Gold Standard by 2014? - Price Inflation Worldwide - Paper Gold vs Physical Gold - Gold & Silver Up - DOW down a bit at opening.
Price inflation is rampant throughout the world and is causing great unrest. We are experiencing more rioting against governments which are in trouble and taking austerity measures. There is true suffering out there. The only thing that has really saved us in America, for the most part, is the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. Some day, it will not be the sole reserve currency for the world, and we are now seeing signs of resentment for this status of the dollar.
The world seems to knows the difference between hedging in paper gold vs physical gold. Hedging using derivatives involves a counter party; that is, a party with very deep pockets on the other side of the trade. Holding physical gold has no counter party. The counter parties are in many cases playing an immoral game with the holders of paper metals. Though not strictly illegal, the actions are a type of fraud. The world knows this; therefore, many of the institutions, foreign investors, and central banks are turning to physical gold and to a lessor extent silver to avoid the counter party risks. This is important to understand. Thus, we are experiencing a greater demand for the physical metals..
While there are struggles for us and the world, we can rest securely in the fact that there is nothing in the world or in the Heavens which can separate God's people from His love and care. Though we go through challenges, we know that these are for our eventual benefit to help us to grow and become more Christ like. Praise Him daily for the day He has given us and for His work in our lives.
