  • @vanessablackjack See what Ron Paul says Obama could DO TO GOLD IN PEOPLES' HANDS

    /watch?v=dbrsI8S4Tro

  • Let me show you How you could get into your hand real pure swiss phisical GOLD and SILVER!:) Also if you want to make a profit from the booming goldsilver market get in touch and check my vids.Yours in Success!

  • If you have money enough, then you can buy gold. I did it too - although not really much. But if people borrow money to buy gold without a real need - only in the hope to make a big profit- it is dangerous. The $ will become stronger again someday, and the trust ( Yes, we are down - I know ) and therefore the price for gold will fall again. Some will have made a profit, but many will be poorer than before. For me there are better possibilities to invest and to multiply my money, or to secure it

  • The real wealth is Not in the dollar...Real wealth is in industry, value of real estate, knowledge and understanding, kindness, who we are as people, the truth...etc. The fact is : there are creditors in Asia, yet debtors in America. Gold is the universal currency. The truth needs to be told...the U.S. dollar continues to depreciate!!! God is a hedge against inflation. Its smart holding gold over holding papter currency!

  • They shall cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be [discarded] like an unclean thing or rubbish;Ezekiel 7:19 (Amplified Bible)

  • well investing in gold is waste of time - the government will confiscate all gold again when dollar collapses - the real solution is science and technology - see zietgiest addendum for the only long term solution

  • @MrIzzyDizzy They won't seize gold in Switzerland....never did....

  • then you should invest in chicken :D

  • @just1believer haha.. yes I love chicken

  • I know I'm fucking stoned right now, but it sounds like you compiled your voice and mixed it into a conversation. One track to sound like on the phone and the other as you recorded your video!

  • @thecanadianstoner1 No we were sitting at a table but the microphone sucks.

  • gold has intrinsic value!

  • how does the american dollar affect the british pound and should i also invest in gold?

  • @XenatR Yes. All fiat currencies are being devalued by their governments.. Some faster than others. Gold keeps its store of values of the centuries.

  • The people selling gold are all too happy to accept U.S. currency in exchange for it. They must not think the currency is going to become worthless or they wouldn't part with their gold in exchange for it.

  • In the meantime..... grab some SLTA Soltera Mining since they are about to pull gold out in Argentina and just announced a billion dollar sugar daddy to back the whole process....

  • will the big financials dump gold into the market to drive down it's value? or wll we see gold go to five thousand by 2012?

  • has anyone seen the newmoneyworld site?

  • Count me in. The dollar will likely hyperinflate.

  • @CoinTreeMLM Only thing is hyperinflation is tough to time.

  • the personality contained herein is not without its own intrinsic entertainment value.....fuckin hilarious! hope theres more of em....

  • @ARNTORXWINDIRX1184 Wow.. thanks!! I am going to start posting more videos again so please subscribe...

  • We talk about the activities of our public servants as if they were some faraway group of people who have nothing to do with us personally. THEY'RE OUR SERVANTS.

  • In Holland, the price of chicken isn't going up

  • In Holland, the price of chicken isnt going up

  • @407buddy Yes it is called counterparty risk. That is why you should only buy physical gold. It is only a matter of time before this house of cards comes crashing down.

  • @ChrisPCrunchy : Not a good time to buy gold; it's going to drop dramatically. To less than 100 dollars a troy ounce.

  • @buzzclick500 Hope so I will buy a ton of the stuff. Im hoping for at least one buying opportunity before the crash and break up of the Euro and the collapse of euro zone economies. :-)

  • @ChrisPCrunchy : Are you an American? I hope so, and I'd love to hear a lot of us talking that. I wouldn't WISH that on Europe, but then we wouldn't be responsible--THEY would. ;]

  • IWashMyOwnBrain: If we lived our lives spending 30% more each month than we made and put all the extra debt on our credit cards how long do you think we could sustain that? That is exactly what the US has been doing for decades! Our national debt is 11 TRILLION dollars and will be 13 trillion by the end of 2010 thanks to Obama and his incompetant administration. Can you comprehend that this debt is unpayable? The dollar will crash and there's nothing we can do about it now except get out of it.

