Tim Price on The Fundamental Impossibility of Paying Back the Debt

By Brian Chu, Sunday, 05 January 2025

Welcome to day four of our Gold Summer Series!

I hope you’ve had a relaxing summer break so far.

On day one, you heard from Ronnie Stoeferle.

On day two, Jim Rickards shared his views, and on day three, global cycles guru David Murrin provided his take.

Today, we hear from Tim Price, a true investing contrarian.

Tim, a UK based fund manager, established his firm, Price Value Partners, in 2015. His investment approach is based on old-school investing principles espoused by Ben Graham and his student Warren Buffett.

This type of investing is certainly out of fashion in today’s markets!

Tim is also an accomplished author, having written The War on Cash and Investing Through the Looking Glass.

Tim has long warned about the perils of large government deficits and ever-growing debt piles. He believes COVID represented the last gasp of government spending, or at least the market continuing to support such large spending programs.

Which brings us to the topic of gold. Tim thinks this will all end in an inflationary crisis, with gold being a prime beneficiary.

I hope you enjoy Nick’s interview with Tim Price…

God bless,

Brian Chu is one of Australia’s foremost independent authorities on gold and gold stocks, with a unique strategy for valuing big producers and highly speculative explorers. He established a private family fund that only invests in ASX-listed gold mining companies, possibly the only such fund in Australia, putting his strategy and research skills to the test under public scrutiny. He currently writes two gold-focused investment advisories.

In his Australian Gold Report, Brian shows you a strategy for building long-term wealth in physical gold, along with a select portfolio of hand-picked stocks, mainly producers with proven revenue streams, chosen for their balance of risk and reward.

In his more specialised Gold Stock Pro service, Brian helps readers trade some of the most exciting, speculative gold mining plays on the ASX. He uses his proprietary system — based on the famous Lassonde Curve model, which tracks the life cycle of mining stocks. His aim is to help you get ready to trade the next phase of gold and silver’s anticipated longer-term bull market for opportunities to benefit.
