Gold vs. Inflation
Its no secret that inflation is out of control.
The simple truth is, the only iron-clad way to protect yourself against inflation is GOLD.
As inflation goes up, the costs to have the retirement you always wanted will keep going higher and higher, just to pay for the same quality of life.
Here is an example of how inflation works:
Imagine for a moment that the total money supply in the United States was only $1 Million Dollars. And imagine you owned 10% of it, which is $100,000.00 - that would mean you would be extremely wealthy correct?
Now imagine if tomorrow the money supply increased by 10 trillion... how much would your $100,000 be worth in that instance? You would no longer be wealthy. And unfortunately, this has already happened in over 30 other countries in the past 90 years.
That in a nut shell is the effect of inflation, and how devastating it can be if the money supply expands rapidly. The dollar has expanded publicly by over $2.68 trillion dollars since 2009 alone. If this aggressive trend continues, imagine how worthless your dollars will become.
The reality with this is that anything paper-based, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc... are all going to feel the effects of inflation. Therefore, none of these options are safe.
If your investments are reliant upon stocks or mutual funds, you can be wiped out overnight, just like so many hard-working people were in 2008. If those people would have hedged their retirement on Gold, they would have been fine.
If you're holding bonds or treasury notes, these fixed price assets only give a fixed return each year. As inflation spirals faster than the return on these assets, they become much less valuable.
All of these factors point to your buying power going DOWN. Gold has the polar opposite effect.
Example Gold Investment Growth Since 2004:
The SAFEST Investment In Uncertain Times Is Gold...
- Gold has real-world uses, such as being used in nearly every sophisticated electronic device, including cell phones, computers, and global positioning devices. Additionally, gold is used extensively in aerospace technology, specifically by NASA.
- Gold is a safeguard against irresponsible governments.
- Gold cannot be manufactured.
- Gold has intrinsic value.
- Gold works.
China and India are buying gold like crazy. They consumed 52% of the world's gold in 2010. And in 2011, increases in demand from China and India have driven a 7.5 percent increase in demand for gold jewelry during the first half of the year, despite a 25 percent increase in the price.
Additionally, a recent cable was leaked by the infamous WikiLeaks website, which revealed the REAL reason behind China's increasing demand... it showed that China's intent is to make major gold purchases for the sole purpose of weakening the U.S. dollar.
"The U.S. and Europe have always suppressed the rising price of gold. They intend to weaken gold's function as an international reserve currency.They don't want to see other countries turning to gold reserves instead of the U.S. dollar or Euro. Therefore, suppressing the price of gold is very beneficial for the U.S. in maintaining the U.S. dollar's role as the international reserve currency. China's increased gold reserves will thus act as a model and lead other countries towards reserving more gold."

Billionaires are Investing in Gold:
-
Thomas Kaplan (over $2 billion invested in gold)
"People view gold as emotional, but when they demythologize it, when they look at it for what it is and the opportunity it represents, they're going to say, "We really should own some of that.' The question will then change to "Where do we get the gold?"
-
John Paulson (over $4.6 billion invested in gold)
"I view gold as a currency, not a commodity. It's importance as a currency will continue to increase as the major central banks around the world continue to print money."
-
David Einhorn ($560 million net worth)
"Gold is the money of choice and we would like to have a meaningful amount of our assets denominated in gold. It's the biggest position in the fund"... "It's the one kind of money Bernanke can't print more of."
-
Seth Klarman (over $1 billion invested in gold)
"There are no easy ways to navigate these turbulent waters. But because the greatest risks are of currency debasement and runaway inflation, protection against a currency collapse - such as exposure to gold - and against much higher interest rates seem like necessary hedges to maintain."
-
Jim Rogers (net worth of $300 million)
"Gold will be the great investment over the next decade."
-
M.G. George Muthoot (net worth $1.1 billion)
"If this business was as easy as it sounds, all my branch managers would be setting up their own gold loan companies."
-
George Soros (net worth of $22 billion)
"The U.S. dollar is very weak. Investors are moving to real assets."
-
Eike Batista (net worth of $30 billion)
"There is a massive shifting of wealth to new economic powers."
-
Carl Icahn (net worth of $12.5 billion)
"The system is not working properly."
-
Paul Tudor Jones (net worth of $3.3 billion)
"I have never been a gold bug, it is just an asset that, like everything else in life, has its time and place. And that time is now."
-
Michael Avery (holds $3.3 billion of Waddell & Reed fund in gold)
"In 5,000 years of human history, gold has been the currency of choice, the store of value, when humans have called into question their governments' efforts to solve problems by running printing presses and injecting money into the economy."
-
Marc Stern (holds $550 million of Bessemer Trust in gold)
"At the core of the sharp downturn is an absence of confidence. Rising debt levels in Europe and the U.S., uncertainty about policymakers' willingness to restore fiscal order, and increasingly cautious corporate sentiment that is consistent with slowing global growth are the chief culprits."
-
Eric Mindich (over $800 million invested in gold)
"Gold is poised to complete its 11th consecutive annual gain, the longest winning streak in at least nine decades, on the brink of a bear market."
-
Mikhail Prokhorov (over $6 billion invested in gold)
"We're looking now at what the world financial system is going to do with all this money that was printed during the financial crisis, if there's continued inflation, we'll see a global trend for raw materials and gold is not an exception. I'm optimistic that the gold price will stay at the same price or higher."
-
Carlos Slim (world's richest man net worth $55 billion)
"With the same things that were done in 2000 and 2001, when it was temporarily solved with big expenditures and very aggressive monetary and fiscal policy, aside from lowering taxes, we should be directing more money to the real economy, not to the financial economy. The volatility of the markets is so great that more is won or lost in a single day than in five years of accumulated interest. And that's not a good thing."