  • @anthonymellado , yeah, the us government doesnt care, they have all this gold in fort knox and when the dollar goes down in value relative to gold, the goverenment's gold reserve goes up in value so the government is ultimately protected, but the average citezen that has only paper money is screwed.

  • Comment removed

  • @brianmenendez: yes and that's why we need to act now in order to prepare ourselves for the problems coming in our future. I say we all need to do 3 things. Get out of debt ASAP. Stock up on dry goods that keep for years. And buy precious metals. Silver is best if you don't have a lot of money because it is still under priced even though it has doubled in value in the last year. Good luck to you and your family.

  • @brianmenendez The gold in Fort Knox hasnt been audited since the 50s. Some gold bars from the US were found to contain a core of Tungsten. All bulk gold from the US has to be sent to the London exchange to be purified. As if the US wouldnt have the technology to do this itself, it is a matter of lack of trust in a corrupt US government that makes this a necessity. Only 1% of gold traded on paper exists, When people ask for delivery most will get nothing, for the rest its a trip to the moon.

  • @ChrisPCrunchy : question: I know I must not be the first person to think this but......what are the chances that the US GOVT is taking a portion of all the usless paper money it is printing and buying up gold with it. I mean....it would be a great way for them to plump up gold reserves at zero cost to them.

  • @inkey2 I had this exact conversation with another YouTube punter My quote"It would be a master stroke for the US as they still have the reserve currency and the dollar is still riding high as a safehaven. As such the US could use useless paper with still wet ink to buy up real and inherently valuable material (precious metals)"

  • @ChrisPCrunchy : also......I don't see how it could be illegal to do so either. The paper dollar is legal tender to buy anything here in the USA.......even gold. The only thing I wonder about is in what way will it affect inflation or deflation....I am not sure how that would work.

  • @inkey2 It would in no way be illegal. In theory taking money out of the system and locking it into gold should mean less money chasing the same goods which should be deflationary, but if you are creating more new money to do so it would have no effect. It may make the dollar look more secure as it would be backed by more gold so imports may get cheaper.

  • @brianmenendez I wouldnt be so sure. The gold in fort knox has not been physically audited since the 1950s and the many attempts to do so have proven futile. Have you heard of gold swaps? Why swap gold for gold it makes no sense. Most of the US gold has been "swapped" out of existence. There are even rumours of gold plated tungstun bars in US deep storage.

  • @ChrisPCrunchy i see your point, our government and the federal reserve are so corrupt, i wouldnt put it past them.

  • Search "Gold Scam" on Krustbox (dot) com.

  • Dont let people scare you about the dollar all other currancys are based on the dollar. Lots of gold salesmen are trying to scare you into buying their gold at high prices thats all.

  • The biggest buyer of US bonds is the us fed. The US is taking on more debt that it is funding itself from thin air. This is printing money by slight of hand. No money reaches the real economy but is instead used to bail out the debts of financial institutions that made risky investments or industries that are uncompetitive. This causes a stagnation in the economy that can last for decades. Bonds will come due & debt will have to be paid back to foriegners, then the dollar will collapse.

  • yes, but they are losing value against gold

  • Notice all the commercials on the radio for selling your old gold? Companies know the US dollar is going to collapse and there trying to get as much gold as they can. Sadly the suckers who sell it are going to have nothing worth anything once the dollar is worthless and it's coming.

  • @HGeneAnthony Yeah they want to buy it at 40% of what its worth lol I will give you 50% of what its worth anytime in history. The dollar is backed by the U S military so its not gonna collapse anytime soon.

  • Hope your right! Although I don't know what kind of shape the dollar will be in when we supposedly borrow 3 billion a day to pay off the interest in our debt while funding two wars and a recession. I also don't know how the economy is every going to recover. I know we've had tough times before but we've never had it in the global economy we have now. A lot of jobs that pay a livable salary have been outsourced. Used to pay just manual labor jobs now it's any professional job that can be.

  • Of course government lies, because human being lies. Government is just a word what government actually is a group of politicians. And who says politicians don't lie!?

  • thats only 3 gs ass hole. guns, gold and geting wasted.

