Four Bullion Portfolios

Please note that our recommendations vary depending on your concerns and the market. If you want to invest in gold and silver to protect your assets and have something easily divisible and spend-able to hedge currency depreciation or collapse, then:

• If you have $5,000 or less to spend
  At least half in silver (either US 90% silver coin or 1oz. Silver Rounds) and half in British Sovereigns, French 20 Francs, Mexican Pesos (10, 5, 2.5 or 2) or some other inexpensive, fractional gold coin.
• For $10,000 buy
  Two-thirds US 90% silver coin or 1oz. Silver Rounds, with the balance divided between a fractional coin like British Sovereigns, French 20 Francs, Mexican Pesos (10, 5, 2.5, or 2) AND Krugerrands, Austrian 100 Coronaes or Mexican 50 Pesos.
• For $25,000 buy
  Two-thirds US 90% silver coin or 1oz. Silver Rounds; half of the remaining third in Sovereigns, French 20 Francs, or 1/4 oz. American Eagles; and the balance in one oz. Krugerrands, Austrian 100 Coronas, Mexican 50 Pesos, or American Eagles.
• For $75,000 buy
  Two-thirds US 90% silver coin or 1oz. Silver Rounds; $5,000 worth of Sovereigns, 20 Francs, or 1/4 Eagles; the balance in Krugerrands, American Eagles, Mexican 50 Pesos or Austrian 100 Coronas. (For over $75,000 simply do multiples of this portfolio.)

James Turk: There is No Gold at Fort Knox

GoldMoney's Andy Duncan speaks to James Turk, Chairman of GoldMoney and co-author of The Collapse of the Dollar (2004), about his claim that central banks are holding less in their physical gold reserves than many assume. James Turk explains the problem that central banks report gold and gold receivables as one line item on their balance sheets. This allows them to lease out physical gold in return for paper claims -- posing the question of just how much physical gold is left. They also discuss the Gold Money Index and the gold-based Fear Index. Both show that gold remains undervalued compared with historical norms. They talk about how close we are to a "Golden Cliff", where the western central banks stop lending out their gold, and what the systemic repercussions of this are likely to be. Finally, they assess the chances of Western governments undertaking gold confiscation and capital control measures; the likely amount of physical gold held at Fort Knox; and the reasons behind their prediction of an upcoming failure of fiat paper currency. This podcast was recorded on 30 November 2012.

How to Buy Silver Bullion from a Local Coin Shop

How to Buy Silver Bullion

Today. a few friends and I went to my local Silver Coin Bullion Shop in Southern California and traded in our paper dollar bills into real money which is Silver. We asked a Few questions to Tracey from Covina Coin and Jeweler, who have been in business for over 20 years. She was very knowledgeable about Silver, the Economy, and even what's going on with the Manipulation of Silver Prices Remember that if you want to go out and invest in Silver, make sure to do your research about the person or business that you are buying from. As a matter of fact, shop around your local area to find the best rates for both buying silver and selling silver. Don't just go down to a random pawn shop, because they more than likely will rip you off, especially if they sense that you don't know too much about what's going on with silver. Many of them sell you silver for much higher than what the spot silver price is currently costing in the market place. At the same time, when you go and sell your silver at those spots, you can get a lesser dollar value than what the market will actually give you for your silver ounces. I trust Covina Coin and Jeweler because they always give me the best silver rates compared to other places around my area. As Always, Keep Stacking that Silver! Invest Wisely! -Luis Angel Echeverria Your Money and Silver Expert AE Mind Money

Silver is a Smoking Deal Right Now!

The supply of silver is drying up! I do not know what human do this, but they usually wait until the price goes way up before the buy. I personally think you should get in right now before it goes really hi.

Forget The One Ounce of Silver for 45 Acres!

Guess what there is only 1/2 billion oz of silver available for the market at anyone time, we use 1 billion per year. When hyperinflation hits there will be Trillions of dollars chasing those 1/2 billion oz of silver. We could see silver shoot past gold ten fold over night.

BEWARE of fake Sunshine, and Morgan silver bars on Ebay.

