Warren Buffett, who has a long history with precious metals (his dad was a goldbug and Buffett himself is alleged to have attempted to corner the silver market in the late 80s), has done an about-face and decided that even Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio needs exposure to the barbarous relic.
Berkshire Hathaway added nearly 21 million shares of Barrick Gold. A $560 million investment that’s sure to pique the interest of generalists who have followed Buffett in avoiding public stakes in gold equities.
Why the about-face? The current monetary policy isn’t sustainable at its current pace without consequential inflation rearing its head.
You didn’t have to be Warren Buffett to see the writing on the wall.

The major U.S. indices, meanwhile, continue higher supported by a Fed that believes more inflation is better than less and “overshooting” on the inflation target is okay and even desired.
The policy ignores the incompetence of our political class and the real effects that its lack of leadership has had on the average citizen.
Here’s a chart of mortgage delinquencies.
Turns out the bank doesn’t care about your political affiliation when your government doesn’t allow you to work and you can’t pay your mortgage.
We know the Fed and central bankers around the world believe they can continue to manipulate inflation, target higher asset prices, and keep interest rates down.
We also know that global debt literally cannot afford higher rates.
What happens if the Fed and central bankers are wrong?
I believe we’ll find out in the next 12 months.
For now, at least, we have our own way to get gold for dirt cheap.
