Ron Paul: Inflation, Cost Push or Demand Pull?

The effects of unprecedented government spending (of money it does not have) and unprecedented Federal Reserve counterfeiting of U.S. dollars are showing up in the economy with rapidly rising prices. 

You're expected to focus only on the symptoms, and then blame everything except The Fed. The Ron Paul Liberty Report focuses on the root of the problem, along with the solution.

Ron Paul: Inflation Raises Its Ugly Head, What Will The Fed Do Now?

Cause and Effect ... Supply & Demand ... These can never be abolished by central planners. Economic Laws and The Market always prevail over bureaucrats. 

To believe that politicians can endlessly hand out money that they do not have, and that The Fed can counterfeit trillions of dollars without serious economic repercussions, is to believe in the impossible. 

Reality always puts an end to fantasy.

Exploding Silver Price: Palladium On Steroids

Ron Paul: Freedom Eliminates The Evils of Socialism & Fascism

Socialism & Fascism are two sides of the same totalitarian coin, with the latter ideology being an offshoot of the former. 

While Socialism preaches the State being the sole owner of the means of production, Fascism preaches a partnership of State (Power) and Corporations (Money). 

Socialism leads to rapid ruin, while Fascism leads to a longer and drawn out ruin. The destination is the same regardless of the speed in getting there. 

Freedom and free markets are the only escape from this totalitarian vice.

Here Is Why Silver And Platinum Will Outperform Gold In 2021

Gold is a safe haven for investors in times of uncertainty. Investors rush to accumulate precious metals when conventional paper investments such as stocks decline or experience volatility. For this reason, gold had a good run in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic coupled with geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

Investors resorted to stockpiling precious metals to protect their wealth. As a result, the price of precious metals leaped significantly due to a supply deficit. To be precise, gold recorded a 20% increase while silver and platinum increased 47% and 10%, respectively.

Precious Metals Will Perform Better In 2021

After a spectacular year, precious metals are poised to experience solid gains in 2021. According to Phillip Newman, MD at consultants Metal Focus, gold will hit new highs, but silver will see the highest gains. The price of precious metals will strengthen in the first quarter thanks to the low-interest rates and weak dollar.

According to ForexTradingBonus.com, The US economy’s slowdown could trigger a weaker dollar during the first quarter and low corporate earning. Fast economic recoveries s in other parts of the world could exacerbate this situation.

Effect of Economy Recovery on Precious Metals

Investors have been cautious and liquidated their positions, especially due to covid 19 worries.

Luckily, there is a likelihood that many countries will end restrictions and lift curfews with corona vaccine rollouts. This means there is a glimmer hope of economic recovery. Deploying the vaccine against the virus will boost investors’ confidence in assets that record a good performance during economic growth.

Additionally, with the end of the electioneering period, investors can now concentrate on fundamentals and other trading factors. For instance, Inflations threats, negative return on a bond, and massive government debt will continue in 2021, further supporting gold. According to Ros Norman, the Gold price could see a 20-25% increase.

Silver And Platinum Will Outdo Gold

Gold started experiencing growth in 2019 due to a slowing economy. The rally accelerated after the pandemic, hitting a record high of $2075 on August 7, 2020. As a result, the price of gold dipped to around $1900 as investors stopped buying. Although the demand for physical gold-dipped due to shutdowns, a surge was recorded in investment demand. For instance, SPDR Gold Trust, the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, recorded a 30% gain, the biggest since 2009.

According to USB Global Wealth Management, it is unlikely that gold will maintain this stellar performance in 2021. In fact, the firm predicts that silver and platinum will outperform gold in the coming months.

Similarly, MKS managing director Frederic Panizzutti points out that all precious metals prices will record solid gains this year. In an interview with Kitco news, he predicts that silver will be the best performer. Panizzutti also says that gold will reach an all-time high at $2300 despite the slow start this year. According to the firm, silver, platinum, and gold will be the best performing precious metals. The lag in silver and platinum could create a gap that will attract investment and speculative interest...