The cost of counterfeiting silver bullion won't give a good return until silver is several hundred dollars per ounce.

After looking on Ebay for some silver to invest in this week I came across these fake items. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sunshine-Mint-1-oz-999-Fine-Silver-Bar-Eagle-Design... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Morgan-Dollar-1-oz-999-Fine-Silver-Bar-USA-E-P-100m... Be careful when buying your silver folks.

Silver Vs Dollars

All precious metals are a great investment...Even Copper. Its all going up. Don't forget about diamonds, these are also a great investment. God knows we are not making anything in our savings accounts.The only reason a person should profit from silver is from the inevitable return to true value, where silver today is undervalued, whereas tomorrow it will be at par value. Let us remember that today we're able to buy 10 days of hard human labor (one silver troy ounce) for $30-$40 paper dollars. When the economic dream/nightmare ends, 1/10-2/10 troy ounces will be a days wage again

SILVER SUPPRESSION EXPLAINED by Bill Murphy

buying physical silver is NOT going to crash any bank, especially one that is owned by the Fed reserve. The whole system will come down eventually, but not because of 1-2% of the US population buying physical silver -lol Numismatic bullion coins make look pretty, but they are basically a scam in order to charge high premiums. When the SHTF, the only thing people will care about is the silver content. Fractional 90% pre-1965 coins are really all anyone needs.

Silver Shortage and the next Bullion Bank Run!

Ryan Brooks Silver Salvation ,The creation of Gold and Silver ETFs, as well as the growth of the precious metals derivatives market, has had a dramatic effect on prices. We talk to Bill Murphy about how growth in precious metals derivatives and ETFs has led to shifts in the metals market. He tells us why we should be concerned that HSBC and JP Morgan serve as custodians for the major gold ETF, the GLD, and the major silver ETF, the SLV, when they also have large short positions in gold and silver. At the end, truth will prevail. The precious metals "paper" market and the banksters manipulation games eventually will be unmasked.Government cant survive with higher interest payments upon its debt. Federal Govt. pays about 400-600billion a year for interest alone on its debt. Any increase in the interest rates will bankrupt the govt,, this is why deficit spending is so huge. Federal Govt. is merely a protection arm of the federal reserve bank. Welcome to the "United States of the Federal Reserve."

Marc Faber : I would rather be long precious metals than industrial commodities

"I would rather be long precious metals than industrial commodities," said Marc Faber at the annual London Bullion Market Association conference this week "Gold is not anywhere close to a bubble stage," "I keep in my toilet a picture of Mr. Bernanke. And every time I think about selling my gold, I look at it and I know better!" he added

James Turk & Max Keiser on the 2nd Anniversary of Crash JP Morgan buy Silver

The historical Au:Ag ratio of 16:1 does not account for past industrial use and subsequent waste... and future industrial use and..  recycling costs. Any other ratio is simply speculation. But silver, is my only intuitive recommendation.

In this episode, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert present the two year anniversary special of their Crash JPM, Buy Silver campaign. They discuss JP Morgan doing everything to protect the Queen of their massive silver short position - a position that has DOUBLED in the past two years according to Rob Kirby of GATA and Kirby Analytics. They also discuss Central Banks pullling on their own little bungee cords by printing money. In the second half, Max Keiser talks to James Turk of Goldmoney.com about the link between liberty and gold and the shooting war to follow the currency war. The also discuss the gold/silver ratio and why silver today is like gold at $600.

How To Profit From Gold & Silver In Volatile Markets

The price of silver has been notoriously volatile as it can fluctuate between industrial and store of value demands. At times this can cause wide ranging valuations in the market, creating volatility. Silver often tracks the gold price due to store of value demands, although the ratio can vary. The gold/silver ratio is often analyzed by traders, investors and buyers. In 1792, the gold/silver ratio was fixed by law in the United States at 1:15, which meant that one troy ounce of gold would buy 15 troy ounces of silver; a ratio of 1:15.5 was enacted in France in 1803. The average gold/silver ratio during the 20th century, however, was 1:47. The lower the ratio/number, the more expensive silver is compared to gold. Conversely the higher the ratio/number, the cheaper silver is compared to gold.

