Anyone who believes in infinite growth on a finite planet is either mad....or an economist....Paper money is like an IOU..it is the representation of resources, not the resource itself, keep printing IOUs and their value will decrease...Gold is the actual resource and as such cannot decrease in value....Money keeps getting printed, so the paper money to real gold ratio keeps increasing......The price of gold therefore MUST go up over the long term :D

[@OffGridInvestor]

coz its cheap. personally I am going nuts on silver. they didn't learn the heard lessons they should have learnt in the GFC, just stickytaped it up and moved on like a golddigger after a divorce. wait until there is a shakeup in china due to all the "ghost cities" they built and can't sell. and their "shadow banking system" goes and disappears (with certain people fleeing overseas with whatever cash is left) and leaves everyone high and dry. or the US debt crisis FINALLY reaches a head. or the euro debt crisis reaches a head. or britain leaves the EU. or BRICS releases its new currency. or the interest rate goes up and causes the derivatives market to tank (that's if things get BETTER). either way there is going to be hell to pay due to these bankers not REALLY fixing the problems. at THAT POINT I will be buying stuff from bankruptcy auctions at 5 cents on the dollar (already can get stuff there at 20-25 cents on the dollar and that's when people ARE buying) when the price of silver has gone up several fold. it will be great to be the only bidder at these bankruptcy auctions. I'll be there thinking "LOOKS WHO'S LAUGHING NOW BITCHES".

[@samiamcramer4truth]

Gold and silver is the only real money. Constitution still states all monies SHALL be coined in gold and silver. They have hood winked us with the federal reserve. They are bank notes!

Look at how she smiled when she asked the first question "Are you concerned about this _drop_ in gold??" Lady... you have no idea how concerned I am, ABOUT STACKING MORE!!

[@camerontaylor209]

Also, I love how everyone started calling the metal drop a "correction", yet not a single person who does so can cite a reasonable explaination for why such a massive drop occured. It was not because of "weak chinese manufacturing data" and it was not because of "the fed considering tapering"... neither of these things can account for a nearly 20% drop. So if it was a "correction" and not a manipulation of sorts, give me a cause? And why was physical demand so huge afterward?

[@evelynn4273]

Bloomberg Blondie: I've heard these things can be manipulated in the short term. But what about what's happening RIGHT NOW? SHOULD WE PANIC?!!

[@Timzactive]

Don't understand why you are asking me this? I simply said Gold was down -13% YTD. Never said why. My guess is because the global economic outlook is turning positive so people are looking for better investments, i.e equities both home and abroad. People fled to Gold during the crisis because it is a commodity of historic value, thus demand goes up, price went up. Not to hard to figure out bruh.

[@kaptainkanada4363]

You are 100% right on all points; well said.

[@Dougie085]

The price fluctuates based on the value of the dollar, If the dollar is down it takes more of them to buy an ounce of gold, if the dollar is up it takes less of them to buy an ounce of gold, the value of gold it self is stable it's the currencies instability that fluctuates not the gold value.

[@Funnypandalonies]

When people stop buying gold the price will go down. prices go up or down depending on the demand of the product. So people might have stopped buying for a while because the price was so high and money is tight. that temporary lack of demand can temporarily impact the product. so it goes down for a few weeks than shoots up when people start trying to grab it at it's lowest.

[@gildobacci4996]

Spread the message, Ron Paul is truth

[@oisindayo]

I held on to my gold despite the minor drop in value and I'm not worried at all. Gold is a long term investment and it always rises in value over time. It's far more stable than the dollar or any other fiat currency for that matter. At least I know I won't actually lose money in the long term.

[@rplanet86]

[@Looneyy786]

[@andreescu2013]

I feel you Victor, he changed so many of us.

[@ejdean85]

No... it's the deflation of the dollar that yields a lower cost per unit of Gold. Deflation preceeds hyperinflation. We are currently in that state. They are keeping the lid on things with QE and interest rates. Gold, similar to oil is primarily exchanged with U$D.

[@christophernstjohn20]

what should be done?

[@dwigraha1197]

the real problem with paper money is it can be tempered in terms of power to buy. Support by the fact of inflation, it clearly state that money has become of less value because of it's shear replication done by the central banking system without real asset such as gold to backup the value. Obviously by pointing out the short period fall of gold value in comparison with the never ending decline of value of money shown as inflation is ridiculous. A lot of respect for Ron Paul btw!! ^U^.

[@puppetsock]

If Ron could cure himself of that little giggle he punctuates his speeches with, he would sound a lot more convincing.

Gold has consistent buying power. Thousands of years of proven buying power. That says everything that needs to be.

