GOLD TAKING A BREATHER
At the open, the stock market rallied but quickly gave up the gains to move back into negative territory. The dollar started weaker, but then turned around to move into positive territory putting pressure on the metals as well. Oil is up over $2 in early trading. Gold started out at unchanged levels, but quickly moved into negative territory giving up $8 in early trading, while silver held steady throughout the move. Gold seems to remain range bound at this point, but is holding above the $930 level. A close above $930 would be considered a positive for the market.
One analyst told the Dow Jones Wire Service that gold is simply taking a breather. He said, "People are just trying to take a break and want the market to calm down and consolidate after last weeks correction." The analyst also told Dow that any dips are likely to be bought. Most analysts believe this morning's correction is simply a little profit-taking and gold will continue to head higher over the near-term. Certainly on a long-term basis, there are a large number of analysts who think gold will make a substantial move to the upside. The head of Precious Metals Trading at Commerzbank said he expects gold to range trade between $935 and $940 on the very short-term.
It appears gold should be bought on this dip. Analyst Adrian Koh told Dow Jones Wire Service that gold is still bullish for the long-term despite the correction after hitting a high above $1,000 last month. Dow also reported that large investors have been buying gold, concerned that moves by governments to shovel money at problems could cripple leading currencies. The problems in Europe are growing worse. We see the European markets down and European banks falling again while U.S. banks seem to be firming. Dow Jones also said, "The recent purchases of gold by the hedge fund investors, some of whom have top records, suggest they are coming to share deep worries about the health of global economies and how continuing problems are being addressed." They also said, "Kyle Bass, who runs Hayman, a firm that earned millions of dollars betting against risky sub-prime home mortgages, is now buying gold. 'People will look to "old-fashioned" stores of value -- those which represented money long before green pieces of paper backed a promise existed," Mr. Bass recently told investors. Indeed, investors have already begun moving into precious metals and we expect this will continue." Dow Jones also said that some of those major players who are buying gold are expecting nations will default on their debt as they spend money to help stabilize their economies. The spending could lead to a burst of inflation, which could help gold rise.
Given the comments by major analysts throughout the world that they anticipate gold will continue to be an asset that is appropriate for investors portfolios, it would appear that gold is a buying opportunity at these 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.
