@frankoz95967943 I've always maintained, against the Austrian narrative that gold is not a hedge so much on inflation or inflation expectations as it is on a private debt induced financial crisis. It's only the calamity that will drive it to significant new highs like 3500 to 4000 oz
@TuckerCarlson Issue is not debt. It's abt a balanced economy where debt is channeled proportionately into productive assets and equipment to drive productivity and output. Instead we have ponzi lending into non productive assets like house that produce 0 once built and margin debt for Wall st
Recent annualized inflation figures:
June 3.0%
July 3.2%
Aug 3.7%
Sept 3.7%
Oct 3.2%
This is what real people actually pay, not the "core" or "super core" made up by economists. Hold the applause. Doesn't look like 2% to me.
Dale Schroeder, a unassuming and hardworking man from Iowa, led a simple life as a carpenter, dedicating 67 years to the same company. His upbringing in poverty and the absence of a family of his own never deterred his commitment to his work or his humility.
His friend, Steve Nielsen, painted a picture of Schroeder as the quintessential blue-collar worker, someone who labored diligently every day, lived modestly, and epitomized the values of the people in Iowa.
Schroeder’s unpretentious lifestyle hid an extraordinary secret. When he passed away in 2005, the extent of his wealth astounded those who knew him. As Nielsen mentioned, Schroeder didn’t possess fancy clothes; he had two types: church jeans and work jeans.
Before his passing, Schroeder had a plan for his savings. He approached his lawyer and expressed his heartfelt desire to support students in pursuing a college education. His wish wasn't just to help a few kids—he wanted to make a significant impact.
"Dale never had the chance to attend college himself. He wanted to give kids that opportunity," Nielsen shared. Remarkably, Schroeder’s savings weren’t just enough to send a handful of students to college; his foresight and frugality amassed a fortune substantial enough to finance the college education of 33 young individuals.
In a touching and generous act, Dale Schroeder's legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched and transformed by enabling their pursuit of higher education.
Is the bottom in on Zros @PaulGambles2? I keep looking at this thinking upside v potential downside with a 2 year investment window. Am I missing something?
@PhinessInc Has to be a great buying opportunity -
in a balanced portfolio it's exceptionally low-cost insurance in an expensive market
In a tilted portfolio, it's the best priced reward to risk of any capital market asset IMO...
