On January 4th, the national debt exceeded the $34 trillion mark. Financial experts are raising concerns over the rapid growth of this fiscal load, highlighting a pronounced increase that may have profound economic consequences. For context, the debt had increased to $33 trillion by September 15th, following its rise to $32 trillion on June 15th, just three months earlier. This contrasts with the previous eight-month period required for the debt to climb from $31 trillion, indicating a marked escalation in government borrowing.

In this latest interview, Brian and Darryl Panes from As Good As Gold Australia, interview Alasdair Macleod - Head of Reaserch at GoldMoney. In the last 12 months, the price of gold in Japan has risen 21% and over the last 5 years, it has risen at an average of 22% per year. In Argentina, the price is up 184% in 12 months and over 1,300% in the last 5 years. In Turkey, the price has risen 62% over the past 12 months and over 600% in the last 5 years. In China, gold has surged this month over $100 an ounce on international prices. In US Dollars, however, the price of gold remains quite stable. Why is this and what would it need to see the US Dollar follow suit? Is Russia going to be the first to a 'gold standard' and will it influence the BRICS + Nations soon after? Central Banks are buying gold in huge amounts, and at the same time they are talking CBDCs. What can we expect as the final outcome? One of the main takeaways from the BRICS Summit meeting in Johannesburg was the confirmation of the addition of 6 new nations. This will mean with United Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Russia, that BRICS will have the 3 largest oil producers in the world. Surely this spells the end of the Petrodollar, and with it, the end of the Dollar's dominance. Now more than ever before it has become imperative to own gold.

In this latest interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia interview Head of Research at GoldMoney, Alasdair Macleod. South Africa is to host the 15th BRICS Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre in Sandton, Johannesburg from 22 - 24 August 2023. This is a big event, with potentially huge ramifications, and yet, mainstream media has failed once again to bring it to the attention of the unsuspecting amd unprepared world. Five additional countries, including Saudi Arabia, responsible for the Petrodollar and consequently, the dominance of the US Dollar since 1973 are ready to register with BRICS and another 31 countries to follow. That's over 60% of the world's GDP and 64% of the world's population preparing to dump the US Dollar. China is concerned about the US's 'Pump & Dump' operation, impacting on and potentially dismantling it's allies, and are planning to stop the weaponisation of the US Dollar against its trading partners. The BRICS nations policy is clear - 'stick together' and revert to sound money. What happens to the trillions of US Dollars and out of favour currency in circulation and how long will it take for the 41 countries to be admitted to BRICS. Finally, how will this expansion of BRICS impact on the global economy, the US Dollar and Gold? Now more than ever before, it's important to own gold!

In this latest interview, Brian and Darryl Panes from As Good As Gold Australia talk with Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney, and Advisor to AGAGA. With inflation still a major concern around the world and debt levels at unprecedented record highs, there are many, even now who would surprisingly believe that the inflation dragon is slain, and we are past the worst of it. Alasdair believes that this fiscal year, the budget deficit could exceed $3 trillion USD in the lead up to the Presidential election. Global investment portfolios represent around $150 trillion USD. Less than 1% is in gold. If to cover a credit crises, there was a shift of an additional 1%, that would require an extra 23,300 tonnes of gold. Where is that going to come from when we only dig up 3,000 tonne per year? Central Banks around the world are recognizing the risk and are dumping dollars in return for bullion. They can't get enough of it! The US is in a debt trap and they can't get out of it. When the populas at large recognize the dilemna that the world is in - it will be too late. As Alasdair confirms, the gold currency relationship could switch very sharply, and 2024 could be an avalanche to get out of credit and into gold. One week ago, Greg Mannarino published an article titled, 'War is for murder and money printing'. A mechanism in which war, the expansion of war, and a lot more Central bank supplied easy money is going to distort asset prices across the spectrum of asset classes, and with that, many thousands of people are going to be murdered to make certain that it happens. On Thursday of last week, and again on Friday, the US and its coalition partners (all non-BRICS nations) bombed multiple targets in Yemen. The alliance of BRICS nations is a direct threat to the Petrodollar, which just took a massive leap forward with several OPEC nations, including Iran joining the BRICS on January 2nd of this year (2024). Greg has been warning people for many months now that they can start to see war develop as a direct response to the BRICS alliance. Iran, being a founding member of OPEC now has a bomb site directly over it and every manner of anything they can do to draw Iran into a direct conflict with coalition nations is about to be utilised to send a message to BRICS nations... and that message is this: DO NOT THREATEN THE PETRODOLLAR! The Federal Reserve, whose enforcement arm to protect the Petrodollar is the US Military, including its nuclear arsenal, and it will be used against any nation/group of nations who threaten the Petrodollar. So how would the gold price behave in this disaster? Contact Us admin@asgoodasgoldaustralia 1300 295 833 Adelaide . Melbourne . New York

