MARKETS TRADE NEAR UNCHANGED
Gold started the day in positive territory, opening with a gain of about $3 before slipping back into the near unchanged levels. Silver, likewise trading at about unchanged. Oil is down $1 on a build in crude oil inventories around the globe. The dollar is trading at about unchanged and the Dow Industrials are up 45 points. Thus far it seems to be a fairly quiet and uneventful day. The markets are likely to trade near unchanged, but in thin market conditions for the metals you might see traders see how much strength there is at the $880 support level. Overall it is shaping up to be a day of light trading with the potential for some exaggeration in price movements in the metals. With the Dow rallying this morning, there seems to be less safe haven demand for gold and the dollar.
Yesterday, the Gold Fields Mineral Services report indicated that they expect gold to rise above $1,000 in the very near term and above $1,100 over the next several months. That is consistent with the forecasts of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and other analysts around the globe. They pointed out that central bank sales last year fell 49%. This year we are seeing a similar situation with central banks selling very little gold. In fact, last week the European central banks gold reserves rose 24.1 billion due to a revaluation of the reserves. Moreover, mine supply continues to decline. Last year, mine supply was down 3%. It is likely that mine supply will be down at least that much this year. Rob McEwen, an enormously successful gold miner, said gold will rise to $2,000 by the end of 2010 and to $5,000 by 2012 to 2014.
Looking at the supply/demand fundamentals, gold begins to look very attractive. It should be accumulated on this dip and correction as it remains in a major bull market. The Aden Sisters have commented that while gold remains in a declining cycle in the overall bull market, the upside potential is now looking even stronger. All economists are looking at the tremendous amount of money that has been created by the U.S. government and the Fed. The bailout programs totaling tens of trillions of dollars and the fact that the IMF says the banks still have $4 trillion in toxic assets on their books. All of these factors taken together suggest that in time we will see a very aggressive period of inflation. Economists echo this view as they forecast inflation rising significantly. For example, last week a highly regarded economist commented in the Wall Street Journal that he sees inflation rising to between 8% and 10% over the next three years. At 10% inflation rates, I suspect gold will be making new all time record highs. That is what happened the last time inflation reached those lofty levels.
In the April 13th issue of Forbes Magazine there is an article entitled "Prepare for Inflation." They ask the question, "So what should you do to protect your capital? Gold is an obvious answer …."; they also said, "The most important question is when inflation will begin. My guess is that the current deflation, driven by inventory liquidations, will be over by year-end. If inflation returns in 2010, as I expect, the time to buy defensive securities is not then but now. By the time inflation is here, it may be too late."
Another article from Yahoo Finance says, "Conventional wisdom tells us that gold is a good investment tool to hedge against inflation. The current market landscape is setting the stage for a shining moment for gold that could quite easily last several years. With our government flooding the economy with dollars, inflation is a near certainty … a close examination still reveals that gold could be the greatest beneficiary. Indeed, some big money players are piling in with the long-term view that gold could reach $2,000 an ounce or more in the next year or two."
Given analysis such as this from major publications, it seems wise to accumulate some gold in preparation for and protection from rising inflation pressures. By definition, inflation is the increase in money supply. That is occurring right now. The affects of that inflation are rising prices. That will take some time, perhaps the next year or two. Moreover, there is a clear potential for formal devaluation of the U.S. dollar. Forbes.com has published two articles discussing the need for formal devaluation of the dollar. If that were to occur, it would be a sudden and overnight event that you would not have time to prepare for. Therefore, investors need to have their gold diversification in place now. You should be accumulating gold or adding to your holdings at this time, while gold is in a correction and consolidation mode.

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.
