The US could Confiscate the European Gold : Jim Rickards

Jim Rickards : "I tell investors, Gold doesn't ever change value. what this is really telling us is that the dollar is going down. it's the inversion of the dollar. you know, the dollar may go down nominally. all the currencies are going down together against gold and i think that's the significant movement." Jim Rickards, Tangent Capital Partners senior managing director "well, I've been very bullish on the euro. partially because they have 10,000 tons of gold. we have 8,000 tons. they actually have more gold than we do. if you combine Europe, the united states and throw in the IMF for good measure, that's about 70% of all the official gold in the world. who is left out in the cold? the Chinese, Brazilians and the British don't have much gold. as the payroll currencies begin to collapse and you need to go back to a gold backed system which I expect in a matter of years , the people with the Gold , I call the US the Saudi Arabia of the Gold we are a super power in Gold , their Gold (the Europeans ) is in the United States so one of the scenarios ahead is the United States will confiscate European Gold it's what we have done before FDR 1933

Silver vs. Gold

Silver’s intrinsic value has appreciated considerably more than gold’s intrinsic value has in terms of the worthlessness of privately-owned borrowed-paper-bond phony ‘labor exchange currency’. The loss in private-paper monopoly “labor exchange ducat” value in terms of gold’s intrinsic value may look big (gold price rises may look bigger) than the loss of paper ducat value in silver but silver has less intrinsic value per-unit weight. As a percentage of their unit price, silver units have “gone up” (retained their worth and rarity values, against ever-more, ever-cheapening labor exchange ducat values) much more than gold units have. Savers are retaining more of their savings worth with silver savings than they are with gold savings. MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on.
