Gold has a factor that has to be reviewed, if this happens!

August 22, 2013

"My passion," for this asset is vital for much financial and logical reason’s, the “Fiat Currency” is really a lost and high-risk concern many of us should have.

I try and review as many articles on this topic that l can and provide information we all can benefit and even perhaps take advantage of, really nothing wrong with this concept at all. Would you not agree?

One of the alerts l got was an article that motivated me to share this priceless information on conditions that can make or break many (ROI’s.) This information l am going to share, is all confirmed by the World GoldCouncil (WGC.)

We have been debating who truly is the world leader in the consumption of gold. Is it China or is it India, what would happen if one stops buying gold? Could this have an effect on your savings for the retirement?

Here is the full story, written by Frank Holmes, 

CEO and Global Investment Officer… U.S. Global Investors.

Reasons why China keeps a low profile on how much gold they own.

August 16, 2013

China is playing this game like Bobby Fisher played his greatest match with chess; low key and every move had a reason with results. Then ..... bang; checkmate!

China’s accumulation of gold is shrewdly hidden and only speculated on the actual amount they have bought. The only real resource of information is the ones that Hong Kong and Singapore provides us with. Even those stats could actually be very ambiguous.

Why would China play any other way? The greater the audience; the more competition, you're creating a center of attention. Exactly what they would like to avoid; staying under the radar gun.

China understands that gold currently is undervalued. This is an absolute fact for the reasons they are accumulating gold at a petrifying rate, with a low profile of attention. Buying gold at under $1,200 - $1,300 an ounce, will be a bargain years down the road.

Why China will surpass India as the world leader of Bullion Gold in the world. They have a scheme, system that is structured to guide and direct them with every move and purchase they accumulate each and every day of the year.

They have the power and capital to achieve this feast, indulge and like carbon monoxide, there are silent killers in this progress of accumulating mass fortunate’s of bullion gold. See China understands numbers, they are an international language.

Think of this example, if China decides to dump just only 10 percent of their U.S. Treasury Holdings which works out to approximately $100 billion worth in exchange for gold.  Let’s say gold for this example, is at $1,000 an ounce, which would work out to approximately 2,840 metric tons of gold. This means they would own more than 1/3 of the U.S. official gold holdings.

Now that is what l call power! China would be able to dictate  the value of gold, once they announce how much of the global asset gold they have possession of. Now that should actually make you think!

To illustrate another example that could happen, who really knows when, within 90, 120 days or even six months down the road? The authenticity is that this will materialize where we will see gold at perhaps or if not greater than $4,000 per ounce along with sides kicks oil at around $350 - $400, silver at $80 - $100 and all other assets such as copper, corn, wheat and everything else also on the rise.

Hyperinflation is already here as we have all witnessed, whenever we buy, purchase or invests on anything, all you need to do is compare that item to what it was worth a year ago.

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,

Have you ever wanted to give up marketing, on the internet?

July 16, 2013

We all have felt that way at one time or another, not an easy gig, is it? The fact it works for some and not so well for others  has a lot to do with these's issues, that can change your outlook on how you market from this day forward.

This is the only reason why we have this concern. Have you ever wanted to give up marketing, on the internet?

We all have an obligation to our daily lives, kids, financial obligation, stress from it all, not really a pleasant situation to have to deal with, day in and day out.

So the benefits that will change how you market on the internet will have to be monitored more closely, you need to understand your prospects.  What’s in it for me, in this case for them? Provide them with an imperative, fundamental solution to their needs.

You can read all the books, get all the training and one actual obsession will happen, you will give up and not read or implement what had to be done. You stopped reading and following the training.

I have been playing with marketing all my life since l was a kid. Working at Maple leaf Gardens, selling ice cream, peanuts, pop, and all the good stuff you enjoy at a game or event.

The dedication has always been part of the success aspect within my abilities. I provide a road map that makes logical sense that provides you with a carbon copy. The element we need as a foundation, takes an effort, with a price that is the hardest to achieve.

