Brent Johnson's Dollar Milkshake Theory- Why the dollar is going up against gold and other currencies


Here's a short video, with cool graphics, that explains Brent Johnson's "Dollar Milkshake Theory."  This video is from September 2021, when inflation was just beginning to show it's ugly head.  Since this video was made, inflation has skyrocketed to an official CPI number of 9.1%.  If we figured inflation like they did back in 1980, it would be 16%-17% (Shadow Stats). 

Yet, even with inflation higher than it's been in modern history,  the dollar has been rising against other currencies, and against gold.  Less than two years ago, it took $1.22 to buy one Euro.  Now the dollar is nearly even, it takes less than $1.01 to buy one Euro.  How about gold?  Gold peaked at over $2,000 an ounce within the last three years.  Gold is $1707 an ounce as I write this.  Silver is down as well.  If you're an investor, the most honest response is,  WTF?  

Here's a 22 minute video of Brent Johnson, explaining "Dollar Milkshake Theory" way back in early 2019.  Can you even remember what 2019 was like?  It was a year before Covid and the 2 1/2 craziest years any of us can remember.  The dollar has soared against other currencies in the last year or so, and it rising against gold and silver right now.  

If you listened to this longer explanation, we are at the part where dollars are surging back into the U.S. system, pushing our inflation higher.  Much of the rest of the world is already in the deflationary collapse, and we are heading into it here.  The final fight from Highlander is coming, but it's not quite here yet.  There can be only one!    And if you have gold and silver at this point, you might want to...
