James Rickards: $15,000 Gold & $100 Silver Coming

Rickards says this will be a process that will take almost two decades, and the U.S. will need 4% inflation to do it. This is why Rickards thinks gold and silver will go much higher in the coming years. Rickards also says the central banks are net buyers of gold and will continue to be. He says everybody should have gold and silver in their portfolios and points out he does not sell any precious metals.
