Low Artificial Interest Rates Are Going To Be Very Costly

They should not have lowered interest rates to zero for 7 or 8 years. We are all going to pay a horrible price for this. Debt has gone through the roof in the last 7 or 8 years. The Fed`s balance sheet alone has gone up 600 percent in seven years.

You and I, everybody is going to pay a horrible price for this historical low artificial interest rate.

A Crisis Would Be Bullish For Gold

Low prices for many people will be crisis. If the price of gold goes to 900 dollars / ounce a lot of people will see it as a crisis because a lot of people believe that gold is holy and it can never go down. That would be a crisis in price.

Yes, a crisis would be bullish for gold as low prices would be good for gold.

The U.S. Dollar Will Get Overpriced

I do own a lot of U.S. Dollars, I am not selling the U.S. Dollar. I expect the U.S Dollar to get very overpriced because there is more turmoil coming and people do not know what to do so they look for a safe haven. The U.S. Dollar is not a safe haven. The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. Most people think it is a safe haven so it will get overpriced and I hope I am smart enough to sell it if and when that happens.

It is one of the few in the world that has gone down in price. Sugar is down 75 or 80 percent from its all time high. That is astonishing if you start looking at the world. So, this is going to go on for a long time when agriculture turns.
