Master investment gurus Warren Buffett, Jim Rogers, and Marc Faber all went on record recently to say the U.S. government would start buying its own debt... which would stoke inflation down the road. And now it's happening...
The Federal Reserve just announced it would buy $300 billion of long-term Treasuries to keep interest rates low and help along the economic recovery. Of course, no real work or toil will create the money it takes to buy the debt. The money will be created at the stroke of a computer key. Short-term, it will boost a lot of assets. Long-term, it's going to be a disaster... so own gold, real assets, and bet on higher rates.
