    1. this guy is a deluded silver pumper with poor history of any credible predictions, he is pumping silver price for the last decade promising triple digit silver every year, would not pay much attention to him

    2. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun.

    3. The ratio of ounces of gold to houses can change by either entity moving in value relative to the other. Therefore houses could decline in value to reduce the number of ounces of gold it takes to purchase a house without gold changing its value or gold could increase in value and house prices could remain the same as now, or any combination of the two. Gold going up in price is just one possibility but maybe it is the most likely, who knows? Predicting the future is extremely difficult and if achieved correctly is mostly due to luck.

    4. Incorrect – every time the 10 year / 2 year yield curve inverted did not lead to a recession – however every time there was a recession it did follow a 10/2 yield curve inversion.

    5. Let's just cut all this debating about Fed GOONS. Along with central banksters around the world, including the BIS, they should ALL be terminated and markets set free from their morbid death grip. The Fed and other central banks can't CONTROL markets. Healthy markets are free and open places for human transactions. Centralisation is NOT conducive to FREE human activity. Central banksters are control freaks who've taken power away from We The People by nefarious, underhand means. Their unbacked fiat currencies are a fraud on We The People, who took their bait. Now we're seeing consequences. The Fed & other banksters have their own agenda, which is NOT for the good of We The People. The sooner we bring bankster GOONS to account for their crimes against humanity, the better. Justice seen to be done is required for clear understanding and instruction of We The People in the dangers of allowing The Evil One to trick us into taking wrong paths.

    6. Thank you, David, for having Jeff on. I really enjoyed the interview. A lot of good back and forth with some interesting commentary on where Gold is heading. I really loved the Babylon Bee reference regarding the Fed Chair's comments.

    7. Why can’t Kitco just state the fact we ARE in a recession. 2 quarters of negative growth is the definition.
      With inflation the economic contraction is actually closer to 15% a year.

    8. SPIKE's COMING! SHORT SELLERS WILL LOSE LOTS OF $$!! Not about the MARKET. It's long squeeze, SHORT SQUEEZE against retail investors so rich get richer. TV's CLOWNS promote fear while buying. After a while bad news is a good for smart investors.

    9. Credit Card liquidity will soon dry up as banks reduce credit limits and increase rates to reduce losses from consumer defaults. Buckle up for a great rise in free food demand at food pantries and when that dries up, theft and pilaging at your local super markets. Starving families is not a “good look” for politicians.

    10. The only “Tools” that the FED has are their employees making bad decisions. Dump this Keynesian System, end the FED, and return the country to Constitutional “Real Money” gold and silver.

    11. The Fed FR is at 1.5-1.75. The Fed needs to get that to at least 3.25-3.5. Do they have time prior to a market collapse and a deep recession? I don’t know. I do know that 1.5% or more should be planned for through the remainder of 2022.

    12. We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a
      catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated.If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

    13. I mean… We're already in a recession AND we already have high inflation. Gold ain't doing shit. These guys been saying the same shit for years, and when it peaked out last time, they still said it was going higher.

    14. Haha, and first I thought it was Jeff (Christian), because on my phone the title cut off after "…Jeff…" 😂
      Happy it's Jeff Clark
