Exploring the intricate web of marketing strategies and relationships within the physical metals investment sphere, particularly focusing on gold, and how various entities collaborate to attract investors towards high-fee services.
In this episode we answer emails from Zane, Slim Jim, and Jim Kirk. We discuss recent moves in world gold markets, good and bad mental models of collective action and critical events, including Mimetic Theory and fractal sand pile models, avoiding the physical metals racket, the data and evidence showing that retirees experience inflation at a much lower rate than the CPI (and most financial planners and DIYers get this completely wrong, resulting in bad planning), and the new global portfolio analysis article at Portfolio Charts (again).