In this latest discussion, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia interview the legendary Bill Holter, precious metals broker with Miles Franklin. There are many mainstream authors and commentators that are writing about the price of gold and giving their opinions on why gold is moving in a certain direction. They constantly refer to inflation and to whether it is good for gold or bad for gold. They refer to interest rates - once again, is it good for gold or bad for gold? They refer to conflicts in the Ukraine, and now the Middle East, especially Israel. Then they make reference to Central Banks in the East, buying up as much gold as they possibly can. There is however, an absolute lack of reference by mainstream commentators to debt, keeping in mind the US has now accumulated debt to just in excess of $24 trillion with absolutely no debt ceiling to restrict their spending. America is essentially bankrupt - Why is debt not at the top of the list? The BRICs nations have an important meeting scheduled for November 5, 2024. This time, President Putin will head the talks, but before then, he has planned approx. 200 regional conferences, which equate to 5 per week. It is believed that President Putin will be more forceful on implementing a 'Gold Exchange Trading Standard'. What economic impact may this have on a world already under extreme duress? The last phase of the dollar debasement is next! This very final phase of the dollar debasement to zero really started on June 29, 2022. Then the US decided to seize all Russian financial assets. That action was the nail in the coffin (as well as the shot in the foot) of the Petrodollar system. To seize a major sovereign state's (Russia's) assets can never end well, and to then give those assets to an enemy of that state (Ukraine) is guaranteed to seal the fate of the dollar dominant currency system and its backers. The BRICs already has ten members, India, China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Egypt, and Ethiopia. In addition, another thirty countries want to join, including Venezuela. The BRICs produce just under 50% of global oil. But if we look at oil reserves, the existing BRICs plus aspiring members like Venezuela, they have over 20x the oil reserves of the US. Clearly, we are about to see the end of the Petrodollar, and we don't have long to wait. How long do we have? To add to our woes, Bill believes there is a greater than 50/50 chance that the upcoming US election will be abandoned, and its impact would lead to absolute economic chaos. Precious metals icon, Egon von Greyerz confirms that if you are not a gold bug - you had better become one right now, otherwise you will lose everything. You have been warned!

In this most recent interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia chat with the legendary founder and general manager of Matterhorn Asset Management and Gold Switzerland, Egon Von Greyerz. Egon confirms that the world is now witnessing the end of a currency and financial system. Interestingly, the Chinese forecast this in 1971 after Nixon closed the gold window, and we were reminded of von Mises' words of wisdom,"there is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion". History tells us that we have now reached the point of no return. So what's next - where to from here? US Debt to GDP at 130% and sitting at $34 trillion USD Japan's Debt to GDP at 260% BRICS continuing to gather momentum, and in particular the inclusion of Saudi Arabia puts enormous pressure on the US Dollar. Egon provides his viewpoint on all the above. Author, Seamus Bruner has written a new book titled,'Controligarchs - Exposing The Billionaire Class, Their Secrets Deals, And The Globalist Plot To Dominate Your Life'. These men have used the powers of government to seize control over key industries, including food, finance, health care, energy, and the information industry. They want to bring about a renter based economy where you don't own your house or car. They want a subscription based lifestyle. According to Bruner, several solutions exist, including awareness and non-compliance. He discusses ways to opt out of the system, including the ownership of gold. Now more than ever before it is imperative to own gold. Contact Us admin@asgoodasgoldaustralia 1300 295 833 Adelaide . Melbourne . New York

When it comes to liquidating the precious metals products in your SMSF, you can simply sell back to As Good As Gold Australia.

