Gold

This article illustrates that corrections in gold & silver are normal and present opportunities to add more ounces at a better price and now is such a time. Your future self will thank you.

The top 10 central banks with the largest gold reserves have remained mostly unchanged for the last few years. They are as follows:

The United States has seen four different gold confiscations — the last of which was in 1933. Few people realize that when the freedom to own gold was restored in 1972, the President retained the power to require us to surrender our gold which he can do again any time (probably on a Friday) with the mere stroke of a pen. That means all confiscated gold could possibly be compensated at only $42.22 per 1oz. and not at the world market price. Don’t take this decision lightly. It was another blatant warning that the government may be contemplating grand larceny — AGAIN. Words: 1740

The current meltdown of the world’s debt bubble is likely to continue in the course of the next months and Hugo Salinas Price, Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist and the president of the Mexican Civic Association for Silver, believes that the salvaging all debt and derivatives might require a gold price as high as between $22,000 and $50,000 per ounce. Here's his rationale.

While governments have consistently damaged their economies ever further, the house of cards, however shaky, is still standing. If and when the markets crash and currencies collapse, however, there will be a dramatic rise in the price of gold. Here's why.

If you’re a speculator in precious metals, now may be a good time to consider trading in some gold for silver. Here's why.

...It’s a confusing world out there. Some say gold is going to $700 (and they might be right, temporarily), and others say gold will shoot to $10,000 (and they might be right, temporarily). I’m in the middle and, when I tell you why, I hope you see the wisdom of why you should join me there, too.

Central banks and some very smart people hold at least a small portion of their wealth in gold as a hedge. Should you?

A meme is now circulating that gold is the investment equivalent of a pet rock, and that the smart investor should sell gold, and buy stocks. That’s a ridiculous notion. In fact, if you believe in buying low and selling high, this is the time to buy gold, and sell stocks.
