Jaime says, "I've been preparing for this storm for a long time, and it's here. I don't think we can hide from the global volatility." In 2008, they bailed out the banks, but now the question is who will bail out the governments. The spread between the pound and the dollar is too wide, and the monetary systems of today are too interconnected. The U.S. is just the best-looking fiat currency. Gold is currently flying against nearly every currency except the dollar.

We've seen rates change rapidly in just a month. Mortgages are reaching upwards of seven percent. The debt bubble is colossal, and how do we get out from under it. People are failing to recognize the geopolitical shift that is occurring around us. Countries have debt held in U.S. dollars, and now their interest payments are increasing, and the dollar is becoming more expensive.

Stock markets have grown by a hundred trillion since 2008. This came with growth in debt of two hundred trillions. The only way forward in this environment is with a reset. The rising dollar is hiding the inflation in the United States and when that reverses, inflation will show its true face.

The one asset that has benefitted people the best in periods like we are heading through now is the one asset that is least owned by western investors; gold.

Taxes are only going to increase until those in charge wake up. It's going to be the hard times that generate the awareness to fix the system.

We will see benefits once we get through this crisis. Values of society will increase and reliance on family structures. The system will eventually correct. At some point, wiser minds should prevail.

There is political risk coming to the United States at the midterm elections. We could see the Republican's sweep much of the political positions.

There are trillions in dollars, but only billions available in gold. The world's financial pyramid is balancing on that tiny amount of gold.
