The decade-long rally that took the price of gold from $255 an ounce all the way up to almost $2,000 is not even close to being finished - in spite of efforts by governments to keep precious metal prices down.

But here's the deal - try as they might, market forces are at play and precious metal prices will rise, whether the governments likes it or not. And, governments themselves will be influential buyers once again in 2012!

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 value of a fiat currency - money, such as the U.S. greenback, that is without intrinsic value - depends on the full faith and credit of the country that prints it.

Today, with enormous levels of debt, the U.S. and the European Union are printing more and more paper currency. However, the process of adding liquidity to the system has created a farce.

Why Governments Interfere

By any conventional accounting standards, The U.S. and Europe 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 currency that's been unmasked. And that is precisely why governments interfere.

Higher precious metals prices have put the hot spotlight on governments that have been on a binge of uncontrolled money-printing.

Over the course of my 35-plus years as a trader on Wall Street, I have felt the direct hand of the U.S. government regulators on a number of occasions - and my Wall Street sources tell me it very recently happened again.

I remember the stock market crash of 1987 well. I was sitting on a trading desk in New York City when the U.S. government stepped in to support the stock market and crushed gold and silver prices.

And in 1995, I bought a huge chunk of silver, more than $1 billion worth, because I believed the price was too cheap - and it was.

When the silver price started to move higher, government regulators appeared on the scene. Those regulators told the management of the company I worked for, Salomon Brothers, to sell the silver we bought. We obeyed. We had no choice.

There are countless other examples of the long arm of the government meddling in the free market. And on the last day of February this year, it happened again.

The action in the precious metals markets again reeked of Washington and perhaps Brussels.

The day began with gold and silver moving higher.

Gold traded up to $1,792.30 an ounce and was fast approaching its key psychological barrier of $1,800. Silver had already traded through its $36 resistance level.

It just so happened that on the morning of February 29, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke was speaking before Congress. At the same time, the ECB was printing, injecting or simply giving $803 billion to more than 800 banks as part of its long-term financing operation amid the Greek debacle.

Usually, when Uncle Ben flaps his lips publically, precious-metal prices explode higher. This time, something different happened.

A Huge Sell Order in Gold

Some close friends who trade gold in the futures pits on Wall Street told me that just as Bernanke spoke, a huge order by financial giant JP Morgan came in to sell 15,000 contracts of the yellow metal - 1.5 million ounces of gold. That massive order took less than a minute to execute.

Abruptly, the price of gold began cascading lower. That giant sell order opened the floodgates.

I sat here scratching my bald head as I watched the action. To a veteran of the markets like myself, there could only be one reason. Someone wanted the price of precious metals lower.

It was strange. Central banks no longer are net sellers in the gold market. If there is any government out there that wishes to sell, there are scores of buyers that will gladly take the precious metal off their hands.

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

That's at least 450 reasons why the price of gold will continue to climb - in spite of that bizarre attempt at manipulation on the last of February.

All I can think of is that a controlled and slow rise in the price of gold is acceptable while sudden vicious rallies are not. Remember folks, those governments who bought gold last year include China, Russia, Korea, Columbia, Belarus and more!

Those governments bought because their gold holdings are low relative to total reserve assets. And they will continue to buy to bolster the amount of gold held as official reserves in their coffers.

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

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

The Bottom Line

G&G Readers … are you on that list of individuals and investors buying gold & silver or are you still dumping all your dollars into your 401K or TSP account at your J.O.B?
The demand for the shiny yellow metal continues unabated in the current global economic environment.

The bottom line is this: No government is a match for market forces. In the short term a huge sell order can stop the market on a dime. In the long term, the effect is minimal at best.

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

Put this in your memory banks when I told you so… "I EXPECT GOL TO HIT NEW, ALL-TIME HIGHS THIS YEAR!!!"

The precious metal is now hovering around the $1650-an-ounce mark as I type this e-mail, but my advice is simple: Use these futile, short-term attempts to control gold prices as major opportunities to increase your holdings of real money and your wealth is sure to rise.

My goal in 2012 is to find ways to take advantage of such a plan for my GGIS Subscribers. I will share many of these ideas here in the weekly G&G e-newsletter but if you want the meat, you need to become a paid GGIS Subscriber. Sign up today!!!

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

If you need a one-on-one consultation to learn how to implement these investments or any other on the GGIS portfolio, feel free to contact me to setup an appointment.

The Charts Say … Watch Out for Gold & Silver

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

Get ready for a golden summer.

Precious metals have been selling off lately. Gold is down 10% from its peak last August, including a violent $100 drop last Tuesday. Silver is down almost 30% since its peak last April. It dropped 6% in just one day last week.

But if gold and silver sell off hard today – perhaps in response to the Federal Open Market Committee announcement this afternoon – get ready to buy. A big drop today will set up a bullish chart pattern, which could lead to sharply higher prices by the summer.

Let me explain…

What is Gold Trying to Tell Us

Karibu (Welcome) G&G Readers,

As I've said many times before, if you want to make sound investment decisions, you need to study history and learn from the good and bad of the past. And an important piece of th past is plotting the story and history of Gold … the currency/money that as been around since the beginning of time.

Before we move on, we need to consider one more piece of the gold story... What happened to gold during the Great Depression tells me all I need to know about my government.

