THERE WILL BE NO DOUBLE DIP…..
by Egon von Greyerz – Matterhorn Asset Management

No, there will be no double dip. It will be a lot worse. The world economy will soon go into an accelerated and precipitous decline which will make the 2007 to early 2009 downturn seem like a walk in the park. The world financial system has temporarily been on life support by trillions of printed dollars that governments call money. But the effect of this massive money printing is ephemeral since it is not possible to save a world economy built on worthless paper by creating more of the same. Nevertheless, governments will continue to print since this

ALEA IACTA EST
by Egon von Greyerz – Matterhorn Asset Management
Yes this is it! We have crossed the Rubicon and events in the world economy are now likely to unfold in a totally uncontrollable fashion. Clueless governments still don’t understand that it is their ruinous actions that have created a credit infested and bankrupt world. They will continue to prescribe the same remedy that caused the problem in the first place, namely more credit and more printed money. The consequences are clear; we will have hyperinflation, economic and human misery as well as social unrest.
When will the world finally begin to understand that we have reached the point of no

SOVEREIGN ALCHEMY WILL FAIL

SOVEREIGN ALCHEMY WILL FAIL
by Egon von Greyerz – Matterhorn Asset Management

When we look at the world economy today, wherever we turn we see a wall of risk. And sadly this is an insurmountable wall with risks that are totally unprecedented in history. There has never before been a potentially catastrophic combination of so many virtually bankrupt major sovereign states (US, UK, Spain, Italy Greece, Japan and many more) and a financial system which is bankrupt but is temporarily kept alive with phoney valuations and unlimited money printing. But governments will soon realise that they are not alchemists who can turn printed paper into gold. The consequences of the global financial

GOLD IS NOT GOING UP – PAPER MONEY IS GOING DOWN
by Egon von Greyerz – Matterhorn Asset Management

This month we will discuss the illusion of gold going up. We will  examine the destiny of the dollar and why it will reach its intrinsic value of zero. We will also demonstrate why money printing will accelerate rapidly in the next 12-24 months.

Paper Money Collapsing against Gold
The problem with paper money is that governments can create unlimited amounts. This is what they have done throughout history and especially in the last 100 years and which has led to the total destruction of most currencies. Most people don’t even understand that their government

GOLD IS NOW UNDERWRITTEN BY CHINA

Friday, September 11th, 2009

There is really only one government in the world that understands the virtues of gold – China. Not only is the country buying all the gold that they can without pushing the price up but they are also encouraging the Chinese people via the media to buy gold and silver.

Power corrupts
Let us first look at the US and ex Fed Chairman Greenspan to demonstrate how sound individuals become totally corrupt and dishonest once they become politicians. (Yes, the chairman of the Fed is political position which permits no integrity).
In 1966 Greenspan wrote an essay – “Gold and Economic Freedom”- in which he spells out the importance of gold.   Here is
