Financial writer and book author John Rubino warns, ““Pretty much the only way out for central banks is they will have to devalue their currency aggressively to keep the debts from blowing up on us and completely destroying the financial system. That is a great environment for gold. It will become more and more apparent to people going forward. . . . As you add to your position (in gold and silver), the big trend will be positive for you. . . . Debt is continuing to soar . . . and that is continuing and accelerating right now. So, if the big bad trend is accelerating, then the big bad result of that trend is getting closer and closer, but timing is impossible to predict. . . . When this thing really begins to spin out of control, it’s too late to protect yourself. . . .You really hope you don’t end up in a world where gold is $10,000 per ounce because that is a bad world in a lot of ways. If that is no longer just a possibility but a probability, you need to protect yourself in some way. That’s what precious metals do.”