  • if you touch gold does it lose value?

  • Yes for each touch on a gold bar it loose about 0.000000004 % of it's value.

  • that was 3 g's

  • guns or ammunition?

  • if the waste hits the fan gold won't help you....in fact..the large majority of gold is OWNED BY the worlds reserve banks...they control it...!

  • Please explain what you mean. You can buy gold on several web sites now. So regardless you can still buy it.

  • GOLD GOLD GOLD PALACE OF GOLD

    BURN ALL US $

    KEEP THE HOUSE FULL OF GOLD....

    GOLD BULL GO Dirextion 3x SHARES

  • It was never the land that was overvalued it was always the structure that was bubbled. Sold my valley house 2005 620K land valued at 150k bought in 1995 232K land value 115K custom home too 55 years old. Now can someone explain to me why this unbelievable commodity called gold is available at all? I mean are the rich going to let all the equity of this slip throuhgh their fingers? Not in a pig eye. This seems to good to be true and you know what that means. Not smart ass wanna learn

  • Silver Bars are in stock at Scottsdale Silver -even accepts paypal

  • This is what I don't understand about money. About all paper money is really good for is kindling for a fire, and gold is too soft to make tools with, so how could it be more valuable than chickens or corn? That stuff is actully good for something. I guess gold is the most conductive metal though, so in this age of technology and wiring I guess it is good to have. Could somebody explane?

  • You can get a clear explanation, in five pages, if you read the chapter "the genesis of money" from the book "The Case Against the Fed", which you can find at mises . org. (search the site for the book, it is in pdf format)

  • Well if im not mistaken, gold is not more valuable than corn or chicken. The case for precious metal like gold & silver arises from the need to "trade" or "barter" with a smaller unit of value. Im not completely correct, but the evolution of the barter system is im sure. Plus Gold is shiny! Now ima read 7hooks recomendation

  • dont sell your gold

  • Diversified, own 5% gold 5 % silver of your asset,as hedge, paid off real estate property,Jewelries,paintings,p­roperty outside America,save,spend less vs.income,Gold is hot,when economy picks up, real estate boom,less un employment,people will sell their Gold and gold price will go down again.Fear drives people to buy Gold...can't eat it.

    Health,productivity,integrity,­righteousness,unity,are more important than Gold & Silver and other material things..

  • I agree with you on the most part. If you can buy real estate right now, do it. It's so cheap and will get cheaper for atleast this year. When the economy picks up, MORE and more people will again buy land since it'll be cheap which will cause another housing boom, but this time, it won't be a bubble because the land won't be over-valued. Gold is a safe haven and a STORAGE of wealth, hard to make money on but is hard to lose on.Dollar goes up gold goes down, but your gold is still worth the same

  • IN GOD WE RUST, IN GOLD WE TRUST

    FEAR IS VICTORY'S FUEL

    With enough gold & silver you don't need productivity, integrity, righteousness, unity or even health - you can buy all these or simply get away with the opposites of your laundry list of values if you have enough gold/silver... People care little about your level of morality-integrity-righteousne­ss-unity, etc... Gold and silver self themselves, what you are doesn't matter, simply that you have it for sale, and have good feedback on ebay

  • I know what you mean, what I was saying is..gold and Silver is just a commodity. tha is nice to sell when you need money...My health,imy integrity ,Family, is more important..that was I was saying...Gold and silvewr should not change the character of a person..

  • sorry about lack of editing last post... I think there is a positive moral ethic and value in getting more and more - for safety, responsibility and family protection... having more than you need in a lifetime SHOULD change your character and allow for more giving... if you don't have enough for the rest of your life you always will have some good reason to hoard - giving when you don't have enough for this is the hardest, the most sacrifice and risk. being rich is the greatest moral challenge

  • the movie SPEED had an enlightening comment about poverty, from the psycho killer dennis miller no less; he said something about poverty being insane, letting that happen to you... its also immoral to me from two directions - the lazy poor and the obscenely rich who don't pay their workers what they are worth, which someday should include stock ownership beyond ESOPs and profit sharing plans today, which largely only serve the CEOs... even Sam Walton says he regrets not doing more for the worker

  • dennis hopper, not miller

  • Yes, Dennis Hopper plays a great psycho (check out Blue Velvet for the 80's). Also, he's pitching some brokerage firm on TV. Putting money in the stock market? Dennis is still playing the psycho...

