Jim Willie Interviews Mark O'Byrne - Prepare Now For Global Financial Crisis II

February 20, 2019 / news.goldseek.com / Article Link

- Jim Willie interviews Mark O'Byrne of GoldCore about the slowly erupting Global Financial Crisis II and the importance of being financially prepared but also "psychologically prepared"

- "Not a single thing has been fixed" and vitally important people prepare now for the "next phase" of the currency wars and the global financial crisis which is set to impact financial markets, stocks, bonds, banks (what happened to Wells Fargo last week?) and bankrupt governments in the UK, EU and US

- The Global Monetary RESET will see the "Third World" dollar sharply devalued and paper wealth and assets including stocks, corporate and government bonds become much more volatile and risky

- US Treasuries are no longer a risk free asset as the United States will either "formally default or restructure" the $22 trillion US debt and the $100 trillion to $200 trillion of unfunded government liabilities

- Gold coins and bars are the primary store of value in the coming Currency Wars and the Cashless Society, especially given the likelihood of COMEX gold defaults and collapse of the LBMA unallocated gold market says Mark O'Byrne

- Jim Willie on the coming radical changes in the global gold market and reversion to physical price discovery and new pricing involving premiums on physical gold (kilo gold bars) in major gold trading, storage and liquidity centres such as Zurich, Mumbai, Singapore, Shanghai etc

- Asset allocation and the case for having much higher allocations to gold and silver as safe haven dollar and Treasuries are questioned due to the "Third World finances" of the U.S. Jim Willie recommends higher allocations to physical precious metals and says tongue in cheek, "more like 40% in gold and the rest in silver"

- Key facts about owning gold and silver coins and bars, premiums on gold and silver bullion, the safest vaults and the safest jurisdictions or countries in the world

- Importance of having actual gold & silver coins and bars in your possession or having outright legal ownership of physical bullion in allocated and segregated storage, in bailment and in your name

- Global Financial Crisis II is "going to be much, much bigger" ... prepare now
