The Final Act in a Terrible Play<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

If you don\u2019t follow me on Twitter, you\u2019ve been missing out on some good stuff. With the brith of our third child a couple of months ago, it\u2019s been increasingly hard for me to find the time to sit down and write longer posts, so I\u2019ve been putting more and more content on Twitter. Last Friday, Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, asked me to provide additional thoughts on my recent turn to being far more bullish gold. Normally I would\u2019ve written it in a piece, but being pressed for time I put together a Twitter thread<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1\/ Earlier, my friend @<\/span>SantiagoAuFund<\/span><\/a> asked me to expound on gold. I was a bit surprised by the interest the tweet generated, so I’ve decided to\u00a0compose a thread on the topic and financial markets generally. There’s a lot coming, so apologies to those with no interest.<\/p>\n

There are 32 posts in there and I suggest you read the whole thing. More important than the thread itself; however, was the unprecedented and totally surprising response I received. As I explain in the tweets, I intentionally avoided talking about markets for nearly half a decade for a variety of reasons, and so I was blindsided by the enthusiastic and exceptionally positive response. It led me to do quite a bit of soul-searching, and ultimately convinced me that the time is ripe for me to start commenting about financial markets again. Not only because I think we\u2019re at or very close to a major inflection point, but because people want to hear it.<\/p>\n

For the record, I didn\u2019t think central planners would be able to put Humpty Dumpty\u00a0back together again ten years ago for as long as they did.<\/p>\n
