Is gold still a good investment at $1,800 and higher?
Precious metals have been the best performing asset class of the past 10 years. Gold hit $1,800 mark recently. Gold is up over 32% compared to April 2010 and 470% compared to April 2001. At $44.8 per ounce, silver is up 149% from April 2010 and an unbelievable 911% from April 2001. At today’s prices, many investors ask themselves if this precious metals rally is nearing its peak. As you will see, there are many reasons for it to last for some more time.
 |
Basically, a high gold price is the reflection of how bad things are or are about to become. Any force that creates uncertainty and negatively impacts major asset classes such as currencies, stocks or bonds tends to increase the investment demand for gold. Hence, we need to identify such negative future forces in order to confirm the positive price outlook for gold. There are plenty of them. Find them presented below, divided into short-, mid- and long-term clusters.
Yes, the following list is a conscious indulgence in the pleasure of confirmation bias. Yes, perhaps a follow-up article should try to confirm the opposite thesis. Yes, a few hints sketching the opposite view will be provided. But for now, enjoy the exercise and don’t say you weren’t warned!
Short term (2-3 years) The euro: Greece, Ireland, Portugal – who’s next? The fear of further bailouts that could become bottomless pits is not subsiding. The heated political discussion, the wide spectrum of possible solutions, the veto threats from member countries and the ECB’s unpredictability – they all create additional uncertainty. Will the political decisions come fast enough to prevent blows to the eurozone’s credibility? How many more euros is the ECB going to print while buying up the maturing debt of the default candidates? There are some rough times ahead for the euro. The lack of reliable currency alternatives feeds the investment demand for gold.
The dollar: Same story, but worse. The Fed has been buying up outstanding US debt with freshly printed dollars, only on a much grander scale. This real-time dilution of the dollar demonstrates itself in the dollar continuously falling against most major currencies, commodities and precious metals. Look at any of the relevant indexes (DXY, CRBQ) over the past 10 years. They speak a thousand words. Any businessman who expects future dollar payments asks higher prices, reflecting on dollar’s ongoing inflation. This is a self-feeding spiral and the Fed has not made any effort to stop it.
The Middle East & Northern Africa: The military conflict in Libya and further potentially contagious unrests in the Middle East (Bahrain, Yemen, Algeria, Syria, Jordan) continue. The outcome and long-term effects on the oil price are yet unclear. High oil prices would dampen economic growth, reverse the fragile economic recovery and negatively impact the stock markets. Unpromising and turbulent stock markets force investors to flee to safe heavens such as gold.
Japan: The earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster will result in a long-lasting drag on the Japanese economy and the Yen. Those who argue that the rebuilding processes will actually boost Japan’s economy need to familiarize themselves with the Broken Window Fallacy. More importantly: Japan, being one of the top three lenders to the United States, may need to redirect outbound financial resources towards rebuilding its own infrastructure. This would further negatively impact the U.S. and the dollar, thus increasing the attractiveness of gold.
 |
Mid term (+-5 years) Central banks: Fearing devaluation of their forex reserves, central banks around the world have been lately increasing their gold purchases (becoming net buyers in 2010, after 21 years of net gold sales).
China: Has been looking for ways to diversify itself away from the dollar without causing too much damage to its dollar reserves. One of the ways is to motivate savers to invest in gold. China has a yearly savings rate up to 40%(!) of income and its government actively encourages citizens to put 5% of savings in gold.
The abandonment of the dollar: Investors and countries are evidently moving away from the weakening U.S. dollar. China abandoned the dollar in its trade with Russia in 2010 and has been working on a similar deal with Brazil. These BR(I)C countries now settle a notable part of their trades in their own currencies. Could the OPEC follow? Some sources indicate that talks with this subject have been taking place. Also, some prominent investors and entities took similar bets against the dollar: John Paulson made a fortune during the 2007-2008 crisis while most investors lost money. Today, the GLD ETF accounts for 14.93%, and the gold-mining conglomerate AngloGold Ashanti for 6.89% of his portfolio. A few days ago, The University of Texas put $1 billion or 5% of its $20 billion endowment into gold bars stored in a New York vault. You can expect many more stories like this as the weakening dollar forces countries, investors and institutions to look for alternatives.
US debt: Historical benchmarks suggest that the US debt as well as the debts of many European countries are now past the point of no return. In other words, any way politicians tweak the system (taxes, stimuli, laws), this debt is now too high to be paid back – virtually no country managed to recover from such high debt levels in the past without destroying its currency or its economy or both in the process. This destructive process is already under way – quantitative easing, government purchases of toxic assets, liquidity injections, etc. are just fancy names for money printing and the last desperate attempt to create the impression that these debts are being paid back – alas, with soon to be worth-less fresh paper money.
Long term (5-20 years) Baby boomers: Because most countries have no savings (rather, they have massive debts), in order to pay the promised pensions (at least on paper) to retiring baby boomers, they will have no other option than to print large amounts of money and debase their currencies. Gold, being the closest tangible yet liquid alternative to currencies will benefit from this development.
Military conflicts: From the historical perspective, the gold price tends to rise in times of heightened military activity. While the reserves of natural resources are shrinking, the global population is growing at a rate never seen before. Because a country’s standard of living depends directly on cheap access to natural resources, fights over the remaining reserves are not unlikely-we have seen a few just lately (Middle East, Afghanistan), and new areas of tension are already on the map: Russia has newly started voicing its claims in the untouched and resources-rich Arctic continent, but so have Denmark, Canada and the United States; the Chinese are heavily investing in exploration in Africa, just to name a few.
Peak oil: Oil production reached its peak in 2006, which was admitted by the International Energy Agency (IAE) in November 2010 (in the preceding years and decades, the IAE would repeatedly deny such scenario). Now it is official that we cannot increase oil production above today’s levels with the current and new technology available in foreseeable future. Demand for oil, however, is projected to rise sharply. For the first time in history, oil production will not fully satisfy the demand. As a result, the oil price may start increasing rapidly. Increasing oil prices will create inflation, dampen economic growth, decrease tax revenue and further amplify the need for printing money (which in turn creates more inflation) and force people to look for alternatives to cash savings – gold will be one of them.
 |
Now, what may be the opposite forces that could drive the gold price down? Let’s address the most obvious:
Trust (in the dollar) is powerful, and theoretically, it could last forever. Is it likely? You decide.
The power of the West to convince the rest of the world and its own citizens that everything will somehow be alright. Never underestimate it!
Solid, sustained recovery: Such recovery would reverse the current trend in the gold price. However, this type of recovery doesn’t set in overnight – solid foundations take years to build. Right now, no foundations for a new period of prosperity are being laid. The focus is on the preservation of the (fairly rotten) status-quo. The recovery is either fragile, or purely nominal (due to inflation), or not present at all. Therefore, there is no need to fear a genuine reversal in the next years.
Speculation, gold price manipulation and high volatility: Yes, (sharp) corrections or whatever you choose to call them are possible in the short term – and they will shake out gold from weak hands. However, the dominant mid- and long-term trends should eventually prevail.
Deflation: Don’t worry about gold. Deflation means a lot of uncertainty, which is one of the key drivers for gold. Gold was in such high demand during the deflationary 1930s, that the U.S. tried to prevent a depletion of its gold reserves by the Executive order 6102.
The altogether positive perspective for gold and silver doesn’t mean that everybody should jump to them or put all their eggs in one basket. In the short run, the precious metals markets could become very volatile (silver more than gold). But still these commodities always do well when the economy turns sour. That is why Investing in Gold is still a very prudent and sound strategy, even at these prices.

