The Federal Reserve Is Ignoring Inflation

The Fed is also choosing to ignore the fact that inflation is already running north of 3 percent. Instead, they have conveniently come up with their own measure of inflation, which comes in just a shade below the Fed's arbitrary 2 percent "acceptable" target.

This announcement is a slap in the face to anyone who earns, saves, and invests in dollars. So, it's no surprise to me that investors, financial institutions, and foreign governments are turning to gold and silver in larger and larger numbers. - in Euro Pacific Precious Metals
