Respected
rogue
economist,
John
Williams
of
Shadowstats.com
says
the
Great
Recession
of
2008-2009
is
still
underway,
contrary
to
the
mainline
media.
Although
the
official
national
unemployment
rate
is
steady
at
under
5%,
the
true
unemployment
rate
is
at
least
4
times
as
high
at
23%.
The
slight
of
hand
requires
an
epic
cover-up
on
a
grand
scale.
John
Williams
outlines
how
the
PTB
accomplished
the
feat
and
the
economic
implications.
Discouraged
workers
are
no
longer
counted
due
to
changes
in
the
unemployment
calculations
making
the
economy
in
worse
shape
than
reported.
When
the
true
inflation
rate
is
used
to
deflate
GDP
numbers,
the
US
has
been
in
an
unofficial
recession
for
16
consecutive
years.
Free
trade
has
positive
theoretical
economic
benefits,
but
deleterious
ramifications
for
many
high
quality
domestic
jobs.
Ultimately
the
economic
fallout
will
impact
the
Greenback,
which
will
collapse
sending
the
yellow
metal
to
at
least
$10,000
and
perhaps
many
fold
higher.
Case
in
point,
in
Venezuela
recent
reports
show
that
a
silver
coin
suddenly
buys
$250
worth
of
groceries.
Peter
Schiff,
Chairman
of
SchiffGold.com
discusses
the
Fed's
reaction
to
the
threat
of
higher
inflation.
With
a
quarter
point
rate
hike
expected
in
Dec
and
possibly
2
more
in
2017,
policymakers
are
concerned
that
prices
are
moving
up
to
quickly.
Inflation
is
typically
a
positive
for
the
PMs
markets,
e.g.,
the
1970's
inflation
/
PMs
rally.
Real
interest
rates
will
remain
negative,
constraining
the
US
dollar
and
encouraging
gold
/
silver
purchases.
Bond
bears
are
in
control
-
the
sector
could
crater
much
further,
requiring
sizable
QE
activity
by
the
Fed
to
contain
the
toxic
debt.
Dollar
bulls
may
find
themselves
trapped,
as
officials
are
forced
to
ramp
up
QE
and
lower
interest
rates.
If
bonds
continue
to
decline,
the
cost
of
financing
stock
buyback
related
debt
will
soar,
reducing
demand
for
US
shares
and
lowering
equities
prices.
The
liberated
funds
will
fuel
the
uptrend
in
the
$CRB
commodities
index
despite
the
dollar
breakout,
suggesting
that
PMs
could
soon
find
a
price
floor.
Additional
blowback
from
higher
rates
includes
the
potential
for
a
20%+
housing
price
decline,
as
homedebtors
struggle
to
make
payments.
Until
the
forward
looking
housing
starts
index
declines
abruptly,
the
uptrend
will
remain
intact.
The
election
shock
reaction
in
the
PMs
shares
may
be
overdone
presenting
opportunities
in
the
Euro
Pacific
Gold
fund,
EPGFX.
David
Morgan
a.k.a.
"The
Silver
Investor"
from
the
Morgan
Reportgives
a
detailed
overview
of
current
silver
market
conditions.
The
time
may
be
approaching
to
start
adding
to
core
silver
positions,
the
market
correction
may
soon
pass.
The
Silver
Investor's
#1
Rule
of
silver
investing,
when
all
else
fails
there's
silver,
for
instance,
in
the
aftermath
of
a
hurricane,
ATM
outages,
etc.
The
recent
addition
of
the
Yuan
to
the
IMF
reserve
SDR
could
be
a
game
changer
for
currency
hegemony
and
a
big
plus
for
precious
metals
investors.
Eventually,
David
morgan
expects
the
PTB
to
return
the
global
currency
system
to
de
facto
money
-
gold
and
silver.
A
widely
diversified
portfolio
including
a
solid
core
of
precious
metals
investors
is
advisable.
The
nascent
precious
metals
bull
market
remains
intact,
according
to
Peter
Grandich
of
Peter
Grandich
and
Company.
Although
policymakers
could
hike
rates
to
0.75-1.00%,
the
affect
will
be
minimal.
The
big
economic
wild
card
remains
loose
monetary
policy,
which
includes
negative
interest
rates,
forcing
investors
to
chase
stock
/
bond
market
yield.