Pakistan’s Gold Rates
Gold is known for its value not only in making jewelry but also is its monetary value. In Pakistan the rate if gold is priceless for their personal use. There is not a ceremony that is done without the use of gold.
The jewelry that the women wear in Pakistan serves more the purpose of beauty it is also an investment. Pakistan’s has had a tremendous increase in the rate of their gold over the years. Producing some of the most popular gold jewelry has helped its gold industry.
The gold trade in Pakistan depends solely on the imported gold that comes from Dubai. Pakistan is also the home of one of the most prosperous mines in Pakistan. The Saindak mine holds such a large scale of gold and other metals that Pakistan cannot afford to recover it. The cost of recovering gold from his mine is almost double the international cost per ounce. These factors have all lead to the increase in the demand for gold in Pakistan.
In spite of economic sanctions for gold that Pakistan experienced, their demand, for gold was not affected primarily due to traditional belief that this is feasible to investment in gold. Therefore, they still pay top rates for the import of gold from other countries. Many countries increase their rate because of Pakistan’s demand. Pakistan continues to pay these inflated prices because they feel that the long-term investment is worth the current cost.
Pakistan sells a large amount of their jewelry created from the gold back to several other countries and makes back a large amount of what is spent on trade. As long as Pakistan continues to use gold as a primary staple and cannot afford to access the gold themselves they will continue to have gold imported. These factors will cause the rate of gold in Pakistan to continue to increase.

