Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg, exchange thoughts on the latest market and gold developments with Ronni Stoeferle. The discussion opens with a nod toward generational thinking, and hence generational wealth preservation.

The global travelling circus is now reaching ever more nations just as expected. This is right on cue at the end of the most extraordinary financial bubble era in history. It is obviously debt creation, money printing and the resulting currency debasement which creates the inevitable fall of yet...

Therefore today is not the time for greed, hoping that markets will grow to the sky. Instead, now is the time for wealth preservation and protecting what you have. Otherwise, wealth which has been acquired over several decades could easily evaporate in the next few years.

In this video, Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg, discuss a range of current yet undeniably important as well as converging themes. This, of course, includes the significance of the most recent “Lehman moment” at Credit Suisse in the backdrop of falling markets, imploding currencies, steady...

Before the deflationary implosion, the world will experience the most epic money printing and debt creating bonanza in history. That will mark the last desperate attempt by central banks and governments to solve a debt problem with more worthless debt.

In this brief interview with Wall Street Silver, Egon von Greyerz discusses US and global markets, precious metal pricing and the inevitable rise in hard assets as global economies and currencies soften in a backdrop of rising rate insanity and increasing risk.

All sectors of the economy, individuals, companies, banks, local governments etc will be in need of financial support of a magnitude never before seen in history. But remember that what governments and central banks are doing will add ZERO intrinsic value to the economy. Instead they are creatin...

Egon von Greyerz says massive money printing and huge amounts of unpayable debt will lead to a monster financial meltdown soon. The era of Shangri-la and money printing and saving the world by fake money—that era is totally gone.

Fool’s Gold comes in many guises, whether it is in fake paper money, Ponzi investment schemes, fake and manipulated gold derivatives, Bitcoin or just fake gold discoveries in Uganda, all of which are discussed in this article.

The massive money creation in the 2000s has led to a debt and asset bubble, which is about to burst. Investors will be shocked by the speed of the decline and won’t react before it is too late. The massive money creation by central and commercial banks in this century has resulted in a growth of...

With most asset classes falling rapidly, the world is now approaching calamities of a proportion not seen before in history. What few investors realise is that this is the mere beginning. Before this bear market is over, the world will see 75-90% falls of stocks, bonds and other assets. For the f...

Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg, swap thoughts on the bearish decline of U.S. risk assets along side an equally painful rise in inflationary forces.

This article will discuss if investors in coming years really have more than the Hobson’s choice of one. Gold has been one of the top performing asset classes in this century and still nobody owns it with only 0.5% of world financial assets invested in gold.

Gold is as cheap today relative to US money supply as in 1971 when the price was $35 and in 2000 when gold was $290.

As the USD and UST emerges as less of safe-haven and de-dollarization accelerates, gold will re-emerge as the more trusted asset and a greater allocation in future portfolios.

Investors who ignore the importance of gold will see their paper assets decline by up to 98% in real terms.

How the future global monetary system will be designed is still completely open. Will centralized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) set the tone, or will the money supply be (partially) privatized as private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are used as a means of payment in everyday life? What...

In a crisis of this magnitude, I would stay away from paper assets including ETFs of any kind. It is clearly imperative to have physical metals stored outside the financial system. And remember not to measure your wealth or your gold in worthless paper money. Instead measure your gold and silver...

In a free market, without manipulation, such a strong demand for money would have raised the cost of borrowing to the levels in 1980-81 i.e. near 20%. Instead, the Fed Wizards are performing their hocus pocus with fake money and fake rates. Without their Wizardry, it would have been impossible fo...

The market and investors are addicted to cheap credit and its absence will lead to collapse. That said, long-term interest rates have probably seen their low, bond price declines and much more money creation are the likely result. The broad stock market, with exceptions, will not be a good invest...
