Gold & Silver

This article looks at physical gold, silver, platinum and copper regarding their respective versatility of use, durability, fungibility, store of value, liquidity and aesthetics which will yield a new perspective on precious metals (including copper).

What's the difference between 1 troy ounce of gold and 1 (regular) ounce? What's the difference between 18 and 10 karat gold? What's the difference between a .75 and 1.0 carat diamond? Let me explain.

Lorimer Wilson has had the majority of his 5,600 articles over the past 10 years posted on 20 different sites including his own "site for sore eyes and inquisitive minds" but has managed to keep a low profile in the process. That being said, his timeless articles remain articles for the ages. Read on!

History clearly shows that bear markets are the catalyst for big moves and bull markets in Gold and now, with odds favoring another leg lower, that will be more than enough to get Gold to break out and hit my $4,000 target by the end of 2024.

If you have not grasped the reality of what is likely to unfold over the next 6 to 12+ months in the global markets and that precious metals are the setup of the decade, then pay attention to the fact that gold and silver are poised for moves ranging from 40% to 240% over the next 12+ months depending on the scale and scope of this move...

After two years of declines, many investors sold their gold holdings and vowed never to invest in gold again. However, in the fall of 1976, gold began an ascent that saw it rise 750%, peaking at $850 a troy ounce three years and four months later. After a 3-year correction, the same opportunity to buy low exists today, just as it did in 1976.
