Interview with Brian Bain from Investor In The Family (What will gold do next?)

Doug was interviewd by Brian Bain: in the interview they discussed the following

• $50,000 Seems outrageous but starts appearing saner in the context of John Exter’s inverse pyramid.
•  Many things can trigger the unraveling, they all usually come back to Fed.
•  Doug is confident Fed will not raise rates again this year.
•  There will be a time when treasuries begin to crack, then gold and silver will begin to take off.
•  When will $50,000 gold come?

Interview notes:

• $50,000 seems outrageous but starts appearing saner in the context of John Exter’s inverse pyramid.
• John Exter has been called “the only honest central banker”
  • He was a central banker in the 1970s and known for his critique of central bankers
  • He claimed Fed was out of control at when it’s debt load was around $80B

• “Gold bugs” still see cracks in the future of the federal reserve system, John Exter saw these cracks back in the 1970s

• Congress has no clue as to saving money or budgeting
• Central Bankers accommodate Congress with artificially low rates
• John Exter’s Inverse Pyramid
  • Upside down pyramid with gold at the bottom

• 2008-09 we had a mini-crash in the pyramid, but gold and silver also got hit
• Once this unraveling begins, even gold can get hit
• Many things can trigger the unraveling, they all usually come back to Fed
• The unraveling begins when bids disappear on risk assets, investors trying to liquidate assets are unable to
  • In 1987 there were some assets that had no bids
  • Fear sets in and causes people to panic (ex: 1987)
  • Fed will do all they can to stem
• Doug is confident Fed will not raise rates again this year
  • Fed will likely begin speaking of QE again because the strong dollar is really hurting things
• Gold and silver should bottom where they are short-term
• Gold and silver will collapse with everything else
  • During the predicted unraveling cash and treasuries will do best
  • TLT and TMF will shoot up
  • The dollar will go over 100 and even 120
• Doug is confident in gold and silver (SLV) now more than ever
  • Even so, he sees one more last leg down in gold and silver
• Gold should run up to 1400-1500 over summer 2018
• There will be a time when treasuries begin to crack, then gold and silver will begin to take off
• When to buy gold? When you begin to see treasuries crack
• Can’t have a dollar crash without other currencies crashing
• Doug recommends going half in gold now and half in during the crash coming in September/October 2018
• When will $50,000 gold come?
  • If Fed raises rates down the road, when is the end game? When we hit 6% in interest rates
  • Fed still has a lot of tools, can still lower rates and even go negative. The US cannot pay 6% interest on its debt
• The coming deflationary credit contraction could extend longer than people think
• He sees us easily reaching $5,000 gold
• For summer 2018, Doug sees stocks and gold/silver going higher
• For fall 2018, Doug will be looking to see if the Fed starts retreating and potentially mentioning QE again. This could be the beginning of a 2007-09 type crash.
• Doug looks to be long metals and miners by end of year
