Well, our leaders are MUCH to smart for that.

Hyperinflation could NEVER happen in America.

I’m curious, does anyone know what happens to interest rates in hyperinflation times?

Suppose before the inflation the bank savings rate was 5% per year, and the borrowing rate was 6%. What happens to those numbers?

Buy gold now then buy silver when gold rises. The key is to know when to sell. Holding all the gold you can get doesn't mean much if you don't monetize it. Unless, of course, you don't need the cash and want to keep it to pass down.

Right now it's all a crap shoot, and the dice won't stop rolling until election day. If we get a disaster redux then the metals will soar. If we get a new team then they will drop. Tough call to make right now.

A most excellent and informative post. Too bad stuff like this isn’t taught in our schools. An injection of reality like this would make for a better citizenry.
