Keith McGregor asked:


Investing in Gold has done very well in spite of the chaotic backdrop of this years markets and it is predicted to do even better. Gold is in a bull market because its core fundamentals are so outstanding.

The gold bullion price is driven by supply and demand. Each year the world’s gold mines produce only 2,500 metric tonnes of gold. The best estimates indicate that the whole planet buys 4,000-5,000 metric tonnes of gold a year. Hence global demand exceeds supply by 60% to 100% annually creating structural shortage situation. Banks are no longer selling enough gold to make up for global demand above the amount of gold mined each year.
With this in mind gold is forecast to reach $1500 to $2000 dollars in the foreseeable future. Some analysts believe that this could be a soon as the next 12 to 18 months. Fund managers have identified 5 significant factors which will drive the price of gold bullion up even higher:

The decline of the dollar More inflation in the future Investors will seek greater safety in gold Higher oil prices Boom in demand for commodities and precious metals

In March 2008 Bloomberg reported that “gold…may be the best performing financial asset this years as inflation and slow growth erode the value of the worlds major currencies, bond and stocks.” ” Gold …may gain at least 24% this year as the Federal reserve Chairman Ben.S.Bernanke prioritizes cutting interest rates…”

Higher US interest rates would justify long-term dollar strength and with it, a falling long-term gold price. The US housing market has fallen by more than 12% in the last year alone. In reaction to this the FED is trying to soften the impact by allowing homeowners to extend their mortgages to longer periods at lower rates. The future of the dollar appears to be an index of lower highs and lower lows where as gold should see and opposite pattern with higher highs and higher lows.

Recently gold has dipped from March’s record $1,030 an ounce to around $850 as the dollar bounced off its record low against the euro; abating risk-aversion amid recovering stock markets has also hampered the yellow metals. Still, with the sub-prime crisis far from over, GFMS (independent researchers of the gold market) see scope for gold to rally to record levels once again. This current dip in the price may offer a buying opportunity.

Fat Prophets asked:


“ …It is, in short, the only unquestioned and generally acceptable means of payment among nations, as dollars are the only unquestioned and generally acceptable means of payment among Americans, francs among Frenchmen, sterling among the British, and so on.”

Peter Bernstein, ‘A Primer on Money, Banking and Gold.’

Peter Bernstein is no gold bug. Rather, he is one of the world’s foremost authorities on capital markets and economics. A Primer on Money, Banking and Gold was first written in 1965, when gold was still the international currency. It is our contention that in the years ahead, gold will once again resume that role.

Prior to 1971, gold was effectively the commodity with which international payments were made. The flow of gold into and out of countries said more about a nations’ economic health than anything else. Indeed, the outflow of gold from the US in the late 1960s ultimately triggered President Nixon’s decision to suspend gold convertibility. In a fateful decision, the global financial system’s link to sound money was broken.

Ever since, the world has been on a US dollar standard, a monetary system where only one country has the benefit of borrowing and repaying debt in its own currency. In order for this system to prosper, the true international currency, gold, needs to be discredited. We believe gold has been held down for many years in order to allow the US dollar based international financial system to survive. But the official grip on the gold price is beginning to weaken, perhaps this time for good.

The smart money knows this and is beginning to move into gold. There is a silent gold rush taking place all around the world. Investors who understand gold’s role as an international currency are selling their surplus paper dollars and buying the yellow metal. This has led to unprecedented demand for bullion and coin dealers everywhere are struggling to meet this demand.
The Australian newspaper reported over the weekend that the Perth Mint is not taking any more orders for gold until January. Our guess is that the Mint does not want to expose itself to higher future prices given that it does not have the inventory to meet the demand for bullion. In a recent report, The World Gold Council said investment demand for the September quarter was $10.7 billion, double last year’s quarterly total.

Yet the price of gold in US dollars has been under pressure and gold producers have little incentive to increase output at these price levels. Even in Australian dollars, the price of gold is not high enough to encourage increased production. According to Bloomberg, Australian gold production was down 8% in the third quarter.

Strong demand and weak supply should be creating much higher prices. One explanation as to why this is not happening relates to the short term impact of hedge funds selling gold to meet investor redemptions. However, we do not see this as a major cause. Hedge funds are more likely to deal in gold futures rather than physical gold. We will discuss the futures market in a moment.  

More ominously, we believe central banks and bullion banks (basically large international banks) are attempting to keep the price of gold down to reflect the ‘strength’ of the US dollar monetary system the world has operated under since 1971. This theory has been convincingly argued for many years by the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) in the US.

