A Holmes is on the case - not Sherlock, but Frank?

Analyst Frank Holmes' writings were picked up by Agora Financial and their 5 Minute Forecast. Here is what he said: “Our experience shows that whenever you have deficit spending, rapid money supply growth and negative real interest rates (inflation rate higher than nominal interest rate), gold will perform exceptionally well in that currency. Right now, we’re seeing massive deficits, negative real interest rates in the U.S. and a worldwide debt problem that is projected to get bigger.

“We have long recommended, based on regressional analyses, that prudent investors consider an allocation to gold -- not to get rich, but as a way to diversify assets and protect wealth.”

Amen to that! Did you catch that? An inflation hedge. A gold inflation hedge. Physical gold. The safe haven. There are many ways to say it! Buy gold!
