METALS REMAIN STEADY
Gold is slightly lower along with silver as the dollar, although weaker has recovered from earlier lows. Gold is down $1 and silver is down $.07 in early trading. The principle factor influencing the metals is the fact that oil is down $1 at $70.43 a barrel. The Dow Industrials are also lower, down 43 points. Volume in the equity market has been extremely low. Stocks have been churning back and forth, but on low volume. Some wonder whether the equity rally can continue or whether there will be another correction in that market based on seasonalities. September and October are often the worst months of the year for equities. On the other hand, September, October and November are among the best months of the year for gold and silver on a traditional basis.
There are many reasons why Barclay's Bank analysts are forecasting that gold will rise above $1,033 an ounce in September. Merrill Lynch, Standard Chartered Bank, Fortis Bank and many others are forecasting gold above $1,000 as well. Most of these forecasts center around the expectation that the dollar must weaken overtime due to the inflationary impact of the enormous stimulus that has been pushed into the economy by the Federal Reserve and the Federal government. In addition, there is an enormous amount of concern over a huge build-up of debt by our Federal and State governments. Senator Grassley has warned in the past few days that unless the Fed starts draining liquidity from the system, inflation will rise to hyper inflationary levels. Of course, that would be bullish for gold. If the Fed does pull back on the money supply and the Federal government tries to reduce spending, then the economy will collapse. There does not seem to be a rosy outlook at this point. Nevertheless, there is some good economic news as new claims for unemployment fell by 10,000 to 270,000.
Another positive factor for gold is that mining companies continue to reduce their forward sales in anticipation that prices for the metals are rising. GFMS reported that the global gold producers hedge book fell by 6.2% in the second quarter. This again, is a very bullish development, as is the fact that central banks have drastically reduced their sales and many central banks have become net buyers of gold. Consequently, the fundamentals of supply versus demand are becoming better, day-by-day. While some further downside could be possible, most of the analysts think a breakout on the upside will emerge within the next several weeks.
Consequently, gold is in an excellent buying range at this time. It has been in a great buying range for the past several months.

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.
