Gold is in the early stages of its third great bull run that will take it to record heights.
The first two great bull markets were 1971-1980 (gold up 2,200%) and 1999-2011 (gold up 760%). After peaking in 2011, gold fell sharply from that peak to below $1,100 per ounce by 2015.
Now the third great bull market is underway. It began on December 16, 2015, when gold bottomed at $1,050 per ounce at the end of the 2011-2015 bear market. Since then, gold is up significantly, but it’s small change compared to 2,200% and 760% gains in the last two bull markets.
Still, most mainstream economists dismiss gold. They call it a barbarous relic and say it has no place in today’s monetary system.
But today, I want to remind you of the three main arguments mainstream economists make against gold and why they’re dead wrong.