In summary, the argument is that central banks loan or lease gold to the bullion banks, who then sell the gold on the spot market and invest the proceeds in higher yielding treasury securities, earning a positive spread and easy money. In this way, central bank gold holdings are monetised and the proceeds are reinvested back into US government debt. More importantly, the additional supply of gold coming onto the market from the vaults of the central banks helps keep the price down.

Central bank officials certainly deny that they lease gold in order to keep the price low. Their explanation is that they simply lease gold to earn a small return on an asset that does not pay interest.

This is an ingenuous argument. Gold is an insurance policy - a wealth protector not a wealth generator. The benefit of earning a tiny return is more than offset by the risk of losing control over a country’s gold reserves. This fact will soon become painfully obvious to a number of countries.

The gold leasing and carry trade has in effect created a huge short position in the gold market. That is, the loaned gold must be paid back at some point. So central banks have considerable counter-party risks as they are relying on banks to repay the gold loaned to them.

How much gold is loaned out? That is an impossible question to answer, as there are no requirements for central banks to disclose this information. According to IMF (International Monetary Fund) accounting standards, central banks can include swapped or leased gold as a part of their official reserves, a practice that would lead to double counting of gold. So there is a decent likelihood that some of the world’s official gold reserves are not safely stored away, but have instead been leased and sold on the spot market.

This is certainly the contention of GATA and others. Recent efforts to obtain an updated audit of the US’ official gold reserves, stored mainly in Fort Knox, Kentucky, have been met with silence by the authorities. Despite the gold being the property of the US public, the facility is completely off limits and no official tours are conducted. Conversely, tourists and US citizens alike can see foreign central bank gold held in custody at the New York Federal Reserve in Manhattan.

If the market for physical gold is confusing and opaque, then so is the market for gold futures. The futures market is a way for investors, or more correctly, speculators, to gain exposure to the gold price without owning the physical metal. And futures provide leverage.

For example, the active futures contract at the moment is the December contract. One contract represents 100 ounces of gold. So the buyer of one December contract at US$820/oz will pay the seller US$82,000 in exchange for 100 ounces of gold. In practice though, most contracts are settled with cash rather than delivery of the physical metal.

There are increasing rumours that the COMEX, the exchange that runs the gold futures market, does not have the required physical metal should buyers of the contracts demand bullion as payment instead of cash. This is not surprising, as many of the players on the futures market are hedge funds. Such speculators look to capture leveraged price moves rather than buy contracts to receive physical delivery. 

The ‘open interest’ in the gold futures market reflects the amount of activity in gold futures and since peaking in early 2008, the amount of contracts ‘open’ have declined considerably.

Part of the decline obviously reflects lower participation from the hedge fund players. More importantly though, we believe the decline in open interest represents investor distrust in the exchange to deliver on its promises of gold delivery. If you really want to own bullion, why buy a futures contract? In the past, the gold futures price led the spot gold price. If participation in the futures exchange continues to decline, we wonder how long this will continue. 

Given the anecdotal evidence of physical accumulation around the world, we sense that investors large and small are beginning to wake up to the fact that the days of the US dollar as the world’s sole reserve currency are numbered. The fiat money experiment that began in August 1971 is drawing to a close.

Not that anyone in an official capacity wants to recognise this. In a recent meeting of the House Financial Services Committee in the US, Republican Senator Ron Paul asked Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke whether central bankers ever discussed gold in the context of a new international monetary system. Bernanke’s response was to the effect that they only discuss gold in terms of how much they plan to sell.

If this is true, the trade by central banks has so far been a poor one. Central bank sales (separate from the leasing of gold discussed earlier) have been co-ordinated since the Washington Gold Agreement was signed in 1999.

The agreement was precipitated by Gordon Brown, the country’s then chancellor, selling half of England’s gold reserves in 1999. The fact that Brown inexplicably advertised the government’s move prior to the sales saw the gold price plummet and threaten the gold mining industry, so a formalised gold selling agreement was put into place.

The first agreement, from 1999-2004, stipulated that the 11 member nations of the new euro, plus a few other European nations, limit their gold sales to 400 tonnes per year, or not more than 2000 tonnes over five years. The countries signed a second agreement in September 2005, limiting sales to 500 tonnes per year, or not more than 2500 tonnes in total.

There are a few points to note about these agreements. Firstly, the sales represent supply over and above annual production and the gold price has increased considerably since the agreements began. There is now less than one year left in the second agreement and sales in the first four years have all been under the 500 tonne limit. Evidence to date suggests that sales in the final year will be well down on the proposed limit, as banks decide to hold onto their remaining gold.

