Great stalk! Love the Anecdote about Tacitus. Do not fully understand the lower commodity prices in gold trend yet. Does anyone want to explain?😄

In 2011 he was down -21%, -16%, -63%, -11%, -19%, then up 289% in 2016... Yikes

So impressed. Real vision has done it again. This should be in the top ten rv picks.

would be great for RV to leave a link to expert being interviewed webpage/ blog/ twitter etc in the info outlining interivew/vid

Excellent!

This interview was released on my birthday! The part at 15:00 where he talks about Tacitus writing 33AD "Emperor Tiberius...100 million sesterces were to be taken from the imperial treasury and distributed among reliable bankers, to be loaned to the neediest debtors" .... goosebumps. Stuff is fascinating. People act like what happens in the present has never happened before - but its happened since the beginning of time and it happens over and over again!

Lacy Hunt please

This guy is a theoretical story teller. Waste of time to anyone with few years of experience in market. He's classic reason why GDXJ exists.

Great Historical Perspective,,, I'll need to listen again!! Their was no mention of crypto currencies which I find curious

I admit I am a far less sophisticated investor than all the interview guests here. However, all the "gold experts" I have seen so far basically say that at one point in time it will be useful to own gold, however they do not know WHEN that is, for HOW LONG that will be, at what PRICE to get IN and at what price to get OUT. What does that tell us about "gold experts"?

this interview stops short of any practical advise or tradable ideas. Have to put negative review this time unfortunately. "partners' of RVTV expect something better, more actionable, more hard data. The interview wtih Rhona O'Connel and their report is much much better quality and info!

The most impressive back and forth about this global mess in relation to gold's role and history and the range of outcomes to conclude this can kicking that I have ever heard. Well done!

What is the name of the Duke that wrote in his memoir about the Mississippi bubble? Hope someone got that

that was brilliant!

every once in a while one of these interviews is beyond value, this is one of them. Thanks

How fantastically in-depth was that? Thank you. Precisely why i subscribe to RV.

Second lisren.Beautiful conversation.

Absolutely Brilliant Grant !! one of your best ever , look forward to Daniel's return...

Maybe the best "gold" interview I've heard on RV. I cannot believe I have not heard about Dan until now, but I will closely follow him going forward. Well done Grant!

Great discussion. For me it is simply history, and the human condition. Your paper money is proven to depreciate and occasionally that rate of depreciation is very high, Once in a couple of generations it is catastrophic. Gold goes up and down and doesn't give you any interest, costs you to hold unless you do it at home, so why hold it? I read in a great little book called "SWAG" the following quote.......“Gold is a zero coupon , perpetual, irredeemable bond. With no credit risk. With no counterparty risk. Issued by God. That why I own it. In todays world everything else seems uncertain and there is so much debt, demographics in the West + Russia and Japan, is on the wrong path. So many promises have been made on pensions and social security. New nationalist threats are arising all the time. Whats wrong with having some gold as an alternative of real money? I have my price floor and we are not a million miles from it, but if i have to take a 10% loss I will gladly take it. The next bust will not be like the last one. At what point will investors and savers say "The FED tried and failed last time...I will not trust them again!" and look to hold some gold (and silver).

Grant, I know you'll resist this but with all you do to speak of Gold. How about predicting a new top in gold price and likely time???

One of the most valuable aspects of real vision to me is the effort taken to speak with people that have their opinions on the big picture and where they operate within the scope. We're all so busy that it is easy to stray from the big direction shifts sometimes. Great interview.

Grant great job! My only complaint is that this interview did not last longer.

Definitely have Dan Oliver again. I heard him at a conference in New York over a year ago, and have read his monthly newsletter ever since. A good man, well spoken, with amazing knowledge and wisdom.

What a fantastic interview. Another example that some of the smartest thinkers have a deep appreciation for history and are voracious readers. Good lessons for everyone.

I've noticed in the last 6 interviews that one of the cameras being used to make the video has a very poor quality in regards to the picture. Can you RVTV guys fix this? I also notice that the over-the-shoulder shots capture too much of the adjacent person's head which somewhat obscures the frame and when someone scratches their head or adjusts their position by shifting into the camera's arc of view, the action completely obscures the viewer's view. Highly annoying... As for the interview, as usual, great stuff!! More, please.

Great interview.

Excellent interview. Really enjoyed it. Dan Oliver addressed many of the concepts of the gold as money/commodity from beginning to end. This is one of the interviews where I want to read the transcript and apply some careful thought to many of the things said in this program. Thank you Grant for another home run.

One of the best interviews yet, really enjoyed the interaction.

you had me at "Pyramids"......

