Maloney seems to be a calm, yet authoritative, voice in looking at the underbelly of our financial system. To date, I have not heard negative things about him.
Were it me (and who asked me?), I would say a reasonable defense against the crooks, yet retaining investments that have performed very well over LONG periods of time, I would suggest the below holdings (will of course vary according to each person's own circumstances and comfort levels):
- 3% - 20% in physical gold (and/or other PMs)
- 1% - 20% in BTC (HIGH risk though)
Add other hard assets (land, guns & lead bullion, etc.) as you wish.
Disclosure: I own both BTC and gold, more is in gold.