The fact that central bank sales have added supply to the market while the gold price has continued to rise over the past 9 years suggests the unfolding bull market is a powerful one. While unelected officials sell their citizens’ gold wealth, individuals are taking matters into their own hands and buying the gold back. We believe this will prove a great trade for the individual, and a poor one for the central banks, with major ramifications.

When it comes to Gold Prices or gold purchasing, Gold Prices India is a good place to start. Purchasing Gold in India is a very common occurrence. Therefore the need to know the current Gold Price India is offering is very important. How are you, the investor, able to determine, and more importantly benefit from the current Gold Prices?

The first thing that you need to be able to do is to determine a reliable source for the exact data you seek. In this circumstance that data is the Gold Price India is currently selling and buying at. How do you know your source is reliable and current?

There are any numbers of ways to determine the most current Gold Prices India. However, the easiest and most reliable of sources is right here. The prices are updated on a very regular basis. In fact they are updated every 30 minutes.

With the fact that we bring you the most current Gold Prices India is offering, we have greatly reduced the amount of time you must spend in order to make a sound, wise gold purchase.

These days there are no guarantees on any investment. The ever changing economy makes the wise investor consistently view prices and pay attention. That is if you are purchasing gold in India for profit and not social standings. It is important to know that the price or value of gold anywhere can fluctuate greatly from one moment to the next so if you are trying to meet a certain amount of profit, you must stay on top of the Gold Prices India both buyers and sellers alike. Buy when the Gold Price is low and sell when the Gold Price is high.

If you are simply buying Gold in India for social standings, it is equally as important for you to know the current prices and value of gold. Although you may not be interested in a simple profit, it still needs to be investigated. If you purchase gold for instance when the Gold Prices India offers is at an all time high, you could be wasting a lot of money. Wait a few days to a few weeks and you could considerably save.

Another thing about the purchase of gold in India that one should know is that it happens often therefore there are a lot of people that will try to scam you. If you are purchasing gold coins in particular, unless you are a collector of such coins, it is vitally important that you know the authenticity of the coins.

Please do not make the simplest (and incidentally) one of the most common and costly mistakes made when buying gold coins in India. Too many times people purchase gold coins thinking that they are of some significant value just to find out they have been had. The coins in question turn out to be fake or not of the value originally thought to be.

Chris Jordan asked:


As the US dollar continues to weaken, gold and jewelry buyers continue to witness surging up of gold prices every week. This is but obvious as a weaker dollar is bound to inflate the value of dollar dominated commodity like gold. This definitely makes this the right time to get some quick cash for gold. People who like to invest in gold can sell jewelry and other forms of gold at this point in time so that they can get the best returns of their long time investments in the yellow metal. The gold prices have seen an increase also due to some other factors like increase in demand for gold across the global markets.

 

The increase in prices has been seen for both standard as well as ornamental gold. Even the scrap gold is being sold at much higher prices than they were worth a few months back. To see it from all perspectives, from one side people would be selling gold to get some fat cash as well many would be looking at it as a safe haven for long term investments. So the demand for gold would continue to be strong even in times of recession and thus the prices would also continue to remain higher than usual. So the selling pressure would continue to balance the buying pressure on gold. In such times many people are sell jewelry and gold as investors sell their stocks. But as we all have seen in recent times the stocks are a very volatile option when it comes to saving up for future. So we should see many investors are switching over to saving gold for their rainy days.

 

The probability of gold prices going up is much more than it’s hitting any lower. The gold production costs continue to be high, which is another reason for shooting up of prices. These are the times when one should attempt to get good cash for gold on such articles. Despite the rising prices many jewelry buyers continue to add up to the demand for ornamental gold as at times many consumers ought to buy jewelry irrespective of its price and also ignore any current market trends.

 

The gold production was at a record high during year 2008. But with recession times and most of the people struggling to survive in such times, the investment factor is bound to go down. Hence even though gold is a good option we would see many less consumers for it apart from the few traditional jewelry buyers who have a continuous customer base across different regions. As per the current economic situation the gold production would be much lower than in 2008. Many gold production companies are already prepared for this situation and have already implemented their cost cutting plans to compensate for lower demands. Cash for gold would continue to remain a good option in tough times ahead as many people would like to sell jewelry in case they have in surplus quantity. Still gold would continue to remain a bright metal despite the low in economy. So if you have a gold reserve then you are still safer as you have a fallback plan in case other things fail to look up.

CoinsBullions asked:

The price of gold itself is up over 50% from its lows in 1999. Graded gold coins are up 70% in the last three years. Futures and options on gold have soared. Who knows how many thousands of percent you’d have made by investing in gold?

There are many major factors that make gold a great investment right now. Gold coin sale is still cheap, while stocks are expensive. In January of 1980, both the Dow Industrials and the price of gold were at the same level: 800. Now, nearly 24 years later, the Dow is near 10,000, while gold is less than half its January 1980 value. There are some great opportunities in gold stocks.

Governments will make our money worth less to pay off their record debts. Governments can print money to pay off their debts. But they can’t create gold. The supply of paper money can be infinite. But the supply of gold is extremely limited (they say that the entire gold production in the history of the world could fit on the basketball court.

Gold should do well in extreme bear markets. Silver more than doubled in value from 1932 to 1936 during the Great Depression (the price of gold was fixed by the government). The next long bear market was 1968-1980. Silver rose from around $2 in 1968 to a peak near $50 in 1980.

Gold stock will rise during inflation… and during deflation. Investing in gold is good inflation protection… gold rises as the value of the dollar falls. As the government lowers interest rates significantly and wildly prints money (creating inflation) to offset that deflation… leading to substantially higher gold prices. This is where we are now, and gold has done what it’s supposed to do.

When you buy gold coins, you lower risk in your investment portfolio. In the past, gold has tended to do the opposite of stocks…it skyrocketed in the 1970s, when stocks did horribly. Then in the 1980s and 1990s, when stocks soared, gold lost over half its value. Now in the new millennium gold has soared while stocks are still below their year 2000 highs I consider these to be the best opportunity right now. While gold stocks are up nearly 500%, investment grade gold coin investment (those that carry a grading of Mint State (MS) 63 or higher from the grading agencies PCGS or NGC) are ‘only’ up 70%. These coins peaked in value in 1989. They subsequently fell by 85%, bottoming in 2001. There is still 100% upside on the table here, and your downside is limited (since you’re close to meltdown value).

To own gold directly, you can buy common gold coins or small bars of gold. Common gold coins are known as ‘bullion’ coins. These include popular coins like Krugerrands or Canadian Maple Leafs, and they cost just a few dollars more than the current price of gold. These don’t have extraordinary upside or downside, they simply move with the price of gold.

Are you ready to invest in precious metals? Coins and bars bullions are the choice of any smart investor under the current financial circumstances of world economics. While the paper dollar is still devaluating, your gold investment will only increase in value.Reputable sellers online can provide direct access for your immediate investments in precious metals such as gold bars.

Wilson Snyder asked:

We now live in times of unstable economy. With the stock market plummeting and nationwide foreclosures hitting at an all-time high, gold has taken the place of stocks, shares bonds, real estates, and become the favorite investment option among prudent investors. Many seasoned investment experts recommend adding gold Bullion coins, such as $50 gold Buffalo coins (a.k.a 1-oz American Buffalo gold coin) and American gold Eagles, to one’s investment portfolio as a safer, long term investment against financial uncertainties.

Gold has been valued and cherished by peoples all over the word dated back to ancient times. European royal families and Asian Tycoons used to own a large amount of gold as a safer way to preserve wealth against deflation. Today gold is still considered a standard for monetary exchange in many countries. In the past five years, gold prices have more than doubled, rising from $400 to $970 today.

Gold coins are one of the most practical, yet effective ways to invest in gold, because they are easy to store and trade. $50 gold Buffalo coin contains exactly 1 ounce of 24-Karat pure gold, making it an ideal coin for investors. Although 1 oz gold Buffalo coin has a legal tender face value of $50, it is actually priced based on the gold content it contains plus a small premium. Since its inception, the $50 gold Buffalo coin has been carefully minted with uncompromising quality by the US Mint. The $50 Buffalo gold coin features classic American design, with a Bison on one side, and an Indian Chief Head on the other.

As America’s first 24-Karat pure gold Bullion coin, gold Buffalo coin’s gold weight and fineness are guaranteed by the US government. That’s why $50 gold Buffalo coins became an immediate success after being released to the public in 2006. All 323,000 gold Buffalo coins produced by the US Mint in 2006 were sold out that year, exceeding the total sales of American gold Eagles in the year 2006. I highly recommend you adding gold Buffalo coins to your investment portfolio as a safe investment.

