“I was just thinking today.. whether I should put everything in gold and silver,” says Dr. Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report. In today’s interview, Faber argues liquidity is flooding the system, fueling speculation in everything from stocks to crypto while crushing the middle class with soaring living costs. “Throughout 5,000 years of history, governments have always chosen the same path — they print. And believe me, under Mr. Trump the deficit will go up substantially. He’s a money printer.” Faber explains why official inflation numbers are “a joke,” why cash and bonds are “the worst instruments to hold,” and why individuals must act before governments do: “I still recommend everyone, everywhere, to accumulate gold gradually. Between 20% and 40% of your wealth should be in precious metals.” Watch how he plans to preserve his wealth in these tumultuous times.
