Gold recently rallied 3.5% in one day, the biggest surge in years.

Inflation concerns continue to haunt the market, and the U.S. dollar is getting slammed. The stock market is sinking, and the Dow Jones recently tumbled to its lowest level since September 2006. Higher oil prices haven’t helped, either.

The fact is, over two-thirds of the population are now experiencing inflation rates over 10% — and the pain looks set to get worse.

While inflation heads higher, the economy is slowing down. This is feeding the 1970s “stagflation” fears that put the Fed (and other central banks) in a very tough spot. Raising rates too much threatens to push a weak economy over the brink. Lowering rates to help the weak economy stokes inflation. And either way, the price of basic goods the world needs (e.g., food and fuel) will continue to rise.

One message rings loud and clear in all this: You want to own gold. Readers of the Taipan newsletter have been given multiple ways to do just that, with various gold asset buying strategies ranging from the highly conservative to the highly aggressive.