Many Americans don't remember (or were never taught) that all privately held gold bullion was confiscated in 1933. Yes, the government handed over $20 for each ounce, but it wasn't a free exchange. It was forced on the threat of 10 years in prison. If a thief sticks a gun in your face and takes your wallet, does it matter if he gives you back a token of your former possession? Nope.

If you are not familiar with the story, listen to the audio, "The Creature from Jekyll Island: http://www.gngassociates.net/ConfCalls/The_Creature_from_Jekyll_Island.mp3

The confiscated gold – all of the privately held gold in the country – was then loaded onto 500 railroad cars and sent to Ft. Knox, which was built especially for the purpose of holding all this stolen gold. All this gold – or at least a lot of it – would eventually be sent overseas in exchange for debts owed by our government.

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

In the 1960s and 1970s, as our government's annual budget deficit soared, our foreign creditors (namely France and Spain) routinely demanded gold in exchange for dollars at the artificially fixed price of $35 per ounce. Doing so made financial sense for them. On world markets, gold was trading for far more than $35 – it was going for $60-$100 per ounce. By trying to hold the dollar against the artificial $35 price, the U.S. ended up sending about two-thirds of our gold hoard – much of which had been stolen from private American citizens – to our overseas creditors. Finally in 1971, Nixon simply defaulted on our promise by shutting the gold window forever.

Few people talk about this... but the actual impact of all these legal moves and foreign borrowing was that the U.S. government ended up taking its citizens' gold and giving it to European central banks. There are a lot of "new world order" conspiracy theorists out there, but I've never heard any of them talking about how nearly all of America's privately held gold was stolen and then shipped overseas during the 1960s and 1970s. It's not a theory or conjecture. It happened. Even so, I'd bet less than one American in 100 has ever figured this out.

Just think about how that would have made you feel... especially if you or your sons had fought in World War II. Americans risked their lives to save Europe from tyranny... only to see Europe's governments conspire with the federales to take our gold. If it wasn't true, nobody would have ever dared to make it up – it's too implausible. And yet... that's exactly what happened.

Why This Crisis Will be Worse
Than the Great Depression

As I mentioned, in Buffett's upcoming annual letter, he rants against gold, saying, in effect, it's worthless and provides society with zero intrinsic value. It's hard to know if he really believes that's true... especially since his father understood the vital role of gold intimately. {You can read Congressman Howard Buffett's essay "Human Freedom Rests on Gold Redeemable Money" here: http://www.fame.org/pdf/buffet3.pdf}.

In any case, it's important to remember that before the Great Depression, our currency was still linked to gold and Americans owned more gold than any other nation in the world (until the federal government stole it from them...) Back in January 1933, citizens could exchange notes for gold at any Federal Reserve Bank. And America was still a net creditor to the world.

If you have never seen a Gold Certificate before, click on link below:

Why does this matter?

Because even though the 8.3% of GDP stimulus that was unleashed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933 caused us to default on the gold standard, it did not destroy America's credit. We were still a wealthy nation – by far the wealthiest on Earth.

Watching the rise of the Nazis, the Communists, and hearing FDR's rhetoric about a "new deal," creditors decided to stop lending gold – to anyone. That shut down credit markets around the world, rendering the global banking system insolvent. (As I mentioned, our government responded by taking all the privately held gold in America and stashing it at Ft. Knox – the largest hoard of gold ever assembled in history.)

These facts offer an important lesson. Even though the Great Depression was the worst economic disaster we'd ever faced as a country, it didn't bankrupt us – in part, because our government and our citizens kept their savings in gold.

This is one of the many advantages of gold that Buffett doesn't understand (or chooses to ignore). In a time of crisis, gold retains its value because it is the only universally accepted financial asset that isn't someone else's liability. Gold doesn't require the backing of any bank or government.

The problems we face today are much more serious. What plagues the world's financial markets isn't the political rhetoric of Western leaders – it's their balance sheets.

Today, America is not only a net debtor to the world, it is the world's largest debtor. Most of you already know that the federal government's total outstanding debt exceeds $15 trillion – not counting any future liabilities. Our government's debt is now certain to surpass our annual GDP in 2012. Keep in mind, detailed studies of government debt levels going back further than 100 years show that governments never repay debts in excess of 80% of GDP in sound money.

Obviously, that's a pretty big problem. But what isn't commonly understood is how these obligations also weigh against the total debt levels in the U.S. Americans also hold another $15 billion in personal debt – things like credit cards, student loans, and car loans. Plus, there's state and local debts... corporate debts, etc. In total, counting up all of the debts we currently pay interest on, the total debt of the U.S. is around $56 trillion.

The GDP of the entire world is only $64 trillion. Thus, our total debts are nearly 90% of the entire world's GDP.

This, if nothing else, should tell you there's a huge problem with the U.S. economy and, by extension, the world's economy.

My goal in 2012 is to find ways to take advantage of this attack on your savings for my GGIS Subscribers. I will share many of those ideas here in the weekly G&G e-newsletter as well.

But it is on you… If you're relying on the government or the traditional way of investing to prepare you for retirement, you need consider the reality that history does repeat itself if you keep making the same mistakes.

You can hope that it will not? But, unless you do something different to change the course, you'll keep getting the same results. In reality, you need to do more than hope. You need to make changes… See Quote below.