  • saw it, he did a good job in LAND OF THE DEAD also, more of a bad guy than psycho, but he put a trademark move on a guy in that movie - distinctly him... i've seen those ads, not what you'd expect from a hippie EASY RIDER but thats the way of things in the baby boomer generation - from idealized revolution to yuppie professional success... I've put in 3000 for my Roth so far this year, want to do a stock trade for the rest soon enough - ACTUALLY i have my watch set to call my dad about GOLD!

  • well u sell GOLD..dont u get TAXED on ur Profit gain? and dont u gota report to on ur taxes and all that crap??

  • good question. Do you think when the economy implodes and everything goes crazy I don't think anyone will care about income tax.

  • i dont think the economy will implode personaly..

  • I'd say you are supposed to pay taxes, but many people when selling crap; for example at yard sales,etc. Don't report that they have sold it, no way of tracking it.

  • > We have bank accounts insured now by the gov.

    You mean the government that is 10.5 trillion dollars in debt?

    Gee, I feel a lot better now.

    Do you know how much money the FDIC has (they are the ones that insure your bank) - About 50 billion dollars.

    50 billion bucks / 300 million Americans = $133 per American.

    Sleep well!

  • a lot has changed since this vid was posted.

    oil is $33/barrel

    gold is $810/oz

    silver is $10.50/oz

    Dollar Index is jumped to 84

    Buy on the dips, you'll probably never see prices like these again!

  • To Americans:

    The Federal Reserve says "foreign currency is legal tender in the US". Trade in every dollar you own! The US government lowered interest rates in Bank accounts to 0%. Yet they make prices skyrocket with inflation. There is no obligation as an American citizen to play this game. Use foreign currency on US soil! America produces no money suitable for our uses.

  • Oil has fallen through the floor, does that mean gold will come down too?

  • Gold is hyper inflated itself. Gold won't go down, as long as people are buying it.

  • > Gold is hyper inflated itself. Gold won't go down, as long as

    > people are buying it.

    You kidding me?

    When Henry Ford announced $5 a day for his workers, that was unimaginable. You know why?

    5 dollars was 1/4 ounce of gold. They were making 2 ounces of gold a week. They were auto factory workers.

    Convert your weekly salary to gold. What do you make? 1 ounce, MAYBE? 2 if you are in a white collar job.

    Gold, although it's skyrocketed, is still historically very cheap.

  • I never said anything about gold, fuzzy.

  • > I never said anything about gold, fuzzy."

    You said, and I quote:

    "Gold is hyper inflated itself. Gold won't go down, as long as people are buying it. "

    What point are you trying to make?

  • lol. I wrote those comments so long ago I forgot the 2nd one. My apologies. Silly me.

  • > lol. I wrote those comments so long ago I forgot the 2nd one.

    > My apologies. Silly me

    Always click the "See All XXX Comments"at the bottom of the page, then Youtube puts the comments into a reasonable order.

    And that's why I quote when I respond. Makes it a lot less confusing when you don't have it on all comments.

  • Hey, I can teach you how to create website and sell website over the internet, great business. Real job. Click.

    European, get a job folks.

  • Nice Video men

  • Gold ponzi scheme going around now.People take care of your savings if any.

  • too many radio commericials talking about buying gold...that should be your hint to get out of it.

  • Want to earn silver coins? Watch this video if you want to buy silver but don't have much money--- This is really fun and working. I just talked with someone who is getting 70 ounces per month FREE(for a little work)! These are VERY connected people and have LARGE amounts of silver. But if you are low on cash, this is an option you can take. Go to silversales(dot)net
  • Intrinsic value is the name of the game!

  • These jokers must be in the gold selling business. Sounds a lot like Mark Albarian, though I don't know for sure that it is. Whoever it is, they should better identify themselves.

  • where do i buy gold? should i buy gold coin or gold bar?

  • Gold in squirrel statue form.

