The U.S. dollar and delusions of growth By Clint Siegner web posted June 16, 2025 Americans are accustomed to assets being priced in terms of Federal Reserve note dollars. It makes sense, of course. The dollar is the currency of the realm. There is, however, a real problem with using it as a benchmark. Government inflation statistics cannot be trusted. It isn't easy to determine whether price gains represent appreciation of the asset or depreciation of the dollar.

The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, recently announced he will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He built a reputation as one of the sharpest minds in investing. Buffett’s folksy wisdom and knack for picking winners made him a household name. But when it comes to gold, Buffett maintains a stubborn bias against investing and has missed an absolutely huge move over the past 25 years.
