Gold stocks are now trading as though peace, prosperity, balanced budgets, and the repudiation of fiat currencies were about to break out across the globe, sending the metal back to $1,000 per ounce in the very near future. Given the stagflation conditions in the developed world, however, and governments’ proclivity to use money printing in order to jump-start an economy, it may be wise to take advantage of the current discount being offered on mining shares.

People don’t know where to put their money. [Those from Europe] don’t trust the euro system -- they think the wheels might come off. They are buying physical gold. They are not buying equities. They are buying real estate and they are buying gold.
