Precious Metals Investing

My guest today is David H. Smith, Precious Metals Mining Stock Expert and Expert in the Resource sector.  David Smith co-wrote the book Second Chance: How to make and.  Keep Big Money from the Gold and Silver Shock - Wave with David Morgan of The Morgan Report. David Smith is a senior resource analyst for the Morgan Report.  David Smith travels the world visiting mining properties and analyzing their potential. David writes for many precious metal mining financial sites. He will also be a featured speaker at the Silver Symposium. In today's interview David gives us some insider hints for profiting from Canadian Mining Stocks. There are some critical nuances he feels the US Investor needs to understand to profit. The second idea in the book Second Chance is just as important as the first but investors tend to pay more attention to making money and less attention on strategies on how to keep what you made. David feels many investors will ride the Gold and Silver Shock wave up but then ride it all the way down. David has some effective strategies so that doesn't happen to you and you leave the table with your earnings.                   ;

Wall Street Silver's motto is Buy Physical Silver - Protect your wealth. This week on PreciousMetalsInvesting.com Ted Sudol interviews Ivan Bayoukhi. Ivan is the founder of the Reddit group Wall Street Silver. This group is growing at an amazing rate. Since our last interview about a week ago they have added over 10,000 members and are now at 60,000 strong. Ivan feels the group's focus on increasing the public's awareness of silver has been a major factor in today's Silver Squeeze. There are many reports of mints, precious metals dealers, etc running out of physical silver. This silver squeeze is exposing the lie of paper silver. The paper silver is fiction that can only happen through the charade of hypothecation and fractional lending. Many people that believe they have physical silver really only have a paper promise of silver. The bullion banks and central banks depend upon not everyone demanding delivery of their physical silver at the same time so they sell the same piece of silver over and over again.

I have Precious Metals story that should put a smile on your face and some spring in your step. I've been talking about the benefits of investing in precious metals for over 10 years. If we are going to be completely honest with each other the conversation had tended to be dark. FIAT CURRENCY IS GOING TO CRASH THE DOLLAR IS GOING TO COLLAPSE FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON IS COMING CENTRAL BANKS MANIPULATE PRECIOUS METALS PRICES AGAIN MANIPULATION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS PRICES EXPOSED AND REGULATORS EITHER LOOK AWAY OF GIVE THE PERPETRATORS A SLAP ON THE RISK FINE. MANIPULATORS OF PRECIOUS METALS PRICES DO IT AGAIN. I've known precious metals experts who have spent their entire lives and careers waiting for the manipulation to end, true price discovery to happen, and triple-digit silver prices. But face it. Up to now the best story we have had for the precious metals is the big bad wolf and the three pigs. We all know the winds of economic destruction are coming and will blow this house of cards down. But thank goodness precious metal investors are not like the pig who built their house of fiat currency. Thank goodness precious metal investors are not like the pig who built their house of stocks and bonds. The houses of those investors will be blown away. Precious Metals investors built their house with a solid foundation of physical precious metals - silver and gold.  But the precious metals and specifically silver has a brand new story. A story of coming silver awareness, higher silver prices, and true price discovery. Ivan Bayouhki established WallStreetSilver, a Reddit group that promotes silver. The group, calling itself the Silverbacks now has over 51,000 members. According to their press release, the goal of the group is to spread awareness of silver. The group wants to spread the word that silver can protect your wealth. Ivan started a gofundme page to increase awareness with a nationwide billboard campaign. The gofundme campaign collected over $105,000 in the first 24 hours and continues to grow with donations not only from individual forum members but also from large silver producers, precious metals firms, and precious metals funds. They have already announced multiple billboard locations in Cincinnati, Ohio, Las Vegas, Nashville, TN, Oklahoma, Buffalo, NY with more to come. Don't tell me that the Silverbacks and WallStreetSilver isn't having an effect. Endeavor Silver, a major producer of silver is actually holding back almost 45% of their 4th quarter production in the belief that higher prices are coming. It's reported that mints such as the Perth Mint have run out of physical silver and are supplying clients who are demanding delivery that they accept bars refined in China. You'll be hearing more about the new precious metals  "David versus Goliath" story in upcoming posts featuring Ivan, WallStreetSilver, the SilverBacks, and the billboard program.

