Could Gold be on a Perfect and Predictable Storm?

December 18, 2013

The key to the performance of gold is in the last ten years; there has not been a gold mine that is producing gold the way it was created back in 1971, as in South Africa's 47.5 million ounces of gold was discovered. Now fast forward the same country to 2011, it only produced 8 million ounces of gold.

There will be a global shortest of gold discoveries, making the yellow metal a hot asset. Due to Western Central Bank Manipulation, they have created what some experts call, the perfect storm for gold's comeback. Just like gold did back in the 70's, went from $35 an ounce to $850 an ounce.

The supply and demand will always control the actual value of any asset, in this case, gold can not be reproduced, allocated with the highest degree of engineering in this field. Taking into consideration that Asia has been very active in purchasing as much gold as they can obtain at a ridicules low price. Means that the supply has depleted at an alarming rate.

Now taking a view back to October 11th, gold trading was shut down for 10 seconds according to the CME, because someone sold 2 million ounces of gold at one time. Who does this? Who sells nearly two and a half percent of annual gold production in a single minute? The gold valued at over $2.5 billion could not have been sold by a small trader, and certainly not the smart money, institutional investors know you don't exit a large trade like this.

Investing can become overly complicated on a strategy that will provide you as the investor, the best possible ROI on you investment. That should be your only concern; gold has this ability for the investors who see the real potential of the yellow metal.  Gold could be the perfect storm for the wise investor. The information you will review will illustrate it's rewarding results. Just really a matter of time!

Tyler Durden on Zero Hedge shares with you information that has merit, logical financial rewards for us to just be advised on our investment directions. He shares reasons on why this "will" happen, enjoy his article, along with the video he shares. The full article, read more. Is the Perfect Storm coming for Gold?

Is China Getting a Free Ride from Central Banks?

December 13, 2013

Gold is and has been for thousands of years the best insurance against inflation, or deflation. I would much rather own gold than invest in government bonds, high-yield bonds or equities. With the uncertainty of whether deflation was to pass, it would only stimulate governments to print more money globally.

China is taking full advantage and has been buying as much gold as it can get its hands on. At last count gold imports from Hong Kong year to date was just over 1,113 tons, doubling from the previous year at this exact time last year.

Many experts are starting to blame those Western central banks, especially the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB). Many analysts are pointing fingers that central bankers are desperate to salvage their fiat currencies and eliminate competition as "monetary authorities."

The domino effect is gold prices have deflated and putting China on a winning streak for buying gold at basement bargain prices. Many analysts also believe that central banks are manipulating the price of gold as a trade off with China, for not unloading U.S. Treasury Securities and other government debt.

It will only be a matter of time before the Chinese government's expanding the role of the Renminbi within international markets. This will certainly bring an end to the U.S. dollar being the choice as the currency to be used by international markets for goods.

In an article written by Vronsky via Gold Eagle, he illustrates this example. If gold price ran parallel with China's total foreign reserves, then the yellow metal today should be approximate $5,162 per ounce. Today's severely discounted gold price is a blessing for those who know financial history and who are patient, as in character with China's historical culture. Read the Full Article

33 Years Ago, December 8th, John Lennon!

December 8, 2013

Well today, exactly 33 years ago we lost an icon, in John Lennon as I carefully listen to imagine as I write this article. I recall the exact place, time, and what l was even wearing that day. When I heard it on the television news cast, tears came to my eye's.

I was never really a "Beatles Fan," but l enjoyed their music, but John was the man in that band I admired, for his writing abilities, how he planted words, and painted a story, which had meaning, and most of all; reasons for him sharing his lyrics, with us the audience.

Sometimes life comes to a sudden end, without any real logical sense, behind the reasons for why it happened. We just never know our time, words will not bring John back and it just provides all of us, who knew, or followed John, with sweet memories that will never die, along with a smile.

All I recall was the world was in shock, over the tragic, unforeseen circumstances.  Took a matter of seconds to send the whole world into shock till this day, 33 years later, we still show our grief to a legend, that made us all, dream about what a peaceful world would be like, with No wars, imagine!

John and Yoko Ono held  a strong belief in their political views on the "Vietnam War," that was going on at the time. John and Yoko; where at their closes sharing their feelings that meant so much to each other. The true meaning of giving back at a level, very few ever think about doing. John and Yoko dedicated their beliefs, to a meaningful way of saving lives.

