The Looming Threat of Hyperinflation: Lessons from History and Implications for Today
Hyperinflation stands as one of the most catastrophic forces ever unleashed upon a society. It doesn't just diminish the value of currency but also erodes public confidence in institutions, triggering political and social instability. Defined as a monthly inflation rate exceeding 50%, hyperinflation’s impact can be seen in history's stark examples, such as the Weimar Republic of post-World War I Germany.
While hyperinflation is not the everyday reality for many Canadians today, it holds vital lessons, particularly in how unchecked fiscal policies and central bank interventions could pave the way for an economic disaster. As policymakers in Canada and globally navigate today's economic turbulence, the lessons from the past serve as an urgent warning…

Bank of Canada’s “Supersized” Rate Cut: Is Economic Collapse Imminent?
Canadian households may be celebrating the recent drop in borrowing costs, but beneath the surface, the Bank of Canada's (BoC) latest rate decision paints a troubling picture. On Wednesday, October 23, the BoC slashed the overnight interest rate by 50 basis points (bps), bringing it to 3.75%. While this move was widely expected, it signals a deeper concern about the health of the Canadian economy. With inflation falling and the risk of deflation on the horizon, the central bank appears to be moving at an unprecedented pace to stave off a potential recession or worse…

Silver: Rediscovering a Forgotten Strategic Asset
The story of silver’s pivotal role in the Manhattan Project, where over 14,700 tons were temporarily repurposed to develop America’s nuclear arsenal, highlights silver’s strategic importance. Recently, Russia’s move to accumulate silver points to its enduring relevance. In a world where technology and global tensions shape priorities, is the world entering a new era where silver, alongside gold, regains its role as an indispensable asset?

The New Era of Inflation: Lessons from the 1970s and What Lies Ahead
Imagine standing in the ocean just after a powerful wave crashes over you. You surface, catching a breath, only to be hit by another wave. This relentless cycle captures the nature of inflation. Unlike a one-time event, inflation plays out over stages, dragging on for years or even decades, each wave more dangerous than the last…

The Housing Dream Deferred: Inflation’s Toll on Canadian Homeownership
The dream of homeownership, long a cornerstone of Canadian identity, is slipping further away for many. Relentless inflation, especially in essential areas like food and rent, is eroding the financial security of millions. For a growing number of Canadians, the idea of owning a home is becoming more of a fantasy than a realistic goal. With each passing month, inflationary pressures are forcing more Canadians to abandon their dreams, leaving them to face an uncertain future in an increasingly unaffordable housing market…

Canadian Real Estate: A Looming Crisis as Demand Crumbles
Canada’s real estate market is standing on precarious ground. Although recent data might suggest that things are slowly improving, beneath the surface, there is a growing crisis. The once red-hot markets of Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary are now showing signs of significant distress, and the ripple effects are spreading across the country. With an economic slowdown looming and interest rates still high, the cracks in Canada's housing market are widening, threatening to swallow those who are unprepared…

Why Gold Should Be the Foundation of Your Portfolio
Gold’s unmatched stability and reliability make it a critical foundation for any well-diversified portfolio. Unlike stocks, bonds, or other paper assets, gold retains its value during economic turbulence. Historically, gold has maintained its worth through recessions, market crashes, and currency devaluations, proving it to be the ultimate store of wealth.
In today’s economic environment, where securities entitlements and fiat currencies face growing skepticism, owning physical gold provides financial security that is becoming increasingly rare. It is a tangible asset, free from the systemic risks inherent in the current financial system.
Gold as Portfolio Insurance
Beyond its stability, gold acts as an effective portfolio insurance. When traditional assets like stocks and bonds falter, gold tends to retain or even increase in value, offsetting potential losses. Gold’s inverse correlation to market downturns allows it to act as a buffer in times of crisis. As inflation erodes the purchasing power of fiat currencies, gold ensures that investors maintain their wealth, offering a reliable hedge against volatility.

The Custodial Model: An Additional Layer of Protection
In light of the revelations in David Rogers Webb's book The Great Taking, to further safeguard wealth, the firms I work with employ a custodial model, where client assets are held securely by an independent third-party custodian rather than commingled with the firm's assets. This crucial segregation of assets provides an additional layer of protection, reducing the risk of seizure or misappropriation in a financial crisis or institutional insolvency. The custodial model offers investors a safeguarded solution to help secure their wealth separately from the investment management firm.