This week on Precious Metals Investing Ted Sudol interviews Charlie Nedoss, Senior Market Strategist at LaSalle Futures Group. Charlie's focus is on precious metals but he also has his eye on what is happening with commodities and oil. His expertise is in technical analysis and it always amazes me the amount of insight and trading information he can get from analyzing the charts. For the past few podcasts, we have been talking about the coming inflation and what effect it will have on precious metals.  If you have been shopping lately you know that the real inflation rate is far higher than the CP figures the government releases. The evidence of inflation is all around us in the price of groceries at the supermarket, the cost of gasoline which in this area has gone up 75 cents since last year, and the cost of cars both new and used. The government modified the CPI to exclude food and energy. I don't know about you but food and energy are important in my household. With Inflation in our future, many precious metals experts were predicting the precious metals would rise. But they haven't. In fact, some of the precious metals have gone down.  When I look at the world situation, all of the stimulus that will be inflationary, and the world shortage of silver I look at the current situation as bargain time in the precious metals. This can be an advantageous time to stock up as long as you don't overpay on premiums on physical precious metals. I believe that physical precious metals should form the foundation of your precious metals investment. There are alternate ways to invest in Precious Metals such as those discussed in this Precious Metals Update. Charlie Nedoss is an expert in technical analysis and can assist you. It's important that you contact your own financial advisor before making any investments.

All investments are not suitable for everyone and your financial advisor will help you decide what is the best for you.

In last week's silver update we talked about the Central Bank Gold Buying Agreement that was originally signed in 1999. It was up for renewal this year and the Central Banks that signed the original agreement decided not to renew it. The reality is Central Banks are no longer selling gold but reading the world situation, the stability of fiat currencies, and today's realities they are gold buyers. Central Banks collectively hold a huge hoard of gold and their actions can have a substantial effect on the price of gold. It's important for precious metals investors to understand what the Central Bank Gold Buying Agreement was and what the motivations were for this agreement. If you understand those motivations it will help guide your precious metals investing philosophy. Although when originally signed in 1999 it was called the Central Bank Buying Agreement it more correctly should have been called the Central Bank Selling Agreement. Why? Because it was really designed to prevent another disastrous Brown's Bottom decision. This decision has gone down in history as one of the most financially disastrous decisions in history achieving fame as Browns Bottom. Gordon Brown, Britain's Prime Minister sold half of Britain's gold reserves 20 years ago at the absolute bottom of the market when others were also selling their gold. Make no mistake about it, this agreement was designed to serve the best interests of the central banks. They didn't want to be caught selling cheap again. They wanted to coordinate and limit the amount of gold selling at any one time. I know if you go to the organization that formed and promoted this agreement they will go on about how the did it to stabilize the prices and markets.  If it was done for our sakes to stabilize the markets why was it just formulated and signed 20 years ago? Remember Brown's Bottom occurred about 20 years ago too. Coincidence? I don't think so. Central Banks were burned selling cheap and didn't want it to happen again. So what does this mean for the precious metals investor? Let's first look at one other decision the Central Banks recently made  -the Basell III agreement which raised gold from a tier 3 asset to a tier 1 asset. What exactly does that mean for banks and what benefit is to them? Banks make their money by lending it out. The amount of money they can lend out is based on the reserves they hold. So when an asset is a lesser tier 3 asset like mortgages, the banks can only lend about 50% of the value of that asset. With a tier 1 asset, the banks can loan 100 percent of the value. So with Basell 3 in raising gold from a tier 3 asset to a tier 1 asset the asset valuation has doubled the amount of money banks could lend. In effect very significantly increasing the amount of money banks can make by greatly increasing the amount of mortgages they can make and money they can lend. So for the precious metals investors basically what this means is that the central banks, who, because of their huge catch of gold have a significant influence on the price of gold can now make a lot more money. Can you ever imagine that once they are given this huge gift that doubles their gold asset base enableing them to double the amount of money they lend and very very significantly increasing the money the banks can make that this decision raising gold to a tier 1 asset will ever be reversed? Can't you just hear the howls from banks who suddenly had their profit potential halved by moving gold back to a tier 3 asset?

