Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.

      No, the value of gold in a fiat world will fluctuate constantly. But, In a world where currencies are pegged to a set value, then, by definition, the value will not fluctuate. Back in the early twentieth century, a double eagle was 20 dollars. Another way of saying that is that a dollar was worth 1/20 of an ounce of gold. It did not fluctuate. But, the value of gold in fiat dollar terms fluctuates minute by minute.

    Kaplan sold his oil/energy company at the peak price back in 2007. Kaplan now got into gold in a big way at possibly the best time in history to be in it. Gold is now a tier 1 asset in 2023. It will soon be the backstop for revaluation of a new reserve basket of currencies. In so doing, it will most likely enjoy a 15x increase in purchasing power that time.
    Kaplan is either very lucky or very well 'informed'. This is the man to emulate in investment strategies as much as possible.

That’s because the yuan has no real value outside of China. So, in reality, there’s no abandonment of the US dollar. That’s because there’s nothing to replace it, yet.

    It was only since during d time of u.s. Pres. Nixon that a gold reserve was not the base standard on the federal reserve but a printed u.s.dollar bill became the bench mark of trade n currency. In that way can a monopoly of a certain private financial cartel can have a grip of control in a global scale. If this thing collapse because of volatility an unavoidable economic downturn will happen it will lead to a need to get back to a genuine gold reserve note in enable each central banks to print their currency base on the standard gold reserved deposits.

If you have a very large investment in the markets and can afford to, it would not be a bad idea to have as much as 30% percent invested in to registered gold bars or the equivalent. Take care that gold does not earn dividends.
    If you look at the price chart (graph of the gold price) over the last 10 years, you will see the value of gold in percent of value gain, performed better than the TSE or the DOW.
