Do you believe that history repeats itself, and if it does repeat, is it accidental? I would say yes and no.
The roaring twenties is a phrase characterizing a period in the 20th century where it was said that Western countries were in a decade was characterized by economic prosperity, rapid social and cultural change, and a mood of exuberant optimism. Preceding the so-called roaring 20s was a central bank deliberately caused war, World War One, followed by a central banking caused collapse of the financial system, the bank collapse of 1929 and the “Great Depression” which brought on eventual bankruptcy of the United States in 1933 and a recovery made possible by more central banker caused war — World War Two.
It is beyond the scope of this article to discuss those periods, but please indulge me by hearing my point. We are again in a roaring period between what I believe will be two deliberately caused social upheavals that, through a ‘mirror darkly,’ will affect the world in the same way as 100 years ago.
We are now past the “COVID-19 vaccine scam” of 2020 — with its insane lockdowns and deliberate fear-mongering. Revelations expose the crimes, and optimism is high that those responsible will be tried and punished. With the end of COVID and the results of the Trump election, the nation seems euphoric and ready to again regain its former standing as a nation of law, with low corruption and financially sound currency under a Constitution that limits government intrusion into the life, liberty, and happiness of the people.
I will continue to argue that we are again facing a roaring twenties, and without significant change — especially the repeal and removal of central banking, history will repeat itself.
The tide of our economic stability is rapidly receding, revealing an austere financial landscape burdened by unsustainable debt and an overextended monetary system. As the United States grapples with the ramifications of an ever-bloating national debt—a dangerous harbinger of potential fiscal collapse—it is more crucial than ever to understand the importance of tangible assets in protecting wealth.
Today, the writing on the wall becomes more apparent as we witness the unyielding rise of the US 10-year Bond Yield, now at 4.357%. This ominous uptick stands as a testament to our economy’s unsustainable trajectory. In response, Federal Reserve efforts to temper interest rates through asset purchases have offered but a temporary balm as fiscal wounds continue to gape. The Bond market is poised for cataclysmic collapse—the coming liquidity crisis will stun the people.
As we navigate the fluctuating markets, precious metals starkly contrast the volatility seen elsewhere. Gold, currently trading at $2637.9 per ounce, solidifies its reputation as a bulwark against fiscal instability. Silver, priced at $30.7485, underscores its unique coupling of safe-haven demand with industrial utility, creating a robust investment profile.
The monetary metals are at fire sale prices, given that their value will soon be all that retains previous portable wealth.
The 85.79 gold-to-silver ratio (g/s) shouts, “Sell your gold and buy silver NOW,” but only in a language few understand. It is my personal opinion that silver is the giant beach ball held deep below sea level, waiting to be released—possibly the world’s most undervalued financial asset.
The dive in the dollar’s purchasing power is inevitable as both the money supply and the velocity of money increase simultaneously. This suggests an acceleration of money exchange hands, a harbinger of inflation indicative of decreased purchasing power for the average citizen, and an ominous sign of the dollar’s longevity. We are still waiting for the completed October data to bring you details, but it is easy to see that money is pouring into this system with the current rise in the stock market. While all of this euphoria is dumping into the stock market, the bond market continues to fall, resulting in higher yields. This situation portends a very bad ending for bonds and all dollar-denominated assets.
In this landscape of hidden fiscal icebergs, we must ask—can we trust the paper currency that seems to drift further from reality with each fiscal quarter? The US debt market’s expansion, coupled with a supposed necessity for exponentially increasing borrowing to service this debt, hints strongly that we could witness the final act of the dollar-based debt currency.
It’s essential to view this in the context of other key commodities. Platinum and palladium, priced at $971.59 and $986.119, are not just luxuries but essentials in numerous industrial applications, bolsters their attractiveness as investment vehicles. Copper, sitting at $4.2705, continues to serve as an economic barometer, suggesting resilience in some sectors despite broader concerns.
Alternative assets, too, demonstrate the evolving landscape. Bitcoin, at $81952.86, continues to gain traction as a digital asset unfettered by the confines of traditional financial systems. Despite the volatility inherent in cryptocurrencies, the market cap growth signals a growing disenchantment with conventional monetary policy and an appetite for decentralized value versions.
Beyond precious metals and digital currencies, we glimpse the ongoing dynamics across the commodities market with crude oil at $68.64 and propane, a standard heating and industrial fuel, at $0.57 (Mont Belvieu LDH Propane OPIS). These oil and gas prices are significant in forecasting economic health and consumer costs.
Let us turn our eyes to political influence—a force often upturns the market’s applecart. Despite the facade of free markets, US and Western economies are subject to intense manipulation. These distortions enshroud the real value of assets and cast long shadows over wealth preservation strategies. Such interventionist policies erode trust in paper-based money systems and redirect insightful investors toward tangible assets.
As we strive to foresee and mitigate the impacts of potential monetary collapse, I continue to endorse physical gold and silver ownership. Pre-1964 coins remain an excellent means to insulate oneself from currency debasement. Their historical value and wide recognition make them a prudent choice for wealth preservation.
As for readiness in the face of a US debt market collapse, prudent measures extend beyond investing. It implies a survivalist foresight—stockpiling necessities, understanding basic survival skills, and fostering strong community relations can build resilience against economic shocks. In anticipation of a liquidity crisis, establishing a supply of essential goods can provide a semblance of stability amid chaos.
The call to action is clear: Diversify into assets set apart from the volatile and manipulated whims of the financial markets. Seek solace in the enduring value of precious metals and prepare for a paradigm shift from paper to tangible wealth. The time to act is now, fortifying ourselves and our communities against an ebbing economic tide threatening to sweep away the unprepared.
In conclusion, the current climate presents more than challenges; it offers opportunities for those with foresight to reposition their assets and prepare for an era where gold, silver, and other solid investments emerge as the new standard in wealth preservation. We heed the prevailing winds and steer our course toward safer financial shores.
