Why Invest in Gold and Gold Stocks – and Why Now ?

Historically, gold has been a proven method of preserving value when a national currency was losing value. If your investments are valued in a depreciating currency, allocating a portion to gold assets is similar to a financial insurance policy. In the past year, the climb in the price of gold above $1600 per ounce is due to many factors, one being that the dollar is steadily losing value.

  • The dollar is weak and getting weaker due to national economic policies  like quantitative easing , which don’t appear to have an end.
  • Gold price appreciation makes up for lost interest, especially in a bull market.
  • The last ten years are a major bull move similar to the 70′s when gold moved from $38 to over $800.
  • Central banks in several countries have been increasing their gold holdings as part of their foreign reserves, instead of selling.
  • All gold funds are in a long term uptrend with bullion get  ready for an new gold bull market surge in 2013.
  • The trend of commodity prices  ( such as food stuffs ) to increase is relative to gold price increases.
  • Worldwide gold production is not matching consumption. The price will go up further with demand.
  • Most gold consumption is done in India and China and their demand is increasing with their increase in national wealth.
  • U.S. government economic policies over the past decade have systematically projected the U.S. economy down a road with uncontrollable federal spending and an uncontrollably increasing trade deficits. Both will cause the dollar to lose in international value and will increase the price of alternative investments, such as gold.

John Bogle, MacBeth and the Market

Welcome to the Stock Market Casino

 
“Tranquil,” BloombergBlack’s Adam Freedman called U.S. stocks last week. Instead of the topsy-turvy markets of recent years, investors are seeing prices gently rise, often for days at a stretch. A measure of such volatility, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, last month hit its lowest level in six years.
 
Though traders who thrive on volatility may complain, many other investors are quite happy. The S&P 500 gained 10 percent in the first quarter, while the value of global stocks rose $2.6 trillion.
 
Adding to the upbeat mood is greater enthusiasm for initial public offerings, or IPOs, which raised almost $20 billion worldwide in the last three months. “IPOs are inherently risky,” says Scott Sweet, co-founder of research firm IPO Boutique. Investors are more likely to take a chance when “literally day after day we’re setting new records.” 
 

Case in point: Pinnacle Foods rose 21 percent in the week since its IPO. Housing contractor Taylor Morrison is the “hottest deal coming out right now,” Sweet says. Also expected are IPOs from the world’s largest satellite-services company, Intelsat, and from SeaWorld.

What the market’s mellow mood hasn’t done is soothe nervous investors, who fear this is the calm before another storm. This is the “most hated rally in Wall Street history,” says FusionIQ’sBarry Ritholtz, a phrase he first used in Oct. 2009 before U.S. stocks rallied a further 50 percent. “People not only fought it the whole way up, they continue to fight it,” he told BloombergTV on April 2.

So, many investors are seeking protection against an expected spike in volatility. Their armor comes from so-called “minimum volatility equity funds” — a relatively untested batch of funds designed to limit exposure to big market swings. According to BlackRock, that category of exchange-traded fundsattracted $4.1 billion last quarter, a 76 percent increase in assets.


People like Vanguard founder John Bogle have no patience for such worries. When it comes to the market’s daily ups and down, he told me: “Ignore it.” Anyone who owns stocks should be investing for the long run, in which case day-to-day, or even year-to-year, fluctuations don’t matter. When it comes to volatility, Bogle quotes William Shakespeare’s “MacBeth”: “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

  • All gold funds are in a long term uptrend with bullion get  ready for an new gold bull market surge in 2013.
  • The trend of commodity prices  ( such as food stuffs ) to increase is relative to gold price increases.
  • Worldwide gold production is not matching consumption. The price will go up further with demand.
  • Most gold consumption is done in India and China and their demand is increasing with their increase in national wealth.
  • U.S. government economic policies over the past decade have systematically projected the U.S. economy down a road with uncontrollable federal spending and an uncontrollably increasing trade deficits. Both will cause the dollar to lose in international value and will increase the price of alternative investments, such as gold.

Investment Alternatives :

  • Gold bullion. - Refiners produce gold bars from one gram to 400 ozs.
  • Gold coins. - The most popular are one oz coins such as the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, the South African Krugerrand, and the Austrian Vienna Philharmonic. They are easy to keep and transport and closely match the price of gold with a small premium.
  • Numismatic coins. - Older coins which fit the description of collectibles have a premium to the value of gold included in the coin. The holder is dependent upon an accurate and fair appraisal.
  • Gold Mining stocks. - Stock ownership of a company traded on one of the exchanges. The price movement is dependent not only upon the price of gold, but also upon the future of the corporation and management. It’s price movement is almost always more than the movement of gold itself. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is one way to invest in stocks.
  • Jewelry. - Representing the largest consumption of gold each year, jewelry is a major method of savings in developing economies.
  • Exchange Traded Funds (ETF)- Perhaps the safest method of buying and owning gold by buying shares in a fund based solely on the existing market price of gold. No leverage or storage problems. GLD, GDX, and SLV.
  • Gold Mutual funds. - A relatively safe method of buying and owning gold stocks allows the owner to diversify among many stocks and allows the investing decisions to be made by a professional. Investment methods vary among funds and provide many different styles of portfolio management for an investor to choose from. Prices move faster and further in both directions than the price of gold.