When you familiarize yourself and apply your abilities, the results will provide you with remuneration, compensation that is truly a sweet reimbursement on your investment.

Looking for someone who has this ability to implement immediately and start generating an (ROI) return on your investment, in this case, your abilities.

See, l build leaders to do what has to be done.  My leaders do the same thing that works and understanding the most successful phrase you will learn on building your team.

If you’re going to invest in the most award-winning perception that has this attitude; to provide you with an over and above “lead” that you have just captured. Now, what?

Think this way, you’re on a Lake Fishing, you thought you had a snag with your line, but guess what you have a bite on your line. Now, what?

Reel him in slowly, provide him or her with sound advice, listen and just think when they answer your question. God give us to ears and one mouth. Which one should you use the most?

If you really have what l am looking for, then take the time to invest in your financial future by watching this management of life changing opportunities. How could this possibly happen?

So how many times did you want to give up marketing on the internet and many other uncertainties, suspicions that created doubts? The key element your staying here and being acquainted with this opportunity that can actually finally provide you with proceeds. 

This is my "Passion with my Patience," l enjoy doing this, simple, rewarding "YOU" with a lucrative as an incentive, life is actually good .. at the moment l have to also work on that, but that is my point!

Become focused as your journey takes place with your adventure, after all, you created it, no one else did. Hard to argue with that. As you follow these vital steps success will become achievable.

You're going to enjoy this, for this real special reason...

Learning this concept will have rewards and benefits.

June 28, 2013

Marketing just isn't forever one, is it? We all need to understand a direction that needs to be taken in order for self-growth that provides us with a direction towards success.

The useless opportunities that are there, are endless with more than likely zero results on the presentation that had all the hype. Why even talk about it, happens every second on the world wide web.

So ask yourself this question are you a hopper? What is a Hopper? A hopper has no confidence in their abilities, looking for some magical dust that will solve all their financial problems as a start.

If l have your attention, l need you to do this........turn off all the other sites you're on... including mobile phone.. See if you do this, one thing will occur; benefits have a price. The hardest price to pay is dedication, we all have plastic, correct and some cards are not in good financial shape.

If you dedicate and applied these's two powerful words that will provide you with your "why's' of accomplishing additional or first-time success in your life. The words you will learn will determine your focus, desire and why you're doing this.

Why kid yourself, that is just wasted time and human energy. So let's watch this presentation and learn what them two words are. Yes, l could have typed them, but that is not you being dedicated to your personal success. Review this, over and over, l do it daily... l listen to him... why he made me motivated.

If you need to get motivated then watch this.... step one.

Made you really think, if you watched it and understood why only one percent actually make it in this field, odds are really not that good. But it achieves able when you apply them two words and you look in the mirror and say.... the magical word............ only works for a very few...

Save yourself some time.......... if you can not get pass step one.......... why are you reading this, but, on the other hand, your either fishing or your dedicated...........Only you will know based on your results.

Now this a forum, with feedback and comments that may have the solutions you learned from them two words...  Now the results can be and will be simple or complicated............

Learn what Your Personal Brand is, we only play this game once!!!

We all have the same desires, goals and want some sort of success that provides us with a comfort zone, success has a different meaning to all of us. This is when you apply what you have learned from this article and if it had benefits, share this article with your network.

Marketing with a direction, gets attention and results?

June 19, 2013

If you have not understood the title then you should read more, marketing with a direction will always get you attention and a large audience, for many reasons. The reason l have researched this topic, is there are more people who have a hard time generating an income on the internet. We all have ego's, pride and strong why's on why we have dedicated time to this project.

If this is you in some sort of form or thinking, then you are very frustrated, you have followed all the steps, did it all accordingly to the specs, you were asked to execute. Same results, waste of time, money and really a downer and a loss of self-esteem.

What investing is all about, you just never know what could happen if you start to doubt your abilities and it is never your fault, you repeat to yourself.  Honestly kicks in, for a very short period and you play your mind once again. But numbers never lie, liabilities outperform asset's.

Credit card, the line of credit and all your other asset have been donating without any return on your investment. This not providing any results that you have counted on...Investing is always a gamble.

