Without a doubt, monetary inflation (Blue Plot / Rising CinC) has outperformed both blue chip and gold mining shares since 1920. Unfortunately, benefitting from rising CinC is the preserve of Washington and Wall Street, not people like...
The Dow Jones ended the week at a new historic all-time high. In late 1999, this news would have greatly excited the media and investing public, but fourteen years later, there are scant signs of excitement that the Dow Jones has...
