Jeff Christian opens his gob to change feet

Yes the media's favourite gold and silver schill is back. Jeff discusses the current gold market and his view of a declining gold price over the next few years, no doubt he will be shown to be wrong again.

Jeff also seems pleased to see private gold flowing into the banking industry in Turkey. Maybe it is just me but I buy gold to get away from thieving bankers and the last entity I would "deposit" my gold with would be with a bank. Isn't this how fractional reserve banking started in the first place? People depositing gold in a bank for a paper receipt, and then the bank writing more receipts than they had gold in the vault. Anyway the video is worth a watch if only to see Daniela Cambone look down on Jeff and ponder why, despite his new suit, his mum dresses him funny.

Classic mainstream brain dead media pap. Wow!! collectible coins are up 248% over 10 years, lets show you graphics of silver bullion coins (which of course are actually up 519% over 10 years). How can silver be in a bubble if the media can't even identify it, let alone know the price.

Costs of Progress

Whilst we can legitimately complain about the loss of manufacturing jobs in the West, aren't you glad that all the consumer shitte is made "there" and not "here"?

Below are the key charts and analysis from the report, which is provided in full below.

First, real (inflation-adjusted) incomes have been declining since the onset of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008:
