The Sterling Stamos Moment Opens Hell's Floodgate

Institutional Money Now Flooding Into Gold

A currency's price in gold is the canary in the coal mine. Institutional money is having a Sterling Stamos Moment. They've spotted the biggest Ponzi scheme in global economic history and as a resut have reached down into the rat hole. Redemption time. Those risked funds are now flooding into gold. The currency fall, as all past currency falls that litter history, will be parabolic events when priced in the world's only long lasting currency—gold.
