Gold Holders - Be Patient

Gold Investors - It takes some willpower to stay with Gold as an investment. Every time it starts to take off, the Fed pulls another "fast one" on the rest of the world and brings real money, (AKA Gold), back down. But eventually they will run out of ways to fool the public as to what has real value - and then Gold will skyrocket! The Fed can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time,
but they can't fool ALL the people ALL of the time.

Why Gold at $1,200/Ounce Is Likely

Re: Sakata and Gold Baron; You are both correct, but an investor must compensate for manipulation of the markets which affect the prices and/or usage of Precious Metals by the world's peoples. The world's known reserves of Silver are only a 14 year supply - which is less than Gold, (according to the US Geological Survey). So why is Silver priced at such a pitifully small fraction of Gold? Owning Silver and Gold is a good idea for all investors, but I think owning rolls of clad coins is good for barter in the not-too-distant future How many Americans know Gold/Silver/Platinum from Shinola? Much less a clad quarter from a real Silver quarter.

Sorry Gold Bugs, It's Time to Sell

ANY investor who criticizes another for selling an investment for a 20+% annualized gain, ( for an extended time span), is way off-base. Yes we are in for severe inflation, (M3 up over 75% in 2008). However, four facts deserve consideration: 1) Where does GLD get its gold; 2)Do they have any real gold, (not just paper gold): does the bank holding that gold place the investor's interests higher than the Federal Reserve's interest; and 4)Specially in light of the Federal Reserve's war on gold since 1913 - the year the Federal Reserve was born - what makes you think the Fed won't make owning gold illegal again? It has happened before.

U.S. Mint Makes Drastic Cuts to Its Collector Gold & Platinum Coin Offerings

Invvestors and Savers; The main reason for the gov'ment's war on gold and platinum can be summarized in one word: HONESTY. The Federal Reserve. (the absolute dictator over the US gov'ment), will fight to the death
to keep the citizens in line, and letting precious metals serve as money would foment HONEST commerce and might lead to independent thought. So just be good little sheeple, bow your heads, and stay on the gov'ment plantation.

Precious Metals Manipulation: Lawyers Prepare for Battle

If the government-run courts even find for a supression scheme. That is highly doubtful.

Precious Metals Manipulation: Lawyers Prepare for Battle

PHILMAN:
With all due respect to your analysis of coming events in a "supposedly fair" legal US legal system, the government controls the military, and the military will trump US courts. So who will win? The Federal Reserve is flooding the world with dollars in order to FORCE other governments to back them in thei suppression of real money, (gold and silver). How many Tianamen Squares must happen worldwide before this is apparent?To paraphrase from the movie :Cool Hand Luke"; "You got your mind right, Philman"?

Gold is Money - And Nothing Else

The chief reason the Federal government mandates that ONLY their currency is legal tender is to maintain control over the mostly light - brained people/ sheeple. They hate Gold because they cannot manipulate Gold the same way they manipulate paper money. Although the Fed has tried to control privately held Gold by confiscating it from the people/ scheeple, making the world honor the dollar at Bretton Woods and finally telling other nations to go screw themselves by cutting off Gold redemptions, (Nixon in 1971). The same game has been played many times in the past cantury with ALL government paper monies having expired worthless. Americans will respond only when their worthless dollars cease to be redeemable for life's necessities. And Gold, (as well as Silver), will once again be recognized as real money, (despite the government's scorched-earth campaign to suppress real money).

Time to Buy Gold

Gold is REAL and HONEST money and therefore is government's worst enemy. I bought back in today, (trade entered Sun. May 18th), as I perceived Gold to have hit it's bottom and the Fed power to suppress Gold's price is fast coming to an end. The next leg up begins NOW!

The 'Death of Gold' Revisited

Am always surprised and bemused that those who delight in slamming Gold ignore the fact that one US Dollar printed today is worth 4 CENTS of a 1916 dollar; however every ounce of Gold - the Midas metal - is still buying the same amount - or more - of "stuff", (food,etc.) as it did in 1916. And Gold will still have value as it did 50 centuries ago while countless fiat currencies have come and gone
in that time.

Gold as an Investment? Think Again

All the governments of the world have con-vinced most folks that fiat money spun from paper, (think lead turned into gold), is the real measure of wealth, mostly because the government enforces fiat money on everyone). However, real money always wins out over fiat money. That is when owning gold pays off.

Gold: The Last Cheap Asset Class

Hey Bhakta: "Gold is real... paper is cheating." You are 100% right. That is why ALL WORLD GOVERNMENTS, (is there a righteous government on the earth?), would see us all dead before they conform to an honest gold standard. Governments lie, cheat, murder and call it 'war', (to fool their populations), in order to stay in control. Gold will hit $2000 an ounce when $2000 will only buy a months worth of groceries because of government - caused inflation.
Remenber inflation is an increase in the supply of money over the increase in the supply of goods produced by a nation. And who supplies the money? Federal governments. They have TOTAL CONTROL over paper currency, (which they produce), and very little
control over gold. So GOLD IS EVERY GOVERNMENT'S ENEMY AND MUST BE CRUELLY SUPPRESED.

Gold/Dollar Ratio Goes Parabolic

It pains me to think that government's all over the world value gold vis-a-vis paper monies which are intrinsically worthless pieces of paper, (fiat money doesn't even make good toilet paper). Gold has been a proven store of value, (#1 definition of REAL MONEY) throughout the history of the world. Governments can - and will - describe gold as a "barbarous relic" in order to maintain their absolute control over populations that are unaware they are being robbed, (by fiat money theft).

To Buy a Gold Stock or an ETF? That is the Question

Author is right on the money about finding gold mining companies without political risks. I like Aurizon because their mines are in Canada. Gammon has a little more risk with it's mines being in Mexico, but think the upside potential is explosive. Novagold has it's mines in Alaska and some very rich ground, (VERY MUCH gold in the ground). The Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just gave Novagold the green light, (in an environmental lawsuit), to start mining at it's richest mine. But risk is ever-present for the gold mining industry. I held Apex Silver for a few months, but after talk that Bolivia's new prez, (Morales), wanted to nationalize Bolivia's mines I started looking for an exit point. Then I read that Morales mounted his inauguration stage wearing a necklace of coca leaves and I sold pronto. Moral: buy mining companies that are most likely to benefit YOU. Every gold mine with real gold in the ground will make money in the next few years; many will not make their shareholders money, however. The risks are enormous. Nationalization of the mines and the current electric power problems in South Africa are two of the risks right now.
