Buy & Hold Commodity Assets (Particularly Gold & Silver) Starting Today: BIG Profits are Coming – Here’s Why (+2K Views)

Savers will not stand idly by and watch their savings get wiped out by taxes and inflation….[which] is good news for investors who buy and hold commodity assets today – and it’s also a stark reminder to not be fooled by the short-term head fakes that might make it look like the commodity bull is over. Stay the course – the biggest profits are yet to come. [Here’s why.] Words: 405

So says Kevin McElroy (www.wyattresearch.com) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled Why the Next Few Years Will Be Incredible for Commodity Investors.

Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!), may have edited the article below to some degree for length and clarity – see Editor’s Note at the bottom of the page for details. This paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement.

McElroy goes on to say, in part:

…With the fiscal cliff looming, and a variety of other “uncertainties” plaguing the market, people seem to want to save in the safest way possible. So much so that in the past four years since the start of the financial crisis (which, you might recall, centered around banks) deposits have nearly doubled from $3 trillion to nearly $5.5 trillion!

These savings deposits, though they’re not one single entity, are the most liquid and largest pile of dollars in existence which begs the question:

“What will happen to this giant pile of money when one of the following inevitable scenarios plays out?

  1. Taxes are raised on savings deposit interest.
  2. Inflation rises.”

Now ask yourself:

“What asset class typically outperforms savings deposits during inflation and high taxation?”

The answer is commodities. All of this money will someday come crashing into the commodity space. It will be joined by money fleeing the Treasury market (when rates rise and Treasuries crash) as well as money fleeing stocks (when taxes rise on corporations, capital gains and dividends).

The masses will realize that the only sane place to store their savings is in an asset class that the government can’t inflate away – and that indeed benefits from their efforts to inflate the currency to pay down debt – is commodities. They’ll also be inclined to buy portable stores of wealth (like gold and silver) which are harder to track and tax.

Conclusion

Savers will not stand idly by and watch their savings get wiped out by taxes and inflation….[which] is good news for investors who buy and hold commodity assets today – and it’s also a stark reminder to not be fooled by the short-term head fakes that might make it look like the commodity bull is over.

Stay the course – the biggest profits are yet to come….

3. Gold Belongs in EVERY Portfolio – Including Yours! Here’s Why

Gold_intro

I like gold because it’s a risk-reducing, portfolio-diversifying asset. It’s also been a strong-performing asset over the past decade – up nearly 400%. What’s more, it’s been reliable. In 2008, when the major U.S. indices plummeted 37% (and more into early 2009), gold returned nearly 6%. In addition to being an exceptional investment, however, gold has also been an exceptional investment within a portfolio context. That is, it has provided return while reducing portfolio risk. Gold has, in essence, been a free lunch. Words: 490

NOone is expecting rampant inflation. After all, the CPI is low with nothing happening in spite of all this money printing. While there has been no fallout I think that is the critical point. You cannot do these kinds of things we are doing forever and not experience any consequences. Sooner or later there are going to be consequences to what we are doing, and my fear is that it is going to be nasty, catch a lot of people off guard, and really hurt our society. That is the bottom line and why I am buying gold and silver, still, to this day. Words: 795

Comments I have made that “when this [financial crisis] finally ends the big winners are apt to be the ones who have lost the least purchasing power.

Gold tends to hold its purchasing power regardless of what happens to fiat currency.” have prompted questions about a) how to achieve such purchasing power with physical gold when this stage is reached, b) how to go about buying things with gold coins and c) how gold would be utilized under the assumption that a barter system would develop when dollars become worthless.
