Things That Make Me Go Hmmm: Inflation, Crypto, Command Economies and Gold.<\/a><\/h3>\n

\n

Over the years I\u2019ve written almost ad nauseum about the crazy I see (and saw) around me as a fund manager, family office principal and individual investor.<\/p>\n

The list includes: 1) an\u00a0entire book<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the grotesque central bank distortions of free market price discovery, 2) the open (and now accepted) dishonesty on everything from\u00a0front-running Musk tweets<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0bogus<\/strong>\u00a0inflation reporting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0COMEX price fixing<\/strong><\/a>, 3) the insanity of 100-Year Austrian bonds or just plain\u00a0negative-yielding<\/em>\u00a0bonds going mainstream, 4) the open death of classic capitalism and the\u00a0rise of economic feudalism<\/strong><\/a>, 5) asset bubble hysteria seen in everything from\u00a0BTC to Tesla<\/strong><\/a>; 5) rising\u00a0social unrest<\/strong>,<\/a>\u00a06) the serious implications of\u00a0Yield Curve Control<\/strong><\/a>and the gross mispricing of debt that has midwifed the greatest credit binge\/bubble in recorded history, and 7) the ignored\u00a0power of logical delusion<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that so characterizes the\u00a0madness of crowds<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the current investment era.<\/p>\n

In short, there a great deal of things which, as our advisory colleague,\u00a0Grant Williams<\/strong><\/a>, would say:\u00a0Makes me go hmmm<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of exceptional team advisors at Matterhorn Asset Management,\u00a0Ronni Stoeferle<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0recently had a\u00a0compelling<\/strong>\u00a0discussion<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with the equally brilliant, and hitherto\u00a0deflationary<\/em>\u00a0thinker, Russell Napier.<\/p>\n

Among the many compelling take-aways from that discussion is the fact that Mr. Napier is now turning\u00a0inflationary<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ll see below, this broader and structural inflationary pivot, now undeniably on the horizon, has massive (and positive) implications not only for precious metal ownership, but also the very structure of the financial world going forward (negative).<\/p>\n

In short, the inflation topic is not just an academic topic nor fodder for podcasters and economic tenure-seekers\u2014it\u2019s a critical signal of the repressive financial world staring us straight in the eyes today and heading toward ever-more financial repressions tomorrow.<\/p>\n
