is the fed in trouble?

When you read this it is chilling. No wonder gold imo is going to soar to unimaginable prices. When uranium was just a few dollars a pound did anyone imagine uranium would soar to way over $100 a pound?

As always you have called it again and again.

Respectfully yours,
Monty
