As 2026 unfolds, the conversation around precious metals is heating up again. Marc Faber, renowned economist and long-time market observer, dives deep into why we're seeing this resurgence—and it traces back to a fundamental issue: relentless money printing. This expansion of money supply hasn't created widespread prosperity; instead, it's been a primary driver of wealth inequality. The rich get richer through asset appreciation, while the purchasing power of ordinary savers erodes. But there's a silver lining. While equities and traditional assets face headwinds, bonds are starting to look interesting again. In a world of elevated uncertainty and shifting monetary dynamics, fixed income deserves a closer look. Whether it's precious metals as inflation hedges or bonds as yield opportunities, understanding these macro shifts matters for anyone thinking about portfolio positioning in 2026.

Here we go again with the printing press rhetoric... but to be honest, precious metals are indeed attractive.

Over-issuing currency has been overdone; now it's time for precious metals and bonds to catch the bargain. No doubt about it.

The printing press keeps running, and the poor are getting poorer. This trick has been played out long ago. But bonds are still somewhat interesting now; it's finally time for fixed income to turn around.

As soon as the printing press starts, you know who is in dire poverty and who is winning effortlessly. Truly amazing.

Over-issuance of currency like this, the rich sit back and earn passively, and our money becomes less and less valuable... Truly heartbreaking.
