The fact that this is my eighth “NIRP vs. Gold” article, spanning more than three years time, is all the proof you need that this unprecedentedly deformative policy is here to stay – in Peter Schiff’s words, a “roach motel” where once a Central bank checks in, it can never check out. Per the table below, replete with links to each of the first seven articles, the first was written in July 2012, mere days before Draghi’s infamous “whatever it takes” speech – when ironically, he vowed to “save” the Euro by printing as much of it as he and his unelected board of hyperinflationists arbitrarily decided.
Fast forward to today, and not only has the Euro’s purchasing power been dramatically weakened, but the European Union – and many of its member states – are on the verge of political and economic collapse.