In this latest interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia interview the incomparable Lynette Zang. Last year, the world's demand for gold was 4,899 tonnes, yet the total output by the global mines supply was around 3,200 tonnes. Where did the extra tonnage come from and why didn't we see gold rise above US$2,050 in the process. Just recently, Alasdair Macleod confirmed the Chinese stock market and property markets are in trouble, but the Chinese public are buying gold at close to all-time record highs. In December of 2023, the withdrawals from the Shanghai Gold Exchange were 271 tonnes. That's the second highest monthly withdrawal on record. The highest was 285 tonnes in July 2015 near the $US1,050 low for the gold market - it's doubled since then. Could this be deja vu? Graddhy Trading - a notable and very respected commodities trader out of Sweden said their charts are confirming that since 2020, gold has had six attemtps to breakout against its resistant line, and we know that the more times a resistance gets tested, the more likely it will break. Gold has really consolidated and is forming a huge and perfect bullish breakout. Graddhy is suggesting that gold is on the brink of exploding - so where is gold heading in 2024? Re silver, Graddhy confirms that despite extreme pessimism, silver is coiling for an upside explosion, and that we have the mother of all probable cup and handles, and the bigger the base the bigger in space. Is this silver's time to shine? Jamie Dimon says, 'Washington faces a global market rebellion over record US debt'. He said, 'it is a cliff... we are travelling at 60 mile per hour towards it and the global economy is approaching the point of no return, courtesy of mounting government debt, and it will lead to a massive fallout of markets and federal institutions.' So we've been warned by the CEO of the world's largest bank, but has the warning come too late? admin@asgoodasgoldaustralia 1300 295 833 Adelaide . Melbourne . New York

In this latest interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia interview Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney. In a world of chaos and extreme uncertainty, non-western central banks are buying enormous amounts of gold (eg, 1200 - 1300 tonnes annually) while mining of gold worldwide only produces 3,200 tonnes annually. What are they seeing that the west isn't and why don't Western Central Banks read their history books and take heed? The US, Europe, and especially Japan are all in a massive debt trap. US debt to GDP 126%. Japanese debt to GDP 260%. Could the Bank of Japan be the first to fall over, and what would that do to the price of gold? Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Bank (the largest bank in the US) is now reported as selling one million shares of his own JP Morgan stock (approx. $140 million). Why would he do this if he felt the market was in a good place and he believed the company's prospects were still very strong? Lets remember of course that Jamie Dimon warned us there was an economic hurricane on its way. Some Facts: The Ukraine war - supported by the United States The Israel war - supported by the United States The US Government interest payment is now $980 billion The US GDP growth is only coming from government spending The US financial assets are wildly overpriced Why is gold completely mispriced? Now more than ever before, living in a world with exploding debt, uncontrollable inflation and two wars dominating our attention, it's imperative that we own gold. All Central Banks own gold to protect themselves against currency collapse in this environment. As the great Jim Sinclair always said, if it's good enough for the Central Banks of the world to own gold, then surely it makes sense that you should too? Wise words.

In this interview, Darryl and Brian Panes from As Good As Gold Australia interview financial and precious metals icon, Bill Holter. US bank deposits have reduced by USD$1 Trillion over the twelve months to May of this year, and the public are pulling their cash out at a record pace. Greg Mannarino says that a quiet revolution has begun and people are unbanking themselves. He refers to a quote from the movie ~ Margin Call, 'be first, be smarter'. Could this lead to the banks experiencing a liquidity crisis and what measures may they take in the process? It has been 52 years since President Nixon took the world off the gold standard and we can now see the world debt levels are becoming intolerable. Are the BRICS nations, and in particular, Russia, firmly moving forward with the process of implementing a commodity gold standard. "Debt destroys nations, not just sometimes, but everytime." During President Eisenhower's term from 1953 - 1961, the US experienced an increase in debt of 20 billion dollars or 0.9% per year under a gold standard. During President Barack Obama's term from 2009 - 2017, debt increased by US$8 trillion or 8.75% per year under a fiat currency standard. Now we are hearing from the US treasury department that in the last 6 months of 2023, they will need an extra US$1.8 trillion to pay the bills. What effect will this have on the economic future of the United States? Jim Sinclair has always said, "become your own central bank." Now that many more central banks are purchasing gold at record rates, is this quote of Jim's more applicable now than ever before? Contact Us admin@asgoodasgoldaustralia 1300 295 833 Adelaide .
