Gold Investment Advice – Should You Be Buying Gold For Your Survival Kit?


The Dynamic Wealth Report
January 31, 2011


These days the news is filled with stories about gold.  The yellow metal had quite the run in 2010 and it’s drawing a lot of attention.  Many investors are looking at adding gold to their portfolios.

But before you do, you need to be careful.

Die hard gold bugs and old-school survivalists often insist on personally holding a healthy stash of gold and silver.  They stockpile small bars and coins… and they keep it next to their guns, ammunition, and emergency food rations.

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout.  And the timing for this has never been better.

You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that sends penny stock prices through the roof.

We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time flat.

They’ll tell you to do the same… but be wary.

Their logic is well thought out… If the world ever “blows up”, most government currency is going to be worthless.  They argue stashing away rolls of US $20 bills is like burying food in your backyard.  You might think it’s a good thing to have, but it will be worthless when you dig it up years later.

The gold bugs and survivalists say in an economic collapse the only thing of value will be hard assets… like gold and silver.

You’ll need those bars of gold and silver coins to buy the basics.  They insist you should have a stash of gold and silver on hand for every member of your family.  And it needs to be someplace you can easily access it.

But I don’t buy it… and neither should you!

Think about this for a moment.  If the US government was to collapse and the American population does go crazy, the US Dollar might be worthless.  But the gold and silver stash you’ve worked so hard to accumulate won’t do you much good either.

Nobody’s going to be working down at the local Safeway grocery store.

Nobody’s going to be working period.

So who do you expect to trade those nice gold and silver coins with?  Who determines what they’re worth?  If you’re starving, a morsel of food becomes the most valuable thing in the world.

You’d trade all your gold and silver for one meal.  And one meal won’t do you a lot of good.

Now, let me say this… I’m not expecting the world to implode.  I’m not expecting the dollar to be devalued.  I’m not expecting the American economy to collapse.

As a matter of fact, I think just the opposite.

I see the global economy recovering.

The US economy is starting to grow.

And I see commodity prices jumping higher on huge global demand.

And it all points to a big problem… inflation.  The Fed’s pumping another $600 billion of easy money into the economy.  And it will create inflation. The cost of everything is going higher…

We’re seeing early signs of it now.

The riots in Egypt are caused (partially) by food inflation.  China’s increasing interest rates to keep their inflation in check.  And, the EuroZone is starting to talk tough about inflation.

It looks like the only people who are blind to this runaway freight train is the US Federal Government… specifically the Federal Reserve.  They’re standing on the railroad tracks and don’t see the runaway train barreling down behind them.

The Fed is going to get run over by inflation.

We’re going to see the price of every hard asset jump in value.  It’s not going to be just food.  You’ll see the cost of homes and automobiles jump.  Equipment, furniture, medical care, and all other services will start going up in price.  Gas will cost more. Food will cost more.

But the real problem will be pay.

Your income will not keep pace with inflation.  It always happens, the cost of living will move up faster than your paycheck… and everyone will be squeezed.

This coming inflation is why you should own gold and silver…

But don’t buy it for your survival kit.  Buy it for your investment accounts.  Once inflation starts running over people, the value of hard assets will jump.  And the value of gold and silver will jump too.

I think the best way to own these commodities is with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

There are a number of them out there.  Just make sure the one you buy holds onto the actual commodity.  It’s a great way to profit from the coming inflation… and best of all, you won’t have to draw a treasure map to find your hidden stash.

Sectors On The Move

Oil prices have been volatile lately.  However, the consensus is energy prices are moving higher.  And as a result, oil and gas pipelines are once again finding they are in high demand.
