Will China over take India as the world consumer of gold

August 13, 2013

China's activity with its consumption of gold in the first six months of this year increased and they should overtake India as world leaders in the use of gold, within a very short period.

They have consumed approximately 706 tons of gold in the first half of this year (2013) an increase of nearly 54 percent from a year ago.

If we review the consumption of gold for all of 2012, China will import approximately just over 832 tons for that whole year and just over 420 tons approximately at the same time last year, end of July 2012.

China took advantage of gold's biggest two-day fall in over 30 years when gold dropped under $1,200 in June. China purchased more gold than any other country and were consistent buyers.

China could actually consume more than 1,000 tons by year end and overtake India as the world leaders of consumption of gold, according to World Gold Council.

Some experts feel that China will eventually hit the 2,000 tons per year by the year 2016, which would work out to approximately 80% of the world global gold supply.

What effect would this have on the price of gold, too early to say but my dollar would be that gold currently is at a bargain rate for investors?

India has recently risen their import duty to 8 per cent from 6 per cent on June 5, along with central banks placing curbs on shipments on a consignment basis and limited shipments for local consumption against cash. This certainly has had an effect on their imports of gold from last year.

India is currently the largest and most important country in the world when it comes to gold. They are they largest holders of gold in the world, gold is estimated to make up approximately 7 percent of all Indians household savings, at the moment India is the largest consumer of gold in the world.

A tradition in India that has been around for hundreds of years, Indians have always relied on gold for savings, along with a payment from the bride's family to the groom's family upon marriage and it is traditionally made in gold.

India's love for gold is almost like a religion that goes back thousands of years, a tradition that is more than likely to never disappear from their culture.

Is China succeeding with their marketing gold plan

What can this company do for your financial future

July 31, 2013

Another month has passed by and this means the time that we will never get back. So how you use your time is vital when preparing and planning your future financial goals. Opportunities come and go without any warning.

How many opportunities have your joined since you started marketing on the Internet, and how many have you failed at? Not trying to be negative, just reminding you of your progress, some have done exceptionally well to a certain degree.

Dedication and a burning desire for success should be a daily affirmation that you need to develop and make it a regular habit. Success takes time and sometimes luck. Luck is defined this way if you were to take the first letter of the word "success" it would mean this Labour Under Correct Knowledge. How you become lucky in life.

So now your thinking of perhaps getting involved with the current magical dust formula that is the hottest company on the internet. The hype is high, and so are the rewards for only another $25.00 or whatever the cost is you will be making x amounts of dollars in minutes of signing up.

Ever read one of them sales pitches lately, if you did your not alone!

Hey, l am no different, l have joined countless and useless companies that promised the world and my life would never be the same. The only thing they got right was my life did change, lost more money again.

The first company I joined was Amy-way, made some money with them, but Amy-way showed me that big money can be made in MLM. You have the correct knowledge and dedication. I had enough cleaning products that would last me the rest of my life, so l left.

Went on to the next one, then another one and another one, until l said one-day l am done with MLM. Walked away from this type of business for several years. Then about three years ago, l got involved with another MLM company, but the only difference is l am still with this company, yes generating a residual income and growing.

The company is having worldwide growth and providing solutions to people's financial freedom by offering different types of investments long term, short term with an asset that can never be reproduced. Once you own it, it is yours until you decide to cash it in. Not like all the cleaning products l bought, there was no hope of me getting a return on them products.

If this story sounds like one that you have lived, not asking you to join anything but only take a look at what this company will do for you and your future financial obligations.

If you decide that you want to learn more about this opportunity, then just fill in the required information at the end of the presentation a short outline of what this company is all about and perhaps improve your situation!!

Could this be a new Up-trend Starting, as gold deliveries new gains.

July 23, 2013

Well, gold is currently riding a new wave with steady daily gains over the last 4 weeks. How long will this new inclination last and could it break the $1,400.00 per ounce, with this current streak of steady gains.

Back in April 2013, gold had a huge decline, corrected itself, and then started another larger decline until recently when it started to post daily gains.

What is driving the price of gold again, not really sure that there are many logical answers on why gold is behaving this way. Whenever markets perform, people are always looking for some logical reasons for why it is happening.

The economy has certainly played into why gold is rising, with the U.S government and its multi-trillion-dollar deficits and unfunded liabilities, will never recover without increase taxes and painful austerity measures.

Fear is always an obstacle that started with Iceland and Greece that became an economic burden that spread across the globe, like a fire out of control. With the winds of a possible war that continue to howl across the middle East, Asia, and other countries, that will have a huge cost for American blood and treasure.

With the lowest U.S. interest rates in history, is definitely a weakness for the U.S. dollar and the long-term inflationary pressures from the Federal Reserve dropping trillions of dollars into the economy making it a very favorable time to invest in gold and many other tangible assets.

As major central banks become buyers and not sellers in China, Russia and India there certainly will be a demand for gold once again. Keep in mind that Beijing has been stocking up on gold and divest itself from the paper currency and encouraging it's citizen to invest in gold.

Due to some of the above factors collectively know as financial repression - gold has emerged as one of the best options to store value and even generate returns on investments for emerging market consumers.

Demand from central banks and many developed countries might be very far from becoming totally saturated, which provides potential another leg up for gold investors to think about

Investments, Why Are They So Complicated, to Figure Out?

July 19, 2013

Why investing will always be the biggest single gamble you will ever make. Several reasons play into this theory of investing that hooked me.

Every since we were kids, we learned something new each day and applied it to our daily life’s. Then we got wiser and stopped learning something new. Education is a lifetime sentence, either you adapt to changes or you do not.

Investing is so complicated for the following reason so much uncertainty in the global economy, which has had trends that were unpredictable for all the inside manipulation being a standard bandage instead of a permanent solution to world financial crises.  Used by the power of International Governments, in so many countries.

So who do you honestly trust for the formation and solutions of the present hyperinflation we are experiencing.  Hyperinflation can have, devastating financial results for all of us, without a large amount of warning.

Whether you’re investing in a new house, cottage, boat, vehicle or just a plain old investment! How can you honestly feel comfortable with all the trends that have power over the value of what you’re about to invest in.

Understanding the complexity involved with your evaluation on your investment, is a wise way of reviewing and understanding all of the predictable risks involved with this assessment.

The odds always look better on paper; why is that? What did we miss? Why did l do this? The voices play over and over in our inner mind.  We hear it and are immobilized, powerless and incapable of turning off the voices. Investing without a doubt will always be complicated, too much manipulation within the markets. That actual gearshift’s the up’s and downs of your (ROI).

Understanding and applying some of these concepts into your investing abilities will eliminate many heavy losses that none of us appreciate. You can be very rich and still losses more than you desired, works for the poor and the rich.

History has had its way with investing in any market, peaks and valleys have always been obstacles that we need to avoid or find. Peaks are good but valleys create fatalities for our retirement, we will all retire one day.

So what can we do, is really a fair question that we need to revise daily, with merit and reasoning. Think back to when you were a kid, you had no boundaries. What these statements mean, are the most important investment you will ever make to adjust your abilities.

Creating the most powerful mindset you can create is the step that will make you either successful or just another lost angel in life. Jim Morrison actually wrote those words, they make intellectual sense. We all have this ability, but why most of us fail, too simple.  

Take some time and review this blog, hey if you decide not to, that is OK, if you leave some feedback you created a back link. Whatever you decide! I got turned on to this type of investing from Nick Barisheff  CEO of President of Bullion Management Group Inc.

The rest is up to you! Investments, why are they so complicated, to figure out?

All the Best,