Going showcase you a solution, not going to tell you how it all works, until you ask me and then start understanding why you getting all these's benefits and results... hate the word "Free'...... no such thing...... just need your dedication........... that's fair.

Here is how it all works, not an easy formula why very few ever earn a dime on here..so there really is no competition if you see my point.   Do You?

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.

Gold – You Better Hold It

May 9, 2013

This is a very well written and researched article you're about to read written by Taki Tsaklanos from Gold Silver world he shares many logical facts and reasons why you should hold on to Gold.

When it comes to precious metals, April 2013 was characterized by extreme price swings, remarkable news stories, and historic facts and figures.

Fact: retail investors are searching for monetary protection and stories of surging demand for physical gold and silver abound. Demand in Asia is higher than in the rest of the world, and the transfer of gold from West to East continues. The demand among retail investors is on fire, but there is no real stress or elevated premiums in the wholesale market, only delays.

Fact: Traders are bearish. Speculators in the West continue to look at gold as a trading asset, just another commodity. A Bloomberg survey reveals that 20 analysts are short-term bearish, nine bullish, four neutral. It is the biggest proportion of bears since February 2010.

Conclusion: It seems that physical gold is moving from weak to strong hands, i.e. to those who recognize the monetary value of gold and choose to physically own it. They prefer to hold their metal, which they consider more important than price swings. They undoubtedly have good reasons to do so. Meantime, most of the gold are following the money; it is flowing from the West to the East.

If your going to invest, then you need to learn the five "P's"

May 7, 2013,

The days, weeks and months are flying by, so much happening daily, how would one understand all the trends that occur daily from an investor's standpoint of options. Very confusing even from the most gifted, seasoned financial adviser's.

So a question is what do you do? Not really a good question to be thinking of, but one that needs attention. We read so much here on the internet, but it has one goal what is the benefit to them the sellers. Who do you trust or invest your time in? Time is really the only logical thing l can think of, you can never buy it back.

See this makes sense something you can never have back is a demand just like gold, it can not be printed or reproduced it's a one shot deal. The key element is how are you going to review your investments, and understand what l am sharing with the five p's.

The results you will ever achieve is the most expensive investment you will ever make, l say this for the simple reasons, the results are only three percent who will use this wisely and most will fall into the 97 percent of failure. Most humans can not afford to invest in time. So it really has no competitive market, would you not agree? so if you going to invest, then you need to understand them five P's.

This is your next step>>

Reason's why Gold, would perform this way!

April 26, 2013

Came across this story today that was written a well back when gold decided to nose dive, and no one knew why it took that direction, some made money with this dive, others sold out, what really happened?

Many of the main suspects are covered on this story, found it very realistic since l know more 15 or so days later, l see how it is playing out. But in today's uncertainty global financial investing world, hard to really predict, facts make no sense.

Makes it very interesting for many logical reasons, who controls all of these's markets and why are they effective so harshly when encountering unforeseen turmoil in the global economy. Should we be paying what we pay at the pumps, l have watched the crude oil barrier drop, except at the pump.

This market alone is responsible for the inflation period we are all suffering from unless your part of the OPEC society, then you have no concept of what is going on. They have more stories then we all have read books from the library, just creative marketing is all they are doing. They are very good at that, wonder what that cost's us all.

The "GREED FACTOR" takes over everyday living for most of us all who have the daily family, personal and business obligation and rely on our wheels to cover the distance at a very heavy price. But this is totally out of control, crude oil at the current rate would reflect a totally different price per gallon or liter for us to enjoy at the pump.

Now that l got that off my chess, if you're still with me let's get to the next obstacle or mystery that has had an impact on our overall financial obligation and retirement investments we had created for our future. We all have different types of investments but some of us believe in this asset "Gold" it did some unimaginable drops for really no apparent reasons.

So when l read this article posted on CNBC website one of my favorite past times is watching that station. l just had to share it with all who have an interest in this topic and understand that steps that took place and how to react and play this asset. It's really a simple one actually...

