Asset Protection
Where are they now
If you would have told someone when the Dow hit 14,000 that Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and Wall Streets golden child Merrill Lynch would be extinct in a mere 2 years time you would have been hauled away to a padded cell. But here we are and as crazy as it sounds they are not. If truth be told the only thing left that's golden these days IS GOLD! (and silver of course). While we do not take any joy in Wall St.'s meltdown because millions of good people across this country lost much if not all of their hard earned money. We do however as traders and investors of precious metals take pride in the fact that our product, as it has all throughout history, not only held it's own but literally shined in comparison to our competition built on paper assets when faced with adversity.
And while we have no doubt these tough times will pass and what companies are left along with this great country will come back stronger than ever. With that said we at Eagle Bullion Group sincerely hope that some painful lessons were learned and where ever investors flock in the future they do so in a prudent and intelligent fashion which ALWAYS allocates a portion of their portfolio into precious metals not only for peace of mind but so they will not be fooled again.
What are you doing about it
The dollar is falling the dollar is falling!
Most Americans are doing nothing.
Historically, one of the best ways investors have protected themselves against a faltering currency is to purchase gold and silver. Let me show you the true consequences of the falling dollar. They're much larger than you might think.
A falling dollar means that everything that is priced in dollars is falling in value. If the dollar falls 10%, and you are paid US $50,000/year, your earnings will fall by US $5,000. If your home is worth US $200,000, its value will fall by $20,000. If your stock portfolio is worth US $100,000, it will decline by US $10,000.Dollar Falling Chart Most experts say the dollar is falling because of our "twin deficits": the federal budget deficit and trade deficit are at historically high levels. Simply put, more money is being spent than earned. Both deficits are serious, but the one that most concerns economists is the trade deficit. Academic studies say that when a trade deficit exceeds more than 5% of a nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), that country's currency must fall sharply—20%–40% in most cases. Devaluing the currency makes that country's exports more competitive, and imports more expensive. That in turn spurs exports and discourages imports, bringing things back into balance.
In the case of the United States, the balance of trade deficit consistently borders on 5% with run ups as high as a stunning 5.7% of GDP. Economists are unanimous in stating that the only way this can be addressed is by substantial dollar devaluation. What's more, U.S. leaders now accept this and are calling for a lower dollar. Not directly, but by warning U.S. trade partners not to intervene to prevent the dollar from falling.
How Much to Invest In Metals
How Much Should You Invest In Precious Metals?
Investment Pyramid
A growing number of investment advisors suggest placing 5% of your investment assets into gold, which is never sold. This is your "golden anchor." Another 15% of investment assets should be placed into gold and silver to be bought and eventually sold as you would a security. As it was stated earlier the story is out that the dollar has to fall yet MOST Americans are doing nothing about it.
The question is: What are you going to do to protect your wealth?
