Experts Predict “Mild” Recession

Experts are predicting what they refer to as a “Mild” recession to begin the 2024 year. That story is here.

Meanwhile, tensions between growth and inflation continue to threaten the US economy. That story, and the broader threat of a global recession are here. 

Smart investors continue to prepare for the worst, buying alternative commodities like precious metals.

World Conflict, WWIII

President Trump claims to be the savior for the US on the brink of WWIII. That story is here.

Meanwhile, the liberals are doing everything they can to keep Trump off the ballot. That story, from a liberal publication, is here.

Most experts would agree that these efforts to stymie Trump will likely succeed only in rallying the conservative base and likely will be overturned at the US Supreme Court level.

Savvy readers already have a firm opinion on this topic and are keeping powder dry. No reader is surprised that gold’s popularity would rise during global tensions.

Gold Remains Steady

As the Fed contemplates rate cuts, gold remains steady. That story is here. 

Gold remains up for the 2023 year, and those that bought early in 2023 are reaping the rewards. That story is here. 

BB’s motto: Strategic holdings in gold make sense. Especially when kept safe in a vault.

Do you remember when?

Here's a little 1950's nostalgia:

“He knows Ritz crackers are richer, crispier and his mouth is full or he’d help us whisper, only Nabisco makes Ritz.”

-Ritz Crackers
