A Few Reasons Why Gold is Going Higher

A Few Reasons Why Gold is Going Higher

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

Last week I talked about Silver…so I didn’t want to leave the shiny metals Big Daddy out…Gold.

As I mentioned last week, if you missed out before the last time, well here is your opportunity to jump on board.

The decade-long rally that has taken the price of gold from $255 an ounce all the way up to almost $2,000 is not finished. I write it again … it’s not finished.

Holding gold as an asset is nothing new. Over the course of history, this shiny, yellow metal has intoxicated many.

Even though gold went out of vogue in the 1980s and 1990s, it has now reasserted itself as the premier currency in a world of paper nothingness.


The Big (Cherri-o) British Mistake

Sometime prior to 1999, the United Kingdom decided that gold was a relic.

The U.K. held about 700 tons of the precious metal in 1999. Today it holds around 310 tons. Gordon Brown, the former Prime Minister and then the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was responsible for selling 60% of the country’s gold reserves at an average price of $275 per ounce between 1999 and 2002.

In February 2001, gold traded at a low of $255 and traders in the gold market appropriately dubbed the low as the “Brown Bottom.”

So…Sign up today!

-------------------------------------------------------------

No sooner did the U.K. stop the gold selloff than the market began to surge.

The U.K. was pretty much alone when it came to selling off its reserve asset and ultimate store of wealth. As it turns out, the UK left more than $19 billion on the table, at the last count, by deciding to sell the bulk of its gold reserves.


True Value of Paper Money Exposed

The value of a fiat (fake) currency - money that gets its value from government laws or regulations; i.e. money without intrinsic value - depends on the full faith and credit of the country that prints it.

Today, given the enormous levels of debt, the US and the European Union are printing more and more paper currency. The process of adding liquidity to the system has created a farce.

By any conventional accounting standards, these countries are so indebted that their paper currencies are worth only the value of the paper they are printed on - which is why gold has moved higher for a decade and why it will continue to appreciate.

It is not that the intrinsic value of gold has gone up - it is the intrinsic value of the currency that has been unmasked.


Governments Now Realize the Value of Gold

Central banks no longer sell in the gold market. If there is any government out there that wishes to follow Gordon Brown’s example, there are scores of buyers that will gladly take the gold off their hands.

In fact in 2011, central banks and governments around the world purchased a staggering 450 tons of the yellow metal.

Indeed, 18% of all of the gold mined in 2011 found its way into central bank vaults. Central banks now realize that owning gold as a reserve asset beats low-yielding US dollars or debt-riddled euros any day.

The central bank of Korea, the world’s eighth largest holder of foreign reserves, bought 15 tons of gold in November after snapping up 25 tons in June and July.

And, Korea is not alone. In 2011, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Belarus and Mexico, among others, have all added to their gold reserves and have plenty of room to add more.


Demand is still growing

The pace with which central banks and governments are buying is not slowing down.

Swiss banking and financial giant UBS a month ago noted: “Purchases of as much as 450 tons in 2011 may be repeated next year as Asian nations and emerging economies diversify their reserves.”

That’s at least 450 reasons why the price of gold will continue to climb.

The demand for gold from individuals and investors is also rising.

Chinese jewelry demand alone is around 13% higher year-on-year at some 131 tons.

China’s growing appetite for gold as a means of investment saw demand for gold bars and coins expand by 24% from year earlier levels to 60.2 tons. And, all this as the price of gold rose to new highs.


The Bottom Line

The demand for the shiny yellow metal continues unabated in the current global economic (crisis) environment.

The bottom line is this: Gold is in demand and that promises to continue through the coming months and years - primarily because it remains the most stable asset and currency in the world.

Gold is the closest asset to a sure thing that exists today, and its price is nowhere near the top.

If gold and silver prices are nearly certain to rise over the next few years (and probably rise dramatically), the simplest way to play that trend is to buy bullion… real, hold-in-your-hand gold and silver coins or bars.

