Greg,

In yesterday’s live webinar, when you were talking about the D-Day landings, you said that the Germans had no idea that the invasion was coming. An interesting fact that was released many years later was that MI5 used a double agent to notify the Germans where and when the landings would take place.

One of the main concerns of the allies…[Read more]

I made the attached chart and posted it on Twitter back on April 1st. Then forgot about it.

The recent video on crypto scams was timely. Some commenters thought you were saying that cryptocurrencies themselves were scams: it helps to be really clear. My experience with YouTube is that viewers don’t pay close attention to what is being said and/or have very low comprehension ability, so if there is any way to misunderstand what you are…[Read more]

I enjoyed the video on US dollar collapse, but wanted to make a longer comment than would fit on YT.

When talking about the value of a currency, it is important to distinguish between its value relative to other currencies, i.e. the exchange rate, and its purchasing power. I think it unlikely that the USD will fall against other currencies, since…[Read more]

There is an interesting interview on last week’s Macro Voices. Jeff Snider talks about the Eurodollar system, which he claims is much more than just a quantity of USD held in foreign banks but an entire shadow money system that operates as a global reserve currency.

It is available on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVzKdqjtyhw?t=932 (I…[Read more]

Reports are that someone recently purchased $100 million worth of BTC: possibly a fund.

For those who would like exposure to cryptos without the fiddly aspects of managing wallets and keys, one option is to buy shares in cryptomining companies such as HIVE Blockchain Technologies (HIVE.TSXV). This company mines coins using a dedicated site in…[Read more]

If, as many commentators are saying, there is a significant recession some time in the next two years, here are what I guess will be the measures the central banks are likely to implement, in increasing order of desperation.

1. Reduce interest rates to zero. Most central banks already have rates near zero, so this will only be effective for the…[Read more]

An interesting video interview with Andrew Maguire. Andrew sets high store by the fact that the Basel agreement that governs bank capital and solvency requirements is about to change. From April 1st 2019, gold becomes a tier one asset, which means that it counts towards bank reserves at 100% of its market value. Previously, gold was a tier three…[Read more]

Greg, your comment in the recent webinar about Greece being allowed to join the euro currency despite not meeting the criteria reminded of something I read nearly 15  years ago. It was in the Financial Times, I don’t remember the exact year, about 2004-6, and it was an interview between an FT journalist and an EU official. The journalist…[Read more]

I have a question about the pricing of gold that I hope our Illuminati masters might be able to shed light upon. The short version of the question is: why do we always think of gold as priced in USD? The longer version is as follows…

It is often said that “gold is priced in dollars” and that the price of gold varies inversely with the value of…[Read more]

Although it is fairly common to hear gold being recommended as a safe-haven asset, or as something to have in the event of a financial collapse, there is an interesting segment in the interview linked below about gold as an investment. The interview features Jeff Christian who is the head of a financial research company that specialises in natural…[Read more]

Here are some other YouTube channels that have useful information relating to gold and silver, but are not just platforms for pumpers.

Belangp – Only posts occasionally, but his videos contain highly original and insightful analysis.

Kitko News – Lots of short interview pieces with industry figures. Plus, Daniela often wears a mini-skirt and…[Read more]
