USA Watchdog: Deep State Kicking and Screaming

Author of the popular book “The Trump Prophecies,” Mark Taylor says indictments of criminals and traitors in the U.S. government is going to cause some upheaval and violence when the release of FBI and DOJ documents show they tried to frame President Trump for a crime he did not do. 

Taylor explains, 

“That is the start of it. That is the shot that starts the race right there, and people better be prepared. The civil unrest is going to take place initially. 

I don’t believe it will be from the people, but from the paid agitators from the DNC and George Soros. 

Eventually, it may lead into something larger once they start the mass arrests, but there are protection mechanisms in place. The Deep State is kicking and screaming.”

World's Three Largest & Lowest Cost Primary Silver Miners Not Doing Very Well?

Gold Has Been Behaving Strangely, Here’s Why

There have been very "strange goings-on in the space" lately, says David Erfle.

Lately, gold has been "sticky" upwards, shrugging off dollar declines but has dropped dramatically whenever the dollar rises even a little bit. "The tariff news is pretty much priced in. 

We've got Powell coming up speaking next Wednesday and we know he's going to raise, but we don't know if he will hint that they might not raise in December," Erfle told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek.

Right Now is Absolutely the Best Time to be Investing in Gold and Silver

U.S. Economy Not As Strong As Reported; Gold To Rise

The U.S. economy appeared to be healthier this year than it actually is, thanks to a few isolated economic events, said Samuel Pelaez, CIO of Galileo Global Equity Advisors. 

“The last GDP we had was Q2 and that was phenomenal, but we had the tailwind of the lowering of the corporate tax rates. 

That was a one-time event, I mean, it’s probably going to last a few quarters but we’re not going to see that next year. 

So I think there have been one-off situations that have helped the U.S. economy look more healthy this year than it actually is,” Pelaez told Kitco News on the sidelines of the 2018 Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek. 

On gold, Pelaez added that even at current interest rate levels, real rates are still negative, and that should provide a boost for gold.

Don’t Let Today’s Rally Fool You, Markets Are Still Short

The markets in general, are still extremely short on silver and gold, despite today’s rally in gold prices, said Peter Hug, director of global trading at Kitco Metals. 

“It’s not going to take a lot from a catalyst perspective to create a short-covering rally,” Hug told Kitco News. 

On the gold-silver ratio hitting 85, a 25-year high, Hug noted that silver is getting hit from both a general weakness in gold, but also global slowdown in industrial demand.

Don't Call Rich Dad's Kiyosaki A Gold Investor: It's Much More Than That

Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of the New York Times bestseller "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," does not consider gold an “investment,” but rather, the only form of currency he considers “real.” 

His new book, "FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets," due for release in April, 2019, documents the difference between real and fake assets, and he likens gold to “God’s money,” a tribute to the yellow metal’s origins as a naturally occurring element. 

“Long after you and I are gone and all that’s left is God, I promise you, the dollar will not be here, the yen will not be here, the euro will not be here…

I doubt crypto will be here if everything else is gone, but anyway, I’d rather have God’s money than man’s money,” Kiyosaki told Kitco News. Kiyosaki noted that there is no scenario in which he would abandon his holdings on gold. 

“I’m not an investor in gold. I hold gold. Gold is real money. Gold is God’s money. Gold is foundational money,” he said. On cryptocurrencies, the best-selling author said that while bitcoin may not last forever, blockchain could still be around. 

“Blockchain is going after the dollar, fiat currency. The real threat to fiat currency is blockchain,” he said. Kiyosaki added that blockchain investors should be as knowledgeable as possible before buying cryptocurrencies, as they should with any other asset.
