We used to mock the Japanese for creating a plethora of Zombie Banks at the start of their two lost decades, but it appears that the American and European governments wish to walk down the same path of morbidity into the exact same fiduciary land of the living dead.
Rick Rule talks to Eric King about this situation, its significance, and how he thinks it will play out with the superior American technology of counterfeiting now ‘coming to the rescue’ of the ECB.
Obviously, Eric King brings his guest around to the gold and silver mining industry, but Mr Rule actually gives us some good advice on how to avoid being caught up the market frenzy that will take place, once gold really starts to take off, which you’ll know about when your taxi driver starts trying to take his fares in your gold jewellery:
