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.

say to you, there is no difference between a $100 Dollar bill and a $1 Dollar bill except the way the ink is printed on them. It cost exactly the same amount of money to print each of them. Ultimately they are practically worthless in what they are physically. If you however take a $.50 piece from the year 1880 which was made from 90% silver, that had value in and of itself. The Dollar had twice as much silver in it as the $.50 and so twice as much worth. It was the silver that gave it its value.
Can you see what I am saying? No? Well, today, one of those $.50 cent coins that have 90% silver content are worth $5.00. How can that be? I hear you say. Well, they hold there value and always will, inflation will make sure of that. As the Dollar gets less and less, silver & gold will rise and rise. If you buy it now, you can be sure it will rise within in a few years time and keep on gong for years to come.
In 1964, three silver dimes would buy you a gallon of gas; gas cost roughly $.27 cents. Those silver dimes today are worth a $1.25 each; those three silver dimes would nearly buy you a gallon of gas plus about $.25 cents in today’s Dollar value. That’s three dimes from 1964.
So what is happening is this, the price of gas hasn’t gone up, it’s the value of the paper Dollar that is going down. Inflation is causing deflation to the paper Dollar. Why? Everytime the government creates more money using their own money tree called the Federal Reserve (see, money does grow on trees), it takes your Dollar down in value a small percentage. Overtime this all adds up.
Its like this, if you have 10oz of gold and 100oz of gold exists in the whole known world, well then you own 10% of the worlds gold. Let us say that 10% gold you have is worth $100.00 and that is the world recognised value for 10oz of gold. Now let us say a huge amount of gold was discovered equalling to the same amount already in existence. That influx of that gold would slash your 10oz value in half. The more you have of something, the less worth it becomes. There is only so much gold in the world that has been found, this is why it is called a precious metal. In fact, such a small amount of gold is in known existence that you could fill a space of 20x20x20 yards when its all melted together into a cube.
This is exactly what is happening to your Dollar. Whenever thet government needs to pay off debt, it goes to the Federal Reserve, with its licence to make money out of thin air, swamping the economy with more and more money and inevitably devaluing yours. Only 5% of the money created is in physical paper money, the rest is in digital format. It could not be any easier, clicking a few buttons actualizes millions, if not, billions of Dollars.
It is an unsustainable method to create money whenever we feel like it. Eventually the Dollar will go to zero; it is on an uncontrollable inflation course straight into the ground. To protect yourself I will tell you this, go and buy gold and silver bullion. You don’t have to buy gold in coins or bars and have to store in some personal private safe. You can buy gold today online over the internet from reputable companies that will store it for you safely. Know this for sure also, that gold cannot be created out of thin air like the paper money we use today, the value holds through times of uncertainty and will rise in value as the years go by.
Why settle for paper when you can have gold.
