Precious Metals are Like Financial Insurance

Gold Versus The Dollar

Safe Havens You Can Trust in Uncertain Times

For thousands of years, precious metals have been the “safe haven” people depended on during wars, recessions, and volatile U.S. stock markets, as well as times of inflation and economic uncertainty.

A core holding of precious metals serves as financial insurance for your entire portfolio. During the worst of times, they have proven to appreciate in value while most other assets lose their value.

We feel that prudent individuals who hold a balance of 10% to 20% of their portfolios in hard assets can reduce stock market risks dramatically and offset losses with considerable profits.

Insurance Against Stock Portfolio Risk

Precious metals protect you because they have a low-to-negative correlation with stocks, bonds, and the U.S. Dollar. That means troubled economic times that drive down paper investments drive up the prices of precious metals.

As U.S. Stocks soared in the 1990s, gold prices declined to a low of $252. Money rushed into U.S. mutual funds, risky NASDAQ stocks, dot coms, and high-tech stocks. Meanwhile, investors ignored gold.

Gold– An Investment Whose Time Has Come Again

We diligently preached the benefits of acquiring and holding physical gold, silver, & rare coins. As a result, thousands of our clients have profited greatly during the early phases of the bull market.

Like most investments, gold and silver can be volatile. Yet, they always have an “intrinsic value” and can never become worthless. Historically, precious metals protect against sharp declines in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and rally in response to a falling U.S. Dollar. Under the worst conditions, precious metals typically rise substantially.

Is History About To Repeat Itself?

In our opinion, those who acquire hard assets and hold them through the uncertain times ahead are making a low risk/high reward decision.

As global debt continues to surge, gold and silver could easily exceed the past inflation-adjusted highs over $2300 and $140 an ounce. During the last bull market of the 1970s, gold increased over 2,328%! Somewhere in between there’s plenty of profit to be made in precious metals.

Gold Offers Safety With Excellent Upside Potential

We firmly believe it has never been more important for Americans to “be prepared.” In a flight to safety, you must own precious metals. Further, we feel a balanced, diversified holding of gold, dilver, and selected U.S. rare coins may offer you both a safe haven and excellent upside profit potential.