Peter Schiff : Gold was going to go up regardless the Election

Peter Schiff : The dollar was going to go down and gold was going to go up regardless. The re-election of Obama and the politics behind it just really shows the trouble America is in as a nation and as a society. The types of leaders we’re likely to elect, and the types of policies we’re likely to pursue are going to substantially undermine the economy. It’s almost like a self-perpetuating prophesy, because the more the government interferes in the economy, the more regulations we have; the more government spending we have, the more taxes we have—particularly on those with upper income—the worse the economy is going to get, the lower our living standard is going to go and the more good job opportunities are going to be diminished. And that’s very fertile ground for politicians to promise relief in the form of more government. And, more government creates the need for more government; because the more government we have, the more poverty we have. We’re in that spiral right now; this is how democracies die. We’re in a situation, votingwise, where we have more people in the wagon than we have pulling it. The way you get elected is you promise to people who are riding in the wagon more free stuff, an easier ride; and you also promise to whip the people pulling the wagon a little harder and make them do a little bit more. And as you do that, there are always people pulling the wagon who decide they are tired of pulling the wagon, and they want to jump in with everyone else. So you get even more people looking for something from government and you have fewer people to pay the bills. And this is where we are—a disintegrating nation. - in seeking Alpha

Jim Rogers Gold will Go Much Higher over The Next Decade

Jim Rogers: Yes, gold certainly over the next decade will go much higher. There is no question about that, but there are a few times when there is going to be more money printing. - in Jim Rogers Blog ( http://jimrogers1.blogspot.com )

Marc Faber : I do own some Gold Shares through stock options, because I'm a director of several exploration companies.

Marc Faber : Because I live in Asia, I am quite familiar with the Asian markets and economies. I have a bias toward Asian equities, especially because I can find deals in places such as Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong—stocks that give me 4–7% dividend yields. With yields at those levels, at least I'm paid to wait. Even if they're cut 5%, I'd still get better cash flow than I would from, say, U.S. government bonds. Consequently, I feel reasonably confident owning such shares.

Because I have allocated only 25% of my portfolio to equities, if the markets were to drop 50%, I would have funds elsewhere in my portfolio to buy more equities. That's not a prediction for a 50% market decline; it's just to say that I'm positioned in such a way that I could put more money in equities through a) my cash flow, b) my income and c) my cash position. And I do own some gold shares through stock options, because I'm a director of several exploration companies. - in the aureport

lower prices are coming soon - regardless - within a year we'll see 63/oz maybe 70. If you have the cash buy NOW. Buy into the dip not just at its lowest (I estimate 25.95). And remember, if it's not IN YOUR HAND... it may not exist at all.

2013 Gold & Silver Predictions

2013 Gold & Silver Predictions

Usually, coin shops, pawn shops & swap meet's will give you a "cheaper" price for junk silver vs. .999 fine silver. That has been my experience anyway..Places like Apmex will & do charge just as much as any other .999 bullion Find a source that sells mixed junk bags by weight - not necessarily by face value. (Usually 715 oz for approx 1000 face) Usually at or just above spot, currently 30-50 cents per ounce over spot. If you can't afford that much, the get a few friends and go in together and find a scale to divide it up by weight. Tulving is one source you might look into..

Peter Schiff on Market correction, inflation, gold standard

Not many people understand what's going on with paper money. “There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.” - John Maynard Keynes

Why Buy Gold and Silver? "Preservation of Wealth"

Look for the Government to do something called a GRI. (Guaranteed Retirement Income). They will combine 401k's, pensions and Social Security (apply means testing to each individual). then give you one lump payment. Hugo Chavez has sounded the alarm. The race for physical gold and silver is on. The western economy's debt based system is struggling to remain the global economic structure. The emerging markets including the BRIC, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific (East) are soundly backed by natural resources such as oil, natural gas, and are creditors of the western's paper game. Gold and silver are money and nothing else.
