Jim Rickards explains in his new book "The Death of Money - The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System" why a US dollar collapse could be coming and why gold would probably emerge at the heart of a new global monetary system as the only money that you can really trust.

Some market commentators are touting gold as a great portfolio diversifier, convincing investors that the precious metal could benefit their portfolio but there may be better alternatives than gold if the motivation is to find a hedge for economic uncertainty or political unrest.

A big short term move in both stocks and gold is probably fairly imminent as periods of extremely low volatility like we are currently experiencing are invariably followed by periods of very high volatility that are brought about by a trigger event of some sort. There will probably be an advance warning somewhere, in a corner of the markets that perhaps isn't widely watched...[so] keep a close eye on these 12 inter-market signals.

I am 100% confident that 1) precious metals will bottom this year and resume a new leg to the upside, 2) the extreme emotions right now regarding gold and silver are typical at major turning points and 3) all the underlying fundamental, cyclical and technical conditions for a new bull market in gold and silver are in place. Here's an update on the latest action in gold, silver, platinum and palladium

Before gold can rally, it has to first turn the trend from down to up. We see no evidence of a change in trend. The bearish spacing is repeated, again, as a reminder that it represents a weak market within its down trend. How anyone can posit a bullish scenario from what the charts show flies in the face of known facts, as depicted in the charts.

The words "sex", "gold" and "collapse" are three of the most googled and, as such, many articles are posted daily on munKNEE.com regarding the future for the price of gold, possible economic and financial collapse and the odd article on sexual behaviour around the world. Below is a summary of a number of such articles.

Most in the United States have no idea of what is to come. They think they have no choice but to follow the herd over the cliff to certain financial death but some will be prompted to make a different choice. Let me explain.

How have the traditional safe havens performed since the great financial crash of 2008/2009? What can we expect from the traditional safe havens going forward? Those are the two questions we try to answer in this article.

Goldman Sachs' 2014 forecast that gold will drop $1,050 by the end of the year (based on the “powerhouse” U.S. economy picking up speed and accelerating growth) would make perfect sense to someone who recently had had a frontal lobotomy or to the 95-99% group of Americans who believe everything coming from the Boob Tube.Why? Because Goldman has more skin in the game to delude Americans of the value of gold - for throwing the paper price of gold under the bus - and below are 2 such reasons for doing so:

...Hype, fear and outdated monetary theories simply aren't enough to support the price of gold. Every finance and economics text book teaches that gold is basically an inflation hedge, and without inflation gold is simply a useless piece of yellow metal. Either the gold bugs are right or the Fed is right, and my money is on the Fed.
