Could Hyperinflation Happen in the U.S.?

Theoretically, yes. We've all see this picture.

Hyperinflation is a scary thought.

Technical definitions vary, but while it could be argued that mild inflation can be a sign of a growing economy, hyperinflation is certainly never a good thing.

But most people in the U.S. - or in world for that matter- say that it will not happen here.

Most make this claim because they believe the Federal Reserve has the capacity and the foresight to prevent this. This was part of the reason the Fed was created.

(For an excellent read on the Federal Reserve, try "The Creature of Jekyl Island" by G. Edward Griffin)

The point I want to make is that, in either outcome, or in any type of monetary inflation, silver coins are the best hedge or safe haven investment.

If you hold silver in a form that is easy to exchange (i.e., not in jewelry, in silverware or on paper), you could very likely ride out any economic scenario—you just can't go wrong. Silver remains a cheap, overlooked and exceedingly small market.
The bullish factors are dizzying.

With normal inflation, silver is a convenient way to convert out of cash.

Even when times of economic growth and prosperity return, the industrial demand alone is enough for prices to skyrocket over the long term.

But in times of poor economic growth, but little inflation (recession), silver will still be strategic metal in high demand for the military-industrial complex.

In times of stagflation - and maybe we are here now - there also remains the industrial usage and (inflation hedge) investment. Finally, in the worst of cases, where John Williams argues we may already be, silver coins of all types, but especially

could be easily traded as money for everyday transactions.

The key is of course, to get in now, before hyperinflation, while it is still affordable. We will all likely live to see the frenzy.

Feedback from readers...

"Silver Coin Investor is cutting edge and has it all...the value I receive from your website and The Lewis and Mariani Silver Letters is far, far greater than the small subscription cost. I am finding that I don't need any other source for silver research and knowledge. Thanks Jeff.

I mean that.

"Well it helps confirm my conviction that silver is far better metal to invest in than gold or any of the other metals because of its monetary, medical, and industrial uses. So it really has a realistic unrecognized potential that I feel the gold bugs overlook. I read and research a lot of different sources and you help me stay balanced in my approach. Thanks for the course and keep up the good work!"
