Ein Beitrag aus einem anderen Forum, welcher Gold und Silber etwas in Perspektive rückt:
"US debt and unfunded liabilities are rising at $8.525 trillion a year, rising from $141.5 trillion to $175.6 trillion in just 4 years (http://www.usdebtclock.org/). The unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security are politically impossible to cut. So these massive deficits are real even though everyone has been ignoring them.
$8.525 trillion a year works out to a daily deficit of $23.3 billion. All the silver bullion available in the world today is about 800 million ounces and is worth about $15.2 billion. So every 15 hours and 40 minutes, the US deficit is large enough to buy all the silver bullion in the world.
All the available gold bullion in the world is about 2000 million ounces or worth about $2.5 trillion dollars. That is the US deficit in just 107 days.
What we have looked at is just the US deficit. The world deficit is 2 to 3 times larger - so, conservatively, every 8 hours you can buy all the silver bullion in the world and every 50 days, you can buy all the gold bullion in the world.
The Fed is printing at $85 billion a month and Japan is printing $75 billion a month for a total printing rate of $1.92 trillion a year. That $1.92 trillion can buy all the silver bullion in the world 126 times over and buy 77% of the world's gold bullion.
It is insane that in a world awash in deficits and trillions in printing, gold and silver are being hammered. This insanity cannot last too much longer. But it can last longer than you can stay solvent."
