Over the past couple of weeks, I have discussed the fallout of the liquidity crises with virtually all of the regular guests on The Korelin Economics Report. Some have said that they feel the problems stemming from the sub prime mortgage situation are, in fact, overblown and others have said that the situation is dangerous enough to warrant staying out of the stock market and only buying gold. Some, in the latter camp, indicated that they felt it was prudent to purchase gold while maintaining a substantial amount of cash.

I am right of center on this issue in that I agree that purchasing gold (and silver) is prudent; however, I feel strongly that purchasing stocks of the public companies in the industry also makes a lot of sense. I say this because the prices of most are currently 20 to 50% less than they were just a month or so ago.

I decided to get the final word on this subject from Doug Casey. I did that because I believe that Doug is truly the "godfather" of our business. (Doug, I am not putting you in the same category as Don Corlone [Corleone] here!) Doug's book, Crisis Investing, was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for 29 consecutive weeks. And, more recently, he correctly called the start of the new gold bull market after the stock market crash of April 2000.

Doug said that he believes that big government is the cause of most economic ills. We discussed that along with the numerous disincentives that people have gotten used to and ways that we can all protect ourselves from financial ruin.

I believe that economic conditions in the U.S. and political events around the world are giving definite buy signals for gold. I have felt this way for a number of years now. It all started when gold was trading at $254 an ounce. We made the call on The Korelin Economics Report then that the price of gold was going to trend upward for quite some time. We were correct then and with the help of the input from guests on our program, like Doug Casey, I am convinced that we are correct now. Listen to all the interviews and then come to your own conclusion. In addition to being heard on the thirty stations that carry our program, you can also listen by going to www.kereport.com.