Today's spot gold price is $1507.20 Today's spot silver price is $18.07 Platinum $932.85 and Palladium $1,644.50  By the time you are listening to this update I'm sure the prices will be different Yesterday Gold appeared to be on a rocket ship ride. Today it appears to be in a bit of a free fall down about $25 Despite the breathless voices quoting the ups and downs of precious metals prices, we should remember why you invest in the precious metals. Their strength is they are a store of value.  If you look at the historical performance it paints a picture of enduring and rising value. The 7-day performance is up about $20 The 6-month performance of gold is up about $200 The 1-year performance of gold is up about $300 The 5-year performance of gold is up about $300 The 31-year performance of gold is up about $1100. Just to reinforce the idea gold is a store of value you don't have to look any further than the central banks. The 21 central banks in the Basel III agreement raised gold from a Tier 3 asset to a Tier 1 asset. Which means they can loan 100% of the value of gold as opposed to lesser securities they hold like mortgages, etc where they can only loan about half the value. Central banks know what the real stores of value are and are preparing for what is ahead in terms of the rocky financial world and rocky political conditions. Central Banks have become buyers of gold rather than sellers. The 21 Central Banks decided not to renew the CBGH or Central Bank Gold Agreement which governed Central Bank selling of gold because they aren't selling gold anymore.    We'll explore the Central Bank Gold Agreement and what it means for you as a precious metals investor in more detail in next week's precious metals investing update brought to you by preciousmetalsinvesting.com. PreciousMetalsInvesting.com brings you tips from precious metals experts like David Morgan author of Silver Manifesto and Second Chance, Paul Mladjenovic author of Precious Metals Investing for Dummies and Stock Investing for Dummies, Charlie Nedoss of LaSalle Futures Group, Randy Smallwood CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals Corporation, Richard Mayberry author of the US and World Early Warning Report and the Uncle Eric series of books offering Financial advice to young people, Ted Sudol of PreciousMetalsInvesting.com and author of Affiliate Marketing for Dummies and many more.    Stay well and feel secure with your precious metals investments.

Puerto Rico Bonds - Default Announced - Is this Only the First Bomb to Drop? Precious Metals Investing podcast - Audio version of our interview Puerto Rico Bonds - Is it the first bomb to drop in the Bond Bubble Collapse Michael Pento predicted in an earlier interview here on www.PreciousMetalsInvesting.com Michael Predicted this in his book "The Coming Bond Market Collapse: How to Survive the Demise of the U.S. Debt Market." In this interview Ted Sudol talks with Paul Mladjenovic, author of Stock Investing for Dummies about the big story in the news - the Puerto Rico Bond Default. We have been hearing rumblings about the possible debt default in Puerto Rico but we have also been hearing about other possible defaults. Atlantic City, New Jersey is almost out of cash and near default. When the casinos first came into Atlantic City and cash was flowing in to government coffers it was spent lavishly. When the economics turned down the government expenditures continued to outstrip the money coming in. The formula for a default is all to common and easily recognized. Spending that outstrips revenue coming in. Since politicians like spending money and telling all of their constituents they can have everything the die is cast. Politicians keep kicking the can down the road for someone else to solve the problem and meanwhile the debt keeps growing.

The big news we discuss on www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com is manipulation in the precious metals markets and Deutsche Bank's admission of guilt in a silver price fixing lawsuit. Even more important is that they have agreed to expose other manipulators.  Ted Butler has been investigating price fixing for 20 years in the precious metals markets. Bill Murphy and Chris Powell in 1998 formed GATA the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee "to expose, oppose, and litigate against collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial instruments." So this has been a long hard fight to bring these manipulation schemes to light. Congratulations to all of those in the precious metals markets who fought to expose these manipulations in the face of denials and stonewalling by the regulatory organizations that were supposed to be the watchdogs. The precious metals advocates who are heros in this story are almost too numerous to mention. People like Gerald Celente and websites like www.zerohedge.com If I have forgotten any that I should have mentioned please said an email to ted@preciousmetalsinvesting.com and I will make the needed edits and additions to this post. On this Precious Metals Investing Podcast I talk with Paul Mladjenovic, author of Precious Metals Investing for Dummies and High Level Investing for Dummies about the manipulation in the Precious Metals markets and what he feels will be the effects for investors. If we look to the past for some guidance we can see that a threat of a lawsuit against the big banks and suspected manipulators lead to a steep rise in precious metals prices. A settlement lead to a drop. But here we are in new territory. A major bank, Deutsche bank,admitted guilt in the silver price fixing lawsuit and further more agreed to exposing other banks that participated in the manipulation schemes. Does this spell the end of the manipulation schemes in the precious metals markets? I certainly hope so. I think a a freer market will mean a truer price discovery for the precious metals. For a long time the silver story has been very compelling. Increasing industrial use in electronics, solar energy, medical uses, low recovery rates and lower levels of production leading to smaller above ground stocks of silver. The story of silver was very compelling and many silver advocates asked why in the face of all of these factors wasn't silver higher. Now we know - Bank Manipulation to keep the prices down. To repeat the words of Richard Maybury of the US and World Early Warning Report: "I see nothing but good things ahead for the precious Metals."              

