Episode notes
INSIGHT

U.S. Inflation Understated

  • U.S. inflation is substantially understated; real CPI is about 9%-10.8%, not 3%.
  • This inflates economic weakness and hides the fact that the U.S. entered recession in October last year.
INSIGHT

Monetary Policy Driving Inflation

  • Inflation originates mainly from prolonged monetary policy and rising food inflation.
  • The global economy, heavily in debt, risks crashing amid double-digit inflation and bond yields by 2027-2028.
ADVICE

Hold Physical Gold, Not ETFs

  • Hold physical gold rather than ETFs to protect wealth amid turmoil.
  • BRICS countries are creating a gold-backed currency system, making gold central as a safe haven.