And I recommend “EVERYONE” do just that… Buy some silver and store it away. Become a GGIS subscriber and I’ll show you how and where to do just that.

As always…feel free to pass this information on to anyone you think is interested in increasing their tax & financial IQ.

A New Bull Market for Silver

A New Bull Market for Silver

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

The silver bear market is over.

For those of you who are long time G&G Readers, you know I've been telling you to buy silver & gold since 2007 when it. If you are one of those readers who followed my advice you are sitting pretty happy right now and you are also in the right place and right time again.

You should know by now that I'm a chart reader. And the charts are in our favor, the next bull leg in precious metals is around the corner. But, are you ready to make a move.

If you missed out last time, well here is your opportunity to jump on board.

Silver bottomed two weeks ago at $25.65 per ounce. It happened during the typically quiet period between Christ (mess) and New Year's. If you blinked, you probably missed it. But it happened. The price of the shiny metal fell to more than 33% below its 200-day moving average (DMA) – thereby tagging the bear market target I set last April.

-------------------------------------------------------------

But over the past two weeks, silver has bounced back 17% ($30.08/ounce). That's a big move – especially for such a short time frame. But it has gone largely unnoticed. No one cares. No one is paying attention, except those of you who are G&G readers.
It's as though all the folks who were wildly bullish on silver early in 2011 have gone away.

Ahh un-wise one!

That, of course, is how bear markets usually end… quietly.

It's not the same with bull markets. Bull markets flame out in a spectacular, parabolic move higher in a rush of popularity… with calls for insanely higher prices. Those were the conditions in the silver market last April.

Back then, I warned that the silver price had run too far, too fast. It was trading 50% above its 200-DMA – a level that had signaled a top for silver in the past. We suggested caution and patience. And I speculated that silver could drop anywhere from 30% to 50% below its 200-DMA before finally hitting a bottom. That's exactly what happened two weeks ago.

Silver dropped down to long-term support at around $26 per ounce. It's still trading about 30% below its 200-DMA. Silver typically doesn't get much more oversold than this. In fact… except for the decline during the mass-liquidation event in late-2008, this is as oversold as silver has been in the past decade.

But no one cares. No one sees an opportunity here. Everyone seems to think silver's best days are behind it.

I can't say for sure that silver won't drift a bit lower from here. But just as I was confident the action last April was a sign of a top for silver and a time to be cautious, I am equally confident the action over the past several weeks is the sign of a bottom.

Now is the time to buy silver. A new bull market is beginning.

If gold and silver prices are nearly certain to rise over the next few years (and probably rise dramatically), the simplest way to play that trend is to buy bullion… real, hold-in-your-hand silver coins or bars.

And I recommend everyone do just that… Buy some silver and store it away. Become a GGIS subscriber and I'll show you how and where to do just that.

U.S. debt is now equal to economy

Akwaaba (Welcome) G&G Readers,

How much of a warning do you need. When the mainstream bank and government controlled media tells you to look out, it's actually worse than it is.

Wake up folks, if you haven't already started looking into other areas of the world to invest your money, what are you waiting on?

This is an article from todays USA Today newspaper. Take heed …

WASHINGTON – The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It's now as big as the entire U.S. economy.

The amount of money the federal government owes to its creditors, combined with IOUs to government retirement and other programs, now tops $15.23 trillion.

That's roughly equal to the value of all goods and services the U.S. economy produces in one year: $15.17 trillion as of September, the latest estimate. Private projections show the economy likely grew to about $15.3 trillion by December — a level the debt is likely to surpass this month.

"The 100% mark means that your entire debt is as big as everything you're producing in your country," says Steve Bell of the Bipartisan Policy Center, which has proposed cutting nearly $6 trillion in red ink over 10 years. "Clearly, that can't continue."

Long-term projections suggest the debt will continue to grow faster than the economy, which would have to expand by at least 6% a year to keep pace.