Windows of Opportunities with #Gold, could this be true? https://t.co/lg39Nsw5jw via @jfbmarketing #SuperTuesday

Windows of Opportunities with Gold, could this be true?

April 15, 2013,

Gold has been on a roller coaster ride, this is a fact without any doubts but guess what it still has the value that is undervalued at the current moment. Here is an opportunity to take advantage of, governments will always be able to print money, gold can not be reprinted or reproduce. Review how it has performed, we have seen them charts, we are dealing with an asset that the actual value is being camouflaged by unpredictable global financial circumstance.

So much world debt, so much greed going on with banking systems, just last week a VIP of RBS of Scotland's got arrested on fraud charges, full story here.  We have seen it over and over again, it is not going to stop, greed will always be a common factor in humans, who we deal with. Not so long ago the Cyprus Crises and bank fraud.  Just a couple of examples.

What effect is it having with paper money? Many things that we have heard over and over again, but one asset they have only temporary control with is gold. No different then what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did 80 years ago to control inflation and the value of gold he manipulated the market by confiscation of gold by forcing owners to cash out at a pre-determined fixed rate. The laws at times only have one law, their law so can this happen or is it happening. Again history shows a chart that only grew and were growing again, with again a slight obstacle.

So how do you protect yourself from all of this, not an easy answer at all? Too many factors play here! The odds are hard to read, but history is hard to be proven wrong also. Demand and supply have always controlled the cost factor of what an asset's value was at any given time. So are you holding a paper currency locked up with a banking system that is using your asset's for their benefit or are you in control of your future financial obligations, meaning a real (ROI) return on investment.  I did not create these's odd's, and why gas is so expenses, nope had nothing to do with it, but it affects me deeply. Inflation is what is happening, scary stuff but the writing is on the wall. Can this create windows of opportunity with gold investing.

So what will you do if your job is suddenly a rumor, walking papers last thing you could imagine and since you were on contract with them, no benefits at all. You are done, like dinner, wow! Now, what? You're going to read a section of the paper you have not read in a long time, classifieds looking for a job. Not many very attractive ones being posted is there?  So you turn to marketing on the internet or something along them lines.

Why invest in gold? Gold's role in long-term strategies

Yea you do need to do something "FAST" bills do not stop being mailed at all. Scary, why the odds are not predictable anymore, you have Korea looking for attention, Europe bailing out countries to maintain credibility with the Euro currency. So if you have an interest in getting an education may well be from home, where you will need to be to make this happen. I did this, l got focused and learned what l had to learn. Needed solutions to what l think make the most logical long-term financial sense.

Gold confiscation 80 years ago, Can it happen again?

April 10, 2013

Gold confiscation occurred 80 years ago to become a manipulative factor of controlling inflation by the U.S. President at the time Franklin Delano Roosevelt. What he did was forced owners to cash out at a pre-determined fixed rate. Could history repeat itself, not sure with all the uncertainty going on with the global economy, like rolling a dice and hoping for the best? Could "Government's" do this and force all owners of bullion to cash out at again a prevailing rate?

So gold dropped approximately another $15.00 bringing it to $1,559.00 an ounce, makes no logical financial sense when you review all the trends and what has happened with Cyprus and many other primary indicators that provide the investor with information to make an intelligent investment move hopefully, we do hate mistakes. The key factor is homework is a must, l mean the asset gold is the only benefit to a global financial recovery. Why do you think China has aggressively being buyers rather than sellers. Think about what this country is doing!

So how do you leverage this asset towards your financial benefits for retirement, educational funds for your grandkids, if that was part of your thinking! Education is a must when to understand world trends, can you afford to make yet another mistake. Only you can answer that! Times and the economy have drastically changed into a more complicated, unpredictable environment that we have created as humans. Stop blaming others for mistakes, the greed factor is like gold it has always been around, why it is a wise investment for that simple reason. It can control life's and, more importantly, a global world.