Exquisite $10 Gold Eagle, A Golden Investment in Your Future!
In the world of coin collecting, one of the most sought after types of coin ever made is the extraordinary gold piece, or “Eagle”. One of the main reasons this coin is so rare is the fact that, during the time these coins were being produced, the average weekly wage for a worker was less than ten dollars. It was not very common for a person to be walking around with one of these gold eagles in their pocket. The congressional order to start producing these coins came about in 1792; however, it was not until 1795 that the first gold coins were released for circulation. At the time, gold was the standard of measurement when it came to matters of financial worth.
When coins started to be minted, initially copper and silver coins were made. This is because a bond of 10,000 dollars had to be posted by the chief minter and coiner both, prior to being allowed to mint gold coins.
At first these coins were only produced at the mint in Philadelphia, but over the entire history of the run, they also were minted in places like New Orleans, San Francisco and Denver. During its entire history of production, these rare gold Eagles were coined in much smaller quantities than those of lower denominations. Over time, Congress made a ruling that the amount of gold used in these and other gold coins would match the monetary value of the coin itself. Many of these coins would end up sitting in vaults and used as a form of transaction between banks, instead of between individuals.
On the reverse of these unique gold coins, you will find the Great Seal of the United States and on the obverse; you will find several variations, depending in which time period it was minted.
It was a common practice at the time to add a star to the coin every time a new state was added. The possibility of finding any of these coins, that were minted prior to 1833, is extremely low. This is due to the fact that they were minted in such limited amounts, that the odds of them surviving are almost non-existent. Another thing that adds to the rarity of the coins is that in 1933, the United States followed many other countries in going off the gold standard. Many of these coins were melted down to recoup their gold content, thus making these gold Eagles become even more of a coveted item for the avid collector at the time.
There is some confusion about the legality of having one of the last gold bullion coins produced. This is because some of them were released legally, prior to the order to stop releasing U.S. gold coins and the thought that they were just like the double eagle, which was illegally released. Even today, if someone is fortunate enough to find one of the few rare gold Eagle coins still in existence, they have without a doubt, found an item to cherish. When a precious metal, such as gold, is turned into one of these magnificent coins, you have a long-lasting piece of great value and a collector’s dream!

Value of the Eagle Gold Coin
The American Gold Eagle is an official coin released in 1986 by the United States Mint. This U.S. coin was designed as part of the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. An interesting fact about these gold bullion coins is that their market value is not their face value but more the market value of the gold content. For instance, as of Spring of 2009 the face value of the America Eagle Gold coin is but the market value of the actual coin based on content is around 0.The value of these coins fluctuate based on the current rate for gold.
Types of the Eagle Gold Coin

- The 1 troy ounce has a face value of , a diameter of 32.7 and is 2.87 mm thick.
The U.S.
government guarantees that these coins have the exact amount of troy ounces of gold weight that they are stated to have. Only gold that is mined in America is used in the creation of these coins. They also consist of some copper and silver to make them more durable. The American Eagle gold coin is in great demand by coin collectors everywhere although the fractional sizes of the uncirculated coins are no longer being minted.
Design of the American Eagle Gold Coin
Few coins have the beauty and classic elegance in their design quite like the American Eagle Gold Coin.
The design is the same beauty that was captured by Augustus Saint Gaudens in the U.S. Double Eagle gold coin created in 1907-1933. The ever-graceful Lady Liberty with her flowing hair is on the front of the coin. Her left hand is holding an olive branch the right hand holds a torch. In the lower left front of the coin is our Capitol building.
The words LIBERTY are on the top of the coin while the date is on the lower right side. The reverse side, a Miley Busiek design, has a male eagle holding an olive branch over a nest of American eagles (female and her babies). This design is meant to depict the security and strength of American families. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA are on the top of the coin while E PLURIBUS UNUM is on the left of the eagles while IN GOD WE TRUST is on the right. The bottom of the American Eagle Gold coin has the words 1 0Z. FINE GOLD 50 DOLLARS. The coins that were minted from 1986 to 1991 use Roman numerals for the dates but were changed to Arabic numbers in 1992.

Investing in Gold – A Proposal
The glitter of gold is everlasting. It was there and it is still one of the most desired objects on earth. Gold has remained a popular investment. In the early times, people use to bury gold bars or gold ornaments by keeping them in an urn or a container and exhume it when needed.
In today’s modern world a common person, either keeps it in bank lockers or invest it. Gold is the only precious commodity that is easily accessible as one can simply buy it from a gold dealer or a jewellery shop. Furthermore, gold commodities exchanges have made it a better option to enjoy the benefits derived from the profits earned on buying and selling it.
Investors usually purchase gold as a hedge to mitigate any probable economical, political turmoil or predicament and capitalise on its price movement, as it is quite lucrative. Usually such crises lead to a plunge in stock markets, war, inflation, unemployment and social turbulence.
Another reason of buying gold is that once the gold market sees an upside and all the world’s biggest gold commodity exchanges start showing a bull run, investors rush to buy gold which in the end results in a gold price hike, affecting the international gold market.
This usually results in financial gains for the investors in a particular time, small investors focus on day-today trading. However, the big guns of the gold market invest on a long-term basis.
Therefore, investors eyeing to invest in gold unswervingly have three alternatives. Firstly, they can buy gold as physical asset. Secondly, they can buy an Exchange Trade Futures (ETF) that facsimile the true worth of gold. Thirdly, go for trading in the futures and options commodities market.
Investing straight in commodities, such as gold or oil, is a difficult task for investors than investing in stocks and bonds; especially it tends to be quite intricate for a lay-man who is just concerned with the immediate result or gains without any complexities.
The primary reason for a low turnout in gold investment is that stocks and bonds are easily transferable. It is simple to get to the average common investor.
Furthermore, to understand the system of futures and options market whether it is related to the stocks and bonds system or gold commodity exchanges are quite complicated and inhibits the investor to go for gold investment through gold commodity exchanges. It is not the case with gold only; investment in any commodity is conventionally more convoluted due to its complex nature. You cannot just buy gold and stay back, for that matter one has to track the market dynamics and future scenarios.
It is never been advisable to put all your savings in gold, though, a percentage of your savings of investments should be endowed in order to remain on the safe side. While your liquid funds would be readily available in case of any emergency. However, if you just want to earn profits buy gold and sell it as the price rises.

