Invest In Gold During Periods of Inflation

By Garrett Strong

Gold is the go to money in times of inflation and economic crisis. Gold is a hedge against inflation. If you are saying to yourself right now that gold is not money, and that it is just a shiny relic that people wear around their necks, then you are dead wrong.


Gold has been money for over 6,000 years. Gold and silver were the first forms of real money that met the requirements of sound money. Plato and Aristotle spoke of sound money to be


1. The ability to be durable. It must stand the test of time and not wither.


2. The ability to be portable. Good money needs to hold value in a small space.

3. The ability to be divisible. Real money should have the ability to be divided evenly and still hold its value. Also known as fungibility. Diamnonds are not fungible because each diamond has it's own value.

4. It must hold a rare value or quality.


Those four requirments are important because Plato and Aristotle knew something that most people today are not aware of. Our paper dollar, and all paper money for that matter, do not meet any of the requirements of sound money.

Paper is paper. It can be made on the spot and printed at will. Paper is neither rare or durable. The trust that we put into paper is the only thing giving it value at this point.


A dollar bill is nothing more than a piece of paper with ink stamped on it. That's it. It would be the same thing if someone gave you a sheet of writing paper to mow their lawn. There is no difference between the two. The two are paper.

If someone gave you oil, silver, copper, or gold to wash their car then it is different. Those are real assets. It indicates hard work and sweat to bring those assets about.


Since our government can produce as many dollars on demand as they want, the more they print the more worthless our money becomes. This means that a dollar collapse is happening under our noses. That is the sole reason gold and silver were the first and only currency used for thousands of years. Gold and silver can not be produced at will.

Mining companies have to put lots of money and resources to even get close to producing any gold or silver. Energy and time is consumed in this process. Paper currency is a relatively new thing in world history. Since the start of using paper as currency, and there have been hundreds, all of them have failed.

Gold and silver coins have proven throughout history to hold their value and hedge against inflation. While fiat paper currencies plummet, gold will continue going to the moon.


Not only is our dollar falling in value, but gold is in the middle of a 20 year bull market. The gold price is at an all time high of over $1,100/oz. People flock to gold in times of Inflation. Why do people do this? It's because gold can not be inflated. What does inflated even mean?

If you inflate a balloon, then the size gets bigger. Our dollars are experiencing the same such thing. If our government keeps printing money, then more money will be in circulation. You see higher prices because you have more dollars chasing the same amount of goods.


Inflation does not mean higher prices, it simply means printing more money. Higher prices are the result of printing more money. So, get out of dollar related assets now before you lose out big time.


Gold, silver, gold bullion, silver bullion, and mining stocks are the only assets you should be invested in right now. China, India, Arab countries, and others are diversifying out of dollars as we speak, and India's central bank just purchased 200 tons of gold from the IMF. You decide if it's time to get invested in gold and silver.


God bless. - 23199