One of the wise's experts in this field that l believe in for all the right reason's I have studied his methods and his predictions over the last eight months or so. This man Nick Barisheff, President and CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc. has more knowledge and concrete facts that will make you realize what he is saying about the asset gold. Nick Barisheff, predicts this asset will have a value of $10,000.00 an ounce by the year 2017. Is he wrong? Too early to say, but his logic makes more sense as all the rules become more complicated in the economy. The actual benefit is that Governments will never be able to print gold and devalue it, as they are doing with the paper money. The only solution for Governments would be what  Franklin Delano Roosevelt did! So the question is can it happen again?

There Will Be No Economic Recovery, Because!

April 5, 2013

The Sad title,"There Will Be No Economic Recovery," really is, but the actual meaning behind it is an absolute nightmare, really has the potential, not what l wanted to hear. Came across this video that l am going to share with you very shortly, the messages you will hear, will make you mad, angry. Why? For the reasons you will learn and none of them where you're doing, the man you elected or may not have selected is providing you with this grief. Our Governments should be accountable for their unwise decisions, yes they have pressure, for sure!!!

If you're a business person or own business, an employee, going to school for your future education regardless of what you do, it will affect you in more ways than we ever imagine. Then another obstacle kicks in if you're like most humans you have a "bank account." Now think for a second, who has control of your money within the banking system? Not you that is a given!!!

Here is a perfect example of how banks have this ability, they been robbing us since they existed and that is a very long time. Watch this it will provide and illustrate why they are real criminals that are masked as solutions to our needs. They have full control; we need banks to pay our obligations daily, monthly all the items we took for granted. But what a cost!!! The points which are very logical reasons for why we will have a real hard time or if we will ever recover from this economic fiscal. If you want to look into a crystal ball that has merit on your future and perhaps share a solution if there is one.


There Will Be No Economic Recovery, Because!
All the facts that make sense; for these's following reasons!!

Cyprus and Gold: Lighting a Candle in a Dark Room

March 27, 2013

This article you're about to read is written by, Nick Barisheff President and CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc. He is going to share and break down the mess Cyprus banking system member of the European Union (EU) has created now with the dismissal of their CEO Yiannis Kypri. It'sT not at all pretty; we have no idea what the people of Cyprus are feeling, more than likely the same way we would react if we had no access to our money. Nick Barisheff illustrates the three primary reasons, breaks them down and, more importantly, paints a picture that you will see very clearly. 

I have been watching and reading the developments that have been taking place had no idea what was happening until l was introduced to Nick Barisheff article today. Knew it was bad but Nick made sense on why it's happening. Yes, l have written and followed Nicks predictions, his interviews with Greg Hunter of USAwatchdog and many others that he has shared his insights on why his research is based on hard cored financial facts. He's also the author of $10,000 Gold: The Inevitable Rise Is the Investor's haven, to be released on May 1, 2013.

By Nick Barisheff

By now most people are aware of the events unfolding in Cyprus. The financial world was rocked by the announcement that the "Troika" of the European Commission (ECB), International Monetary Fund (IMF). Along with the European Commission (EC) decided to give the tiny island of Cyprus an ultimatum - either pay a 9.9 percent wealth tax on deposits over 100,000 euros, or leave the EU. this tax would be taken directly from banking savings accounts. The expropriated funds would be used to "bail out" troubled Cypriot banks. those banks will, in turn, pay off larger European banks to which they owe money. Because some Cyprus banks will fail, some investors stand to lose up to 40 percent of their deposits and many bank employees will lose their jobs.

To describe the events in Cyprus and their relevance to gold, we can state with the analogy of a peaceful, self - satisfied Western investor asleep in a dark room. He has had trouble sleeping lately because he is starting to become more concerned about the safety of his personal wealth. He unaware that he is sharing his room with three elephants. They come each night but remain hidden by the darkness. He awakens for a moment and lights a candle. Suddenly the room is illuminated, and he sees the three beasts. the vision terrifies him, so he races to blow out the candle hoping to forget what he saw. Of course, once the light shines in truth it's hard to return to a state of ignorance. the events in Cyprus had the effect of turning on the lights, if only for a moment, before the financial media and the world's central bankers began a blitzkrieg campaign of denying the truth that was briefly exposed. The Internet captured the picture and allowed those who understand the dark side of international banking and the fiat Ponzi scheme upon which most of our lives depend on to share their knowledge of the three elephants


So what do these three elephants represent?

