According to Friday's Wall Street Journal, the S&P 500 Price/Earnings index (stock valuations index) on Friday morning (Mar 3) was at an astronomically high 24.90. This is far above the historical average of 14, indicating that the stock market bubble is still growing, and could burst at any time. Generational Dynamics predicts that the P/E ratio will fall to the 5-6 range or lower, which is where it was as recently as 1982, resulting in a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 3000 or lower.

A stock market panic and crash is coming with 100% certainty. To this day, we still don't know what triggered the stock market panic in October 1929, and why it happened at that time rather than a little earlier or later, so we don't know what will trigger the approaching stock market panic and crash, though we know with certainty that it's coming.
This means gold will skyrocket in value. Ten thousand dollars for an ounce gold is not unrealistic.

Didn't you ask me this question a few months ago? As I wrote at the
time, gold is in a bubble, just like the stock market. The long-term
trend value of gold is around $500 per oz. When the bubble bursts,
the price will overshoot and fall to the $200-300 range, which is
where it was around 2000.

Here's an article I wrote in 2011:

** 28-Jul-11 News -- Washington follows Brussels in fraud and extortion

Here's another graph that shows the historical price of gold
in 1998 dollars:

The price of gold has never been above $2,400, and that was in 1492,
at the climax of Spain's Reconquest war, when Columbus was sent to
America to find more gold. Since then, the price of gold has always
been much lower. It would not be surprising to see the price of gold
fall to $300 an ounce, as it did in 2000.

If you really believe that the price of gold will go up to $10,000,
then you're crazy and you're going to lose all your money.

You have a good memory. I did ask this question a few months ago.

I have read your article, and why it makes some sense, I think you're missing a major factor: we are living in unprecedented times. The world is now globalized. Markets are interconnected, and civilization is endangered. Countries collapse. Empires collapse. But the global economy has never collapsed before.

Gold will be transferable. Gold is apolitical and can cross any border and be called money.

I don't think all governments will collapse (some will), but I think we are facing unprecedented economic shocks. Rome collapsed, but Byzantium did not. When Rome collapsed, China was thriving; so was Korea. But this time the global economy faces near total ruin.

Marc Faber has been talking about $10,000 and ounce gold for years, so have many other economists.

I'm not trying to argue for the sake of arguing, but I do believe you should factor some of this in. The value of gold will be higher because demand will outstrip supply.

Your reasoning doesn't make sense. You say that the price of gold
will go up to $10,000 because "the global economy faces near total
ruin."

OK, so assume that the global economy has collapsed, and you're
sitting there in your kitchen with your stack of gold bars. What are
you going to do with them? You can't eat them. You can't wear them.
No one will buy them because the global economy will have collapsed
for everyone else as well. No one would pay you $10,000 an ounce for
your gold bars in a collapsed economy, because no one has any money,
and everyone who has gold is trying to sell out of desperation. You'd
be so desperate that you'd be glad to get $10 per ounce for them.
You'd probably end up using them as doorstops.

The price of gold can go up only in a well-functioning economy, when
everyone has money to spend, and gold salesmen are flourishing. In a
collapsed economy, the price of gold will also collapse, because
everyone with gold will be selling.

You're saying that the price of gold will go up to $10,000 because
"this time it's different," when in fact, this time it's not different
at all.

So when you say repeatedly that 'there is no solution', do you mean civilization will collapse and gold/money/currency will be worthless? Only food, medicine, and bullets will matter? A Dark Age? This is beyond what I have been planning for.

You're asking me how to survive a world war. In order to
answer your question, I googled the word "survivalist" and
found the following page that gives a list of survivalist web
sites. You can visit these sites at your leisure and get
all the information you want.

When the velocity of money goes to zero, the velocity of air, water and food goes to near infinity.

Does NO ONE watch The Walking Dead!?

..now, burying gold bullion and keeping and passing the "secret location" on through your "family" for some FOUR to SIXTEEN generations might help your "progeny" quite nicely! :) (You MUST leave it for at least four generations, and it's best if it's left for some multiple of four generations [assuming you "start" in a pre-crisis period].)

But, as long as anxiety is based on "bank accounts losing value" buy gold and at the same time figure out what to buy WITH that gold when the center of anxiety shifts to "gasping, dehydrating and starving".

..start selling BEFORE the shift reaches "half steam speed". Monitor the price of guns, as "shift speed" is directly related to it.

When the "velocity of guns' price" goes steep parabolic, get set,.. and when it goes hyperbolic you've missed the boat.

Hey John,.. perhaps you should create a "Gun Price Velocity (PV)" metric, to be "linked" to a "Gold PV" metric and a "Cow-based Food PV" metric to monitor the approaching Zombie Apocalypse?

Badness = (Gun*Cow)/Gold

? :)

Don't forget that you can make your own guns with a 3D printer, but
you can't make your own gold unless you're an alchemist.

Oh,.. I had not thought of that! :)

..so the goal would be to create a "system/factory" to create printable guns, and make ammo, that is as low-tech as possible and uses easily acquired resource materials ("gunk") that can be sourced sustainably in a low tech environment!

We may have found the "philosopher's stone" to convert "gunk" into gold during the low "(gun*cow)/gold" times, and convert "gunk" into food/water/continued-breathing during high "(gun*cow)/gold" times.

...excellent...!! <-- voice of Mr. Burns.


Gold is only useful to buy "source materials" while gold has high-ish value, and as a gift to your far future progeny otherwise.

Only buy guns/ammo, a gun "factory", and food (aka farming supplies) with gold. Selling gold for dollars is a sure sign you're doing it wrong. :)
