRentenmark, was issued next to thePapermark (in German:Papiermark). These measures succeeded in halting hyperinflation, but the purchasing power of thePapermark was completely ruined.Sunday, November 22, 2020 |

 Does Gold Keep up in Hyperinflation  |
| Inflation is anatural consequence of loose government monetary policy. If those policies get too loose, hyperinflation can occur. As gold investors,we'd like to know if the precious metals would keep pace in this extreme scenario.
Hyperinflation is an extremely rapid period of inflation, but when does inflation (which can be manageable) cross the line and become out-of-control hyperinflation? PhilipCagan, one of the very first researchers of this phenomenon, defines hyperinflation as "an inflation rate of 50% or more in a single month, "something largely inconceivable to the average investor.Wednesday, August 19, 2020 |

| All Paper is STILL a short position on gold |
| The gold derivatives pyramid is a vigorous free market creature. It cannot be put down with a simple declaration that the paper is no longer redeemable in gold, as governments did with currency. It is a short selling scheme that has become a trap from which few short sellers will escapeFriday, April 17, 2020 |

| DERIVATIVES – A RECIPE FOR DISASTER SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE |
| Gambling is according to Wikipedia the wagering of money (or something of value) on an event with an uncertain outcome. Three elements are required for gambling, Consideration, chance, and prize. Thus, you make a bet and if you are lucky you win a prize but you can also lose it all. Gambling has been around for thousands of years and maybe longer. The first 6-sided dice dates back 3000 years. Eventually gambling became more organised as casinos were established. The first well known casino was sThursday, March 15, 2018 |

| How Will Gold Prices Behave During The Next Economic Crisis |
| This report was originally published by Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.com
It is generally well known in economic circles and in the general public that precious metals, including gold, tend to be the go-to investment during times of fiscal uncertainty. There is a good reason for this. Precious metals have foundation qualities that provide trade stability; these include inherent rarity (rather than artificially engineered rarity such as that associated with cryptocurrencies), tangibility (you can Tuesday, March 13, 2018 |

| MOPE; The Government Will Never Let It Happen … |
| How often have you heard the phrase “the government will never let it happen”? It almost doesn’t matter what the topic is you are talking about, nothing “bad” can ever really happen …or so it is thought. The reason of course is because we are so many years into “MOPE” (management of perspective economics). No matter what has happened in the past, the media, Wall Street, and the government have constantly spun the narrative to lead the “perspective”.

| SOCIALISM – A GUARANTEED ROUTE TO HYPERINFLATION |
| Gold is hated by governments around the world because it reveals their deceitful actions in totally destroying the economy. It is not an accident that gold is the only money which has survived for 6,000 years. Gold is the only money that tells the truth. And gold is nature’s money which means it cannot be destroyed and it cannot be manufactured.
This is why governments cannot live with gold as money for more than short periods. Because over time governments always spend more than the country earFriday, March 2, 2018 |

| Stock Market Volatility Attributed to 'Shenanigans' |
| Back in January, I discussed the likelihood that global equity markets were approaching simultaneous tipping points beyond which legions upon legions of GenX-ers and Millennials would be thrown to the wolves by failing to recognize the financial mania engulfing them. I alluded to it being "Time for the Beast to Exhale," and within a few days, my volatility trade (UVXY) exploded to the upside as the "beast," better known as the global stock market ascent, finally exhaled and fell 3,300 Dow JonesFriday, February 23, 2018 |

| The True Meaning of Bitcoin's 'Success' |
| In the year 301 AD, the Roman unit of barter was the denarius, which had originally been 95% pure silver when introduced by Augustus at the end of the first century BC but by the time of Diocletian's rule, it had moved to 50,000 denarii to a pound of gold. Ten year later, it took 120,000 denarii to buy a pound of gold and by 337, that figure was 20,000,000. What had occurred in a mere 400 years was that a slow and agonizing erosion in the purchasing power of the Roman currency accelerated to fulFriday, December 1, 2017 |

| Stumbling Into the Bubble Zone |
| Bubbles are a fact of financial life! We know about the Dutch Tulip Bubble and the English South Sea bubble. Silly – right? They couldn’t happen in this modern age!
Think again!
Consider the following examples, a few of many that could be shown. Amazon, Apple and Bitcoin.
Amazon, Apple, Bitcoin and other stocks show vertical rises – classic bubble behavior. They might implode soon or their prices could rise even higher. There are few limits on crazy price moves and central bank currency pTuesday, November 14, 2017 |

| JP Morgan, at least according to the daily Comex warehouse report,
added over half a million ozs of silver to its “historic” stash of
silver at the Comex:

It would be even more interesting to see an actual independent

| WAKE UP AMERICA – THE DOLLAR IS GOING TO ZERO |
| For news to be read and understood by a great number of people, it must be simple, sensational and forgettable. Most individuals are not interested in “heavy” news or complicated issues. Just compare television and newspapers today to say 50 years ago. At that time, newspapers had very few pictures but instead covered serious matters with in depth analysis. Same with television. In the 1960s there was serious news and many programmes which raised important issues in society or politics, which maMonday, October 2, 2017 |

| By Bill Holter I had not planned on penning a public article today but my plans were changed by Martin Armstrong as he again is busy attempting to rewrite history. He is again trying to scare people away from their only financial hurricane insurance, gold ...why? Any thinking person knows a credit disaster is coming. Heck, even he has called for a pending financial disaster himself...but gold is not a safe harbor "this time"? As a reminder of past fallacy, Mr. Armstrong wrote back in SeptemThursday, September 14, 2017 |

| On August 21st many Americans witnessed the moon cast a historic but short-lived shadow across the United States. One day later, President Trump reversed his previously stated position on the 16 year old Afghan War, thereby eclipsing the possibility that the United States would finally come to its senses and rethink a failed strategy that is likely to fail for years, perhaps decades, to come. The abrupt change, in what had been a central plank in candidate Trump's appeal to voters thirsting forThursday, August 3, 2017 |

 HUBRIS KILLS WHILST GOLD PROTECTS |
| Hubris is a deadly sin. It is an arrogance and conceit of the highest degree that eventually leads to failure. As we reach the final stages of the current economic cycle, hubris is prevalent everywhere. Central bankers and bankers believe that they can continue to create wealth by printing and borrowing money. Since it has worked so well for 100 years in this latest cycle, why can’t it continue?
