The Bond Bubble Will Pop. I Just Don`t Know When

We have a bubble forming in bonds. I do not know if it is going to pop this year or in 2012. I have no idea, but it is at worrisome levels. And I do not know how much longer you can keep promoting a bubble like that. The central bank in the US is doing it...eventually no matter how good a bubble looks, it pops and when it pops, people sell their bonds and that is going to happen. I just do not know when.

Get inside information from the president and you will probably lose half your money. If you get it from the chairman of the board, you will lose all of your money.

75 Percent Of High-End Money Managers Have Never Owned Gold

A months ago when speaking to a room full of high-end money managers, they were asked how many of them owned gold. Seventy-five per cent of the people had never owned gold, or silver. So you can see most people still do not own gold. For most people in the world gold is still an unknown entity.

Gold Prices Outlook

The US has been giving the signal that it is going to print more money and Japan has recently said they are going to print more money - what is happening is that money printing is starting again and the market knows it.

A bubble will form one day for gold but it won't be any time soon. Seventy-five per cent of the people had never owned gold, or silver. So you can see most people still do not own gold. For most people in the world gold is still an unknown entity.

During gold's hysterical phase, in 5 to 7 years, everyone will be buying the yellow metal.

It is not the way people are supposed to invest but they see something moving and they all want to jump on. The gold bull market has a long way to go, all commodities have a long way to go - in the end we will end up with a hysterical bubble, at which point I hope I am smart enough to sell, but that is years away.

The United States Are The Largest Debtor In The History of The World

United States is now the largest debtor nation not in the world, in the history of the world...no country has ever run up so much debt as we have in the US.

This is not just a problem for our children and grand children, this is a problem for you for me and our parents, you know this is a problem that is hitting all of us in the face right now.

Those guys in Washington just worry about the next election, they worry to make sure they will stick around, they do not care about you, they do not care about me, they care about getting their next pay check and not whether the country survives.

When You Destroy The Saving Class, You Destroy The Future Of Your Country

You have to have people who save and invest to have a thriving economy. In Washington, they’re destroying the saving class. People who save money and have done the right thing for the past ten years are suddenly being smashed because they get zero interest on their savings. When you destroy the saving class, you destroy the future of your country.

The Gold Bull Market Of The 70`s

In the 1970s, gold was going up for some very sound supply and demand reasons. As the gold bull market gathered strength, it pulled in everybody so that in the last year or two it tripled. Just like the Nasdaq in 1998 and 1999. Everybody was shrieking that gold always has been, always will be an inflation hedge. Just like in 1998 when people were saying "the dot-com, new-economy revolution will go on forever."

But again, just like the dot-commers, the gold bugs hadn`t read their history. We have had new economies and new eras every 30 or 40 years for the past 500 years all over the world. If anybody had gone backto look at gold, they would have seen some very long periods where it has done nothing, and long periods where it has actually gone down during inflationary periods.

Trying To Push The Problem Out To The Future, And Printing Money Will Not Work

In America, Bernanke just says we'll print more money, we'll spend more money, even though the United States is now the largest debtor nation in the history of the world.

The things that have worked in the past... will be you go bankrupt then you re-organize and you start over. You have a painful period for awhile, and then you start over. This has been done in the past 3-4 thousand years, and that's the way you do it.

Trying to push the problem out to the future, and printing money, we just had another example here in the US, it didn't work and it's not going to work.

Very Few People Own Gold

Gold, if you adjust the old time high back in 1980, gold should be near 2,000 dollars per ounce right now. You can hardly call something that is very depressed a bubble.

It will probably be a bubble someday, I fully expect that there will be hysteria in the precious metals markets in 5 or 10 years, who knows when. But right now, very few people own gold, and I can hardly call something a bubble when very few people own it.