On www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com I talk with Richard Maybury one of the world's top free market thinkers. His geopolitical analysis and world view has been guiding investors and subscribers to his US and World Early Warning Report to profitable investments for years.  In this episode we talk about government and the differences between government and the country. Confusing these two leads many to give the government more credibility than it deserves. Blind loyalty to government leads to many problems. The US government has overthrown democratically elected leaders, supported dictators and butchers that have killed their own people. Unfortunately the two things we can depend upon from government are war and currency debasement. Although that is not good for the people - it causes a lot of suffering and pain. But it is profitable for precious metals investors. Great news for Android users!

Janet Yellen's recent appearance at the annual government hearing did not inspire confidence. At http://www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com we discuss the importance of diversifying away from things that depend upon monetary policy that is being determined by the FED. Precious metals investments allow you to diversify away from investments that have counter party risk.  Janet Yellen's inability to answer simple questions, and uncertainty in the future course of action left many investors on edge. I've seen other commentators call her appearance that of an Android Robot or Deer in the headlights. Go to google and enter those phrases and see what you think. I think the point expressed in this podcast is well taken. With people like this running the FED and having control of the country's monetary policy shouldn't you be invested in the precious metals?

With all of the economic headlines and prognosticators screaming the headline of the minute it's enough to make your head swim. Too much information, rather than helping us sometimes is just throwing up so much smoke it's confusing. Rather than bringing clarity it just's just additional distraction away from what is important. Today at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com Ted Sudol talks with Paul Mladjenovic about precious metals and the big picture. Paul is the author of Precious Metals Investing For Dummies, Stock Investing for Dummies and High Level Investing For Dummies. Precious metals have been in a tough market for a while. We assumed the bear market would not last as long as it did. But we firmly believe that  Gold and silver are up in 2016 and the stock market performance in 2016 has been dreadful. Precious metals and precious metals investments should be a part of the diversification of your portfolio. Remember that gold etf's etc are still just paper carrying counter party risk. It's important that part of your diversification should be in hard assets - the physical precious metals.

Retail Sector Dangers & Precious Metals There is a tightening of consumer spending. Consumer spending can often be divided between necessities like food and water and discretionary items. When people have less money they buy fewer discretionary items. When consumers spend less money retailer suffer. Most retailers have razor thin profit margins to begin with so if you have a tighter market and fewer sales you have store closings. Sports Authority has declared bankruptcy. There is a report McDonald is going to be closing 600 stores this year because of falling sales. When have you ever heard about McDonald closing stores? The story was always about them opening stores. I know they closed the store in my town. Walmart is closing stores. When has a story about Walmart ever been about anything other than how it is an unstoppable colossus? It's time for caution in the retail sector. Put on trailing stops and stop loss orders because there is too much debt.  Play it safe take some defensive strategies. Make sure you consult with your financial advisor.

Bond Market/h2> Bubble In today's volatile stock market some people look to bonds as a safer alternative investment. But is it? Ted Sudol and Paul Mladjenovic, author of Stock Investing For Dummies discuss bond advantages and bond dangers. Because of the low interest rates some people are considering lesser quality bonds often referred to as "junk bonds." Often time that is an appropriate nickname. For any of you who saw the movie The Big Short you got a taste of what happens when underlying assets can's support the paper that supposedly represents them. Bonds carry counter party risk. You are only holding a piece of paper. A claim on the underlying asset. What happens when that company, city government, state government, or even country government can't support the bonds they have issued. What happens when one of these organizations declares bankruptcy?  We think it is a good investment strategy to diversify your investments and part of that diversification should be investments in precious metals. If you are investing in the physical precious metals like bullion, silver eagles, gold eagles, silver maple leaf bullion coins you are also diversifying yourself away from counter party risk.

Today we have a myriad of investment options, stock market, etfs, options trading, and the futures trading. What part should futures trading play in your investment strategy?

