James Turk's Outlook for Gold for 2013 to 2015

~~~

folks, what we see in stocks, gold, commodities, ... is IMO the fear about USD out there. the folks (americans & foreigners) are trying (at the same time!) to escape from their paper USD assets and to buy some hard assets at any price!

no matter how expensive gold and other commodities are, let's change the dollars into real value (e.g. india's central bank purchased 200 tonnes gold at record price from IMF last week, the second half of IMFs fire sale will prolly go to china soon ...)
no matter how disastrous the current economic data is (record unemployment data, record P/E ratios because of soooooo sad earnings outlook, ...), the folks are buying stocks because a stock represents a piece of company/business and is not only a worth-less promise of u.s. government like a dollar note is (bye-bye fiat currencies!)

=> WE ARE IN THE EARLY PHASE OF AN INFLATIONARY HARD ASSETS RALLY !!!
btw, i do not think the €uro is much better than the USD and IMO it would collapse just few seconds later, because the ECB is not so committed to fight against inflation as the good old german bundesbank was (... do not forget, we germans had twice hyperinflation in the last 100 years, so the bundesbank still remembers the impacts of hyperinflation in some way)

james turk in munich!

well, james turk told yesterday in his great presentation at the munich's precious metals fair (presentation should be available at www.goldmoney.com in approx. 2 weeks in english + german), that the tipping point for the USD is just weeks/months ahead (before summer 2010?) and -if nothing changes- usa is heading to inflation / hyperinflation of deposit accounts like argentina was few years ago! pls do not ask me what deposit-accounts-inflation concrete is as i have no clue abt that, i just would tell you that we can be lucky because we don't have to carry waggons of paper money :o). what a cold comfort, isn't it? the folks in germany in 1920ies or in zimbabwe 2 years ago in their paper-money inflation had 2 carry a lot of paper 2 get anything real ... btw, as far as i know there is no zimbabwean currency at the moment and they use foreign currencies like usd, €uro, rand instead.

folks, i do not wanna destroy your believes abt gold, james turk and the universe, but do u know what such an internationally well known gold bug as james really told? hmmm, should i squeal that? hmmmm. ok, here we go: ... "gold is a lousy investment" ... from his point of view does gold 'just' keep its buying power, it is not an investment vehicle itself. well, james considers gold as money + he recommends strongly to keep our savings in gold/silver (and add to it every month on dollar-averaging-base no matter how high/low the current gold price is) instead of keeping savings in any fiat currency! at least for the last 10 years he is right, just look at the most emphasized chart from his presentation about the yearly change of gold price in major currencies (pls do not overlook the highlighted double digit gains in each paper currency on average!):