[@LibertyDefender84]

couple of points: 1) Gold had about a 30% correction in 2008 from about $1000 to $700 and it still finished the year positive and went on to make new highs. 2) The hosts act as if anyone who owns gold is stupid because it fell by 30%. In late 2008 and early 2009, the stock market fell over 50%. It's only now just marginally higher than it was in 2007 and not a whole lot higher than it was in 2000 either. By comparison over the last 5 or 10 years, gold wins hands down!

[@eddiejansen3771]

Fantastic video

[@tantalisinglabrat]

Game of Thrones:Season 2 before the battle of Blackwater - : Bronn asks Tyrion if he has ever been in a city under siege. He states that it starts when the thieves buy up all the available food. It ends with the rich ladies lining up to buy a crust of bread with their remaining jewels, gold and fine linen.The thieves become very rich men. Gold will always be the safety net. but lets not forget it is also easy for a corrupt government to legislate against personal possession as happened pre 1929

[@IMMAEDEDDNEDDY]

You don't seem to realize that any economic system, such as ours, has its time of highs and lows. Inflation is a good thing as it controls the costs/demand/supply of items in the market, but not without its negatives. Too high can make things very expensive, while too low make things worthless.

[@rehamrick1290]

Ron Paul is such a badass

[@kaptainkanada4363]

Gold is the medium of exchange that has lasted throughout history. It is an excellent one because you can't make it like fiat currency -- the alchemists tried to do so in the middle ages -- and there is a limited, fixed amount of it on this planet. When the printing presses print "money" it just postpones the inevitable -- a collapse of the US$ -- and that day those who hold gold and silver will be able to buy food.

[@cedricerleward]

CORRECTION TO MY POST: 'in WHAT quantity it will be exchanged for any other item or service.

[@rnegoro1]

If oil went down to under $30, gold also can drop. Gold is equated with safety now, but deflation is setting in, so..... Not exactly safe.

[@intatintat2021]

THIS IS THE PROBLEM Most people don't have financial education that is why most people don't understand the VALUE OF PHYSICAL GOLD. ETF GOLD ARE FAKE GOLD PRICES...Thank you RON PAUL.

[@ChitranjanBaghiofficial]

and we are watching the same happening now a days after covid.

[@camerontaylor209]

Just to point it out... it is in fact true that most standard measures of inflation have been changed in the last 5 years in various phases - mainly in regards to the proportionate impact of staple food and energy prices. While the government has been in the market for well over 70 years, the extent and sophistication of their involvement has most certainly been increasing, again in various phases. Both of these things are easily confirmed through research. Generalizing represents ignorance.

[@maxdecphoenix]

I don't agree with some of your specifics, but with your overall message, I do. If I can't eat it, it has no value.

[@daniellemoreau3201]

[@raytvmy]

come on guys, how hard is it to understand what money is? the real reason behind that gold is much better than paper money/digital money is that you need to put in real energy/effort to create gold, thus with money on gold standard, its start giving money the intrinsic value. currently, the only intrinsic value of money is coming from interest rates that is not even control by the market but private cartels.

[@noyb154]

The dollars value has NOTHING to do with its relationship to other fiat currencies value, which is what EVERYONE measures its values by. It has EVERYTHING to do with the purchasing power of the dollar, and THAT only goes in one direction: DOWN. The dollar has lost almost 95% of its purchasing power since our central bank started printing it. What has gold done?

[@essenmeinstuff]

Gold is not the be all and end all of currency. I agree with Dr paul on a lot of things WRT to the FED etc, but I don't agree with returning to the gold standard. The value of gold is really only one lay of abstraction above paper money (oh shiny stuff), the question that needs to be asked, with gold, if money does return to the gold standard, who owns all the gold? The very people that run the fed... So it'd be like jumping from the pot into the fire.

[@charlessmith4381]

What are they saying about stock prices today? All assets have pricing cycles. Much depends on the Fed and the money printer. All of which creates a boom/bust cycle and depends on inflation. Dr Paul the only correct about how bad the fiat system really is.

Also The BLS develops annual Consumer Expenditure Surveys and Point-of-Purchase Surveys, so they have the flexibility to monitor changing buying habits in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Plus, the census conducted every 10 years by the Census Bureau provides information that enables the BLS to reselect a new geographic sample that accurately reflects the current population distribution and other demographic factors. In other words you are completely wrong and ignorant.

[@The_Laureate]

False. Gold has intrinsic value, it is expected to reach $5,000 in 2 years. A market correction does nothing to gold, it will always be a valuable commodity.