I have two close friends that were born on this day December 8th, so l get to understand life and death. I did call one of them and wished them a happy birthday. So if John was alive he would end this article with words along these's lines. Enjoy each, and every breath you take, and the moments you have to enjoy them.

33 Years Ago, December 8th, John Lennon!

Not many would reply, to their teachers
with this answer!!

Yoko and John outside the Dakota,
their home

The complete family
John, Yoko and Julian!

Please leave your thoughts, on what John Lennon might have meant to you growing up, and has his lost reminded you of many of his quotes, he shared with us all? Dedicate this article to the late John Lennon, Yoko and their son Julian imagine.

Why is a Mind Set, So Important for Success!

November 29, 2013

Why is a mindset so important for your success? Most people can not do it, so they never focus on what they want, but focus on what they do not want. Think of what I just shared with you, it is so much easier on dwelling on the problem than the solution.  

We beat our self-esteem before we provide our abilities with the positive mindset, that will lead us to that, milk, and honey we all have heard of. We can have anything we want in life! The best-kept secret from the most successful people who have achieved success is a simple process, that is the most difficult one to actually accomplish. Makes no sense, it's simple but complicated.

Complicate, for this reason, we spend more energy, on why it will not work, then on why it will work. The mind, and how you think, will produce the exact results you dwell on. We dwell on the bills we need to pay each month, and all our other obligations we need to meet. So this certainly attracts more negative activity that we need to spend energy on. Really a waste of time, without positive results.

Henry Ford once shared a quote. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way, you are right." what this means is, whatever you think in your mind, the results will occur. The mind is what prevents us all from achieving success. This is a proven fact, that has been studying over, and over again. We have planted the seed for our destination, either way, we are right. With what will happen!

Why I stated earlier, that this is such a simple, but complicated process. We all want success, we mean well, but the only thing holding us back from achieving these's results is the way we think. This should make sense to you. Close your eye's for a few minutes and thinks about what I just shared with you. Review in your inner mind, how you have reacted to your thinking, did it not control your end results?

So how do you get the correct mindset? Different for all of us, some listen to tapes, read books on this subject, but most just accept failure, because they lack the ability to think that success can "NOT" be achieved. They attract and focus on all the reasons they will not become successful. Sad but again, our mindset will lead us in this direction.

Here are three video's that can correct your mindset!

I do listen to them each day, how I listen, not important, I just make time for me to listen to then, and remind me of what I need to do. The one's that provide my mind with results are as followed. How and what you decide in the end is what matters, what works for me, may or may not work for you. But l think you will appreciate them.

Gary Vaynerchuk, from vine TV, provided me with some key phrases, that made me think. He illustrates what it takes to change your life, and the direction you want to achieve. Watch it Now!!

How Bad do You Want Success, is about the ability of how bad you really want to have success in your life, and what your willing to give up to obtain this type of success. Part One of How Bad You Want Success

How Bad do You Want Success, Part Two, this is real to the point, some of you who watch this, may understand what this message is all about? See what your mind thinks, it will achieve it. Simple but so complicated, you can do this. I have and so have so many others, enjoy your journey. Part Two of How Bad You Want Success

Wow, What Happened to Gold, Who do you listen too?

November 26, 2013

Wow, what happened to gold, it is on a roller coaster ride again? Is this a good sign or is at a bad sign with the direction gold is going? If you ask China, they are happy with how it is performing so far. Why would they not be happy, since all it means, is they get to accumulate more gold at a bargain price?

With Iran's agreement, limiting its nuclear program for sanctions relief. Could play a factor on the direction gold is taking, exactly what central banks and governments want. No war or talks of wars means no need for gold to rise. It's a very uncertain market, one that will have huge results for investors. There is no real time limited on how gold will perform. One important factor to concern as an investor, there will be a shortest of this asset.

Investing in any investment takes time, patience and also dedication. World trends and media play such a manipulative game, that it is so hard to understand what the left hand is doing. This is where education, history kicks in. Gold has been around, since the three wise man, actually presented Jesus with gold as a gift.

Patience is what will make, or break your investment with this asset, gold. Do you sell and recover your losses, and move on, or take a small profit, depending on when you bought it? We all have questions without any real solutions. Who do you listen too? Is more than likely the most important question you need to have answered.

You could review all the articles on this topic; some might make a little sense not a lot. Gold will always outlive the fiat currency, that is why it is being manipulated. How can governments print gold, like they do with the paper money? Governments are under these's harsh, uncertain times, and need that flexibility to meet their obligations. This has been going on all of our lives.

