Gold and Silver
Gold and Silver has been rising against the USD for many years… Starting any day now, this opportunity could hand a small group of savvy investor’s windfall profits…. Here is your chance to be one of them
Dear Fellow Profit Seeker,
One of the greatest opportunities in a long time is now developing and I for one will be ready when it breaks wide open. I would love to get you on the right side of it.
It’s a rare opportunity… in fact; there’s never been a development this big in our lifetime.
Because here’s the thing: when this event happens, the trading activity in the Precious metals market is likely to be faster and more frenzied than we have seen in years.
Those of us who play it right could make big gains, perhaps as much as 500%.
You see, the world’s super-powers are causing a global shift in the value of the U.S Dollar that will forever change the landscape of the world’s currencies…
Right now, China has $1 trillion U.S. dollars on reserve. But it’s becoming more and more likely that they will convert their reserves into the currency of choice – GOLD! And when that happens the U.S. dollar will go into a freefall… unlike any you and I have ever seen.
But that’s not all…
There’s also a very good chance that OPEC will soon follow suit and begin demanding payment in HARD ASSETS(GOLD)just as Iran has recently done… payment they currently receive in dollars.
OPEC currently produces over 40 million barrels a day at $55.00 a barrel.
After doing the math we come up with a total of $2.2 Billion dollars a day
Or $66 Billion a month! Maybe this is why currency Guru George Soros was recently quoted as saying he believes “The Dollar is going to freefall” and soon after Warren Buffett and himself placed an enormous bet on just that idea.
The founder of Microsoft Bill Gates said in Davos that he "is expecting the dollar to fall further".
Warren Buffett (the world’s second richest man, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chairman) said on CNBC television "Over time unless we have a major change in trade policies, I don’t see how the dollar avoids going down… I don’t have any idea whether it will be this month or this year or next year, but we are force-feeding dollars on to the rest of the world at the rate of close to a couple [1.8] billion dollars a day, and that’s going to weigh on the dollar."
Of course, once either of these events happen, Gold will skyrocket… or the dollar plummet. And well-positioned investors stand to make a fortune.
But keep in mind, too, that there’s also a ton of money to be made on just the rumor. So as soon as the mainstream catches wind, the markets will turn into a free-for-all… which is why I recommend you make your move now.
Because in all my years of trading, I’ve never been so excited about an opportunity…

The four best reasons to buy silver
U.S. Silver Dollars are the ideal way to position yourself in the silver market today. This popular silver coin is in short supply and gives you a profit double play: value in its scarcity and value in its bullion content. What's more, you get the added benefits of investing in non-dealer reportable semi-numismatic coins.
1. Double Play on the Bullion Content and Scarcity:
U.S. silver dollars are semi-numismatic coins - that means that they are very limited in supply! Investors stand to benefit in two ways: their value will increase as the price of silver rises. More importantly, as a semi-numismatic coin, their value is determined by the U.S. coin market. Since 1960, their value has appreciated over 1400%.
2. High Liquidity :
Thousands of United States coin dealers offer investors the advantage of a very liquid market. Estimates of the size of the global collector base for uncirculated U.S. silver dollars number in the millions - larger than any other tangible/collector asset.
3. Greater Privacy:
The government views U.S. silver dollars as "collectibles" - which is very good news for privacy-minded investors. Because these coins are not dealer reportable, they offer the investor far greater privacy. Of paramount importance, because these coins are collectible, they are more likely to remain legally tradable in the event of another 1933-type gold/silver confiscation.
4. Potential Price Performance:
Take a hard look at the market indicators. Available supplies of silver have been steadily shrinking over the last decade as primary silver mines close due to depressed prices. Demand has surged, as low prices make silver increasingly more attractive to manufacturers and investors. Now factor in the buying potential of wealthy investors diversifying into silver such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, and the upside possibilities are staggering!
SILVER BULLION, COINS, AND BARS
Silver has historically been one of the most affordable precious metals. The silver market offers investors a variety of products. Although there are several categories of silver bullion to choose from, we recommend you consider these popularly traded silver coins and bars.
