GOLD AND SILVER AT BARGAIN LEVELS
Gold is down $2 and silver is down $.10 in thin pre-holiday trading. A little less safe haven demand and some book squaring going into the holiday caused gold to dip. One analyst discussing the light pre-holiday trading conditions said, "I haven't seen it this thin in about six months." News that Wells Fargo announced that it expects record 1st quarter earnings of approximately $3 billion or $.55 a share eased the safe haven demand for gold. It also helped to boost the stock market by 200 points in early trading. The dollar is down 18 basis points and oil is up $2.86 at $52.24 a barrel. Obviously, oil is reacting to the expectations of declining purchasing power of the dollar and rising inflation. I say this because oil inventories have continued to increase with a substantial amount of excess inventory available for the market. Nevertheless, prices are rising. That suggests that the key factor driving oil is the expectation of a weaker dollar.
Over time, it would appear that the tremendous expansion of the money supply and the various bailout programs that are in the trillions of dollars will sooner or later ignite some inflation. Many of the things the Fed is doing, the assets it is buying, are long-term assets. It will not be able to unwind those assets in a short period of time. Therefore, the ability to contain inflation is limited. Once inflation begins to spark up, it should rise aggressively. I think most people believe inflation rates of 10% to 12% are well within the bounds of reason. Inflation at 10% would likely take gold to above $2,000 an ounce. That is why we have analysts such as Rob McEwen, David Rosenberg and Michael Jalonen of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and many others forecasting gold to rise aggressively over the next two years. Today, Fortis Bank forecast gold at $1,200 in 12 months. This is a conservative Dutch Bank.
Jobless claims fell 20,000 in the previous week to 654,000. Economists expected a loss of 9,000. However, the prior week was revised to a higher unemployment rate, with 674,000 jobs lost versus the reported 669,000. This implies that the unemployment rate after the end of this month will likely be in excess of 8.5%. Some analysts believe it will rise to as much as 8.9%. The Fed says unemployment will rise steeply into next year. In that environment the government will continue to make aggressive efforts to try to stimulate the economy.
Clearly, these are all factors that suggest gold should be accumulated at these bargain basement levels. While gold could be vulnerable to a further correction, some think that may be running its course, as gold is heavily oversold. Consequently, gold could make a substantial move to the upside rapidly. Utilize today's dip to acquire precious metal assets. Gold and silver are both at bargain basement levels.

You should review Goldine's Account Agreement along with our risk disclosure booklet, Coin Facts for Investors and Collectors to Consider ®, prior to making your purchase. Goldline has a spread or price difference between our selling price, called the "ask", and our buy-back price, called the "bid". That spread varies depending on coin or bar you acquire. Spreads on 1 oz bullion coins, 90% silver dimes and quarters, and one ounce and larger bullion bars are 13%. All other coins have a spread of 28%. There is also a 1% liquidation fee when you sell your coins back to Goldline. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. Precious metals and rare coins can increase or decrease in value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Coins are a long-term, three- to five-year, preferably five- to ten-year investment. We believe precious metals are suitable for 5% to 20% of the average investment portfolio though others may recommend a different percentage.
