Gold Still Wants to Climb Higher

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:54:02 +0000

Over the last six months, gold has declined slightly in value relative to the dollar. Some analysts say gold may drop lower and are advising people to either stop buying gold or to consider selling their holdings.

However, I still expect gold to climb higher and see no reason to stop rationally including real, physical gold in your savings.

Here's why:

First of all, there is this very important perception among investors: that investing in US debt is a safe haven. While I personally think that a large global crisis will result when this illusion is shattered, my idea is not shared by many other investors. The result of this wide scale and, frankly, almost sheep-like faith in the United States to repay its debt is that when the world economy suffers road bumps, more people invest in the US dollar through purchasing US debt. This makes the dollar worth more on international foreign exchange markets; this, in turn, causes every other good, currency, product, and service to become worth less relative to the US dollar.

This perception that the US dollar is an eternal safe haven--which I still argue is flawed--means that gold will, relative to the US dollar, be worth slightly less. However, this temporary devaluing of gold happens only so long as this perception exists. This is one prime reason why gold has not risen relative to the US dollar, despite the many persistent signs that large problems still loom on the economic horizon.

There is even speculation that Greece will receive yet another bailout, which you can find in the second paragraph of this online article by BusinessWeek: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-02-16/gold-rebounds-silver-pares-loss-as-dollar-weakens-versus-euro.html.

Needless to say, this annual (or is now bi-annual, or, even, quarterly?) bailing out of Greece is most obviously a warning sign. There have been many Grecian bailouts already, and, while I will not flat out say that this newest bailout will not work, I am pretty sure that being skeptical of its efficacy is, given past experience, not foolish.

This is why gold should continue to be highly sought after, especially when prices are relatively low as they are today. If the market perceptions shift because of significantly bad news, those with gold will feel safer and be wealthier as a result of their precious metal holdings.

Guardian Article Suggests Gold May Top $2000 an Ounce in 2012

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:29:45 +0000

Even though gold prices, which are currently in the $1745 an ounce range, have dropped since their peak above $1900 an ounce, there is still rational speculation that expects them to rise yet again throughout 2012. Since there are still some very serious economic problems festering in various areas of the global economy, gold should continue to be bought as a safe haven. Also, the growing middle classes in India and China should continue to buy physical gold in mass quantities.

At the same time, the article is cautious because gold has been rising for many years now and may begin to experience some corrections. Also, when compared to an average year, there are fewer special days in India where gold is usually bought and gifted. This may mean less demand for gold. This, in turn, may bring down the spot price of gold globally.

However, the United States' and European debt crisis continues to worry investors and analysts around the world. Since this poses a severe threat to the US dollar, this is actually possibly quite good news for the gold price. This is because the US dollar has temporarily replaced gold as the best safe haven, at least in the eyes of many investors, since September. If the safe haven status of the dollar begins to falter, this would likely cause many investors to shift money into gold yet again. This, in turn, would likely drive up the gold price.

This article also suggests that now may be a good time to purchase gold. While there will likely be many ups and downs, and much depends on how the economy turns, here is another report that predicts significantly higher prices. Always remember that BullionUK.com offers dozens of the highest quality gold delivered throughout the UK and EU.

Instead of Panicking, View This Recent Gold and Silver Slump as Opportunity

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:16:08 +0000

While gold and silver have dropped rather recently, we need to take a step back and look at why this is happening. Whatever you do, don't panic or fear. Stay unemotional whenever possible.

First, we need to remember that the US dollar has been climbing primarily because of how bad the Euro looks. This is a temporary upwards movement. After all, the dollar and the US government have their own very serious fiscal problems. Right now, however, Europe is stealing the negative spotlight.

This is causing more investors to turn to US dollars in order to safeguard themselves against holding the Euro. This buoys up the dollar. This is bad news for gold and silver in the short run. Why? Because, on an international level, gold and silver are measured in terms of how many dollars an ounce is worth. When the dollar goes up, this just means that a lighter weight of gold and silver can now be bought for the same amount of dollars.

So, you might ask, if this is all temporary, then what does this gold and silver price drop really mean?

It means that, in the long run, this could actually be a great time to buy.

Rapid and large fluctuations like this indicate major uncertainty in the stock markets. In addition, the United States dollar will probably begin facing similar problems to the ones scourging Europe some time in the next few years. The United States is still very stable, but their government skirted a partial shut down twice now. Also, the US government has a ballooning national debt.

Combine this starkly troubling picture of the US with the European debt crisis. Eventually, the reality and pressing rush of time will catch up with the US. When this happens, they too will have similar problems. A weaker US dollar will once more push up the price of gold and silver. Combined with a possible drop in the global stock markets, gold and silver would continue to be the real, physical, commodity-based safe havens they have been and still are.

Basically, when Europe begins to crack, as it seems somewhat likely to do within the next year or two, then the United States will certainly feel the effects in a negative way.

Now, many people will say that the European authorities are working very hard with the European Central Bank to produce solutions to the European debt crisis. Perhaps these solutions will be partly or even fully successful. These crises may be averted and everything may be handled smoothly. Money may rush out of gold and silver and gleefully plunge itself into a revitalized global stock market. I do doubt it, however.

