Gold or Silver? Hedging Against Inflation
Inflationary price increases are not coming. They’re already here. The Fed wants you to believe that we are still experiencing falling prices, but the Fed also wants to tell you that food (commodities) and energy don’t count. The Fed is lying to you.
1. Precious metals. 2. Energy. 3. Commodities. As the dollar’s downward slide escalates, not only will these investments run with inflation, they will actually outpace it. Why? The failure of a currency incites panic, and such conditions universally mean that terrified investors will run to safety, causing a dramatic overshoot of intrinsic value. Another no-brainer hedge against inflation is shorting U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. debt load is astronomical; even a complete about-face by the politicians in Washington (which will never happen) couldn’t save the U.S. government from imminent default. If you click the image above, you’ll see a video clip showing the relative technical positions of gold and silver right now. It might give you some idea which will provide the best short-term strategy for the coming collapse. Either way, though, your best bet is against the dollar. Nearly a century of fiscal irresponsibility looms before us. It’s time to pay. www.PacoAhlgren.com Disclosures: Paco is long gold and oil, and short Treasuries — all through leveraged ETFs.
