Gold's price has quadrupled since 2000, yet this is just the beginning of a historic rise. Seven major forces are set to push gold past $2,500 – and we’re not talking about the tired old inflation story. Read the full report to find out how to play rising gold prices.
About the Author
Peter Krauth is the Resource Specialist for Money Map Press and has contributed some of the most popular and highly regarded investing articles on Money Morning. Peter is headquartered in resource-rich Canada, but he travels around the world to dig up the very best profit opportunity, whether it's in gold, silver, oil, coal, or even potash.
Why are so many articles out saying just the opposite? The Gold rush is over and buyers in gold are losers and the American dollar is strengthening. The recession is over and the market has bottomed out? Who can we believe?
Money can always be printed. Gold cannot. Gold is uncoruptable and will last forever and is
the ultimate store of wealth and value recognised everywhere through out the world.
Gold is also traded in futures and options market. There are buyers and sellers. Buyers are not backed by funds but only margin money. Similarly sellers (mostly) do not have gold to deliver. They are called short-sellers. Such traders have a vested interest in spreading negative thinking on gold and hence you will find such articles. Besides, the actual miners of gold have shortsold in advance good quantities of gold and are frantically trying to cover their shortsale, and hence such stories are being spread. Judge the views expressed by writers and arrive at your own decision as to which way gold is heading. As far as I am concerned, gold is heading up.
I would like to buy physical gold at a rate of 1oz a month. How should I start?
add an ounce of gold each mounth
Buy Numismatic vs. bullion due to Capital Gains Tax, 1099 reporting requirements, and confiscation laws….
Go to Bullion Vault.(www.bullionvault.co.uk) When you first invest they give you an oz of gold to start you off. You can also select where your gold is stored; New York London or Zurich.
Find a reputable gold bullion dealer. If you google, you should be able to find one in your local area or city. A good dealer should be honest, friendly and reliable and not pressure you into buying on the spot. My gold dealer sets the price which is the same for the whole day and charge me at the KG price as I buy quite often, rather than some dodgy dealers I've been to who's prices keep going up when the price goes up (but never comes down when the prices fall) and are arrogant and never negotiate on price. You can choose between 1oz gold bullion coins (buy the fine 999 gold ones like the Australian kangaroo, canadian maple leaf, credit suisse coins…..etc) rather than the 22 carat ones) or 1oz bullion bars or privately minted nuggets. you can find out more information on the internet. Good luck!
Please give me some good(reliable)gold site e-addresses.Thanks

Buying an oz. / mo. is a very smart idea – you will never regret doing this !

"Gold is incorruptible and lasts forever"
Isn't that precisely why supply will never run out but is rather steadily increased by roughly 2,000 tons every year. Gold, unlike other commodities, is never consumed, thus any shortages are the result of hoarding by Central Banks and now Hedge Funds, who need you to sell to to realize any profit. Mania may drive gold higher but watch out below. I have seen this movie back in 1980!
anyone interested ? make me an offer on a 5.84 oz nugget that resembles the head and neck of a tyrantasorus rex
Experience:
Here's a real life experience of the corruption within this industry:
I purchased some 90% junk silver through a company called Monex Corp. during the last explosive precious metals blowoff & sold it on the very day of the top of that market when silver was $52.50/troy oz.. A single bag of this junk silver we're told contains 720 troy ozs. of pure silver locked away in their clad form as coins. Now, as my old friend, Walt Sohnrey, told me many yrs. ago: The liars can figure but the figures don't lie: After giving the broker my sell order and he filled it, he came back & said to the effect that: everybody & their uncle had come in just that day with old cigar boxes & socks full of silver coins which depressed the price of my sale from $37,800 down to around $2,500 & that's what my check was but that's not profit, because I can't remember how much I had to put down on it to hold it as their risk taker with margin moneys on the side. Do you think I have any faith in the brokerages that deal in these speculations, when they let you hold the bag until it becomes a sure thing & then they use their positioning to make all the money? What kind of a caste system is that that controls our country and, afrer the bailouts we've undergone, don't any of you think for even one monute these brokerages won't insult our intelligence again with such charades which are smaller by comparison right now against the backdrop of the bailout $$$'s but you look out for yourselves working with brokers….they can be envious and/or covetous when they see and then want your profits for themselves!! Take physical possession and demand your rights when it is time for you to sell what you've earned or suffer the unintended consequences! There's nobody around who cares to take your side against a brokerage company as you can see looking at our present systems bailout mania. When we are too poor to fight and they see our urgencies to sell, look out they will take you for everything you've go & then some if they can!!

when are you expecting the gold is rocking up?
I am starting to believe more and more that Silver is a smart way to 'play' the precious metals market – especially if you have time to hold on to it.
“A visitor from another planet would surely be scratching his head about the current price discrepancy between gold and silver. The one that is the more rare and needed is selling for less than 2% of the price of the other. It would quickly occur to the alien that if just 1% of the money in gold switched into silver, that would equal an amount more than 3 times all the silver in existence. The visitor would wonder how so few of the earth’s 6.5 billion inhabitants could not see this discrepancy between two items that dated from the birth of human history. I’d be willing to bet that such an alien, should he exist and have a desire to make some big human money, would buy silver.”
– Ted Butler who writes for Investment Rarities and considered the World’s leading Silver Analyst.
So should we invest in companies that deal with gold such as coins or should we be investing in gold and silver itself?
reading on a daily basis of all the wonderful ,sky-high returns to be made, i cannot help but sticking to the golden rule of times,proven almost on a weekly basis ie; when something is too good to be true,it probably is.
the other one i remember well;–when the man in the street jumps the bandwagon, it's time to get off!
I have earned my money by working hard on a daily basis,still going strong at age of 65, investing carefully , sharing with the poor ,giving my tithes, thereby investing in my FATHER"S BANK OF HEAVEN and trusting GOD ALMIGHTY to be my Sheperd, therefore i have more than enough! I am satisfied and fulfilled, blessed by my LORD GOD.
Someone just had to bring GOD into it didnt they ?!
john,without almighty God, we are a solid ZERO,! I have been there, done it all, seen it all, —emptiness meneer!
He is watching you, so watch your tongue boet!