Coming Bond Market Collapse Protect Your Portfolio From the coming Bond Market collapse. Ted Sudol interviews Michael Pento at http://www/preciousmetalsinvesting.com Record debt and prolonged low interest rates are leading to a Bond Market Collapse. Michael Pento is the author of The Coming Bond Market Collapse: How to Survive the Demise of the U.S. Debt Market. He correctly predicted the housing bubble. You need to protect your portfolio and assets. Know what to do and when. Precious metals are one of the safest investments in times of turmoil and stock market risk.He correctly predicted the housing bubble. In this wide ranging interview Michael explains why he feels the coming bond market collapse is inevitable. He also explains how to protect your investments and portfolio. The precious metals he feels are a safe haven in the coming collapse and will do very well for people who invest in them. Mr. Pento is a well-established specialist in the Austrian School of economics and a regular guest on CNBC, Bloomberg, FOX Business News and other national media outlets.

On www.preciousmetalsinvesting.comTed Sudol interviews Paul Mladjenovic, author of Stock Investing For Dummies about front loading and asset inflation.  We been saying for months that the high level of the stock market was due to artificial stimulation. This was something that several commentators claimed the FED was doing too. But of course the FED wouldn't comment. Just recently a FED governor or Ex-Governor admitted the FED was doing this in the hopes of generating a "wealth effect" that would lead to prosperity. The FED has many different ways to flood the market with money. That leads to asset inflation. The recent admission was vindication for a lot of people that were claiming this was happening several months ago.  

Auto Loans and Record Debt Are sales fueled by bad debt good? In this audio interview at http://www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com we discuss the record auto sales. We have been told this is a sign that the economy is healthy. But is it really? A precursor to a bubble is the stimulus of artificial debt. Typically auto sales means consumer is in good shape. But you find today's auto sales have been fueled by an explosion of low quality debt. The ways sub-prime loans fueled the housing bubble today's auto sales have also been fueled by lesser quality loans. If I can get an auto with little money down and great terms that might be great for me. But if I run into economic trouble and can't maintain that debt by making payments that is not a good thing. In the past typically you would be able to get a 36 month loan. Today auto buyers are being offered now an 84 month loans. Although this certainly lowers the monthly payments it also makes autos available to people who might not be able to support the payments in the future.

FANGS are in the news. But what are FANGS? Today on www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com   Ted Sudol and Paul Mladjenovic, author of Stock Investing for Dummies, High Level Investing For Dummies, Precious Metals Investing For Dummies and High Level Investing For Dummies discuss FANGS. FANGS stand for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google. At today's high prices is it a good investment? An important piece of data to look at is the price to earnings ratio. As recently reported although Amazon's sales were at record levels they were only making a tiny sliver of profit. Whenever you are looking at a stock in a slowing market a P/E ratio of over 900 as Amazon's was a few weeks ago is an extreme danger sign. At hyper heated levels like this investing in the precious metals makes them a bargain. Twitter for instance doesn't even make a profit. So what is to justify the stratospheric level of the FANGS prices at these astronomical P/E ratios?  

On www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com we discuss factors behind the headline statistics we are bombarded with almost daily. I read a recent article that seemed at first to have a very strange headline relating the FED to the current Star Wars Movie. Sales are currently being touted as the best of all of the movies in the Star Wars Franchise. However those headline statistics may not tell the whole story. People often just take the statistics touted in the headlines and don't ask about factors that are involved. When you compare the INFLATION ADJUSTED sales of the current Star Wars movie against the first Star Wars movie it is actually worse. The sales of the Star Wars movies pale in comparison to the all time champion Gone With The Wind. The point the author was making is that we often hear statistics without hearing about the factors that influenced them. As in the Star Wars movie comparison there are often factors that make what on the surface seem like positive statistics into something deserves less cheering. For instance the government released statistics they touted as showing a positive job growth. But if we look behind those numbers to see what type of jobs are being created we often find they are lower paid positions in the service industry replacing what were once higher paying jobs in manufacturing.

