[Outsider Club logo] Gold, Inflation, and You [Adam English Photo] By [Adam English]( Written Nov. 12, 2019 Here is a little dose of reality for all of those inflation naysayers out there: - 76% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. - 65% of Americans say they don't own their homes. - 53% of Americans have no money in the stock market, even through retirement accounts. Together, these three depressing facts mean a vast majority of Americans have seen their wealth and income crushed by inflation. Your wealth needs to have grown over 210% over the last 30 years to have outpaced inflation. Unless you have owned your home for 30 years or heavily invest a large portion of income in the stock market, there is little chance you have experienced anything close. [Historic “Gold Cross” Means the Next Supercycle Is Beginning: Buy These Three Tiny Stocks Now]( If you bought a home in 1989, on average the appreciation falls just short of keeping up with inflation. Right off the bat, we know a third didn't do that. And the real number is much higher. Considering a 30-year mortgage is the longest you'll find, only 35% of U.S. homeowners don't have mortgage debt, and home value is the dominant form of wealth for a vast majority of homeowners, we can infer that a majority of Americans have seen their total wealth trail well behind inflation. The S&P 500 is up around 785% over 30 years before accounting for inflation, which effectively halves the return. We know 53% didn't ride that wave. Yet again, the real number is much higher because many had no meaningful wealth invested. The average head of a household in the U.S.A. only has $12,000 stashed away for retirement. That leaves income as the major source of wealth creation for well over half of Americans, which is clearly the case considering 76% live paycheck-to-paycheck. Check out this graph to see how stunningly depressing life has been for Americans over the last 30 years: [30yr inflation vs real wages] [The Gold Bull Run Begins]( Gold is currently over $1,500 per ounce. And our in-house gold guru Nick Hodge believes this is a sign of a bull run. He’s nailed winner after winner, like: - 489% in Azucar Minerals - 371% in Almaden Minerals - 322% in Ivanhoe Mines - 531% in K92 Mining And he netted a 143.70% gain from Atlantic Gold just a few months ago. Nick takes a bolder stance on gold than the rest of those so-called gold “experts.” Taking it a step further, he also has a gold stock opportunity of the decade that can land investors fortunes. And what’s best? Nick is giving away gold to a select subscriber once a month — for FREE! An opportunity to make triple-digit gains AND win free gold? You can’t miss this.

Effectively, anyone dependent on wages has seen his or her purchasing power drop by half. According to official U.S. government data, annual inflation has grown at an average of about 4% over the last 30 years. Even at today's lower inflation rate, that is constantly eating away at your paycheck, though it is invisible. Of course, that's after the government implemented all sorts of shenanigans to make inflation seem artificially low. The official line used each time is that the change makes inflation data more accurate. Yet each and every time, and there have been dozens of times, inflation is tweaked down. How convenient. If we still determined inflation using the calculations from 1980, it'd be significantly higher: [shadowstats inflation july19](Courtesy of [ShadowStats.com]( The simple fact of the matter is inflation has been the predominant reason a majority of Americans are being pushed towards poverty and deeper into debt while creating a massive headwind for wealth creation for the rest. The low inflation we've seen in recent years is an aberration. There will be a return to the norm. Anyone taking the government and Federal Reserve's dismissals of inflation concerns at face value is ignorant to reality.

Inflation is absolutely crushing them. For those of us with some money to invest, there is a tried-and-true way to offset some of the effects of inflation on our portfolios. Get into gold and gold miners.]( I know the idea is anathema to some, but we can't really afford to avoid the reality of the situation. Gold is up over 250% over the last 30 years. Go back to 1971, and gold is up over 3,500%. The S&P 500 falls well short of matching that performance. Then there are the seemingly unavoidable pitfalls in our very near future: trade concerns, negative stock market indicators, QE, central bank shenanigans, yield curve inversions, the Iran standoff, global unrest, etc. The simple fact is that gold has and will continue to be the best way to protect and preserve wealth over long periods of time. Of course, not all companies are poised to thrive in the post-correction years of gold. Due diligence is an absolute necessity. It is a pain, I know, but there is no way around it. It feels like a full-time job. That's because it is, and it often requires a lot of overtime, too. The Outsider Club's Gerardo Del Real has made a career of it.
