wakeup-world.com Big Pharma and Organized Crime — They Are More Similar Than You May Think By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World “It is scary how many similarities there are between this [pharmaceutical] industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry …” ~ former Vice-President of Pfizer pharmaceuticals ¹

Gold price = confirmation bias problem. Everything points in favor of a higher price of gold except..........the price! Gold bugs by definition think gold is going to the sky. People who aren't gold bugs just don't care. So the downside gets little discussion. Gold just sits there and does nothing. No return on investment. Nothing. Just an unreactive, amorphous blob of reality on which people imprint their own imaginations for the future. When they have got old and died, the blob of reality just sits there, mute. Warren Buffett has the right idea. I have tried to get worked up about gold and came close in 2001 to the extent of going to a firm in Auckland and ogling their bars of gold and discussing price.

FWIW: Armstrong answers this by saying that basically when it comes to POG everyone is watching the wrong things (example: QE doesn't matter) and the only thing that matters is the confidence or lack thereof in the government. And he believes that there is a tipping point below a certain level of government confidence where major gold moves take place. So inflation itself doesn't matter, but a government's inability to control inflation will likely result in lower confidence which does matter... armstrongeconomics.com

believe the boyz would keep buying the physical since it is so cheap, and that rates shall head down rather than up, even as paper money shall cheapen relative to each other in sequence and repeat sequence ft.com China gold reserves climb for sixth month in May June 10, 2019 China increased its gold purchases for the sixth month running in May, taking its total reserves to 1,916 tonnes, while the country’s foreign exchange holdings defied expectations for a fall. The People’s Bank of China bought 15.6 tonnes of the precious metal last month, according to the central bank. The country has accumulated 74 tonnes of the precious metal since the end of November, when it initially began ramping up purchases, according to Refinitiv data. The value of its reserves have risen to $79.8bn as US-China trade tensions have rumbled on. Jeremy Lawson, chief economist at Aberdeen Standard Investments, said that gold has not typically served as the same store of value in China as in the US or some emerging markets like India. But he added it would make sense for China to diversify its holdings “if they are preparing for a world of more uncertainty”. China’s foreign reserves rose to $3.01tn in May, $6bn higher than the previous month, according to the central bank. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast reserves would fall by $5bn.
