Vincent Lanci: The Most Important Weekly...

Tom welcomes Vincent Lanci back to the show to discuss the importance of this week’s gold close. If it is the highest ever, it could mean bullish continuation trends as money gets reallocated. He noted the changes he has seen in the gold market, such as Basel III putting a floor in gold, and the eastward shift of gold demand. He discussed the lack of trust in the metals markets, the differences between gold and silver, and the correlations between different commodities.

Vincent discussed the potential path forward for inflation in the context of the current recession, and the actions the ‘BRICS’ are taking to separate their economies from US dollar hegemony. He outlined Zoltan Pozsar’s concept of the “Three Prices of Money,” where investors should have a piece of the old economy, a piece of the potential new economy, and a bridge between the two.

Overall, Vince discussed why this week’s gold close is so important, and how investors should be prepared to navigate a changing economy as businesses move to other countries and new technologies and renewable energy sources become more prevalent.

Talking Points From This Episode

• This week’s gold close could potentially be the highest weekly, monthly and quarterly close ever, signaling bullish continuation trends.
• Price leadership has moved east due to the East-West cold war and de-globalization, resulting in more gold flowing east and a potential end of the petro dollar.
• Zoltan Pozsar’s idea of the three goals suggests investors should own a piece of the old economy (black gold), a piece of the potential new economy (white gold), and a bridge between the two (yellow gold) to prepare for the US dollar weakening in buying power.
