Which ‘Flation Will Win - Inflation or Deflation?

The battle between the two ‘flations - inflation and deflation - is far from over says Adrian Ash in The Bullion Vault. Private investors fearing collateral damage might want to take cover. Gold bought near $800 an ounce might just provide some kind or armor…

Unchanged Fundamentals Make Gold a Great Bargain Now

Investors have turned against gold in the last month, sending the price of the shiny metal tumbling over 20%. But Adrian Ash in the Rude Awakening says the market fundamentals have not changed. Too much debt and inflation threaten to destroy the value of paper wealth. But gold bars are a tangible asset, and cannot be created at will.

How the Fed Killed the Dollar and Set Gold Climbing

Since the days of Alan Greenspan, the Fed has been so petrified of a slowdown it has practically killed the value and stability of the dollar, says Adrian Ash in Whiskey and Gunpowder.

But by keeping interest rates below the rate of inflation for three straight years starting in 2002, the Fed created a bubble in the housing market. That bubble has now popped, leaving in its wake a severe liquidity crisis.

Now big banks won’t lend without the backing of government bonds, and the Fed continues to inflate money supply. All good news for gold, says Adrian…

We’re Nowhere Near the Bottom Says Alan Greenspan

So Alan Greenspan - former chairman of the Federal Reserve - thinks this equals the Great Crash, if not out-bads it.

India’s Gold Demand: A Panic for Gold?

Why You Should Own Physical Gold

After 25 years of booming asset markets, it’s getting hard to keep hold of your money, let alone grow it, says The Bullion Vault’s Adrian Ash. But if you want to steal a march, consider moving a portion of your wealth into physical gold today. Adrian says that “as long as the cost of living is rising but asset-prices are falling, that should prove a major advantage over holding bonds, stocks or cash.”

U.S. Equity Buyers Just Suffered a ‘Decade of No Returns’

For the ten years to last week the S&P 500 - widely considered the benchmark for U.S. stock performance - delivered less than zero gains, says Adrian Ash in Whiskey and Gunpowder. That’s even after accounting for dividends (good) as well as inflation (bad). Stocks won’t become a good income-paying asset class unless earnings rise sharply or inflation falls. Neither are likely in the short term…

Gold Price Dip

After its run past $1,000 an ounce in March, gold has been dropping. So are we going through a price dip? A market correction? Or is it simply too late for investors to play the gold bull rush.
