Episode Details

Peter Schiff has been right about precious metals, currency manipulation and the unwavering law of natural markets for over 2 decades and he joins us today as gold makes history, topping $4,000 per ounce yesterday, with no signs of slowing down.

Ray Dalio is now recommending asset allocation to gold:

“Gold is a very excellent diversifier in the portfolio,” ... If you look at it just from a strategic asset allocation perspective, you would probably have something like 15% of your portfolio in gold … because it is one asset that does very well when the typical parts of the portfolio go down.”

This is also signaling growing unease among the investing class as they clamor for a safe haven, yet main stream media on the right and left continue to miss the significance. That leaves many Americans in the dark about how to protect their assets.

Today we will discuss the recent gold surge and what it is saying about politics, the economy, and culture. Most importantly, how can average families survive and thrive amidst political chaos?
