Jim Rickards: Buy Gold, Not Stocks (Video)

Yesterday on CNBC, Jim Rickards had a short debate with Lee Munson about whether gold or stocks are a better buy right now. Like Peter Schiff, Rickards has faith in gold’s strong fundamentals and knows that gold has been and always will be inherently valuable as real money.

“Fundamentally, the case [for gold] hasn’t changed.

With a few months to go before the onset of the wedding season, when gold sales gain momentum, sales should be mostly stagnant now. ‘Some people are unaware of the dip in gold prices and the possibility of a further dip (which could lead them to postpone purchases). So, our sales have not been affected,’ said Ajay Bali, store manager of Tanishq, Gurgaon.”
