Gold is a China Story & What Happens When the West Starts Buying: Steve Hanke

Steve Hanke points out that the vast majority of retail and speculative positions in the gold market are coming out of China. Steve believes the fundamentals for the metal are very solid and while Eastern buying has kicked off phase one of the current bull market, phase two will be ignited when the West catches on. Steve also discusses the failures of the green energy revolution, the absurd capital gains tax in Canada, Javier Milei's scorecard so far, and much more.

At present, the most prudent consideration for everyone should be diversifying their income sources, ones not reliant on government support, particularly given the ongoing global economic challenges. This remains an opportune moment to explore investments in assets like gold, silver, digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, thanks to Flora Elkin for her guidance in these fields her proficiency is outstanding

[@alfredjones3984]

I've just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this.

It is really refreshing to see a comment about Flora Elkin.I have worked with her also for months now, reached out after reading more about her on the internet. she simplifies matters, whether it's a market surge or drop; her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the trend, She's a guru i'll say

State capitalism uses state power and a regulated, controlled economy to benefit share holders along with or at the expense of other interests. Socialism puts ownership in the hands of the state and expropriates share holders. Both systems are suboptimal, and as the state gets more involved in capitalism, the outcomes of state capitalism and socialism are similar.

[@tatagata6268]

@@drmodestoesq Even German tv usually a mouthpiece of the government says excess mortality rate (from all causes) in Sweden was the lowest in the EU. Obviously statistics are open to interpretation. They had more Covid deaths. The question follows: What is a covid death? If somebody with a remaining life expectancy of 3 months dies during a Covid infection, what ist the main cause? Weak heart? As Steve said , you have to put the Covid risk in perspective, We have around 3000 deaths because of traffic in Germany and estimated 10 000 to 20000 deaths due to hospital infections. Should we close the hospitals and ban cars? By the way every test has false positives, say 5%. If you test all deaths like they did in Italy you get "Covid deaths" from the false positives.

[@hl3493]

Milei couldn't dollarize because there simply weren't enough dollar reserves in the country, Hanke should know that. Milei doesn't want to actively dollarize anymore, that's true, but the introduced freedom to pay thing in whatever currency you like - peso, bitcoin, dollar. Hence, since the confidence in the peso is low, people will prefer other means of pay and the peso will start to loose importance and perhaps dissapear totally. Thats much better than Argentina giving up it monetary sourverignity.

[@DonRua]

Misconception of Canadian Capital Gains Tax There's a common misconception that the government now takes 66 cents of every dollar made in capital gains. This is incorrect. Under the old system, 50% of the capital gain was taxable. For example, if you bought a property for $400,000 and sold it for $700,000, you made a $300,000 gain. Half of this, $150,000, was considered profit for taking the risk, and the other half was taxable income. If you had $100,000 room for RRSP contributions, you would be taxed on $50,000, resulting in approximately $15,000 in taxes on a $300,000 gain. Under the new system, two-thirds of the gain is taxable. This means $200,000 of the $300,000 gain is taxable. With the same $100,000 RRSP contribution, you now have a $100,000 taxable income, leading to approximately $35,000 to $40,000 in taxes on a $300,000 gain.

[@CommodityCulture]

Yes I'm aware of this but you're right, it is a misconception I see floating around on social media.

[@rk4126]

Bull… the only businesses left in Canada are those that had to be local, like construction, medical and other services. So… this tax increase will punish those and it could be beneficial to population en large… except it all will be wasted/transferred to government affiliated cronies. That’s all it is. Another money grab
