This is like Weimar Republic hyperinflation of early 1920's when it cost billions of Deutschmarks to buy a loaf of bread, and you better get their fast for the bargain because tomorrow that loaf might cost double. Between 1919 and 1923, the cost of a troy ounce of gold rose from 170 D-marks to 87 trillion D-marks. For those lucky enough to have gold, it was a bonanza. It's said that a few ounces of gold could buy up one entire city block of Berlin in 1923 at the peak of hyperinflation.

This chart makes the case for owning gold as 10% of your assets. History repeats itself and so does inflation.