How do you understand politics, government, or anything if you don’t understand this conversation? Excellent.

I've worked in Gold mines, open pit & underground. I was waiting to hear a little about some win/loss stories of investing in gold mines. But I thought there is only about 20 years of global gold mining reserves to be mined out. But it was great to remember about the gold mine safety teams going around handing out safety slips to some employees.

I was expecting more!

Negative Beta aspect of Gold for portfolio rebalancing is a big take away with this interview. really outside of gold as insurance against fiat currencies that is what gold does as investment.

Very solid on the history and plumbing of what makes the gold mkt flow within the monetary system... just would like to have heard more on portfolio construction and which companies he might have passion for otherwise his best in class views on the gold price could just be traded in GDXJ?

If this is Daniel Want, could you address all your excellent questions in a new interview /video? That would be hugely insightful!

Invaluable! Thanks for this interview. Dan kept it simple. My only suggestion for improvement would be that he maintain his voice volume at the end of his sentences - sometimes he trails off and I had to rewind to get his point. But I would value this presentation even if he stuttered :)

He mentions Langone's question to Druckenmueller about a $1BB loss: What did you learn? D's reply: "Nothing." Well, sure i like the pyramids/China example --and all that history was entertaining, but i didn't learn anything new about buying/hold gold that i didn't already learn from other RV experts. I guess that's okay because the message to have some gold insurance is still a good one. Seemed like a long way to get there, though.

Finally! Someone who understands our economic condition with the overlay of historical perspective. His most profound statement - "what we have today is not capitalism." Hear, hear. What we have today would be more appropriately called creditism, a term possibly coined by Richard Duncan, a man who understands the problem (but who, unfortunately, believes more debt is the solution). This system running on credit, or debt, rather than capital, or savings, is a marauding beast, a beast system that devours all but those who already posses leverageable assets. By continuing to support it we in the financial profession sow the seeds of our own demise, poison the well, cook the goose, tie the noose; whatever the metaphor, it's suicide.

Very enjoyable. Love me my gold porn. :-)

if anyone has created list of books he mentions on interview, it will be great.

Can gold be 'disrupted'?

is it me, or has the video quality gone down? Filming issue? Or deliberate?

I love this guy! Great interview. And he's gone a heck of a job quarterbacining the NY Giants as well.

..

I enjoyed this thoroughly. It would be very nice to see an interview with Mike Maloney, who has excellent grasp of what money truly is, and the understanding of money throughout history.

Excellent insights on gold. I now have a totally different perspective.

Excellent

Wow. What an intellect. Encyclopedic knowledge, and a memory to match. And all distilled with great clarity and reason. Fascinating discussion. Look forward to hearing much more from Dan.

VERY GOOD! For once I don't have a single critisicm ;^) I will say that I was a little bit put off by the the fact that Mr. Oliver actually spent part of his life making stuffed animals but... I was quickly won over by the amazingly coherent historical perspective he gave to his thesis.

great stuff

I opened an account with Myrmikan Gold several months ago and consider Dan the best writer that I follow. Ironically I heard about Dan on Real Vision TV from Paul Mylchreest & have really enjoyed reading Dan's articles. Thank you for a great interview guys and thank you Grant for making this happen.

Grant great interview- "The barbarous relic" history won't judge Keynes well on that call.

Solid interview. A 5% allocation to gold will not protect any portfolio. It is interesting, however, that gold and gold miners may fall initially with the market. That is the time to have plenty of cash to purchase gold and gold miners before they accelerate upward. Cash may be a key to investing in gold. DLS

Great interview and great history lesson

Milton here - apologies on the grain on the camera. At the time Grant was experimenting with inter-dimensional travel to get between shoots, and the resulting electrical disturbance left our cameras a bit scrambled. You wouldn't believe how many static dryer sheets we had to use to get him back to normal, but he's back from being ionic to simply being ironic. Shouldn't be a problem in the future. -- your pal Milty

Fantastic interview - and this guy is brilliant. Super sharp and deep knowledge of history. Grant's engaging interviewing style on display beautifully here. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Great interview ! Please bring Dan Oliver back on again!

Good to hear...humility and admitting not always right. Living thru the tough holding period myself waiting for when gold and miners would take off.

A rare man who understands gold from all dimensions. Thank you .

A rare man who understands gold from all dimensions. Thank you .

excellent!

The fact that I'm old and have gold leads me to the question "the future price of gold and therefore do I have enough it insure a life style I want to insure?"

Video quality when the camera is on Grant is poor; while when on the interviewee is good. Why?

I also found this conversation invaluable. Thanks Grant and Dan.
