Can Precious MEtals Keep on Flying?

Are you sold on gold? The precious metal outperformed every major equity index in the world in 2008. The question is, can gold—and other precious metals—keep on flying? Or would buying today be buying high and selling low? Precious metals have always been intriguing to investors because they tend to hold their value. In times of geopolitical crisis or currency devaluation, for example, the value of paper money might fluctuate, but a hard asset will always be worth something. As a result, historically, precious metals have been considered a “safe haven” in times of economic and financial instability. That brings us to why gold is on a tear today.. » read more

Tungsten as a Gold Substitute

Nov. 11, 2009 In early 2008 it was reported that at least some of the gold bars in the vaults at the National Bank of Ethiopia were fake. The discovery was made when bars shipped from Ethiopia to South Africa were returned after they were identified as being gilded steel. Gilded steel is a very unconvincing form of fake gold because the density of the iron alloy is significantly less. A steel bar identical in volume to the standard 400 troy ounce gold bars commonly used in bank-to-bank trades would weigh only 162.. » read more

Indian Central Bank Warns the Fed

06-Nov-09 Dear Reader, The week of November 3, 2009, could someday be known as a major turning point in the Great Monetary Calamity. The government of India traded away US dollars for 200 tons of gold - one of the largest central bank purchases in history. The Indian regime paid $1,045 per ounce, which means they believe a US dollar is worth one 1,045th of an ounce of gold - an amount that is almost microscopic. That's a far cry from the 1930s, when a dollar was worth one 20th of an ounce. It shows what the Federal Reserve has done to the value of the dollar since the Fed went into business in 1914.. » read more

How India’s 200 Ton Purchase of IMF Gold Affects You

11/03/09 Stockholm, Sweden – In a move that surprised many traders, the International Monetary Fund ended up selling 200 tons of gold to the Reserve Bank of India for $6.7 billion this month. Many expected most, if not all, of the sale to go to China. However, about half the original amount of gold, roughly 200 tons, is still up for sale and could go to China, another buyer, or be sold on the open market. What matters to you, dear reader, is that the vast sum of gold was unloaded as an official sector off-market transaction, taking place over 11 days in late October at market-based prices.. » read more
