Why Should You Buy Gold, Silver & Platinum Bullion Now?

It's time to buy gold, silver and platinum bullion! You need to buy the physical precious metals themselves - buy gold coins, silver rounds, platinum bars, buy through an "allocated" account such as GoldMoney or BullionVault. Just make sure that you secure your own store of precious metal bullion now in order to protect your wealth from the ravages of the coming inflation. But why should you listen to me?

In 2006 I wrote “WhichWayHomes.com" and explained that an over-leveraged housing market would lead to a flood of loan defaults, an evaporation of credit, blue-chip bankruptcies and a house price crash. House prices began crashing within a year of its launch, setting off a chain reaction of bankruptcies, stock market dislocations and government bailouts. Given this information, you might find it interesting to discover what I see coming next and why I think you should buy gold, silver and platinum bullion now.

This website is particularly relevant if a substantial portion of your wealth is comprised of assets denominated in US Dollars (USD) or British Pounds (GBP)...

The Short Version

If I were to cut to the chase I would tell you: “Buy physical gold, silver and platinum, take delivery and store it securely yourself. You could buy bullion coins and bars or alternatively buy your precious metals through a secure, "allocated" third party storage vault such as GoldMoney or BullionVault”.

However, I have taken the time to pull this website together in order to help you understand the full force of the magnificent financial storm which is approaching. If you thought that the current financial crisis is nearly over then read on - it is only just getting started!

What's Coming?

It began with the forging of the central banks – institutions set up with the power to rule over money. Their remit is to ensure financial stability. But we are, all of us, deceived.

A massive inflation is coming – that is a massive fall in the true value of our money, savings and investments. Scarcely a person in the U.S. or the U.K. will be untouched by inflation's handiwork. Every citizen, in his daily life and with his earthly fortune, will dance to a tune he mostly cannot hear, played for him by the government's inflation. It is therefore up to every citizen to learn for himself what is happening and to look out for himself, because no one else will be looking out for him.

"By a continuing process of inflation governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens." John Maynard Keynes

"The few who could understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." Nathaniel Meyer Rothschild

How to Protect & Grow Your Wealth

In such conditions I consider that there are two principal strategies which, either separately or together, can be employed to increase your relative wealth. Both strategies involve buying gold, silver and platinum.

Strategy 1: Grow Your Wealth as Gold, Silver & Platinum Outperform the General Market

This is the simplest strategy to understand. At the time of writing (July 2009) world global financial assets total $164 trillion, comprising cash, bonds, treasuries and stocks. By contrast, the precious metal markets are tiny: gold market $800 billion; silver only $8 billion; and platinum $5 billion. So the $164 trillion is 205 times the size of the gold market, 20,500 times the silver market and 35,000 times the platinum market.

As inflation starts to accelerate, a potentially significant portion of the $164 trillion will move into the tiny precious metals markets, pushing the price of gold, silver and platinum skyward...

Strategy 2: Preserve Your Wealth Against Hyperinflation as the Wealth of Others Falls Around You

A massive inflation is coming which will erode the value of cash and other paper investments such as bonds. The credibility of US Dollars and British Pounds is evaporating and the risks of hyperinflation - a complete loss of trust in our currencies and a currency default - grow stronger by the day. When the paper wealth has been destroyed by hyperinflation, the precious metal wealth will remain...
