Why Buy Bonds When You Can Buy Gold? – Ep. 178

* I wish everybody a happy July 4th weekend; U.S. markets will be closed

* It's unfortunate that we can't really celebrate all the traditions that we're supposed to be honoring were lost generations ago

* The values our founding fathers risked their lives for have all been lost

* I wanted to comment on what is going on in the markets particularly today

* Today was the capper on the week

* You had silver prices up about a dollar an ounce

* Gold closed up about $19, so gold closed above $1340

* Maybe by the time the market opens on Tuesday silver will be over $20/ounce

* Who knows, maybe gold will be over $1400?

* This is a powerful rally - gold finished at three year highs today

* GDX was up about 5% on the day

* The stock market didn't do that much today, but the real story, other than the gold market is in the bond market

* U.S. Treasury yield plunging again - these are the lowest yields ever

* Certainly below the crash lows

* The yield on the 10-year treasury is below 1.5%

* The yield on the 10-year treasury is 2.24%

* So yields are plunging, bond prices are surging

* What is going on?

* The answer is money printing; Quantitative Easing

* The most recent catalyst being the Brexit vote, which scared the hell out of everybody because of the collapse, particularly of the European banks

* Now the central bankers are rushing to the rescue all around the world
