Next, we see that, strangely it seems, demand for $100 bills has begun to pick up.
It appears that the dollar debasement is hitting main street. To keep tabs on the matter, we refer you to the M2 money supply which we present below in our Key Statistics.
The debauchery of the US currency is now hitting the street, which may mean its days are numbered. Once the moronic Fiscal Cliff and the upcoming Debt ceiling redux in March 2013 are resolved, the party will begin in earnest.
We reckon that over the next few months there will be a narrow window to get precious metals at what, in retrospect, will be a bargain price. We look for the price to rise in fits and starts from early January through March, then take off through May. Part of this is seasonal, and part of it is the debauchery related above. However, it is the debauchery which will punctuate the upcoming move.
We would like to take this opportunity to send you all a big hug and wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season from us here at the Mint!
Stay Fresh!
