Gold: A Low-Risk, High-Return Asset

Goldman Sachs just released a report calling gold a low-risk, high-return asset and predicts it will rise to $1940 this year. Morgan Stanley predicts a price of $2,175 a year from now. UBS forecasts $2050 within 12 months. These types of estimates from big banks have proven conservative in years past. - in Europac Precious Metals

The Federal Reserve Is Ignoring Inflation

The Fed is also choosing to ignore the fact that inflation is already running north of 3 percent. Instead, they have conveniently come up with their own measure of inflation, which comes in just a shade below the Fed's arbitrary 2 percent "acceptable" target.

This announcement is a slap in the face to anyone who earns, saves, and invests in dollars. So, it's no surprise to me that investors, financial institutions, and foreign governments are turning to gold and silver in larger and larger numbers. - in Euro Pacific Precious Metals

Gold Is Rallying Again

What kicked off this rally was yesterday's announcement by the Federal Reserve that they will be keeping interest rates near zero until at least 2014. This means that a tidal wave of inflation is on the horizon, and the dollar will continue its long decline.

The Invisible Hand Versus The Heavy Hand Of Government

We Are Not A Collectivist Society

But the President also displayed a significant lack of understanding of capitalism, of American History and one of the many things that he said was that we owe our success as a nation to the fact that we work as a team. No we Don`t!

We owe our success to the fact the we are individuals in America. We are not a team, this is not a collectivist society. We all work for ourselves, we all pursue our self-interests. We have a Constitution that speaks about individual rights, property rights. These are not "team" rights. - in The Schiff Report, January 25th

Q&A: Retirement Assets


Russell from Louisville, KY: I fear my father's retirement will come during the next severe downturn, rendering his life's work into his retirement fund worthless. Same with my mom who has more to lose. Should they cash out of their 401(k), take the hit, and pay off their mortgage? Should they cash out individually and invest in a diversification of precious metals, currencies and foreign stocks?

The U.S. And Italy Have Very Similar National Debt Profiles

Objectively speaking, the U.S. and Italy, for instance, have very similar national debt profiles. Yet interest rates in Washington are currently 600 basis points lower than they are in Rome.

This means that Americans can borrow and spend much more. The result of all this extra debt financed consumption is a boost in employment and GDP. The positive economic impact makes the dollar even more attractive, thereby perpetuating the cycle.

If rates in Italy (or Spain for that matter) were as low now as they were two years ago, those countries would not be experiencing the problems they are today. Their borrowing costs would never have risen and their budgets would still be manageable. Similarly, higher interest rates in the U.S. would completely take the shine out of our economy.

Imagine what would happen here if rates were just 200 basis points higher, let alone 600? U.S. consumers, homeowners, corporations, and governments are particularly dependent on cheap financing. As bad as things are in Europe, they would be even worse here. - in Business Insider

An Opportunity To Buy Contra-Dollar Assets on the Cheap

For smart investors, dollar strength caused by euro fears is simply an opportunity to buy contra-dollar assets on the cheap. Yes, I believe sub-US$30 silver and sub-US$1,600 gold are still cheap for what's ahead.

And with 2012 forecasts of US$2,200 by Morgan Stanley, US$2,050 by UBS, and US$2,000 by Barclays, it appears I'm not alone. - in Business Insider

The US Dollar Is Riding Higher But...

Right now, the dollar is riding high. But it's still down over 30 percent over the last decade as measured by the generous US Dollar Index. Gold, by contrast, is up over 350 percent in that period. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future results, but the fundamentals have not changed.

It's worth remembering that mainstream analysts chose the dollar over gold in almost every report over the last 10 years, based on a blind faith in the power of the US government to centrally plan the American economy. The market proved them wrong. - in Business Insider

This Could Be The Year That Gold Beats Its Inflation-Adjusted All-Time High

There is a lot to look forward to in this new year. After all, this may be the year that weaker member-states are booted from the euro. It might be the year that the People's Bank of China makes explicit its covert policy of gold-buying. And it could be the year that gold beats its inflation-adjusted all-time high of $2,300/oz.

As I explain in my commentary, I think the current euro trouble and dollar rally have created another historic opportunity to diversify out of dollars. When everyone is buying, that's when you want to sell.

Though it may seem like everyone has been buying precious metals the past few years, it's still a very small percentage of the market compared to those buying dollars. Just ask an investment advisor at any of the big banks what percentage you should allocate to gold and silver vs. dollars and Treasuries. They'll still say to put your savings in US government assets, even though that has been a losing bet for a decade! - excerpt form the Schiff Gold Report

The Fundamentals Have Never Been Better For Gold

We’ve been buying – personally I have been buying particularly in the mining stocks which I think have a lot of value. I was very bullish on gold for 2011. This time 2010. And for most of the year we had a very strong market. I didn’t anticipate the extent of the decline towards the end of the year, although that makes me even more bullish for the prospects for gold for 2012. I think the fundamentals have never been better for gold and I think prices are going a lot higher. - in ValueWalk
