Here are some pithy insights from recent podcasts...
Dr. Marc Faber
“Basically, gold is an honest currency. You can increase the supply somewhat through the opening of new mines and the exploration and the discovery of new deposits, but you cannot print it and double the supply of gold overnight. That simply doesn't exist. And that quality of gold being a store of value is a disaster for the interventionists that we have at central banks and, by the way, in government.” Read More...
Steve Forbes
“In terms of gold, unless you're a jeweler, I see it as an insurance policy. It doesn't build new factories or things like that, new software. What it is is insurance that if things really go wrong you've got something that will balance your portfolio. So whether it's five percent or ten percent, it shouldn't be dominating your portfolio… The price of gold has come down since 2011 when it looked like the U.S. Government might default, but today in this kind of environment, is probably a good time [to buy].” Read More...
Frank Holmes
“Just be thankful. We all woke up today. We're all listening and talking with each other, and that's the most blessed part of life. And there's lots of great research that when we are grateful, we are being mindful, and that thoughtfulness allows us to see opportunities. I think that's really key if you want to be able to capture opportunities… is just be grateful. You know, we've lived through these past three years that we've been in the gold cycle. It's been really challenging, but we're alive, and we're going to continue to seek more opportunities...”

Craig Hemke
“The world is changing. You have to be prepared for it. You have to remain aware of the changes that are going on around you and again, one of the best ways you can protect yourself financially is the acquisition of physical precious metal, both gold and silver.” Read More...
Steve St. Angelo
"Something is going to break and people will get precious metal religion very quickly."
“Wait till the thing really starts to implode. That's when we're going to see a lot more, especially the wealthy and institutions move into the precious metals. I'm not saying it's going to happen this month, but it's better to be in the metals now than wait or try to time this market because it can change on a dime… You do not want to be in paper assets when that occurs, and this is not a 5, or 10-year timeline. This will happen within the next several years.” Read More...
David Morgan
“Telling the truth during times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act. Well welcome to the counter-revolution. We have gone from a constitutional republic into a fascist system... Now it's time for a counter-revolution to bring us back to the principles that our forefathers found worth dying for.” Read More...
Keith Neumeyer
“Silver is a much more rare metal than people actually realize. As a human race, we're consuming more silver today than we ever have. And above-ground supplies are dropping substantially. I think we're going to have a huge supply squeeze in silver. It's not showing up in price, yet. It will over time. I'm confident with that.” Read More...
Gerald Celente
“Tell me any time in history that we had a zero interest rate policy. Who made this stuff up? They've not raised interest rates since 2006, and the zero interest rate policy has been in line since the end of 2008. Everybody now admits what [I’ve] been saying since they began doing it. It's a cover-up, it's not a recovery. The only people it's helped are the financial markets in terms of the hedge funds and the high-frequency traders, mergers and acquisitions, and stock buybacks. End of story. They're in a trap. They don't know what to do.” Read More...
Michael Pento
“And [recent market conditions are] indicative of how bad the economy is on a global basis. Look, this is worse than 2008, and the reason... is because in 2008 we had an over-leveraged consumer and banking system. And everybody knows that now, we had an over-leveraged consumer, they had too much credit debt outstanding, mortgage debt outstanding. These loans went bankrupt, and of course, banks were rendered insolvent.”
“Gold is... a hedge against negative, real interest rates.” Read More...
