The Economy Continues Its Downward Spiral

The economy continues its downward spiral and gold and approaching $2000 per ounce.  Where do we go from here?

Silver is also starting to rise again, which some people, including me, think might be a better indicator of how spooked people really are about the economy. Rich people can buy gold anytime they want, but when the average person finally realizes that they need to protect their savings from inflation, silver is usually a better option for them, because it’s cheaper.

In the podcast, I again dispel a myth about why it’s too late to buy precious metals (gold and silver) and discuss the ongoing issues of what we can expect as we continue on this path to hyperinflation.

Markets are continuing their “bouncing down the stairs” motion. However, watching the markets is a poor indicator of the current state of the economy, because it’s mainly reactionary.

Why $1764 Gold is Important

In a recent podcast, I completely flubbed the explanation for why gold reaching $1764 per ounce was important. I’ll blame it on an early morning and a late night (and I’m sticking to that story :o ).

Anyway, I found this video interview with Jim Sinclair, the man who’s pegged this important price point in gold, and he explains it much better than I.

(Tim Hawley/Getty Images) Share Comments Print Single Page Font Sizes By ELLEN TUMPOSKY July 21, 2011 Ten rare $20 gold coins that could have been worth more than $40 million to a Philadelphia family are the rightful property of the U.S. Treasury, a Philadelphia jury has ruled.

The “Double Eagles”—currently at Fort Knox– had glistened for years in a safe deposit box belonging to Joan Langbord, 81, the daughter of jeweler Israel Switt, who the government contends illegally obtained the coins in the 1930s.

The coins were among 445,000 Double Eagles made in 1933 when they were worth their face value of $20 each. They have an eagle on one side and a goddess of Liberty on the other side and are made from designs by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

Just in case it becomes a necessity.  Remember, they had to do it in Zimbabwe (their government also printed money at record-brealing levels).
