Gold & Armageddon: Conclusion Part 3

by Dave on December 1, 2009

your mind to another point of view. And if u haven’t thought threw the other side of the gold/dollar collapse issue, then you’re probably not that conscious of your own position and most likely not as secure of your own position as you might think. How much do you know about what factors are affecting the gold price and the movement in the dollar? If you can only repeat, like a trained parrot, the same talking points that the same talking head repeat over and over on the media…then you …

all these videos say the exact same thing, if worst case comes gold will be hard to trade due to its high value.

why have like 10 videos saying the same thing with no additional data.

Yeah I’m not too keen on gold. It costs too much to use in old style trade.
A gold sovereign would buy a months shopping.
Silver coins seem a lot easier to use for trade as its worth a lot less.

Good point Deni,
Unfortunately, that knuckle dragging primate known as Harry will continue on with another 5 part series.

Harry, end this series!

And you don’t need to give stuff away to your subscribers… Instead give to a local charity or food bank.

You Monkey!

The end!

No need for a 5 part series and multi syllable words.

And the comments aren’t interesting…

Now stop showing up on my “jim rogers” search. Thank you!

So, the point is, if you only have $10k, buy some emergency supplies, canned food, and whatever you might need in case of break down of supply chain, and shortages. If you have $100K, you can buy the necessities, and then take the remaining money and buy gold.
The point of gold is to preserve wealth, but you must know that you can’t eat it or drink it. If you want to own gold, you have to have emergency supplies so that the guy with the beans doesn’t gyp the starving gold holder.

Gold would be just like any commodity. Like, in a worst case scenario, the ideal would be to stock up on oil, toilet paper, canned foods, cigs, and liquor. To have enough for personal consumption as well as for trading purposes. Once you have all those necessities, you can take whatever remaining wealth you have and turn it into gold. Gold can be just a store of wealth, which can then later be turned into a certain amount of tp, or canned food, or whatever.

you can bet on the fact that governments will disappear.
The people will find out that they are responsible together with the banks.
They will find out when the unemployment figures will get much bigger. The system of governments and their serfs will end. Then the fiat money will be worth nothing.

let’s hope that the dollar collapses during a winter.
Then you can use it to heat your fire.

Side note on that French monetary collapse, here’s a reading of:

“FIAT MONEY INFLATION IN FRANCE

How It Came, What It Brought, and How It Ended”

by ANDREW DIGESON WHITE, written in 1896

3, Huge difference between price and value. The price of gold can go to 5K, but if you are measuring it in FRNs, then you are using a constantly changing yardstick for your measurements.

6. 6000 years of history. Eg: When the Roman empire collapsed due to monetary inflation (dilution of coins), did the following civilizations not go back to gold?

When the French Assignats collapsed in the late 18th century (1790s), did the French not go back to gold?

Okay, get ready to be disagreed with Harry! lol

1. Only some have gold and when currency collapses, the first barter/trade that is done with gold is the first step to spreading the gold around. Gold is currently being used in Zimbabwe for trading.

2. Gold being hoarded due to high price: The price will be high because people want it. If no one accepts it (in trade), the price must come down, thus rebalancing the equation and allowing trade again.

you can always move to the far east : in India almost every family has gold… and soon every family in China will have gold.

Also remember that there will be half ounces and quarter ounces and even smaller coins to start a new gras roots financial system : when the shit hits the fan, people will do everything to have a little bit gold and silver

Anonymous 12.01.09 at 6:24 am

That will not happen if gold doesn’t go higher than 5000 dollar.
I mean : 5000 dollar per ounce is NOTHING.

Gold price adjusted for inflation, for all the paper gold conversion, for all the tungsten laced bars that have to be converted…. the price of gold will have to be 35000 dollars per ounce before happens what you think will happen.

I think 35000 dollars per ounce isn’t even close to what should be the real price.

Gold may be like taking a 100 dollar bill to a fea market. Yes gold may attract attention and be clumsy as any high denomination note would now. But it would be money.

Buy silver first.

Collapse of the dollar and other currencies seems to be the central concern regarding economic stability. Do you think the elite or the power brokers or the movers-and-shakers or the Bildenbergs or government leaders or who/whatever can get together and have a “gentlemen’s agreement” to prevent financial catastrophe or do you think these events are under scientific laws such as thermodynamics? You were alluding to that when you were talking about relative worth in value transactions.

you alluded to this early on: some metal investors have reached an almost manic level.

that is a dangerous place to be because you tend to not be open to new ideas.

i have seen videos where the person was almost giddy in anticipation for a collapse.

look, i own gold and silver in reasonably substantial amounts. however, in the end, its a piece of metal.

only a fool is not open to new ideas, especially when the stakes are this high.

Anonymous 12.01.09 at 6:24 am

very cool. definite disagreement, but have caused us all to think.

i’ve seen people comment early on that these videos were a wasting of time. humorously, they continued to watch and comment on every one.

no one has all the answers on this, but literally our life may depend on our preparations and strategy. its worth the time and debate.

thanks for your time and thought-provoking ideas. i rarely ever comment on videos, and yet have found myself commenting on every one of these.

Anonymous 12.01.09 at 6:24 am

I think u are too theoretical. Practically gold will pay off.

Check out what is ACTUALLY happening in Zimbabwe. A country currently in Hyperinflation.

video : v=7ubJp6rmUYM

So from reality it can be seen that when shit hits the fan, owning gold is the RIGHT choice.

i can ALWAYS count on you to hit key points (and weakness’ in others arguments). You seem to see though all this and really GET it. thanks for your comments..AND for calling people out when needed.

you know. i’m PERFECTLY fine w/ people..even MOBS who disagree w/ me. All i’m asking for is a civil debate of ideas. this series..although long…touched on ONE scenario…the ‘worst-case’ scenario…which MANY people who are now buying physical gold use as their #1 reason.

i just wanted to share a different point of view and get some feed back. but man…i’ve been attacked…not only on these video’s..but personally. that a statement in itself. thanks for you great comments!
