Rogue
economist,
John
Williams
of
Shadowstats.com
says
the
US
dollar
rally
is
a
fata
morgana,
a
rate
hike
bluff
by
Fed
policymakers.
The
2008
market
collapse
/
Great
Recession
never
ended;
the
Treasury
/
Fed
merely
sidestepped
financial
calamity
at
an
enormous
cost.
Ultimately,
the
FOMC
will
be
coerced
by
market
forces,
resulting
in
lower
rates
and
sizable
balance
sheets
via
toxic
debt
purchases.
Unbeknownst
to
most
citizens,
the
US
Fed's
is
a
private
protective
unit
for
the
banking
/
financial
elite.
Ever
since
1932,
whenever
the
growth
of
real
disposable
income
"takeoff
pay"
is
below
3
percent,
the
incumbent
Presidential
candidate
always
wins.
While
our
guest
has
high
hopes
for
the
new
Administration,
the
12
month
lead
time
between
stimulus
and
actual
results
could
disappoint
the
typical
American.
Our
guest
expects
the
Greenback
to
continue
decent
to
lower
lows,
resulting
in
hyperinflation.
Only
gold
/
silver
investments
will
thrive
under
the
end
game
he
outlines;
every
household
accumulate
several
months
of
canned
items
and
ample
cash
/
PMs.
Similar
to
the
New
Madrid
earthquake
stunned
the
Midwest
by
reversing
the
flow
of
the
Mississippi,
the
next
financial
crisis
will
offer
little
warning
time.
The
new
Administration
could
right
the
economic
titanic
in
part
by
reviving
the
40
page
Glass-Stegall
act
to
heal
the
financial
system.
Bix
Weir
makes
a
solid
case
for
a
1:1:1
gold
/
silver
/
Dow
ratio
due
to
unique
supply
/
demand
conditions.
Silver
deposits
pool
near
the
surface,
unlike
gold,
which
is
characterized
by
deep
mineral
veins
that
extend
miles
beneath
the
crust
of
the
earth.
Most
of
the
easy
to
find
silver
may
have
already
been
discovered.
Insatiable
industrial
demand
for
silver
as
illustrated
by
a
nearly
vertical,
inelastic
demand
curve.
Once
the
165
year
old
price
suppression
scheme
(Bix
Weir)
is
exposed,
little
if
any
silver
will
be
available
for
investment
/
currency
purposes.
Demand
is
also
heating
up
for
gold
as
a
currency
safe
haven;
the
price
spiked
to
$3,600
briefly
two
months
earlier
in
India.
Inevitably
a
PMs
backed
cryptocurrency,
similar
to
BitCoin
is
a
plausible
reserve
alternative.
With
the
impending
exit
of
Italy
from
the
EU,
Peter
Grandich
expects
the
EU
to
continue
to
unravel,
potentially
leading
to
the
dissolution
of
the
EU
experiment.
In
summary,
Peter
Grandich
finds
gold
/
silver
the
most
undervalued
investment
class,
worldwide.

About
Peter
Grandich
Managing
Member,
Grandich

With

formal

entered

being
among
the
very
few
who
not
only
forecasted
the
1987
stock
market
crash
just
weeks
before
it
happened,
but
on
the
very
next
day
he
predicted
that
within
a
year
the
market
would
reach
a
new
all-time
high
which
it
did.
Proving
his
1987
forecast
was
no
fluke,
Mr.
Grandich
said
in
January
2000
that
the
year
2000
will
go
down
as
the
year
the
great
mega
bull
market
of
the
80s
and
90s
came
to
an
end.
He
speaks
at
