This article will dive into the question on whether the dollar will crash as so many have predicted over the years. What it will point out is what I wrote about in my book Illusions of Wealth, that all fiat currencies eventually go to zero. Why? Because governments screw them up.

My last article was a bullish one for the stock market and it has gone up ever since, continually hitting record highs. While gold went up also, it …

The dollar is just 48 years old without a relationship to gold. Most don’t even know that. Most don’t understand gold and its history. But governments are the reason currencies fail and have failed over time. Every single one of them. Every single time. How is it different this time? Because of the magic of the Fed?

Synopsis Presidents campaign on promises to reduce an out of control national debt yet the debt keeps marching higher during every Presidents term. The National Debt has been irrelevant since the times of even before Reagan but escalated with Reagan. Why doesn’t the national debt matter? What will Fed interest rate policy be moving forward?

The beginning of the month I wrote an article called Gold Bottom? Gold Bottom? – Current Thoughts for 5/1/2018 I wrote in that article; “we may still have one smaller move below $1,300 to possibly $1,280.” We got down to a closing low of 1288.30 on 5/18 and an intraday low of 1282.27 on 5/21.