  • i bought a golden ak-47 and i walk around with it strapped on my neck

  • Hey, gas prices are going up due to inflation. The price of barrels of oil stayed the same. It's not gas, it's the printing of money that is backed up with air.

  • It's $1.75 a gallon, the dollar DEFLATED a lot in two months. I seriously doubt that oil will go up for atleast 2 months. OPEC is the sole blaim for this global economic crisis. The $4 a gallon of oil just killed the world's economy and now they can choke on their oil for all I care because consumption is way way down. And they wonder why consumption is down. You cost people jobs, their prices go up, nobody could afford to drive. O well, late 2009 hopefully were outta this mess.

  • wonder full explanation for a lay men to understand ... keep it up boys... you are doing a great favor to world

  • raise the rates to 12 or 14% and watch gold plummet. thats how its done.

  • hey i hav a ? say if i buy an oz of gold and thats worth xxx amount of money....and say i find a 5lb gold nugget...is that worth more then the puchased oz of gold?? is gold only valueable if it is purchased then found??

  • a 5 lb gold nugget would be worth more than the face value of 5 lbs of gold. nuggets in natural form are worth more. theyre rare

  • I think a common misconception is that currency values fluctuate but gold only goes higher. You never hear about gold dropping because that's usually when the economy is strong so there's better things to talk about but all you have to do is look at past performance to see big percentage declines and long periods of stagnation.

  • Don't listen to these guys, they make it sound like zero risk. Talk to someone who bought gold at it's peak in 1980. I'm sure they heard this exact same pitch.

    While gold is a safe haven, over the short term it can be highly volitile, over the long term you may have to wait years to recoup your original investment, all the while earning 0% interest.

  • As opposed to anything else, including cash, which is losing value?

  • As opposed to T-bills for example, which are in such demand that their yield is almost 0%. As long as your not making any interest you may as well break even. If your into speculation that's another story, but these guys are recommending it as an investment.

  • Well of course it's not an investment, for it pays no dividends. It's a store of value. In your next comment you talk of longer trends but look even longer - if you buried gold 10,000 years ago it would still be valuable today. Last year? Still valuable. You're just pissed because you didn't buy it a couple of years ago at 2 or 3 hundred bux ;o)

  • Yeah, It would have been nice to get in at that price but I'm just happy I didn't buy at 850 in 1980 and have to wait nearly 30 years to break even.

  • I don't know Phonedial9, whats the difference between gold in 1980 and the gold price in 2008? I mean, in 1980, a gold coin could buy you probably the same amount today. Gold goes up and down compared to the dollar and SOMETIMES demand can cause it to soar. Even if the price goes down, that normally means the prices around you are also going down. You get my drift? 2000 years ago a gold coin could probably buy you food for probably 2 months. It can also do that today.

  • If a gold coin still has the same buying power today as it did in 1980 i'd call it a stable currency but hardly a good investment. If your confident of a long future of economic crisis and political uncertainty then jump in, but markets cycle and long periods of prosperity can decimate a portfolio weighted heavily in gold. If you think you can time the market that's another story, but then your a speculator, not an investor. This video does not make that distinction.

  • It's a 'storage of wealth' in my opinion. I like silver personally more, it's an industrial medal and goes up due to consumption. It's cheaper also :P. As far as gold keeping it's value, it IS money. In 2002 when it was what... $400 an ounce? It could STILL buy you two months worth of food, because the food prices were ALSO down. Gold rarely ever changes, I mean, unless there is riciolous amount of demand for gold(like this year around July).

  • I see what you mean, that's a pretty good point. But for investment purposes I'd still rather be in equities, even now.

  • Yeah, I mean it never hurts to buy some physical valuables. I like bullion and gems mainly.

  • You're a fool. Not only will our economy soon crash ala great depression the 2nd... BUT our country will NOT exist as is for much longer at all. It is already turning into the North American Union which I'm surprised most people don't already know about. This will make all US money worthless. THEN they will work towards a 1 world government police state, in which the Amero & US money will be worthless. BUT gold will remain nearly constant, regardless of your government of choice. BE SMART!

