Precious Metals Losing Steam = Perfect Opportunity to Start Investing
Is the precious metals bubble bursting or is something bigger coming on the horizon? From what I can see there is a serious disconnect between the paper and physical markets. I understand that due to current market conditions more and more investors are flocking to cash and dumping commodities however, I still feel that concern or panic is not needed in regards to the PM market. We just maybe seeing a precursory sign to more turbulent economic conditions ahead.
Fear not as below are my top 4 reasons on why the downturns are good:
1. When the value of precious metals starts dipping, this allows you to buy gold/silver at a discount. Remember, buy low sell high.
2. If you are holding precious metals for the long term to protect wealth, you should have almost zero concern. For those that think that gold/precious metals will crash like the real estate market, think again, history tells us a different story.
3. Gold prices falling will not last for long, global economic conditions are extremely turbulent and fluctuations are a given.
4. Those who want to store their wealth for a lifetime or generations will want to invest in something that is non-corruptible, cannot be printed, does not rot, does not expire, is portable and accepted all over the world. Precious metals is that vehicle to do so.

Gold & Silver Quietly Showing Strong Increases
With not much being reported in the mainstream media as of late, gold and silver have quietly started their strong and steady increases since June of this year. At the time of this post Gold closed at $1771.00 with silver closing $34.85. Anyone that invested around springtime of 2012 are now seeing some really nice gains at the beginning of the fall season.
Earlier this year I recalled seeing many posts out on the internet reporting of precious metals' imminent collapse, but like always here we are and precious metals are looking better than ever as a safe alternative investment vehicle. With Q3 now in the books as well as it being open ended who knows how high the price of precious metals is going to shoot up. Invest while you can, we maybe on the way to the moon in the near future.

Pullback In the Precious Metals Market..
Nonsense! I feel the need to post this reminder every so often when everyone starts to panic when gold and silver start losing some steam.
Yes, due to market conditions more and more investors are flocking to
cash and moving away from commodities. Especially when we have the euro crisis, JP Morgan loosing billions, middle east turmoils as well as a other factors happening in the world today. Concern or panic is not
needed. Downturns are good for the average
precious metals investor and here is why:
1. When the value of precious metals start dipping... not only does this allow you the seasoned investor to buy gold/silver at a discount, it also allows the everyday "joe" to get into the game as well. Start padding your investments boys and girls.
2. If you are holding precious metals for the long term to protect wealth, you should have almost zero concern. For those that think that gold/precious metals will crash like the real estate market, think again, history tells us otherwise as the value of precious metals has increased year after year.
3. Gold falling will not last for long, global economic conditions are extremely turbulent and appear to behave like a roller coaster on not just a day by day basis but now it seems more like minute by minute.
Keep on Stacking!

Precious Metals on Sale: Buy During the Dips
Yes I am happy Gold is down a bit today and I will be even happier if it loses some more steam. Gold currently is hovering around $1744 per ounce and is seeing 3% lows within the last couple of days due to "cough, cough", positive economic outlook or so they say.
As I sit here writing this, investors are once again sensing panic in the precious metals market and are starting to shout the "bull is over!" I am pretty sure we heard this mantra last year. Concern or panic is not needed and Let me explain why downturns are a reason for joy and not sorrow.
When precious metals drop you are getting a bargain when purchasing. If you are holding precious metals for the long term to protect wealth, you should have almost zero concern. For those that think that gold/precious metals will crash like the real estate market, think again..gold has never been worth zero, yet some stocks and currencies throughout history have lost 100% of their value. This fact should provide comfort as well.
Gold falling will not last for long, global economic conditions are way to turbulent for this to be permanent. So I say smile, there is a sale going on.

Precious Metals - How much Should I Invest?
This by far is one of the most frequented questions regarding investing in precious metals. The second most frequented question is what should I invest in? gold, platinum, silver or all three. I obviously do not know every single persons financial situation and each one of us is different but there are a few things that we can touch on that may help make these decisions easier.
1. The very first thing we need to do is get out of the mindset that we are "buying". I like to think more like we are converting paper assets into solid physical assets. We are not spending money on a product but we are merely transferring into something safer with the hopes we beat out inflation.
2. Come up with a single dollar amount that you can afford. Again, each individual's financial situation is different so take some time to figure out your finances. Remember you can always start out small and work your way up. So set aside a dollar amount that you are completely comfortable with and stick to it.
3. Now that you have money to spend, your next question is going to be what type of metal do I invest in? Since we are going for safety and diversity were are going to focus on bullion.
-Platinum (Per oz this metal is the most expensive)
-Gold (Per oz this metal is comes in 2nd place, slightly less expensive)
-Silver (Per oz this metal comes in third and is significantly cheaper)
Personally I believe you should invest in all three. 60% in gold, 30% percent in silver and the rest in platinum. If you are starting out small, you can invest in fractional amounts of gold/platinum (by the gram). Silver is very inexpensive and can be easily invested in higher quantities (oz, pounds) If you have a significant amount of currency set aside, investing in platinum/gold (by the oz or higher)is an option as well. The prices change often, so do your homework.
Again some individuals financial plans may very, this is just the formula that works for me. Be sure you always do your research before purchasing because investments always carry some risk. Hopefully this article will help some of those potential investors that are confused.

