THE “SHADOW” GOLD STANDARD
In 1971, the United States abandoned the old Gold Standard to curb inflation and, more importantly, to prevent foreign nations from overburdening the monetary system by redeeming their dollars for gold. In 1982, Fed Chairman Paul Volker was the first to base monetary policy on a secular pattern of spot commodity prices.
It
was similar to the Gold Standard except that a basket of 25 select commodity prices were used instead of just Gold. IN EVERY QUARTER FROM 1982 ONWARD, U.S. MONETARY POLICY HAS BEEN GUIDED BY THE SPOT PRICE OF A COLLECTION OF COMMODITIES, (EXCEPT FOR THE PERIOD 2005 – 2010 AND IN RECENT YEARS)! In the brief periods that Government has not followed this Shadow (Gold) Commodity Standard, volatility has resulted in economic chaos! Most owners of Gold coins and bullion for Investment purposes are not generally aware that Private Investment holdings accounts for only a small percentage of total Gold supply. According to the World Gold Council, only 22% of all Gold ever mined has been held in Private hands. Industrial uses for Gold and Jewelry manufacturing historically have accounted for almost 50% of all Gold mined!
