Gold a highly liquid reserve currency and a hedge against Inflation

Gold a highly liquid reserve currency and a hedge against Inflation

Gold was used as a "reserve currency" and an inflation hedge because it could hold its value over hundreds if not thousands of years ...
Why invest in Gold , because Gold is :
* Is portable and divisible. Its weight easily determine the value of the object;
* Is indestructible;
* Is easily recognizable and acceptable form of payment.

Whether in times of crisis and in times of prosperity, gold endures. The cyclical nature of the market is a historical fact and discharged, but gold is able to maintain its value over time. By contrast, many currencies (including the U.S. dollar) and industrial raw materials have generally lost value. This is because gold is often bought to hedge the risks of inflation and currency fluctuations and also because many investors around the world see gold as a safe haven of last resort, safe and important part of their investment portfolio. The 'gold maintained its value against the U.S. inflation rate over the past 200 years.
In other words, the value of gold - or what you can buy goods or services - has remained fairly stable over time. For example, a man dress in 16th century England at the time of King Henry VIII cost the equivalent of one ounce gold price that you can now also pay for a modern dress.
Safe haven

Gold is known as a safe haven. Throughout history, national currencies have been considerable fluctuations while gold remained fairly stable. Is not directly affected by the economic policies of each country and can not be repudiated or frozen as in the case of some paper assets. For these reasons, one quarter of all gold held by the existing governments, central banks or other official institutions in the form of international monetary reserves. Nothing suggests that the ability of gold to maintain its value will change over time in the future, although for some time, the U.S. dollar as currency and the Swiss Franc have become increasingly attractive stores of value.

High liquidity

Gold is one of the world's economic goods more "liquid". It can be readily sold at 24 24 hours in one or more markets around the world. This can not be said for other types of investments including bonds or shares of major companies and organizations worldwide. In addition the commission on gold sales are comparable to those of stocks and bonds (securities deemed liquid). Finally, the time required to perform is that gold equities or bonds, and virtually identical.

Cash is Trash

Cash always gives those who are left holding it (when it collapses in value) the FINGER.Make sure YOU are not one of them..

Bob Chapman Silver could reach $500 an ounce

Bob Chapman - Silver TALK on Goldseek Radio - 02/2011
Bob Chapman :"...I do not know where silver is going to $500 or to $100 , all I know it is going up , same with gold I know it is going to $3000 easily ....."



Mr. Bob Chapman is 75 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, a year in Canada and a year in the Bahamas.


Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.


Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.


In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

BIX WEIR : AFTER THE CRASH

Bix Weir, author of the 'Road To Roota' Theory,he is a writer researcher and member of the GATA , His opinion is interesting, but something rings true to me about the US Note and the Chinese behind its introduction into our monetary system and the method for winding down the Fed system.He seems to think the GET Team conference call was fantasy, but I can't shake the locigal sense it all makes.If the yuan is to become the reserve currency, and we are all to back our currencies by commodities, this would be great.
Benefits everyone.And this ISN'T planet America, we need to realize that.


Like many, I really have serious trouble believing that Greenspan is a "good guy". In fact, I think he is very evil. I have studied what this man has done (and not done) during his tenure as Fed Chairman.. Dont believe Greenspan is actually a "good guy" and just going along for the ride or that there are others in government besides Ron Paul that are for the people. Agree the collapse of the fiat money system is inevitable, but dont believe Bixs fairly tale ending that the US will then have no need for oil due to technology and a wonderful life for all will ensue.Greenspan laid out enough rope to let international bankers hang themselves not to protect good people. He did it in line with other Illumanist in order to pop the ultimate bubble and rob the entire upper management/handling class so that they may strike down any challengers for power and move the world back toward a feudal system with a gold standard. Practically, they own all of the gold and would assure their wealth and power for a long time. It's long term defensive planning.I was a little surprised the guest didn't mention Greenspan was also a protege' of Ayn Rand.
