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.

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.