Is China succeeding with their marketing gold plan?

March 25, 2013

So what does China know that we already know, the only difference is they are doing something about it. Taking advantage, perhaps cornering the market on this asset along with a few others. Let's be honest, China has never actually revealed many trump cards as a rule, but this one is too complicated and Huge to keep it a hidden gem. They have increased their purchases rapidly with a sharp margin gain yearly, or perhaps even monthly.

What will all of this mean and what financial benefits could be out there for an average investor, who understands the formula and why this asset, gold has no way but to go up; demand and supply, a simple rule we all know. The sad reality will be that many will not even know what is happening, why the demand will be so high and the supply so low, means a pretty good (Return on Investment) ROI. When you review Nick Barisheff's CEO and President of Bullion Management Group Inc. book on why gold will have a value of $10,000.00 by 2017. Then this concept will make you think of some of the endless possibilities that can generate you a very lucrative return if you play your cards correctly.

Gambling will always be a risk; this goes without saying, "NOT" a real deal in life, why it is a gamble. All we can do is look at all the numbers, calculate them over and over again until you see the odds that make logical financial sense. This one has them kind of odds we dream, wish or hope it plays the way we visualized it in our mind. When you're buying metric tons of one of the most sought after assets, then l think we should see what and why China is taking these odds as a future investment with gold.

We have all heard, read and considering what has developed over on that tiny island called Cyprus, and it's banking crisis's that has all who have their dealings with this outfit. God is imagining waking up, and your debit card has been declined for a lousy 20 bucks of gas that is severely overpriced also. The global economy has drastically provided us with some of the most financial painful steps imagined. Not very much makes sense, if someone sneezes some commodity is going to have an effect and rise in price for whatever reason.

Who's advice do we trust for our future financial obligation to meet or exceed our financial retirement plans, a goal we have had since we understood that one day this would make sense. We played and followed all the logical economic sense that had a proven track performance. Mutual funds made sense at one time, and some still do have a proven performance track record. Many other investments also had this type of impact, but with one bad word from the media and your investment is on a roller coaster ride. Has this happened to you every before, it happened to me?

I did something about it, not to give an encore with my performance on future financial retirement planning. Time somehow is not on my side, and this could also be an obstacle you're likely facing, so what do we do? Wow never give up, it's never too late to start, with the right steps and mindset we can accomplish whatever it is we desire. I have provided you with some video's and articles that will give you information that your mind will visualize and see yourself in a strong state of mind.


 the vehicle that makes financial sense for many who have taken and taking this avenue, for the simple reason that now you can afford to leverage gold as an asset.

Sometimes dreams, investments come true because you had the desire to see it that way in your mind for once, See China sees the forest, not the trees. they believe and are investing in "GOLD"...

Planning your Retirement wisely, with a system..

March 23, 2013

So much term oil going on, are you concerned about the effect it will have, hope you are for many reasons. We just went through this not so long again, why do banks have this "Freedom." The ability to change their direction as long as it is in their favorite. So they are not magnificent at what they do, so why do we have to bail them out?

Mismanagement by overpaid advisor's, how the banks got themselves and found the quicksand are now sinking and asking us as clients to bail them out. Something was drastically going wrong here at an alarming rate, so what do we do, how do we overcome this crisis? We have to ask our self's what is real anymore; sure people now have no accesses to their money in a so-called haven. The Crises in Cyprus banking system.

Is there any good news in the global crises, gas is always going up, food prices, all the products we desire and need keep resigning at again an alarming rate. What can we do to relief the pain on these unforeseen obstacles that have an effect on our financial status? Can not trust banks, our retirement plan since it is geared towards the shrinking dollar as it has been invested, by our financial advisor


might provide a solution will make sense to a few
who understand the concerns
