If you have not read any of James Grant’s books, you are missing out. I’ve literally stopped in my tracks and wondered if he’s the smartest man alive. His book on myths and fables is absolutely astonishing in its depth of research. His book The Trouble With Prosperity was my first, and I’ve read it 3 times. History of Lending Since The Civil War is a must read for anyone in Finance. I’m a Grants subscriber, and have worked in finance for 31 years.

Grant for Fed Chair!

Thanks for the video! However, I just don't get the 4.2% annualized return of gold. It does not pay you a dividend or income and does not even hold its value as well as a block of cheese or a bottle of wine.

Only 4 million words. Modest

Thanks for your video, very informative.

Looking back you will remember that gold was very inexpensive before the Y2K moment. It has done very well since then and I think we are about to have another moment. Is palladium the new gold or is it the lanthanum series and the actinide series? 😮

[@jamespier7801]

the man sings a one-note song. if you’ve listened to his advice for 40 years, what good has it done you?

[@user-mp9pi3kf6g]

Your about to find out the hard way!

[@radicalaccounting]

I agree with his in many ways but the problem with gold for the small investor is that it's 10% on the buy and sell side, both, Never again.

[@ednan9]

Gold 😂

No talk about the egregious deficit spending of the Fed Govt. The Original FED law restricted it from buying govt debt. The corruption of Lifting that restriction destroyed the economic polity. All this was enabled by the Constitutional change allowing direct election of Senators which shifted power to the central govt.

[@gstlb]

So what did you think about what he *did* say?😊

[@klovacka]

40 YEARS THIS GUY HAS BEEN WRONG OLD MAN SCREAMING AT MARKETS FOR 40 YEARS RESULT. HIGHER & HIGHER WE GO IN EQUITIES.

[@ednan9]