1 Oz. American Silver Eagles: Silver Eagles are dated from their early inception in 1986 through currently minted 2000. They are minted at West Point, New York and are .999 fine silver. Silver Eagles normally sell for modest premiums above their melt value. However in late 1999, early 2000, the coins were hyped as \"collectibles\" and \"the last silver dollars of the 20th century\" which is true. Many of these coins were even painted red, white and blue to justify prices as high as $39.95 ea. The promotions were and have been successful, consequently causing the premiums on Silver Eagles to climb above their normal level of premium. Although the Silver Eagles are a popular \"bullion\" coin, experience tells us that the current high premiums on such coins will not last forever. When the promotion is over...it\'s over and the premiums will collapse back to normal levels. In fact, investors who have purchased Silver Eagles should call us to consider selling their coins at a profit or swapping to another form of silver thereby increasing their total number of ounces.
1 Oz. Canadian Silver Maple Leaf: Silver Maple Leaf coins, sold in a 1 oz. size, are made of fine 99.99% pure silver. The Silver Maple is one of the most widely traded silver bullion coins in the market today. If you are considering purchasing a bullion coin minted currently by a government, this would be an excellent choice.
Silver Bars
Although the popularity of silver bars has fallen considerably and wholesale markets consider them to be unfavorable, there continues to be those that ask about silver bars. Johnson-Matthey and Engelhard are two of the world\'s largest precious metals firms with operations around the world. When considering silver bars, investors should ask for either of these two hallmarks.
SILVER BULLION ROUNDS
Silver bullion rounds are a popular way to invest in silver bullion because one-ounce silver rounds offer the better of two worlds. Silver rounds are .999 fine silver, making them a pure silver investment. And, being one ounce, silver rounds could easily be used as money in a worst-case scenario.
ENGELHARD ONE-OUNCE SILVER ROUNDS
By far, the preferred one-ounce silver rounds are the Engelhard Silver Prospectors. Because Engelhard has not made Silver Prospectors since 1988, they are available only when they show up in the secondary market.
OTHER POPULAR ONE-OUNCE SILVER ROUNDS
Wall Street Mint and Sunshine Minting produce popular one-ounce silver rounds. The WSM silver rounds are designed after the classic Buffalo/Indian Head nickel. The Sunshine Minting silver rounds depict an eagle flying through the sun and are called Silver Eagles. Sunshine Silver Eagles are not to be confused with American Silver Eagles, which are legal tender $1 silver coins minted by the U.S. Mint.
GENERIC SILVER ROUNDS
Included in the category of generic silver rounds are all the silver rounds produced over the last thirty years by firms that are no longer in business. Also included are one-ounce silver rounds marketed by small firms that are still in business but are not well known.
Generic silver rounds usually do not display the manufacturing mint's hallmark or name, and they come in a myriad of designs. Sometimes generic rounds are loose in a bag, like pre-1965 U.S. 90% silver coins. Sometimes generic silver rounds are packaged in tubes.
Generic silver rounds sell at smaller markups than Engelhard Silver Prospectors or Wall Street Mint and Sunshine Minting silver rounds.
A recent quote by Paul Volker, ex-Fed Chairman, certainly causes one to stop and think, he said "The fate of the world economy is now totally dependant on the growth of the US economy, which is dependant on the stock market, whose growth is dependant on about 50 stocks, half of which have never reported any earnings."
Prudent investors are beginning to diversify out of financial institutions and paper promises and into tangible assets. Gold is recovering from twenty year lows, and today gold provides an opportunity to take a low risk position amidst volatile world financial markets. At the very least, gold provides insurance and peace of mind. In our opinion, placing a third of your money into gold is easy, it's what to do with the other two thirds that is so hard.
Better Way To Own Gold For the Past 6,000 Years, the most sought-after form of asset protection has been gold.
