Schiff Says Investors Have Too Much Confidence in Central Banks
As the Fed’s monetary policies and mistakes come to light and the central banks continue to artificially suppress interest rates, the drop in the value of fiat currencies will drive people to seek out better alternatives, like gold, to preserve their wealth.
While we are seeing the beginnings of investor interest in the precious metals, Schiff says they are still heavily undervalued. According to Schiff, investors have too much confidence in the central banks:
“[Investors] have no idea how much value the dollar and other fiat currencies will lose in terms of purchasing power…if they did, they would be buying a lot more gold and the price would be much higher than where it is now.”
As a result, Schiff believes gold prices are headed much higher than current levels and could reach levels higher than $5000/oz.
Gold and Silver Still Significantly Under-Owned
Hedge Fund Crescat Capital says gold, silver and mining stocks are still significantly under-owned despite the precious metals being the best hedge against an overdue stock market sell-off and the upcoming economic downturn.
“Precious metals are one of the few pockets of this market offering tremendous value to hedge against extreme monetary policies, bursting asset bubbles, and record global leverage…Gold is the ultimate form of money with a long history of storing value for investors and outperforming risk assets during market downturns. In our view, a new awareness of global fiat currency debasement policies is now in its early stages. ”
For investors, Crescat believes gold should become a core asset.
