this guy must be a good lier trying to sell that crap or a true idiot. How can you compare the 80's til 2002 to the last 10 years? 30 years go our debt was minimal compared to today. The debt was mostly owned by americans. Now its MONEY PRINTING QE'S out of the ass, globaly and investment demand is now globaly for gold and silver or all commodities. That guy is an absolut lying scumbag. Who ever lissens to that fuk tard deserves what they going to get.

The dollar is in a massive bubble. The rise in gold is just the canary in the coal mine. Btw, almost no one bought gold at $850 in 1980. It was only there for a few days after a parabolic spike.

In the total absence of doubt there is a presence of lies.

'we buy your gold' signs everywhere mean people are selling their gold - the opposite of a bubble. 1% of global assets are currently invested in gold . at the top of the last 1980's 'bubble' the figure was 26% !!!!! long way to go i would say

Gold will be in a bubble someday but I don't think that time is now. I agree you see a lot of gold buying stores but when you look at the average Joe, not many have gold. For it to be a bubble everyone will be owning gold and I just don't see that now

@bweazel Inflation is high, in fact it's much higher than the government cares to reveal. Of course you wouldn't know that if you didn't look closely on what they are basing their numbers. But even 3,5% and more is a high number, even though it's closer to 7%. The dollar is collapsing and interest rates are way too low. That's why commodities are rising.

To compare the 1980 to today is comparing apples with oranges, since circumstances are completely different. You need to educate yourself more

[bweazel]

@TWSceptic It's not ridiculous, especially when you consider that gold is always pushed to people as a hedge against inflation, which if that is to hold true, it needs to be able to beat inflation from wherever you time it. What the timing they used should show any rational person is that gold is no longer a hedge against anything in our modern economy.

Yes, we can compare historical events to today, to say we can't is the only ridiculous thing here.

[TWSceptic]

What a stupid video. Of course if you compare the lowest to the highest point you can be disappointed with any investment. That's why you should know when to buy and when to sell. There is no bubble and we can't compare current time with 1980, that's ridiculous.