On www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com Ted Sudol interviews Richard Maybury Richard is the author of the Uncle Eric series of books. His US and World Early Warning Report geopolitical analysis has been guiding his subscribers to profit.  Richard views the world through the prism of empire building. The United States has intervened in wars that extended back to 64 B.C. Western governments have been trying to conquer the Muslims and the Muslims have been trying to make them go away. The US is meddling in wars that have been fought for thousands of years without having reached a solution. On of the images Richard uses to describe the US meddling against the Muslims is "poking rattlesnakes with sticks."  The problem is that the average US citizen is not aware of all of the times the US has "poked the rattlesnakes with a stick" by installing dictators around the world, intervening in wars we have no business in, and otherwise trying to tell others around the world how they should live. The only thing the average US citizen notices is when they struck back, There are more than 40 cases of the US overthrowing Latin American governments  Every time we send over troops or kill people and their families with drones we create more enemies for the US who then look to join groups who are willing to fight against the US.  Then the average citizen can't comprehend why they are against us. Their are more than 40 cases of the US overthrowing Latin American governments. Americans have not been told anything about this history of imperialism that has been running the geopolitics for thousands of years. There are two things that we can depend upon from the government - war and currency debasement. Governments need to debase the currency to pay for the wars they are involved in. Because we can count on the governments for these two things we can use this to guide our investing.  Richard says, "I can't see anything but good times ahead over the long  term for the precious metals - gold, silver and platinum. The precious metals are a crisis hedge that people go to when governments wreck their economy and I can't see any other outcome from this war." One of the most important things people can do is invest in the precious metals. We discuss sticks the government can use, adjustable yield nuclear weapons, and the future of the universe. People get the government they deserve and are willing to work for. We discuss the part the media play in the current world view held by most citizens. Politics is a corrupting force and we discuss what roll the average citizen should play since politicians take your vote as a mandate for their policies.  Richard Maybury's newsletter The US and World Early Waring Report has been helping your readers to profit from your geopolitical analysis.

Ted Sudol interviews Paul Mladjenovic at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com about the energy sector. The oil boom fueled a lot of debt. Energy companies that pile on debt are now having problems servicing that debt. Saudi Arabia produced at high levels to cause difficulty for high cost producers now are forced to pump at high levels and low oil prices for revenue to meet their people's needs.

First Glance at the Headline Statistics Does Not Reveal Some of the Worrying Factors behind the News. If someone who had a good paying full time job can only find a lower paid part time job and must get two part time jobs to make ends meet is that good news? What do the Positive Job Statistics Really Reveal? If so many Jobs are being created why is there no growth in income? If someone who had a good paying full time job can only find a lower paid part time job and must get two part time jobs to make ends meet is that good news? What is the quality of the Jobs being created? On www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com Ted Sudol and Paul Mladjenovic let some of the air out of the job statistics by discussing the worrying factors behind the headlines.

Economic Collapse This is the audio version of the Economic Collapse video available on www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com It's the first in our Collapse series of interviews. This audio is one of thePrecious Metals Investing podcasts available on iTunes. lick here to listen or subscribe: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/precious-metals-investing/id530765475?mt=2 Economic Collapse is less likely to occur than the other types of collapses we discussed in this series. When we are talk about Economic collapse we are talking about the system of exchange of goods and series. Generally in a healthy economy there is a balance between demand and consumption.  There are things that we all want which makes up demand and consumption. On the other side we have production to satisfied those demands. When supply and demand becomes adversely affected and they are out of balance we can have an economic collapse. For instance in a capitalistic society you have a wide variety of firms competing with each other to supply the goods and services to meet the demands of the consumer. In many cases of economic collapse the supply side of the equation is not meeting the needs. It may be because the demand was being fulfilled by single government run company saddled with bureaucracy and inefficiencies. It may be because government policies promoted too much artificial growth in the absence of demand. Whenever you see an economic collapse you see that supply and demand are out of balance.  Paul Mladjenovic is the author of Precious Metals Investing for Dummies, Stock Investing For Dummies and High Level Investing For Dummies.

