DAY TWO & THREE: Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th November
Featuring highly respected speakers from Canada, Australia and the USA, this event is set to be a sell out event and not to be missed.
Hear speakers such as Dan Denning of the Daily Reckoning and Dr David Evans of Gold Nerds along with other incredible speakers
Don’t miss the world renowned James Dines - one of the most famous gold bugs on the planet—when bullion is breaking records daily. This will be his first time speaking in Sydney since his sell out speaking tour at the Opera House and one not to be missed
Moneyline called Mr Dines "one of the most extraordinary men in America today; a man with a long and glorious reputation in being one of the first people to call the real turns in the strategic moves that happened in our marketplaces over the years."
If you’re familiar with his writings—and his take on gold—you’ll realise the timing couldn’t be better to hear what he’s thinking right now

A fast track lesson on gold and silvers past, present and a blueprint looking forward - part 1
• How the goldsmiths became the modern day bankers and the start of Fractional Reserve banking.
• History’s examples of Currency vs. Money
• Why Gold has been the best performing asset class in the last 9 years yet hardly anyone owns it and why you need to own it now!
• Where are we now in the cycle and what’s still to come
| 9.40am
| Mr Dan Denning, Editor, The Daily Reckoning, Melbourne, Australia
The Welfare State we're in
• In Western democracies, paper money has allowed the Welfare State to grow very large - too large
• Sovereign bankruptcy means the 'welfare' part of the Welfare State is going to shrink
• Sound money is suddenly on the agenda again as gold is remonetised in response to the debt crisis
• If gold is a foundation in a new financial order, the implications for society are profound
| 10.20am
| Mr Louis Boulanger, CFA, Founder and Director, LB Now Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand
The origins of money and its nature today
• What is money? How did it come about?
• Why do most people, including mainstream economists, know so little about it?
• We look at the true origins and nature of money
• What now passes for, and is accepted as, money?
• Who decides what money is today?
| 11.00am
| MORNING TEA
| 11.30am
| Dr David Evans, mathematician and founder of GoldNerds, Perth, Australia
How our full fiat paper money system works and fails
• How money is manufactured in today's monetary system
• Each dollar spent in stimulus eventually reduces GDP by $3.40 when it has to be paid back. But in today's fiat system, it doesn't really have to be paid back
• The unprecedented debt bubble of the last 30 years is ending; what comes next?
• Gold is returning to the monetary system, back by popular demand
| | 12.15pm | Mr Robert Lambourne, Chairman, Penox SA, United Kingdom
Gold, interest rates, and Gibson's Paradox
• Gibson's Paradox was the observation that the rate of interest and the general level of prices were observed to be correlated, first reported in 1923
• It was considered a paradox because economic theory postulated that the rate of interest would be correlated with the rate of change in the general level of prices
• Professors Barsky and Summers in a paper published in 1988 linked the paradox to the operation of the gold standard
• Commentators consider that this paper resulted in a covert policy of gold price suppression aimed to reduce long-term interest rates
(Lawrence Summers is President Obama’s principal economic adviser)
| | 1.00pm | LUNCH | | 2.00pm | Mr Laurie McGuirk, Chief Executive Officer, AgAu Capital
TBC
| | 2.40pm | Mr Rudy Fritsch, President, Allsteel, Toronto, Canada
Outline of an alternative monetary system
• Based on positive values (gold) not negative values (debt)
• No ‘fiduciary’ or trust-based component to money (i.e. no unbacked bank notes in circulation)
• The huge stock-to-flows ratio of gold assures steady value of the monetary numeraire
• A fixed money supply implies the need for a flexible clearing system to accommodate variations in commercial demand; Real Bills in worldwide circulation provide this flexibility
• Bank portfolios to consist of ~1/3 cash Gold, ~2/3 Real Bills as earning assets
| | 3.30pm | AFTERNOON TEA | | 4.00pm | Dr Marcus Matthews

• How the goldsmiths became the modern day bankers and the start of Fractional Reserve banking.
• History’s examples of Currency vs. Money
• Why Gold has been the best performing asset class in the last 9 years yet hardly anyone owns it and why you need to own it now!

ZIRP means you cannot not speculate
• When the inflationary rubber meets the real-world road, it always shows up in commodity prices. The market is aware of gold, silver, and oil but less aware of the 'enabling' technology metals'
• When widespread computer processing speed and advances in modelling software is applied to material science and metallurgy, technological innovation blooms
• Why the enabling metals are irreplaceable and secure sources of them will command high premiums
• Of the 45 metals identified as being under some form of supply threat, as many as 38 may be produced in Australia within the next 18 months, notwithstanding the efforts of the government
• We are touring Australia in search of listed companies positioned to meet this demand for precious and specialty metals
ZIRP = Zero interest rate policy | | 10.10am | Mr Gavin Thomas, Managing Director and CEO, Kingsgate Consolidated
Gold – from start to finish
Gavin has found and developed gold projects in far flung locations and will discuss:
• Why is gold exploration an expensive process with few discoveries becoming economic?
• What are some of the methods and approaches used in exploration?
• Why does it take so long to get discoveries into production and why is the process so unpredictable?
• What are the key methods used in mining gold and extracting/processing gold?
• Where is the future for gold exploration and mining?
| | 10.40am | MORNING TEA | | 11.10am | Mr Barry Dawes, Managing Director, Martin Place Securities, Sydney, Australia
Opportunities for the private investor
• We are in a secular bull market for commodities
• This is occurring against a backdrop of gold reasserting its monetary role
• Investors owning profitable commodity-producing companies will do well, while those holding currencies and paper assets will not
• What resource companies should you be looking to own?
| | 12.00pm | Prof Steve Keen, Associate Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Western Sydney, Australia
Too much debt and too little time to debunk it
• How credit money works and why it normally malfunctions
• Why this crisis has been caused by the bursting of a debt-financed speculative bubble in financial assets
• Courtesy of the US Federal Reserve rescuing the financial system from its own follies, the level of debt accumulated this time dwarfs that before the Great Depression
• The only way out is the abolition of debt that should never have been extended in the first place
| | 1.00pm | LUNCH | | 2.00pm | Mr James Dines, Investment Analyst, San Francisco, USA
Mr Dines is one of the most accurate and highly regarded investment analysts today.
They laughed when Mr Dines recommended gold at $35 and he became “The Original Goldbug,” but nobody is laughing at $1,200. What are some profitable
opportunities next? Why does America have a monopoly on printing its reserve currency without limit?
• Even now many do not believe Mr Dines’ longstanding prediction of “The Coming Great Deflation” internationally, but what’s next? Boom or Bust, inflation or deflation, or even a hyperinflation?
• Mr Dines became “The Original Rare Earth Bug” in his 22 May 2009 Dines Letter, and they subsequently rose greatly, but which ones are the best buys right now?
• What about the outlook for uranium and global warming causing raging wildfires and floods? Also, other base metals, especially titanium.
• Mr Dines is a founder of the field of Technical Analysis, and will display spectacular charts from his personal chart library, with trendlines pointing to likely targets, so don’t miss this highlight
| | 4.00pm | AFTERNOON TEA | | 4.30pm | Panel Discussion
Chair: Dr Marcus Matthews
• Prof Steve Keen - Associate Professor of Economics and Finance, University of Western Sydney
• Mr Barry Dawes - Managing Director, Martin Place Securities
• Mr Richard Karn - Managing Editor, The Emerging Trends Report