Let us review some of the top articles on this subject and see what is really going on, with gold. You think you were confused with what is happening in global financial crises. Think of how crude oil play's in the commodities game, media controlled as well as government-controlled. Governments benefits, additional revenue from taxes that we all pay, when we all fill our vehicles with gas.

Some interesting articles on this topic, hope you review all of this, and it also benefits and encourages your thinking on this type of investment, on how it actually works!

A few reviews to educate, or perhaps provide more questions for you to think about, rather than solutions. Who do you listen too? You need to listen to the person that is putting up the investment, you. After all; your the one who may lose or win, play your odds correctly. So listen to your gut, and educate yourself.

Now let's take it to another level of investing with a gut feeling, that is well financially educated. This could also happen, and provide you with a very lucrative return on your (ROI). Investing is always going to be a very complicated risk, for all of us.

How Big Are China’s Real Gold Reserves?

November 20, 2013

Came across this article written by Lawrence Williams on a subject that l have had an interest and wrote a few articles on. China's accumulation of gold, and how they have been able to keep the world from understanding how much metric tons of gold they actually own.

China has been playing this game since 2009, with a straight face, and declaring the same amount of gold since 2009. How do they get away with all of this? Lawrence Williams reveals some of the strategists, China has been using rather effectively.

The key here for China is keeping gold prices down, for the simple reason they can accumulate more metric tons at a bargain. This makes perfect sense, buy low sell high, what we all aim at when investing. So keeping the true amount of how many metric tons they actually have, works wonders for this concept.

Lawrence Williams shares this article on Seeking Alpha

There is much speculation over the quantification of China's gold reserves. Are they only 1,054 metric tons as the official figures would have us believe? Or are they considerably higher as many gold analysts suggest? And what game is China playing if they are?

The Chinese impact on global demand is key to likely gold price performance in the months and years ahead and thus of major significance for the investor in gold bullion, ETFs and gold stocks. China is already almost certainly the world's largest consumer of gold this year and is likely to absorb at least 1,500 metric tons of the yellow metal purely through imports through Hong Kong plus its own gold output - it is currently the world's No. 1 producer with 2013 output estimated as likely to be in order of 430 metric tons by the China Gold Group.

The Hundred Years War Between Fiat and Gold.

November 16, 2013,

Nick Barisheff the founder and, CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc., a company dedicated to providing investors with a secure, cost-effective, transparent way to purchase and hold physical bullion. BMG is an Associate Member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

He will provide the insight and his reasoning back when he indicates that gold would be worth $10,000 an ounce. Truly nothing has really changed, if anything, it could have a higher Return on your Investment (ROI). He shared this information with Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com with his predictions of what the true value of this asset and, its true potential of achieving this level of return.

Some of you might have been at his live speech at The Toronto Austrian Scholars Conference back on November 2, 2013. Where he shares’s, the story, of “the hundred year war between fiat and gold." To his audience, some of the topics, that were discussed.

Federal Reserve History and Its War on Gold.

This December 23, the U.S. Federal Reserve aka (the Fed) will celebrate its 100^th birthday. This speech takes a look at the Fed’s real accomplishment, and the policies it has employed during this time to rob the public of its wealth.

Why the Fed Hates Gold

The Fed has many reasons for being at war with gold. Gold restricts a country’s ability unlimited amount of fiat currency. The gold held by the Fed and the United States has not been officially audited since 1953; there are several credible indications that gold has been leased or swapped and probably several claims of ownership.

There are several other topics he illustrates with his speech, facts, and possibilities of why gold makes sense and has been at war for over a hundred years with the fiat currency. The most logical reason l would say, is governments cannot reproduce it, as it can with the fiat currency.

Take the time to review this article and its links, education is priceless. This is not only reality, there is no other logical reason that this asset will take over the fiat currency. Power comes to an end; enjoy the hundred year celebration of the fiat currency in power.

Some of us will understand, the logical reasons that Nick Barisheff shares on his articles and speeches, that he has shared, with his audiences across the globe. Investments are sometimes manipulated, by certain parties, no need for figure pointing. Gold Manipulation creates greed, for the very greedy players, who could care less of who they have bankrupted, or investors retirement, and pension plans.

Nick Barisheff Founder and CEO,
 Bullion Management Group Inc.

Now for the full story on his widely circulated News Letter, you be able to review all the material l have shared above. The information, makes a predictable return, on your financial investment with this asset. 

The Full Story, by Nick Barisheff
