Whether Inflation or Deflation, Gold Wins

By James Turk | Gold, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 24 January, 2025

In January 1934, the dollar was devalued against gold by 69% when the US federal government arbitrarily changed the definition of the dollar. What had been 23.22 grains of fine gold ($20.67 per ounce; $0.66 per goldgram) was suddenly cheapened with the stroke of President Franklin Roosevelt’s pen to 13.71 grains of gold ($35 perRead more

Is Gold Overvalued?

By James Turk | Articles, Gold, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 20 August, 2024

Gold may seem overvalued because of the recent record highs in its 6-decade ascent from $35 to $2500, but prices – like appearances – can be deceiving. What’s more, the value of any asset is more important than its price. Price and value are too often conflated, which is a mistake. An asset’s price andRead more

Rising Fear Always Sends Gold Soaring

By James Turk | Articles, Gold, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 24 July, 2024

Monetary and banking crises are a recurring event. Sometimes their impact is contained, like occurred when three California banks collapsed in early 2023. Other times – like the Great Depression – the fallout can be calamitous. Large or small, these crises are inevitable and unavoidable. This observation is not only undeniable from even a cursoryRead more

Heading Toward Another U.S. Government Default

By James Turk | Articles, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 24 October, 2023

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises, 1926. The financial position of the federal government of the United States has been gradually deteriorating for decades. It is now rushing headlong to the financial tipping point that will cause it to default onRead more

A Century of Fascism

By James Turk | Articles, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 31 August, 2022

In 1922 Benito Mussolini became prime minister of Italy, putting that country on a path that had global ramifications. He was the world’s first fascist leader. Other fascists soon followed with fanciful promises that were varied but tuned in to what people wanted to hear. Their problems would be solved, whether the restoration of order,Read more

House Price Fallacies

By James Turk | Articles, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 24 May, 2022

Some interesting data on housing prices in the United Kingdom(1) was recently published by Savills, one of the world’s leading property agents. The important messages that can be drawn from this data apply globally, namely, that fiat currency has a clear and direct impact on prices that can lead to a variety of misconceptions aboutRead more

Looking At the Value of Silver

By James Turk | Market Commentaries, Silver | Comments are Closed | 16 March, 2022

Silver continues to underperform gold, but I believe that is about to change. It may happen as soon as this week after the Federal Reserve announces its half-hearted effort to control inflation by raising interest rates only .25% or .50%. Based on last Friday’s closing prices, it took 76 ounces of silver to equal theRead more

The Origin of Bitcoin

By James Turk | Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 9 February, 2022

It was not long after the internet began appealing to a wide audience with the adoption of browsers in the late 1990s that virtual currency appeared in online gaming. The potential of virtual currency opened a world of new possibilities, and entrepreneurs acted. Capitalism creates new products to replace those when they fail to provideRead more

My Perspective on Money and Liberty

By James Turk | Books, Market Commentaries | Comments are Closed | 6 January, 2022

Several people have asked why I wrote Money and Liberty: In the Pursuit of Happiness & The Theory of Natural Money while others requested some insight about its content. My objective was to explain why: gold is money and not an ‘investment’, which is not well understood these days, even among many in the goldRead more

MONEY AND LIBERTY

collapse_of_the_dollar_james_turk
“James Turk’s background is in banking and asset markets, not academic economics where careers are made on the promotion of institutional dogma often divorced from reality. This practical stance informs his book throughout, with much material that gets to the heart of the matter, and has stood the test of experience. Money and Liberty delivers plenty of core knowledge, from a practitioner involved in these topics for decades.” Forbes
