“$17,000 Gold Is the Floor” |Pierre Lassonde

 

Legendary gold investor Pierre Lassonde joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to explain why he believes gold’s bull market is far from over — and why his $17,000 gold target may be more floor than fantasy. Lassonde argues that today’s market has eerie similarities to the 1970s: energy shocks, sticky inflation, rising deficits, financial repression, and a political system with little will to tackle the debt. He says those forces are reshaping the investment landscape and could drive gold dramatically higher as investors seek protection from currency debasement and declining confidence in paper assets. In this conversation, Lassonde breaks down his Dow-to-gold ratio framework, why he believes the Federal Reserve may not be able to stop inflation the way Paul Volcker did, and why gold remains one of the clearest signals of stress in the global monetary system.

Pierre Lassonde says $17,000 gold may be more “floor” than fantasy as deficits, inflation, and monetary change reshape the investment landscape. For more exclusive real-assets research and interviews, join Wealthion’s Real Assets Community: https://bit.ly/49rEcqK
