Rick
Rule, who is the CEO of Sprott USA, said, “We are in the midst of a commodities
super cycle of the same dimension we experienced in the 1970s.” The 1970s was
an extremely difficult period, and it eventually culminated in a flight from
fiat currencies into gold as the world experienced a period of tremendous
turmoil.
Here is
what Rick Rule had to say: “We are in the midst of a commodities super
cycle of the same dimension we experienced in the 1970s ... By the way, I don’t
disagree that there are attempts being made to suppress the price of gold, but
the market is bigger than the morons who are trying to suppress it. As far as
I’m concerned, the harder they try to suppress it, the bigger the ultimate move
will be.
At some point in time rational people, people who can
add and subtract, are going to say, ‘Would I rather have my wealth held in the
form of a floating abstraction, like a euro, yen, or US dollar? Or would I
rather have an asset that is not simultaneously somebody else’s responsibility?
Something that can’t be printed and counterfeited.’
My suspicion is that over time, more people will
become comfortable with gold than they are with fiat currencies ... The Chinese
government isn’t trying to suppress the price of gold. It’s encouraging Chinese
individuals to own gold...."
