Dave at GoldCore TV invited me to talk about gold and silver in light of record inflation around the world and gold flirting with $2,000 again. Many of my fellow gold bugs are—righty, I think—optimistic about the gold-dollar exchange ration ("price of gold") going forward, but it pays to question one's premises. So I was glad that Dave challenged me on what could go wrong for gold and silver in today's high-inflation environment. From there, the conversation got even more interesting, touching on the impact of rate hikes, the war, the New Iron Curtain, the Great Reopening, de-globalization, and that most vicious question of all: what would I do in Jerome Powell's chair?
