The Truth About Silver and Gold

You must be asking how something that is used by almost everyone can be considered as fraud.  You’re probably thinking that surely, I must be talking about fake paper money.  Well, I’m not.  Sure, using fake paper money is fraudulent.  But at least we all know that it has no value whatsoever.  What a lot of people don’t know is one of biggest frauds of all time is happening legally – the “legitimate” paper money.

Here are the Major Frauds of the U.S. Monetary System:

We used to be on a gold standard.  But back in 1971, the gold standard ended.  It was when France redeemed US dollars for gold.  The US government then started printing money with insane disregard just to prevent it from going back to its intrinsic value of zero.  The growth of paper money can only be described as an explosion and to the uninformed, this might look like a good thing.  But remember, paper money’s intrinsic value is a big fat nothing.  With more and more big fat nothings circulating, then it’s just a matter of time before it plummets back to its original value.  Now you know why the Fed stopped publishing numbers for M3 back in 2006.

Gold and silver is the true money.  Gold for instance has the fundamental nature of money in the strictest sense of the word.  It is a great store of value because its value will never go down to zero.  It’s rare and highly desired by everyone around the world.  You can go ahead and try using your greenback in the farthest corner of the world and you might get a puzzled look at most.  But use gold and you’ll see a look that basically says, “now we’re talking”.  Silver is another metal that has all of gold’s properties and more.  Since gold is very expensive, silver will be needed for smaller transactions.

You’ve got to ask yourself why you’re working two shifts every other day just to earn paper money that has no intrinsic value.  Then you’re going to “store” them in banks and chances are, they won’t really store it.  They’re going to invest them somewhere else.  Their explanation is so that they can give you interest.  But what they won’t tell you is this interest is not even enough to cover the inflation.

How about the government planning on “converting” your IRA and 401K into “annuities” and other “steady payment streams”?  In short, they’re confiscating your accounts.  I wrote an article on the IRA & 401k Theft Plotted by US Government.  I released a follow-up shortly after entitled, When Heroes Disappoint because Businessweek conveniently changed the location and title of the article.

In all of history, paper money’s value eventually went down to zero.  The government doesn’t really care.  But we should.  This is why you should invest in silver or gold.  Time will come wherein the fraud will be revealed and silver and gold will be money again.  That’s why you should get silver and gold right now, while you still can.  You can check out my articles at the Silver Stock Report.

        

As you can probably say, Silver is my favorite of all precious metals.  Like I always say, investing in silver now will be a wise and profitable choice.  But what makes it a wise and profitable choice?  Why not Gold?  To answer that question, let’s see what gold brings to the table first.

Gold is basically money in itself.  Like what I’ve said in my Silver Stock Report, Gold is money because of its fundamental nature.  I listed down the reasons why it’s the perfect commodity in the report.  This is an excerpt of that article:

Gold is the perfect commodity for exchange for the following reasons:

• Gold is liquid and easily traded, with a narrow spread between the prices to buy and sell (about 3-5%).
• Gold is easily transportable, because it has a high value for its weight.
• Gold is money because it is divisible, you can divide it into coins, or re-melt it into bars, without destroying it.
• Also, gold is interchangeable. It can be substituted for another piece of gold with no hassle.
• Gold is also nearly impossible to counterfeit, as genuine gold is easily recognizable.
• When measured by weight, gold is easily countable, and verifiable.
• Gold is money because it is a great store of value. It is not subject to decay, rot, or rust.
• Gold has an intrinsic value, because it is rare, highly desired by the world over, and is a luxury item.

There is nothing in this world that has those same attributes.  Except for, you guessed it – Silver.  Silver has all the monetary properties of Gold plus a whole lot more.  History would tell us that the price ratio of Silver to Gold is 10:1 which means that 10 ounces of Silver can buy 1 ounce of Gold.  While today’s ratio is at about 61:1, it can and it will return to its historic value and probably more.  You may be asking how it’s supposed to return to its historic value.  You can check out my full article at:
