Paper currency is the most common form of money today. However, in terms of history, gold coins, silver coins and bullion have been used as currency much longer. These forms of currency also tend to be more reliable since they aren’t as susceptible to inflation and deflation. The earliest form of trade for goods and services was barter. The actual exchange of money dates to Mesopotamian civilization.

Silver was first discovered around 3000 BC in and around Greece. China became the first country to use a metallic silver standard with silver bullion as a form of currency. Silver as currency spread throughout Europe with the discovery of vast amounts of the substance in newly explored lands. The regions of Bolivia, Peru and Mexico provided approximately 85% of the world’s silver used for currency for a period of 300 years from 1500 through 1800.

Gold projections of the future and the prospects of where the yellow metal is going shows that it has gained value at over 500% since 2001 and will continue to climb. The dollar, on the other hand, is down 20%. It is my belief that the dollar will continue to be a loser and will fall at an accelerated pace making gold and silver ascend beyond our imagination. There are some stories that there may be a dumping of gold onto the markets which would naturally lower the price of gold. Don’t be concerned. We are into this for the long run. Rather than sell we should be buying at the lower price. I don’t believe it will go down much because it’s not just a local metal it is traded worldwide. “Gold Projections” is a search term on the internet that shows up almost twice as often as “Silver Projections.” Silver is the single best investment, however, we should have some gold in our holdings.

In addition to the one ounce coin we can buy 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz. and 1/10 oz. varieties. This makes it a feasible investment for all. Continue reading ‘Gold Projections’ »

Gold should be the foundation of any resource portfolio. The reason for this is that other resources such as oil or copper are highly dependent on world economic activity. If there is a major recession or GDP goes down considerably industrial commodities are usually hit with major declines. Gold on the other hand is not dependent on economic growth. Subsequently, the downside for gold is less than industrial commodities.

Silver is one of the most valued metals on earth. Since ages ago, it made its mark as a beautiful shiny material for jewelry, tableware, and coinage. Today it is used in a variety of fields including electronics and medicine. Like gold and other precious gems and metals, silver is most often sought after for its value. People who own it resort to selling silver as a way to dispose of unused items in exchange for fast and easy money.

It is important to remember these pointers, which you probably will since it is a short list of essentials. Here are some do’s and don’ts for selling your silver pieces.

Do Have It Appraised

Just like selling gold or diamonds, make sure to have your silver appraised for you to find out their base price or estimated value. From there, you can determine how much you can possibly get in exchange for what you have. When selling silver, you can have the value of the pieces estimated in a pawnshop or a local jeweler. In addition, watch out for any market price for up to date values. In the past month, it appears the price of silver is around $40 for an ounce.

Scroll down the comments of any financial article published on Yahoo Finance and you will read predictions of impending economic disaster. These comments can be downright scary for anyone reading them no matter what their depth of economic knowledge is. I have to admit, after a comment reading session on Yahoo Finance I’m ready to sell every stock I own to invest my money in canned goods and ammunition. Not really! but… It does make me think! So instead of just taking a stand based on what I’ve heard or read, I decided to do just that… I decided to think!

One of the most discussed issues relating to the economy is the ever increasing money supply. Economist like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff make the argument that by increasing the money supply we the people are being indirectly taxed by the government. This argument makes a lot of sense. The first lesson taught in any economics class is that as the supply of something increases, the value decreases. This is one of the reasons why the value of the US dollar has decreased so much over the past decade. I remember back in 2002 when I was stationed in Okinawa, I could purchase 120 yen for $1.00. Today $1 will only purchase 74 yen. Now, there are other factors such as inflation that need to be taken into consideration in order to find the real exchange rate, but right now I’m sitting at a bar on the beach in Destin, FL. so I’m not about to break out my calculator and start drawing up charts.

Nowadays routine gold – silver buyers and sellers are in big turmoil especially in countries like India, where most of the traders run business in traditional fashion. The price tracking methods of these traders are very poor hence they are unable to rationalize the price movement of the precious metals and as an upshot they incur huge loss in business. The business and trading of precious metals has become highly arduous and full of intricacies, therefore traders require either high – tech enabled systems or advisors to stay in the business but sadly this is beyond their reach.

Many wealthy people we come across are accumulating substantial gold assets in their portfolios because they know how to own Gold and they know that it is the best way to invest your money. They look at the long-term fundamentals of the U.S. economy and do not like what they see. Consequently they are building up gold as prevaricate and to some extent a capital gains play.
