Bank of Japan to Expand Monetary Stimulus

Bloomberg:  Bank of Japan (8301) governor nominee Haruhiko Kuroda said that the central bank will consider buying derivatives if he’s confirmed as governor and signaled a readiness for a quick expansion in monetary stimulus.  LINK...

Yet another Central Bank to join the global trend of expanding money and credit in the hopes of stimulating the economy. This time it's not a small player, Japan is the fourth largest economy in the world and a major trading partner with the USA. The true value of paper currency's is under attack and the race to the bottom is underway. Gold and Silver are your only means of safety.   BK

Gold vs Paper Money

By Simon Jack
Business correspondent, BBC News

A popular solution to the financial crisis has been to print more money, but is there another way of fixing our economy? Would the financial system be more stable if each pound, dollar or euro in our pocket was once again backed by gold? LINK...

Silver’s 2011 Annual Average Price Posts All-Time Record at $35.12

Silver posted an annual average price of $35.12 in 2011, more than double the $14.67 annual average price achieved in 2009.  This offers further testament to investors’ enthusiasm for the metal as silver World Investment (including implied net investment, silver bars and coins & medals) produced another historic high total last year of 282.2 million ounces (Moz), the equivalent of approximately $10 billion on a net basis, itself a record high.   LINK...

Since 9/11, It Has Paid to Own Silver, Gold and Oil

From: The Wall Street Journal

The best performing asset class of the past decade has been silver, up more than 900%, from $4.16 an ounce to nearly $42 at last check. Gold has been a healthy second, up nearly 568%, from about $272 an ounce to about $1854.
Crude-oil, which everybody expected to be a big winner after Sept. 11, has gained, though not as much as gold and silver, rising 225%, from less than $28 a barrel to about $86.
The biggest post-9/11 losers have been the US dollar, European stock markets and financial stocks in the S&P 500. The best-performing sector in the S&P over this time has been the energy sector, up 128%.   LINK...

Don’t let anyone tell you gold isn’t golden

Aug. 12, 2011, 8:18 a.m. EDT
By Al Lewis
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — OK, so I was wrong about gold.

In my first column of the year, I boldly predicted gold (CNS:GC1Z) would top $1,700 an ounce in 2011. Now it’s passed $1,800.
“A rising gold price is God’s little messenger, reminding us the money we save for the future is just paper,” I wrote. Geez, I sounded like one of those crackpot spokesmen from the AM radio commercials: “Gold has never been worth zero!” And nobody seemed to take me seriously since I admitted that my forecast was based on questions posed to my Magic 8-Ball, rather than insights from a real market analyst or economist.
I’ve written columns bullish on gold since 2003, after gold hit an astonishing, nose-bleeding, long-time high of $385 an ounce.
Those were the good ol’ days when, if you said something nice about gold, readers would email to call you a “gold bug” or some kind of conspiracy theorist planning for the end of the United States of America, or something.
When gold rallied well over $500 an ounce in 2005, I interviewed some very smart people who were pretty sure gold was just another bubble.
“It’s had a nice run over the last 24 months,” Jeff Thredgold, an economist with Vectra Bank Colorado, told me in 2005. “But gold is easily the single-worst investment of the last 25 years.” LINK...

We couldn't agree more. Get your family and your financial house in order first, then think about investing in gold as insurance. Financially speaking, one doesn't become rich by investing in gold, you are just maintaining your standard of living while the rest of the economy is falling. Gold protects your wealth against unsound financial policies in government and banking.   BK
