More and more mainstream investors are waking up to the economic problems stemming from the Federal Reserve's unprecedented amount of money-printing in the last six years. This new opinion piece from Investor's Business Daily takes a look at Janet Yellen's congressional testimony and explains why the economy will be reeling for years from the damage done by QE. If you agree with people like Peter Schiff and believe that the "Real Crash" is approaching, make sure you've protected your savings with physical gold and silver.

In a new commentary published by The Gold Republic Journal, renowned author and economist Jim Rickards explains why the Federal Reserve cannot safely exit its quantitative easing program. Rickards argues that the supposed strength of the US markets is a complete mirage created by the Fed's policies.
