World Gold Council’s Gold Investor, Third Edition

The third issue of the World Gold Council’s 2013 Gold Investor was released today. The newsletter covers the latest news and research from the WGC, including an interesting examination of the seven primary factors that influence gold’s performance and place in a portfolio.

“To some investors, gold seems arcane: a non-productive asset that is simply extracted and stored. To many others, gold plays an important role as a store of wealth and portfolio risk management vehicle. To most, a key challenge is finding an appropriate framework of reference: what gold does, what it does not do, how and why it responds to various economic environments.”

QE Is a Euphemism for Inflation (Video)

Last night, Peter Schiff appeared on CNBC’s The Kudlow Report to debate the reality of US inflation.

“When the Fed monetized three trillion dollars worth of mortgages and Treasuries, by definition that is inflation. Quantitative easing is just a euphemism for inflation. We’re talking about the effect of inflation when we talk about rising prices. We already have rising real estate prices, we have rising stock prices. Inflation has caused that. But I believe consumer prices are also rising much faster than government admits.”

Buy Gold Low to Prepare for the Real Crisis (Video)

In his latest interview with Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog, Peter Schiff explains the turnaround in gold prices and what investors should be prepared for in the future.

“[Gold] is really setting up for a huge reversal, because once the technicals turn around and the momentum goes back to the upside…the gold [that speculators] sold on the way down isn’t going to be available on the way up… The people who own it aren’t going to sell it at any price, because they didn’t buy it to trade out of it. They bought it to own it, to keep it. So this is going to be a big problem for the shorts, and even people who want to re-establish longs, because I think most of the people who want to get back into the market are going to get back in a lot higher than people got out.”

US Is Destroying Its Middle Class (Video)

In an excerpt from his radio show on Wednesday, Peter Schiff looks at the latest international data on median household incomes. It may surprise you that America is not anywhere close to #1, despite being known as the land of prosperity and opportunity.

“[Obama’s] got a new concept, ‘the middle out’. He wants to grow the economy from the middle class out… This is the economic cart before the horse. We don’t have a strong economy because we have a strong middle class; we have a strong middle class because we have a strong economy… The reason the middle class is shrinking is because you destroyed the incentives for people to create wealth and to employ people. It’s because of the policies that were targeted at the so-called rich. That’s why the middle class is disappearing.”

Jim Rickards: The Fed Is Just Wrong About Recovery (Audio)

Enjoy this excellent audio interview with Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars, on the Korelin Economics Report. Rickards dissects the Fed’s forecasting record and explains why quantitative easing is destroying the economy.

“The Fed’s forecasting record has been abysmal. The Fed has been wrong four out of the last four years in terms of their growth projections… They’ve been wrong by a lot. Sometimes they project 3 1/2 to 4% growth and it comes in around 2%. Sometimes they lower the forecast to 3% and it comes in at 1.5%. So you shouldn’t put any stock in the Fed’s forecast at all. In fact, as a guide, you should kind of assume the opposite or at least a lot worse than what the Fed is saying. You have to look at the fundamental economy, [which] is in terrible shape.”