China's Possible Poweplay?
China is accusing the US of defaulting on it's debt...I am actually surprised that it has taken this long for the mainstream media to start picking up these reports and taking them seriously. Our debt is piling up so fast that from what I can see the US has no other option other than to do so.
China who is the largest foreign holder of treasury bills has every right of showing extreme concern. As well, other reports have surfaced stating that China is in the process of dumping these T-Bills.
Anyone can see that the economic power is definitely shifting from the west to the east and this process is happening at a rapid pace. Concerns - Even though we may not be able to pay our debts back to China in the form of cash we have plenty of other options if needed: U.S. land holdings, intellectual property, military secrets or the 300 million potential workforce that resides between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Just something to think about.

Gold, Hemp & The Fair Tax
As pretty much every American knows by now the federal deficit has become such a utter disaster that our country will be dealing with this ever expanding black hole for generations to come. Plain and simple this country is busted, broke and is in serious need of repair. Greed, budgeting err lack thereof, corruption, the globalist agenda and countless other injustices that have contributed to this crisis. It is about high time that we roll up our sleeves put aside our left/right political differences and get this train wreck back on track. We can no longer afford to sit idly by..real change needs to happen and it needs to happen fast. Here are a few thoughts on what we can do now to start righting the wrongs.
1. The Gold Standard: Once we moved away from a gold backed dollar to a worthless fiat currency, inflation and fiscal irresponsibility set in. Returning to a gold standard is really the only foolproof method of placing the government under fiscal discipline. You cannot keep printing worthless money if there is nothing backing it up.
2. Hemp: I believe this could single handedly turn around the economy as well as the entire nation and it is not because everyone can get legally baked. The hemp plant has so many uses from a textile standpoint: cloth, building materials, fuel etc. Lets legalize it, create some jobs and for God's sake lets start manufacturing quality products using this potentially abundant resource.
3. Fair Tax: Let's trash the federal income tax and replace it with a national sales tax (Fair Tax). What better way to stimulate the economy then by letting people keep and spend more of their own hard earned money. Let's do away with the endless tax laws and red tape. Government needs to keep their hands out of the piggy bank.
So I have stated just a few steps that deserve serious consideration by those that hold public office. As with anything, there are many questions and concerns that will need to be addressed and it certainly will not be easy. But the time is now to start standing up and steering this ship back on course.

Screw the Birth Certificate, Worry about the Dollar!
While everyone seems to be overly concerned about President Obama's birth certificate the media seems to be seriously underplaying the economic doom that is right in front of our faces. Trust me, this birth certificate issue is the last thing that we need to worry about.
The U.S. dollar is down to its lowest level in three years and after big Ben Bernake's speech yesterday things do not look to be getting better any time soon. Inflation I fear is going to be much worse than what the Fed's chairman is alluding to. Gold and silver are already showing this to be true since silver is just shy of $50 per ounce and gold is hanging around $1531. The dollar index at the time of this article is down to 73.18 and is slowly but surely sinking.
Precious metal investors are smiling but this is bad news for our nation. Hang in there folks as this is going to be a very bumpy ride.

Gold: Is it to late for you?
That is a question that has been circulating throughout the news media, blogs, forums and many other places for some time now. Gold closed just below the all time record today at $1244.00 per ounce. With that being said, many of us are now wondering if we have missed the boat and the price is just to high to buy in.
We are in the midst of an economic crisis and many of us are having trouble putting food on the table, struggling trying to keep the lights on and can in no way justify spending thousands of dollars on precious metal investments.
Over the last 10 years gold has increased in price over 4x. I personally bought in at 2006 prices which was roughly $600.00 per oz. There are currently no signs showing that this train is going to stop. With the Euro on shaky ground and economies across the globe struggling with debt I only see gold going even higher. Feel free to do the research yourself as the data does not lie. Again times are tough but sometimes you have to be tougher.
Purchasing power of the US dollar is decreasing everyday.
Personally I setup a budget that allows me to sock away money specifically for the purpose of investing in precious metals. The amount I save every month may not look like a lot in some peoples eyes but it certainly adds up quickly when your dedicated to saving for a purpose.
Make cutbacks on frivolous spending. Try to horde small amounts of cash and start investing asap. Silver which currently is an excellent buy and can be bought for $17-$18 per oz (Current price at the time of this article)and the price is expected to shoot up any day now. Silver is a cheap alternative and is a good place to start investing if the price of gold makes you quiver.
So is it to late to buy gold? I think not, I still believe gold is currently a bargain and you should start investing into precious metals as soon as your finances allow.

A story for the ages. Free ebook download
I stumbled across this somewhat short story that is so relevant to the times it is scary. This roughly 250 page work of fiction was written in 1979 by J. Neil Schulman. Ron Paul said it best "J. Neil Schulman's Alongside Night may be even more relevant today than it was in 1979." I personally just finished reading this book in about three hours time and enjoyed it from start to end. The story has everything; action/adventure, a little romance, espionage, politics and much more. This book can downloaded for free in pdf format or can be purchased in various formats. My promise to you is that you will not regret it.
