Egon- Gold adjusted to Inflation
Egon chalanges FED:
Egon:
“To test the value of the printed money, I suggest that the Fed prints $9.5 trillion and buys all the gold in the world, including jewellery, of 170,000 tonnes at the current price of $55.6 million per tonne. If they don’t understand what will happen, I can tell them. They would have real problems getting hold of 1 tonne of physical gold at that price. By the time they buy the second tonne, the market will value the dollar at its intrinsic value of ZERO and gold measured in worthless dollars will go to infinity. ”
“With massive pressure in the physical market where both the LBMA bullion banks and Comex are unable to meet their obligations to deliver physical gold, it is only a matter of time before gold breaks out properly. I don’t like making sensational forecasts of the gold price since that attracts the wrong buyers. Still 10x today’s price or $17,000 is certainly realistic with just normal inflation. The attached chart by goldchartsrus confirms that level. Gold adjusted for real inflation would be at $18,100 to be equal to the 1980 top of $850.”
Apart from the 1980 spike.. looks like we have been deflating forever!
Patrick can you replecate the gold inflation chart. Just to see if this chart is correct.
They can have mine for $17,000 an ounce 🙂
I will be happy w $10000
Another request, Patrick can you please chart:
Consumer Price Index % Change -overlaid- on Gold Price % Change, using a LOG chart, back to 1970.
TIA
Sorry, for this I meant to say using a LINEAR chart.
I don’t know. At this stage, perhaps gold should be considered priceless.
Would you rather have an ounce of gold or a football field full of nearly worthless paper money?
Everyone says don’t fight the Fed, but perhaps we should all be fighting against them in earnest? There is strength in numbers.
Don’t play their game. Come up with a game plan to get out of fiat money before it becomes essentially worthless.
Time is not here yet. How to tell that tie has arrvied: Permanent backwardation on COMEX. That will happen at much higher gold price: much higher.