  • Our economy will be fine, you people who are claiming "The Next Great Depression" are ignorant and are scaring millions of others. This is nowhere near the Great Depression, I have a great grandma who lived through it and you better believe we still have it better now than we did in the 20's.

  • You are right. The doomsdayers are borderline retarded.

    Most of them have no idea that Japan has a national debt in correlation to its GDP of 198%, Italy 100%, the UK 103%.

    You know what the USA's national debt is in correlation with its GDP?

    It is 68%. Don't get me wrong, you need to borrow less and produce more. But the fools who say you are going to collapse know nothing.

    Many of them are haters from Europe.

  • interest... ha ha ha. who gives a fuck about 1.7% interest compounded quarterly when the U.S. Dollar is constantly losing value at an incredible rate as helicopter ben prints it hot off the presses and tosses it down to the banks in return for toxic assets? "give me all your mortgages haha soon i will own you all wahaha!"

  • Losing value at an incredible rate? Relative to what? other currencies? the CPI ? The dollar is weak against the Euro but hardly in free-fall. it's been pretty much stable and in fact has strengthened recently. As for the CPI, I don't see anyone paying $9.00 for a loaf of bread. Don't buy into the panic, that's what got the bailout bill passed, something you apparently disagree with.

  • its too soon. Give it time.

  • Investment 101

    --------------

    Rule #1 - By the time you poor chumps have heard of some 'get rich quick' scheme, you have already MISSED IT! You are simply being brought in to buy out rich investors who got in 1st & now want out.

    Rule #2 - Think for yourself, see opportunities yourself. Educate yourself about money & economics. If you make the decison & you lose it's your fault.

    Rule #3 - Product or source?

    Gold metal or gold mining shares? Dig well or utility company stocks? Dollars or gun?

  • Gold, The NEXT bubble!

    Step right up folks... listen to some ill informed drivel and hand over your hard earned future in exchange for some shiny bars of metal that will be practically useless in the years to come...

    Step right up!

    This way to the bearded lady...

  • what are you talking about. the gold standard has ALWAYS stayed the same since the beginning. it never has and it never will go through a bubble since its value isn't created out of thin air.

  • The dollar weakens... gold goes up in 'price' and dumb people think gold is rising in value.

    You convinve them to buy on the back of that lie and it's a bubble; one which is dependant upon confidence and recovery away from the price of gold. Gold coins have a premium 'because they can be used for currency' (right! as if). Another aspect of the inflationary bubble.

    Bubbles have 3 main characteristics; They sound plausible, initially have logical reasoning on their side & they eventually burst!

  • gold bubble? are you retarded? yes yes yes no im sorry you're absolutely right the fed is just going to print off a trillion dollars, hot off the fuckin presses, and thats somehow not only going to drastically reduce the price of gold, but also keep it below 800, which is when we'll all realize oh we shouldn't have fell for peter schiff's tricks he was just trying to rip us off! wow. WOW. O_o

  • The 'bubble' is the fact that now gold has a PREMIUM over its value against the near-worthless dollar. There is a PREMIUM for coins when any high carat gold will do.

    It is the premium which people are paying for something they could have had months ago and are now being brought in to buy out rich creeps who amassed gold back in 2006-7 and now want to take profits.

    People who buy now are buying at the top and will LOSE EVEN MORE MONEY!

  • Better to get out of cities, buy land, learn how to grow food + buy/make some landmines and get hold of a shotgun or four!

    Gold is for chumps!

    BUT if you do, don't forget to buy bolt-cutters so you can cut pieces-of-eight and hide your safe well!

  • gold is dead

  • no buy "Shit" it'a better investment than us stocks.

  • Aren't all commodities up right now?? It's getting pretty obvious that dollars are not worth what they are printed on...invest in real tangible goods...not services...

  • you mean buy physical gold or stock? because somehow someway that stock will get taken away from you. i recommend physically owning the gold

  • gold won't help. I don't make the rules but were gonna enter a dimension that will eliminate currency and or gold. Stock up on food, get a bicycle, and a tent. Your gonna need it.

  • Gold can help, you can just leave the country, and start over in any part of the world.