President Obama's 2012 budget shows the debt soaring past $26 trillion a decade from now. Last summer's deficit reduction deal could reduce that to $24 trillion.

Many economists, such as the Brookings Institution's William Gale, say a better measure of the nation's debt is how much the government owes creditors, not counting $4.7 trillion owed to future Social Security recipients and other government beneficiaries. By that measure, the debt is roughly a third less: $10.5 trillion, or nearly 70% the size of the economy.

That is still high by historic standards. The total national debt topped the size of the economy for three years during and after World War II. It dropped to 32.5% of the economy by 1981, then began a steady climb under President Reagan, doubling over the next 12 years. The combination of recession and stimulus spending caused it to soar again under Obama.

Among advanced economies, only Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan and Portugal have debts larger than their economies. Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Italy are at the root of the European debt crisis. The first three needed bailouts from European central banks; Italy's books are monitored by the International Monetary Fund.

The White House and Congress agreed in August to cut about $1 trillion from federal agencies over 10 years. An additional $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts looms beginning next year if lawmakers can't agree on a better way to do it.

Why the US and European economies are sputtering, other emerging markets are buzzing with loads of opportunities. As a matter of fact, check out this article from the Ghana times:

http://media.ft.com/cms/cd5824f0-2521-11e1-8bf9-00144feabdc0.pdf

Ghana, Africa was the fastest growing economy in the "WORLD" last year at 13.6%, while in comparison the US economy creept along with a makeshift 1% growth rate in 2011, and that's if you believe the fuzzy math the government puts out there.

Is this what Brother Malcolm meant when he said "The Chickens are finally coming home to Roost?"
With Ghana's vast growth opportunities, they still need the infrastructure and technology to catch up with the wealth and growth occurring over in West Africa. All this to mean … why aren't you over there looking for opportunities to grow your money?

I know why … plane old lack of knowledge.

Well…at G&G Associates we can help you increase that knowledge by being a GGIS Subscriber so that you can tap in to these vast opportunities as I bring them to our members.

So…if you aren't already a GGIS portfolio subscriber, you need to sign up today so you can be ready to pull the trigger on these opportunities when I bring them forth. Trust me … they are coming to a soon.

Tax Season is Approaching

Imhotep (Wisdom to You) G&G Readers,

Happy New Year...guess what is around the corner? That's right...Tax Season!!!

So, with that said...G&G Associates Tax & Financial Consulting Services has plans to bring in the New Year with a bang. We are here to make sure that we take care of all our client's tax & financial needs.

Now, with the New Year here...Uncle Sam wants his money. That is a good thing for some and a bad thing for others. Whether it's good or bad for you, one thing's for sure, you NEED to be sure you claim all of your yearly personal and business expenses!!!

One of the most overlooked record-keeping items I see my clients fail to log is their ending mileage for their vehicle. This is important to calculate your business use of your vehicle especially if you use your vehicle for business and personal use.

If you need a reminder on how to do this, visit G&G Associate's website, go to the Audio library and listen to the conference call Record Keeping & Vehicle Expenses. Also, visit the library for over 40 hours of educational conference calls to make sure you have your taxes ready for the 2011 reporting tax season.

Over the next couple of months I'll be holding live tax class webinars to get you ready for the new year and help you put together your information for the past tax season.

Look out soon for an e-mail referencing the schedule for these classes.

This year's tax season will be a challenge for many especially since record numbers of individuals have tapped into savings, retirement accounts, etc which may have caused tax bills you didn't realize.

So, it will be imperative that you have a tax professional and "not a tax preparer" doing your taxes. Trust me folks, there is a big difference.

One of the benefits of being a client with G&G Associates is that you'll get a free 30 min pre-tax preparation session to make sure you are gathering your documents appropriately before you submit your documents for tax preparation.

So, contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Visit our website for more information and free online webinar classes to help you make sure you are audit proofing your records, or contact us today to set your appointment if you need a "TAX" OR "FINANCIAL" one-on-one consultation.

Until the next time!