I recommend you checking out American Gold Buffalo Coin. It is a specialized Buffalo Gold Coin for Sale site, offering a great selection of American gold Buffalo coins, silver Buffalo and Buffalo Nickels for sale. This website makes finding your dream American Buffalo Coin a million times easier. Be sure to try this website before you buy.

Carl Lucci asked:

In some of my last articles about gold and what I thought it would or wouldn’t do during the immediate future following it’s crash of 2008 and that it would take some time to regroup, rebuild and once again gain it’s footing.

That was over 8 months ago and gold is finally appearing to have some life blown back into it!  There are several dynamics that we noticed that were at play in the market which fundamentally were not buying this present stock market, global correction as totally bearish.

We had some significant numerous and powerful technical support at these levels, but the reaction of the gold market technicals is supporting a strong push up to the old highs of 1040.

HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEXT MOVE…

We’re looking at the abx, nem, the xau and gld for a SHORT TERM position trade here on the gold market.

If the stock market breaks down here, with a Friday close below today’s closing level it could be conceived as really, really bearish and may remain this way for a for a long, long time with the Dow heading into a technical “line formation”.  Does it spell doomsday?  No, just that Americans, the world community for that matter, will return to a level of normalcy not experienced since the 70’s or even further back in history, i.e., 1931

How does one play and profit from the next move(s)?

While there are no simple answers to the question, we plan on playing options on the oex (taking a straddle position). Why?  We feel the next move in the financials will be very volatile in a whipsaw move that will most likely scare the “*%^#@ our of every novice on the street, and make the experienced traders a ton of money, both up and down! Volume on the weekly is a strong telltale sign that something big is brewing in the stock market, as it has been moving up almost in a parabolic move straight up - this is an indication, and a strong one at that, that we are near a climatic turn at these levels.

IN TANDEM…

It also gives rise to doubt that gold would be moving above this 950 level in the immediate future.  We feel that gold will bounce off this level, LOWER, the stock market will mount a bear-market rally and another consolidation for the gold market will ensue below that 950 level.  This is typical when you have as many sellers above the market, as is evident with the 950 level in gold.  What happens next?  It is almost certain that after a sure and short retreat from this level that the gold market / investor’s will for the metal in a powerful upward lunge toward and subsequent *********** of that level and onward to an almost definite attack of the old gold highs of 1040.

WATCH THE 950 LEVEL

Gold has got to hit the 950 mark (that’s the way markets work) on the weekly charts, how it reacts to this level will be most interesting to watch.  While we don’t believe it will penetrate this level for several weeks, markets just don’t work that way, we do believe that it will back off, consolidate below it, consolidate, gather some new money/investor’s and run right through that level, like a hot knife through butter.

HOW TO BENEFIT?

Gold stocks! We’re playing this commodity in two ways.  First, we’re long the the abx straddle, as soon as we get a break or our indicators flash a bullish buy signal, we’ll lift a leg on the trade and ride the move up.  If the metal moves down to our next lower support level, we’ll ride the puts down and like-wise lift that leg.

Stay tuned, our times are not only exciting but are poised to be very profitable.

 

Robert asked:

economic times, just about everyone is looking for an investment that can provide substantial returns, and still maintain a relative sense of economic security. While no investment should be considered foolproof, gold coin collecting could be the safest available. Gold coins also offer a number of great advantages in addition to their relative financial safety. Gold coin collecting offers a great feature in that it has an inherent value. Gold is considered to be one of the safest investments among the many financial options. It has been considered the standard bearer, and its very nature makes it extremely desirable. It cannot be duplicated, or manufactured in a laboratory, and it is extremely difficult destroy once it has been refined. Societies from both ancient times and today have coveted this precious metal. As you can see from these benefits, gold coin collecting is a great way to invest your money. Another advantage of gold coin collecting is that is an extremely easy way to expand and diversify your investment portfolio. The facts that gold has historically been a great performer in the investment market, coupled with the coin designs can greatly increase the benefits of such an investment. By using your collection to diversify your portfolio, you’ll be more secure from changes in the volatile market. You may not realize it, but gold coin collecting is a legal way to defer taxation on your investment dollar. Until you sell your gold coins, that portion of your investment is not taxable. In addition, taxes wouldn’t be imposed on your gold coin collection if you exchange them for a different collection. Before making the decision to invest in gold coin collecting, proper research should be done. While it is perhaps one of the most secure places to place your money, it doesn’t provide a guaranteed return. However, by researching the market value of gold, the value of the coins themselves, and investing wisely, you can increase the likelihood that your investment will be a good one.