There is also a very real probability that things will not proceed smoothly. In fact, I think this is a far more likely outcome. Once something troubling enough happens in Europe, stocks could depress primarily in the EU but also around the world.

A global economy cannot lose a major support and still hope to do well. If this happens, then gold and silver will be very important for probably around a decade. During this time, many economic institutions and competitors will probably realign themselves into some new economic order in the midst of partial economic chaos.

That's why I continue to recommend real gold and silver coins and bars. The risks of a severe economic downturn are quite real. Here at BullionUK, we are here to help you inform and prepare yourself with a range of news articles, blogs, and premium gold and silver coins and bars. Research first, then take action; don't wait until it is too late!

French Banks Downgraded Matches Negative Economic Trends

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:59:50 +0000

Although stock markets continue to stay at relatively high levels, pay attention to the underlying health of the banking system in Europe. For instance, the three major French banks were all downgraded today, which suggests exactly what many have been warning about for some time: a temporary downwards spiral is likely. Things do seem to be worsening in the Eurozone despite the frantic efforts of governments to provide stability.

In fact, the UK has just become isolated politically and economically from mainland Europe as a result of these drastic actions, which could have far reaching effects in the coming years. Time will tell. But the fact of the matter is that the banks and nations of Europe are showing increasing fiscal strain, which will continue to unravel for quite some time. Once more, prepare yourself with gold and silver if you'd like to stay ahead of the curve and preserve your wealth in the upcoming years. http://www.bullionuk.com/investing_in_gold.html

Sarkozy Warns of Grave Threat to Europe

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:55:29 +0000

The French President today warned that Europe faces an economic dissolution because of the threats to the banks and the stresses on the social and political institutions. Once more, it makes far more sense to preemptively prepare for the break up of the Eurozone than to think that it might possibly find a way to fix itself.

Gold and silver continue to do spectacularly well as the financial system teeters on the brink of chaos. The ECB is running out of things to do to counter the accumulating crises and we need to take seriously the possibility that there is nothing that can be done in time. Chaos will assert itself temporarily. When it does it figuratively and literally pays to be ready.

That's why here at BullionUK.com we offer such a wide range of gold and silver products to our favored customers. People need to get ready for the economic storm and we are in the business of selling lifeboats to whoever is wise enough to take responsibility for their own life and financial security. Be ahead of the curve and make the jump to gold and silver before it is too late. http://www.bullionuk.com/about_us.html

S&P Ratings Agency Downgrades 15 Eurozone Countries

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:47:05 +0000

There's some more writing on the wall for the Eurozone and it is all negative. The Standard and Poor's ratings agency has just put 15 Eurozone countries on their negative watch list, which means a downgrade becomes possible and likely.

This is yet another small indicator of the larger problem I and many others have repeatedly been warning people about: the worst is yet to come. Buy gold and silver to prepare for this extremely uncertain time so that you and those around you have the best chance to weather the chaos. That is precisely what BullionUK.com are here for.

Gifting Gold this Christmas

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:28:25 +0000

Precious metals like gold also make great gifts. You are then literally giving your friend, partner, or family member the gift of financial well-being, a gift of a future. Plus, you’re gifting them a long lasting and beautiful gift. You combine gift with investment, two synchronic benefits.

Likewise, gifting gold and silver spreads sows the virtues of savings in culture and society. This promotes a vastly needed shift from economies of consumption, credit and debt to economies of production, wealth and savings.

Another intangible yet pivotal effect of gold gifting is that it gets people used to looking at coins for long periods of time without spending them. This reawakens an important purpose of money: as a store of wealth in addition to being a means to consumption. This is a good habit to spread throughout our credit-addicted societies of the West. While this isn’t profitable directly to you, it is a positive step for your family, our society and the world.

Critical Time for Europe

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 06:53:59 +0000

Italian bonds are rising rapidly and have broken a new record. This is yet another sign that the crisis is about to get worse. While the governments, central banks, and monetary funds of the world will do their best to solve this crisis, contemplate that there is a very real risk that they will be unsuccessful. After all, every single step taken to stem this crisis up to the present moment has likewise been unsuccessful.

Therefore, it is prudent and wise to begin preparing for the possibility of the European problem spiraling downwards quite quickly. In fact, this is precisely what is happening right now. Italian and Spanish borrowing costs have begun to increase rapidly, just as predicted months ago. The European contagion is spreading. At this point, it could be costly and foolish to expect a rescue plan by the major financial and political institutions to do anything but temporarily slow the breakdown. While a miracle may happen, it is wise to prepare for the expected and likely outcome, which will be highly disordered.

This could drop the stock markets worldwide, but especially in Europe, quite quickly. This will have far reaching social, political, and economic effects, almost all of which are temporarily destabilizing in nature. Money printing is a very real possibility, which would inflate the costs of regular goods at precisely the same time that wages are dropping. This will almost certainly lead to social unrest, the likes of which we have never seen.

In order to protect your wealth, BullionUK.com offers you a wide range of high quality investment grade gold and silver bullion coins and bars. This is the logical and timely way to prepare for every possible outcome.