  • a twelve ounce can of soda at my local seven eleven is at 1 dollar even right now. It was only a few years ago maybe even five years that it was .75.... that's 25 percent growth over let's say 4 years. That's 6.25% percent inflation. and I suspect the curve is larger in the last year or two.

  • And that soda wastes valuable water that could grow plants or animals....

  • that is the most insane comment I have ever heard. First of all I wasn't making a commentary on whether soda is good or bad I'm making a commentary on price inflation. Second, so what if I drank a little less water and drank soda instead? it's irrelevant.

  • Just to expand upon my "insane" comment..Maude Barlow, Blue Covenant, Water Crisis, T Boone Pickens( trying to secure land and water rights through his"green" windpower investment. People w/money and power are trying to commoditize water. Maybe you feel it was an irrelevant comment, but if you extrapilate the idea of inflation, the idea of water being scarce, isn't that kooky...watch?v=fm98bmT2qMs

  • Hey...gold went down. Whatya know?

  • of course it went down, you expect stuff to go up forever? As an investment though it has consistantly outperformed the dow, if you look at a gold vs dow chart for the last 7 or 8 years, the dow has been crashing for that entire time when you price it in gold, but every commodity has corrective retreats in spot prices, you expect the gold chart to be a perfect 45 degree incline with no volitility?

  • and if you keep looking at that chart, that ratio will drop from around 13 (where it is now) to between 5 and 1... the high was in 2002 at 42...

  • Gold went down from a high of $1020 to $789 in August 15th of 2008. This means the dollar is getting stronger thru manipulation.

  • Gold is a way to hedge and preserve your fortune. Silver is a way to multiply your fortune.

  • really? So I should invest in Silver? How can I tell if its real? Because these arabs at the mall sell silver at dirt cheap prices. Tip of the day for you all, any coin before 1964 is supposed to be silver, so,(free tip of the day people) go to your local bank and ask them for 50 cent pieces and silver dollars, and you might get lucky and run off with some silver!!

  • your voice is trooooooooooo loud

  • exactly where online could a person buy a gold piece like above

  • I took my tax refund & bought gold.

  • I believe the best investment to be Canadian silver maples .9999 purity and legal tender

  • I agree that is what I bought the most because it is the purest and has the highest face value.

  • 100% accurate, you guys are spot on! I myself have recently invested in 1oz. silver bullion in order to survive the economic shitstorm here in California. Almost 5 u.s. dollars a gallon at the pump, and thats the cheap stuff!

  • I wish I could afford gold

  • Go buy silver as the total supply available for purchase is lower than gold. So you could say above ground supply makes silver more rare than gold.

  • davincij15's advice to buy silver is sound. It's highly probable that silver will actually perform better than gold, as it is well below its historical position relative to gold.

    Don't buy coins. Too much markup for the strike. Buy ingots in tradeable lots. 10 or 20oz bars, if you can afford such.

  • Never bought ingots myself.. thanks for the suggestion. I will check with my dealer with these ingots.. I agree that silver is the way to go!! The ratio between silver and gold will not be 50:1 for long.

  • Historic ratio is 1:16, though some suggest it may get to 1:5.

    And consider this. Gold to $5000 predicted:

  • Old gold coins, or foreign coins shouldn't fall under the "confication" terms that are in the "patriot act". The g-crudes are up to their old tricks, they did it once before in 1933.

  • thay don't play by the rulles if thay can take you gold bullion thay can do what thay want just keep you gold with you not in a safty deposit

    Platinum is about 30 times rarer than gold is.

    It's not a traditional monetary metal, however, it's extremely rare when platinum is less expensive than gold and it never lasts long. It isn't a bad investment (currently), but don't dump all your gold for it either.

  • Banks will NOT buy platinum bullion and since its only use is industrial, catalyst in chemical industry and in car exhaust systems,both of which are 'up sh*t creek without a loan' in 2009-2011 then I fail to see how this metal can rise. Uranium and copper, I see sense as stimulus packages equal electricity infrastructure and nuclear power station building... but platinum?

    Bought any expensive jewellry recently? Planning to in this severe downturn? Thought NOT!

    So why hold precious metal?
