Taking into account 11 key measurements based on historical movements and price ratios, gold is likely to exceed $5,000 and silver is likely to exceed $200 within the next 5 years. If silver reverts to its historical ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, then it could rise even higher. Let me explain. Words: 661

Most signs point to a slow and steady recovery, but what if the pessimists are right, again? What if the United States isn't in the slow-lane to recovery, but rather on the precipice of another decline -- a double dip? [If so,] where might this re-recession begin? Words: 988

2010 will be remembered for the rest of our lives as Armageddon 2010. Things are getting out of control. We are all about to take a cliff dive together into who knows what?! We Are Doomed! The world is now on its road to ruin and there is no action, no leader and no new amount of printed money that can save the world or prevent a hyperinflationary depression. Words: 1716

Americans are enjoying their final days in an artificial economy that is being propped up by China and Japan... but when the bubble bursts we are going to see a societal collapse in the USA. Words: 694

While most investors are rightfully focused on the economic ills in the U.S. they are missing the big picture: America faces a debt disaster of untold proportions, the fatal blows of which are now arriving. The [very] survival of the U.S. and our way of life, not to mention many of our liberties, are at stake, which is precisely what gold's recent rally to new record highs is telling you. The dollar - and debt-based monetary system - is irretrievably broken, and its demise is the real reason behind the soaring price of gold. As such, it's now time for the U.S. to rise to the occasion ... to rise above the mistakes of the past — and usher in a new era of monetary stability and I have some radical proposals to do just that.

Wealth protection is now more important than probably at any other time in history. Physical gold and possibly other precious metals directly controlled by the investor will be a vital part of a wealth preservation portfolio. Words: 1614

Investors are looking for a safe place to put their money - an asset class they can "touch" and possibly trade even when no organized marketplace exists. That of course is the worst-case scenario and I do not believe it will get that far but the possibility is there and gold seems to achieve peace of mind for investors at the moment. As such, for me, GLD would be the only stock or ETF I would buy if I could own just one. Words: 862

The so-called U.S. news outlets are again talking about a “bottom” in the U.S. housing market – and trying to entice more victims to jump in. However, the reality is that mortgage statistics show that the collapse in the U.S. real estate market will continue to get worse until at least 2011. Words: 492

About 54% of GDXJ’s holdings are considered “small-cap” using the metric of a market cap of $200 million to $1 billion. The ETF balances this with 44% in mid-cap names (stocks with market caps of $1 billion to $5 billion). In addition, GDXJ’s country exposure should give investors some comfort. Nearly two-thirds of the assets are in Canadian companies. Australia and the U.S. also have double-digit allocations. Words: 533

It would appear that the U.S. is in an untenable position - between a rock and a hard place - in an inescapable debt trap - where the options are, at best, dire - hyperinflation or a deflationary depression! It would seem that all we can do is ride out the storm in a boat laden with gold. Words: 2283
