James Grant, editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, is urging investors to put their money in gold because he fears that the world will lose faith in central banks, or as he terms it “monetary management.”

We're hurdling toward a massive financial crisis, and all we have to show for it are financial asset bubbles destined to burst, and when they do, they'll wipe out the artificial wealth they've created for many decades in just a few years, as they did from late 1929 into late 1932!

I believe it is too late to reverse the tidal wave of our financial system’s failure that has been brewing for three decades now. As such, in the next few weeks, an election event will take place that I believe could trigger major volatility ending in a market crash - a speculator implosion.

A decisive break above $1,400 an ounce could be just around the corner and, to my mind, would signal the start of gold’s next major advance.

The price of an average (benchmark) home in Vancouver, Canada is $1,400,000 which is 30.1% higher than it was a year ago. Yes, 30.1%!

We never seem to know what that'll be, but experienced money managers usually get the heebeejeebies just before it happens -and that's what is happening these days.

I’m here with a major warning — a warning about hidden signs of surging credit stress. In fact, I haven’t seen these kinds of dangerous credit market moves since the weeks and months leading up to the great credit crisis.

The Fed is considering raising its inflation target above 2% annually. This shift pushes the FOMC in a dovish direction and will reduce the market odds of interest rate hikes this year. It is positive news for the gold market.
