Increasing the value of the American Dollar, could this be the solution

June 4, 2014

Understanding how this all works, is mind hypothesis at its best; just not making any logical financial sense. So why did President Nixon, back in 1971 destroyed the biggest asset that the American buck had? He understood the power of the fiat currency, how it could be manipulated, for the one's that control the shots.

How do you get out of any financial problem, you encounter daily, you pay the price, whether it is interest on loans, bills or any other obligation. You need to make the numbers jive, the simple process with the fiat currency. All you need is ink and paper. If you're calling the shots, why central banks need the fiat currency.

Hyperinflation is like carbon monoxide or some form of cancer, which destroys the system at an alarming rate. What it does and controls, is what you bought last month your going to pay more when you purchase that item again. Sadly it is only the beginning, take notice of what you buy and what you paid for that same item; not so long ago. Numbers never premeditate any fabrication.

The egotistic decision makers are not helping us, the governments who we elected. Let's go back to 2004, drastic changes on the value of the American dollar, it started dropping against many fiat currencies. Losing it's value and power along the way on how business use to be conducted with this fiat currency.

Some of the faults that have logic are the wars the Americans have fought in, yes providing security for the rest of the world. America was a targeted nation, but we all wanted to be part of America and enjoy the freedom it provides all of us.

The cost factor of supporting a war for perhaps merit reason's is a gamble and increases hyperinflation daily. What has been happening, jobs disappear, wages never budget for hyperinflation, are we being manipulated by a concept that stopped working a long time ago. What would happen if we looked after our people and nation, after all why we voted for him?

Could China be on the right track, with a standard that will support the value of their fiat currency and perhaps become the new denomination of world exchange with all international transactions? It will truly have a substance value according to the standards; back up by the asset of gold. Why do you think China is accumulating all of this gold? Who knows how many metric tons of gold China has as a standard since they have been importing Gold.

The question is how will the America Dollar compete with a gold standard backing up the Renminbi, China's currency? How will this affect Central Banks conducting their daily business? Has America have an ace in the hole, if they do, they are not showing too much. Could the US Buck finally come to and end, or has it already happened?

The solution is, exactly what China has a standard backing up their currency, the asset of gold! Can not be reproduced, manipulated, or recreated in any other form that exists. So what would you invest in, paper or the asset of gold, who would you trust? The solution will be defined when China declares its holdings with this asset, gold!

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

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.
