Who do you trust, when your investing with your retirement?

The reason l use the words l choose as my title! Who do you trust, when you're investing in your retirement for a rather complicated reason. We all have felt and tasted what it is to be lied too, the only pain l ever suffered from that statement is when it a effects my wallet.

From an investment point of view, you just lost a small or perhaps a large portion of some advice that had no value but only hype. Hey, they sell the sizzle, without the most important factor your (ROI) return on investment, your efforts is not always monetary.

What truly qualifies as a safe investment? Anything to do with a fiat currency will have a future disadvantage on your return. We all have read and followed many frightening global financial crises develop and are not going away very affordable.

Who is the blame for all of this, we can point many figures in a simple and more then likely very accurate way of why we are in this global financial crises, Global Governments creating outrages debt that is being added to already a UN-payable debt in our lifetime for us who are over 50. Governments solution was print more money, creating a fiat currency, that is losing value at an alarming rate.

Then you had all the bailouts that the Governments had to do to keep the economy going, from automotive to financial corporation that where thriving not so long ago and now need Government assistance. The sad part of it all the big name CEO got their bonuses when these companies could not meet their daily obligations without Government assistance.

All you need to do is watch CNBC American Greed   and understand all the scams that happen daily with new ones being tested for the next big scam. How it has been working lately, many investors get played by them right words that were magical when you first heard them. We all have heard it, if it sounds too good, then there is something wrong with it.

I got the passion for gold from Nick Barisheff, President, and CEO of "Bullion Management Group" located in Toronto Canada with Asset Holdings of Over $650 million and author of Why Gold by 2017 will be worth $10,000.00 an ounce. l decided l would learn as much as l could daily of what was happening within this industry.

Did as much research on this topic from all the articles that interested me such as the books "The Case for Gold" by Ron Paul and Addison Wiggins "The Little Book of the Shrinking Dollar" and, of course, Nick Barisheff book. Just needed to understand the history of this asset that started to make more sense, for a real simple reason. Governments had no ability to print this asset as they have with the fiat currency paper money.

Review all the Google alerts on gold investing, reading each article just keeping on top of why it moves up or it moves down. Along with the smartest updates one can ever buy, Agora Financial.... the 5-minute forecast that reviews in short form, all the latest business trends that are occurring globally. If your not taking advantage of this, you should be, its fast and accurate.

So who do you trust when it comes to investing for your retirement? I decided to invest in this company for all the right reasons it is a member of the LBMA and currently has the capacity to deliver a volume of 1 million grams a week through its new contract with "Nadir Metal Refinery" in Istanbul, which is of course listed under the LBMA "Good Delivery Refinery."

I watched this presentation and it made sense to me, each card has the following features that provide confidence for any investor who invests in this asset you're provided with 6 main reasons that make logical financial sense.

1) The serial number on each card, that you invested in.

2) Along with a serial number on the gold bar.

3) Nadir Gold Refinery Certificate.

4) Nadir Gold Refinery LBMA

5) Hologram on the physical Nadir gold bar.

6) Gold Bullion verification code.

Why are we getting this type of attention?

May 28, 2013

Why are we getting this type of attention? When was the last time you read an article on your multi-level marketing company that had rewards of this kind, as a leader in "the industry." For such a young, but an aggressive company within the industry.

Multi-Level Marketing is a product that promotes success at an alarming rate. If you have a demand for others to promote it, believe in it and most important have a desire to make it work. I had only one reason for picking this company as a winner, based on my research, reviews and why l would want to invest my time in this asset. Had to become an asset, or why would l do it?

See we all have our reviews and 2 cents of information that at times actually make sense. Investing is always going to have a risk factor, anyone says otherwise is lying to you. Learn and understand this!

The most often asked question in multi-level marketing is how do l get paid? Would you agree this is an honest question asked over and over? Exactly!!!

This article that l came across today l found it on one the Financial Reports. I did not write this, but l am sure glad he wrote it.

You can lead a horse's to water but you may never be able to make that horse drink it..... this is why we are getting this attention.

Is the Value of Gold still high, dispute the recent down slide?

May 23, 2013

So many different views on whether gold is currently still over priced from around the global economy from some of the top experts in this field. China has not slowed down on acquiring as much gold as it can get it's hands on. 

Singapore government investment chief Lim Chow Kiat says it is difficult to justify the current value of the metal given its limited practical usage.

Some interesting trends by Billionaire George Soros and Louis Bacon have drastically cut some of their stakes in exchange-traded products backed by gold earlier this year. But John Paulson who made billions of dollars betting against subprime mortgages before the housing collapse has held his holds and it is believed he has lost close to 47 percent this year alone. 

Some interesting facts on the performance of gold since peaking in the early 80's and then over the next 20 years had lost approximately 60% of its value. When you take inflation into effect a more accurate loss would be around the 80% for that period. 

Back in April 2013, gold took its biggest one-day loss since the early 80's of 9% of a value of $1,535 to $1,395 per ounce. Some investors were indicating a potential market decline well others were saying it was a signal of coming economic boom. So is it safe to save that the value of gold is still high dispute the recent slide down, or is it undervalued. 

This could be an interesting bet, for all the right reason on why gold still could be the wise's investment for future retirement. It is bulletproof in the sense, that our Governments can not print more of it. Is this not how would get into a financial global mess. Learn more about Nick Barisheff's view on why gold is a safe long term investment. 

Why investing will always be a gamble, media can control it, and so many other 
financial factors will determine the final (ROI) on your decision. 

From early 2001 to the late summer of 2011 gold had its best run, from just under $300 an ounce to almost $1,900 an ounce indicating that it was a very wise investment for investors. Gold has always had peaks and valleys, started the year off (2013) with a value of approximately $1,657 to its current value today of just under $1,360 mark compared to the Standard  500 Index which has had an approximate gain of around 18%.

What causes gold to fluctuate in this manner is a great debate for investors with many options as reasons and trends for gold to perform so unpredictable. Much of the gold becomes jewelry and India has been a leader in this field but as of lately India has not been doing as well as in the pass. This could also drive the price of gold down since a lack of demand. Perhaps some of the central banks and many hedge funds are cutting back on their shares of gold that we are not aware of.

But many of these factors have not scared China from importing more gold. The review the full story on how much gold they have imported in the last 24 months. Here is an interesting article, providing all the stats you will need to understand how aggressive China has been.