Richard Maybury is one of the world's top free market thinkers and in this wide ranging interview at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com we talk about investing, war, politics and precious metal investing. Richard's long term view is not in terms of years but decades. The two things you can depend upon that politicians and governments give us you can use to guide your investments are War and Currency Debasement. Richard talks about the geopolitical situation are now in and how we got here. Richard is the author of 22 books including The Great Monetary Calamity series. One of his book series, the Uncle Eric books, are written in the form of letters written from a favorite uncle to his nephew. One of Mr. Maybury's greatest strengths is his ability put financial concepts, monetary concepts, and geopolitical concepts in terms that are clear and easy to understand. The Early Warning Report, Richard's Newsletter, has been read by government officials, the CIA and individual investors. You can find more information and a sample newsletter at www.earlywarningreport.com. There are two things you can always depend on politicians and governments to create that you can use to guide your investments - War and Monetary Debasement. History has shown governments always return to War and Monetary Debasement and you are relatively save basing your long term investment strategy on them. To forecast what investments will do you need to forecast what governments wll do. Richard shows you the strategy that has been doing very well for them for the past 20 years. Precious metals have enduring value because they can't be created by simply switching on the government printing press. In fact today it doesn't even take that much effort to debase the currency - all it takes today is some manipulation of the computer digital digits.

Chinese Currency & Reserve Status Chinese Currency to achieve reserve status - what does it mean for the stock market, the precious metals market and you? The International monetary fund will give the Chinese currency known as the Yuan or Renminbi reserve status. Sometimes there is confusion on the correct name. To clear up some of the confusion Renminbi means "People's Currency" and the name of their currency while the Yuan is the unit of currency. In this audio interview on www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com Ted Sudol and Paul Mladjenovic talk about the Chinese currency, reserve status and what it will mean for both the US dollar and your investments Some commentators believe there will hardly be any effects from this. They feel the dollar will not be challenged in any way and point to China's closed policies and many of the changes they have to make politically to cause people to have full faith in their currency. The fact that it will take some time for the Yuan to challenge the dollar is no doubt true. However China appears to be positioning itself for dominance in the future. commentators have noticed the record gold buying by China for the past several years. This is just counting their official purchases although other commentators feel when you add that to their "unofficial" purchases something that is potentially seismic is going on.  The US gold picture seems much hazier. No one knows how much gold the US has. The government has refused calls for independent audits.The last audit was done in 1950. When Germany recently asked for its gold back that they stored here for safe keeping they were told that they could get it back in 7 years. I don't know about you but that doesn't fill me with confidence that the US government actually has the gold other countries have been storing here for "safe keeping." If it is revealed that China is sitting on a hill of gold and the US just has empty gold vaults I think people's perception will change about the relative value of the currencies. As the Yuan is used in more international trade countries and businesses that once could only conduct business through an exchange of dollars will not have an alternative that completely sidesteps the us dollar. That change though gradual, will certainly be seismic.

The Fed Rate Hike has been in the news lately. Some commentators think that there won't be any effects. They say the rate hike is a measure of the strength of the recovery. Other commentators feel that the economy is still weak and this will start a cascade of negative effects. comment. In this interview at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com I talk with Paul Mladjenovic, author or Stock Investing For Dummies on what he thinks it means for the stock market, the precious metals market and the future for investors. I don't know if you feel as I do that a drop of the stock market of over 300 points negates the argument that their won't be any effects and I think that we will see increasing economic repercussions. One of the reasons it is wise to invest in the precious metals is for diversification We have seen how some of the junk bond funds have told their investors lately that they can't get their money out. That has made other investors in junk bond funds nervous and has lead to some big withdrawal numbers. As Paul quoted the old investment saying "The only thing better than return on your money is the return of your money." In many ways the highly leveraged debt is like a game of musical chairs. When the music suddenly stops the investor who has not diversified and protected himself loses.

Pension Dangers Part 2 Pension Dangers Part 2 - This is the second part in a two part interview at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com on pension dangers and investing in precious metals. Ted Sudol interviews Paul Mladjenovic Paul talks about some of the impending dangers to those investors who have a significant portion of their investment portfolio invested in pension vehicles and the importance of diversifying your investment portfolio by investing in precious metals. In this second part of the two part services on pension dangers Paul focuses on municipal pensions. Paul contrasts the budgeting processes of individuals who must balance their budgets with governments who make future promises and obligations. In many cases those promises and obligations that people based their future financial health on are coming due and the politicians are saying there is no money. This is adversely affecting both the people that depended upon pensions that are in jeparody and those whose investment portfolio include investments in pension vehicles.

Ted Sudol interviews Paul Mladjenovic at www.preciousmetalsinvesting.com  Paul talks about the impending dangers that may face you in your pension investments and the vital role precious metals should play in your investment strategy. Paul says for a lot of people whose investment portfolio is in pensions they may be facing zero or part of their account may be facing zero. He says the wealthiest people who have survived tough times like this have always invested in portable wealth like gold and silver