Luis Ovalle asked:


“Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the ‘hidden’ confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights.” This quote is by none other then the man that was in control of the Fed for years under various Presidents of the United States: Alan Greenspan!!!!! Have you asked yourself some important questions lately? Like; Are we going into Depression really? Why is the Government so intent on printing money like there is no tomorrow? How is it that the Countries of the G20, are following our lead with the decisions the Fed and the Treasury is making with your money? Are we bailing out international banks with our money on bad bets they made here in the US? Do you trust Wall Street and the fat cats that got bailed out first before you did? Are you ready to turn the page on the governments plan to leave you broke while they continue to pander to the lobbyist in Washington?

Dear concerned citizens, our Government and Economy are on the brink of a serious political and economic shift and you need to be aware of these trends as they happen. There are serious issues regarding a falling dollar, hyperinflation, rampant unemployment, destruction of the middle class, Bogus Wall street statistics, Ponzi schemes left and right, destruction of our trust in Government and the Investment class, that have led me create this group to discuss solutions that might help soften the blow when all these events lead to one of the great transfers of wealth of our time. Joining Gold Trends Magazine will give you a forum to discuss your worries post your articles and gather insights into to trading not just Gold but precious metals in general. Ask yourself when 911 transpired, why was the Government so concerned with you continuing to spend money and maintain life as normal? The answer is simple; the entire economy is one huge elaborate Ponzi scheme that the players at the top need to keep going or be found out. In fact the whole World economy is a massive Ponzi scheme, with the architects of the scheme at the top and you in the middle or at the bottom. Let’s look at the Bernie Madoff scandal and what he was able to accomplish in today’s economy. He ran a 50 billion dollar Ponzi scheme single handed (I think not) for more than 10 years which was paying quite nicely so long as he continued to get new investors to believe his unbelievable returns were real. Like the stock market, so long as there are new buyers for stocks rich people and corporations can keep producing underpaying contributions back to the investors. For so long as no one wanted there money back everything was perfect and investors could keep eating fillet mignon as long as you kept eating Spam. The minute good old Bernie couldn’t get his investors redemptions paid the scheme fell apart. Sound familiar??? Why does the government have to print trillions of dollars to keep the economy afloat now? The Government has taken the place of the investor, or consumer. The answer is clear, the money is not there, it is all credit and now the country is falling apart and the crazy thing is the Government keeps creating distractions for us so that we don’t see the truth, the country (meaning the Government) is broke. Ask yourself another question, if this is a Democracy and everyone told their congressman not to vote for the Tarp bailout for Wall Street, then why did they do it anyway? It’s because this is a Republic, and if the Government doesn’t deem you intelligent enough to make a good decision they can go against what you tell them to do anyway. This is another long discussion. Many people like you are forming communities of concern and social outreach to discuss these issues, Gold Trends Magazine is an attempt to make some sense out of these ideas and to separate fact from fiction so your decisions of how to protect your wealth with be the right ones. Please read the following;

“You always have to ask the question why is it that central banks hold so much gold which earns them no interest and which costs them money to store. The answer is obvious: they consider it of significant value, and indeed they consider it the ultimate means of payment, one which does not require any form of endorsement.” “Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the ‘hidden’ confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights.” By none other then the man that in control of the Fed for years under various Presidents of the United States: Alan Greenspan!!!!! So why don’t we hear good things about gold in the media like we hear from Alan Greenspan? Is it an effort to hide or cover up or withhold this information from us? The government has other motives? Why did the Caesars’ give bread to the people during the games at the Coliseum? It is called Crowd control my friends!!! Is there a reason they don’t want us to own gold? A possible answer to that question came from Thomas Jefferson, who years ago said, “If you can control the currency of a nation you can control its people.” Listen to the attitude of Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild. In a quote from a book The Secrets of the Federal Reserve, by Eustace Mullins, Chapter 5, The House of Rothschild, he says “I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.” The big money people in this country who run the country behind the scenes know that gold is the world’s only money. And if they can keep the common people out of gold then they can control them during economic crises.

So with the Ponzi scheme all set up and the powers that be running the show, do we fight it or play the game? While all the brokers are telling you to buy stocks and that they are cheap, and while more and more baby boomers are trying to make back their life savings from this current crash, there are going to be a lot of people making real money in the Gold Market and Hard Assets such as commodities. Analyst are saying Gold could rise to as much as $3,000 and ounce if not much higher with today’s prices hovering around 800 to 900 dollar. That is a huge increase and a perfect hedge against the coming economic disaster you are probably not ready to absorb.