Gold is the most liquid financial asset in the world. It has no borders, is recognized throughout the world, and can easily be transported or hidden. For this reason, owning gold represents financial privacy and independence. Gold frustrates the attempts of governments to completely control the finances and lives of their citizens.
Gold performs the role as the only true money. Tyrants, dictators, can’t undermine its value nor politicians who print paper money at will, making their currencies worth less and less each year. Unlike paper money, gold hold its value over the long run. For example…
Back in 1933, you could buy a first class, tailor-made suit of clothes with a U.S. $20 gold coin or a $20 bill. Today, that $20 gold coin, worth about $1,100, will still buy a nice suit of clothes. The $20 bill, however wont even buy a decent necktie.
During the great depression, cash was king because cash was backed by gold. In truth, gold was king. While most assets plunged like a stone in the 1930’s, the price of gold shot up dramatically.
In a depression, economic crisis, inflation or war, people seek financial security. They invest in assets that represent more than just a paper promise to pay. For many, that means owning gold.
Gold Bullion, Coins, and Bars
An important measure of any investment is its liquidity: How easy is it to resell? Almost all gold bullion coins and bars are accepted in major investment markets worldwide.
Bullion is for those investors seeking narrow spreads between buy and sell prices. It's easy to track the value of gold. For instance just take a look at any major newspaper reporting the daily price of gold or just visit our " Quotes and Charts" page.
A gold bullion coin's value is based on the price, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution costs. They are typically minted in four weights - 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce - to fit a variety of budgets. The smaller sizes also make affordable and thoughtful gifts.
There are several bullion coins to choose from. We recommend the following coins because they are the most widely traded and accepted all over the world.
American Eagle Gold Coins
Authorized by the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins quickly became one of the world's leading gold bullion investment coins.
Produced from gold mined in the United States , American Eagles are imprinted with their gold content and legal tender "face" value. However, the face value is largely symbolic since their market value has historically been much higher. This has also caused some dealers to claim that American Eagle Gold Coins are "numismatic" coin, which is not only false, but we take issue with anyone who tries to convince you that they are. Please see our section on reporting requirements.
American Eagles use the durable 22 karat standard established for gold circulating coinage over 350 years ago. They contain their stated amount of pure gold, plus small amounts of alloy. This creates harder coins that resist scratching and marring, which can diminish resale value. Minted to exacting standards, the obverse (front) design is inspired by what's often considered America 's most beautiful coin: Augustus Saint Gaudens' celebrated $20 gold piece, minted from 1907-33. The reverse features a nest of American Eagles, symbolizing family tradition and unity.
Canadian Maple Leaf
Made of 99.99% pure gold, Gold Maple Leaf coins come in five sizes ranging from 1 oz. to 1/20 oz, (smaller sizes are often not available).
The Royal Canadian Mint was the first world mint to commercially produce 99.99% pure gold. Although this makes the coin "soft" and is more easily damged, this innovation gave the Gold Maple Leaf instant recognition when it was introduced to the bullion coin market years ago, and it remains the one of the most well recognized and sought after bullion coin in the market today.
South African Krugerrand
The South African Krugerrand was first released in 1967. For the first 20 years of its existence, it dominated the gold bullion market, and is still the most widely held gold coin in the world today. The obverse of this 22kt coin depicts Paul Kruger, President of the original South African Republic from 1883 to 1902, and the reverse shows the springbok, the national animal of South Africa .
Because the "spreads" are typically lower than other bullion coins, it makes it simple to know the exact value of your coins and are often purchased by "price conscience" investors. The Krugerrand is available in four sizes: one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and one-tenth ounce. Each size relates easily to the current 1-ounce gold price.
Gold Bars
The credit Suisse gold bar is an internationally recognized product made of 24 kt gold. It is unique among gold bullion products in that it comes housed with its own certificate of authenticity and purity, including its own unique serial number, which is stamped both on the bar and on the certificate. At one time this bar was the only way to purchase 24 karat gold at close to bullion prices. As with all bullion items, the bar trades for its content plus a small premium to cover the cost of minting, distributing, and advertising.
