The Only Industry Where Over The Last Couple Of Months Where You Can Really Say The Fundamentals Have Dramatically Improved Is The Gold Mining Industry

These stocks represent a lot of value. I think we have a long away to go. (...) I think the only industry where over the last couple of months where you can really say the fundamentals have dramatically improved is the gold mining industry. During that time period the mining costs have come down yet the value of what they are mining has skyrocketed. These mining stocks are as cheap as they have ever been over the last 10 years as far as P/E basis.

These gold stocks have barely moved and nobody owns them.

No Ceiling For The Price Of Gold


Video description: Peter Schiff says gold is more than just another precious metal. According to the president of Euro Pacific Capital, gold is a thermometer for the economy. And with gold prices at a high of $1851 an ounce, the economy isn't getting any healthier.

"Gold going up every day is saying that the economy is sick. It's really, really sick," Schiff told RT. Yet, he added, world leaders are ignoring the surge in gold prices as if the increase wasn't telling them something.

As central banks continue to print money while currencies devalue day by day, Schiff said owning gold is a safe haven. Some say treasuries are a safe haven, but Schiff asks, "What is it a safe haven from?" Gold, he said, is an alternative to owning currencies like the US dollar, the euro and the yen, which he said are being created too quickly and in too much quantity.

"I keep hearing people on television saying people aren't buying gold because of inflation," saudSchiff. "Gold is a safe haven from inflation."

Schiff noted that many are still skeptical of buying into gold, citing widespread fear of a bubble ready to pop. He believes, however, that prices are only going to be higher. Schiff said he was right about this before and he is right about this now.

Schiff told RT that the only thing people have to worry about is the devalue of currencies, which continue to go down in value while gold only goes up. "It's not a bubble because gold is not going up," said Schiff. It's paper currency, according to him, that's just losing value. "Gold is simply letting you know that it's occurring."

"Most people would accept gold in exchange for goods," he said. "Gold is money; it's recognized around the world."

And according to Schiff, people need to realize it before it's too late.

Gold Is Going To Go Higher Because People Want Refuge

Well it’s going to continue, gold is going to go higher because people want refuge. In fact the other safe havens in the currency world, like the Swiss Franc or the Yen, the central banks there are trying to undermine their currencies.

I mean the Swiss are actually thinking about pegging their currency to the euro. One of the reasons people were buying the Swiss Franc was to get out of the euro. Now they are threatening to turn the Swiss Franc into the euro. So what’s the one asset that central banks can’t print? That’s gold and so gold is the last man standing and everybody is going to be piling into it. - in KWN

Reckless Policy Is Destroying The US Economy

This reckless policy, designed to facilitate government spending and appease Wall Street financiers, will continue to starve Main Street of the capital it needs to make real productivity-enhancing investments. American investment capital will continue to flow abroad, denying local business the means to expand and hire. It also destroys interest rates paid to holders of bank savings deposits which traditionally had been a financial pillar of retirees. In addition, such an inflationary policy drives real wages lower, robbing Americans of their purchasing power. The consequence is a dollar in free-fall, dragging down with it the standard of living of average Americans.

Until interest rates are allowed to rise to appropriate levels, more resources will be misallocated, additional jobs will be lost, government spending and deficits will continue to grow, the dollar will keep falling, consumer prices will keep rising, and the government will keep blaming our problems on external factors beyond its control. As the old adage goes, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Americans Borrow, Consume, And Speculate Too Much, While Save, Produce, And Invest Too Little

This week's wild actions on Wall Street should serve as a stark reminder that few investors have any clue as to what is really going on beneath the surface of America's troubled economy. But this week did bring startling clarity on at least one front. In its August policy statement the Federal Reserve took the highly unusual step of putting a specific time frame for the continuation of its near zero interest rate policy.

Moving past the previously uncertain pronouncements that they would "keep interest rates low for an extended period," the Fed now tells us that rates will not budge from rock bottom for at least two years. Although the markets rallied on the news (at least for a few minutes) in reality the policy will inflict untold harm on the U.S. economy. The move was so dangerous and misguided that three members of the Fed's Open Market Committee actually voted against it. This level of dissent within the Fed hasn't been seen for years.

Many economists have short-sightedly concluded that ultra low interest rates are a sure fire way to spur economic growth. The easier and cheaper it is to borrow, they argue, the more likely business and consumers are to spend. And because spending spurs growth, in their calculation, low rates are always good. But, as is typical, they have it backwards.

I believe that ultra-low interest rates are among the biggest impediments currently preventing genuine economic growth in the US economy. By committing to keep them near zero for the next two years, the Fed has actually lengthened the time Americans will now have to wait before a real recovery begins. Low rates are the root cause of the misallocation of resources that define the modern American economy. As a direct result, Americans borrow, consume, and speculate too much, while we save, produce, and invest too little.

The Tipping Point

The disastrous debt deal in Washington, the subsequent downgrading of U.S. credit, and continuing default fears on both sides of the Atlantic, are causing the kind of panic on Wall Street that we haven't seen since the dark days of 2008. As we arrive at what may be a tipping point in the global economy, it's important to look at what is really happening, recognize the financial consequences, and to take steps to insure that investment assets are positioned accordingly.

While the historic downgrade of U.S. debt is certainly a major event, the real story is the continued failure of the U.S. economy to recover from recession. From March 2009 to July 2011, the Dow Jones had surged more than 90% on the assumption that the economic crisis was a thing of the past. Euro Pacific Capital always argued otherwise. It is now dawning on investors and economists that the massive monetary stimulus only resulted in the illusion of health, while delivering in exchange a depreciated currency, crushing debt, and a moribund private sector. But this will not stop Washington from doing more damage with the same policies that hurt us in the first place. As a result, Americans looking for safety will not find it by holding cash. Any U.S. dollars currently stuffed into mattresses will, in a few years, likely be worth less than the mattresses themselves.

As may have been expected, the majority of investment professionals are reacting perversely to the crisis. On the day after the first ever downgrade was issued on American government debt, investors reacted by igniting one of the biggest rallies in the history of the treasury market. Such an illogical reaction suggests that investments of better value and fundamentals continue to be overlooked.

I see many places to find shelter from the growing economic storm. While media attention is focused on weakness in the Euro, other currencies are doing quite well against the dollar. Over the last 12 months, the Australian dollar is up 12.6%, and the Swiss franc is up 37%. I believe investments that produce reliable income denominated in these, and other, currencies offer meaningful protection from declines in the U.S. dollar. Assets such as non-dollar sovereign bonds, utilities, and real estate trusts all offer these traits. Gold, which I consider to be the only real money, is up 41% so far this year and today had its biggest one day gain in history. I believe that in the current environment exposure to precious metals offers the best way to preserve wealth.

But the real crisis is not, nor has it ever been, the debt ceiling. The crisis is the debt itself.