Kb Gold Meeting Today
Gold. Gold has been a symbol of riches. Before the earth entered into using a fractional money supply, gold had been the standard of currencies. Gold took a back seat once fractional reserve currency came along. Before that time, literal gold and silver coins were used in monetary exchanges. Then came the invention of paper money and fractional reserve currency.
The moment in time has appeared to compensate the piper pro the manipulation of fractional reserve money. Fractional reserve money basically means that the money supply is printed and increased at what time no more than a part of the worth in gold is to be had. In truth, if the usual national did what the government does, it would be called counterfeiting. When you roll the presses and at hand is nothing to back the money but mere air, with the purpose of is a form of fake worth. Originally, the notion was that there was to be one dollar in gold worth to back every solitary buck in paper worth, and the paper was easier to joy. But the temptation to merely print dollars was so immense, that at what time the government needed money, that is what it did and subsequently at hand was barely a part of the worth in gold to back the at present larger numbers of dollars.
The moment in history has arrived for that excursion into the money bubble to be over. And it is concluding, not solely for the United States, but on behalf of the nations around the earth, since the national currencies and national debts are intertwined, and what affects one, affects all.
Since the currencies of the earth are devaluing, individuals are starting again to look to gold as a place to store and accumulate their riches. Generally, as the buck declines in worth, the worth of gold increases. It is believed that gold might rise as elevated as 00 an ounce in the next ten years.
Along with the decline of the worth of the buck, there is furthermore the decline and instability of conventional investments. Again, individuals are starting to look to gold as a safer way to accumulate riches. The setback is, when gold is sold by the ounce, the cost of an ounce is out of reach of many individuals. Many individuals, in this time of foreclosures and job layoffs, declining 401Ks and failing and falling stocks, do not possess the assets to acquire ounces of gold at a time.
There is one company that took action as the financial catastrophe extent, and the fall of traditional investments took place. This company is popularly branded as KB Gold in English. It is really a company that is expanding worldwide and giving persons an opportunity for a gold-backed savings strategy and moreover an opportunity to grow more income.
There is one thing to understand at what time you firm footing gold as compared to purchasing something else. Anything else you buy, a cottage, a car, clothing, food, anythingbegins to devalue the instant it is in your hands. Some things, such as food, are consumed completely and you are left with nothing. On the other hand, at what time you acquire gold in the current financial climate, it is at this time on the rise and dollar or currency-wise, you hold more worth concluded the long haul than with any other acquisition.
You dont in reality own more gold, but the worth of the gold you have increases, and this is due to what was already discussedfractional reserve money. At the same time as paper money goes to its authentic worth, which is zilch, for the reason that it was printed out of thin air, it takes more and more of these lesser-valued dollars to acquire gold which makes it seem that gold is worth more. In reality, gold constantly has worth, but its worth is reflected according to the worth of the currency in question. The more devalued the currency, the more dollars it takes to purchase gold.
So investing in KB Gold is a smart plan, as your investment is at this time on the upward trend. Also, they deal with grams of gold, which are more inexpensive than ounces.
KB Gold moreover offers a tremendous earnings opportunity. At this the point in time of layoffs and decreasing job options, the KB Gold opportunity is an really important facet of the company commonly known as KB Gold.
Cheryl Jones has been studying the topic of fractional reserve money for many years and is now glad that there is an alternative. She currently is working to help bring the knowledge of KB Gold to the world.

Why invest in gold
Today is the best time to buy gold. This year gold has rise more than 25%. It’s not uncommon to see gold reach high record this year. And it will still reach a new record in the future. There are many reasons for this.
There is a lot of uncertainty about recession and geopolitical. This year we have a lot of debt problem from Euro nation, like Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and Spain.
