METALS SHOWING STRENGTH
The correction in precious metals continued today, with gold dipping below the $950 level. Silver also pulled back fairly aggressively as traders test support in both of these markets. However, in the first half hour of trading the metals recovered the early losses to trade near important support levels. Gold came from a low of $942.50 back to $950. Silver came back from $14.93 to $15.45. Consequently the metals are showing some strength in the face of another round of liquidation by funds. Most of this trading is purely technical in nature as support and resistance levels are being challenged. Some support is being seen from the fact that the dollar is down 34 basis points at 79.98. Support also comes from higher oil prices, with oil up $.95 at $72.27 a barrel.
Clearly, we are going to see inflation pressures emerging in the near term. The question is when will the economy recovery sufficiently for those pressures to emerge. It may take a year or two, however, many are prudently buying gold and silver in anticipation of that event. There is also a great deal of concern about the future of the dollar. Yesterday, Russia and Brazil announced that they are going to reduce their dollar reserves further. That is a negative event for the dollar. It more than likely confirms that all of the BRIC's nations are doing the same thing. Certainly they are collectively calling for a new global reserve currency. In addition, you have China now instituting trade with many of its trading partners in Chinese currency rather than dollars. All of that is negative for the dollar over the next several years.
The Wall Street Journal published an article yesterday, written by famous economist Arthur Laffer. The headline is "Get Ready For Inflation And Higher Interest Rates. The unprecedented expansion of the money supply could make the 70's look benign." In the article he said, "It's difficult to estimate the magnitude of the inflationary and interest rate consequences of the Fed's actions because, frankly, we haven't ever seen anything like this in the U.S. To date, what's happened is potentially far more inflationary than where the monetary policies of the 1970s when the prime interest rate peaked at 21.5% and inflation peaked in the low double digits. Gold went from $35 per ounce to $850 per ounce, and the dollar collapsed on the foreign exchanges. It wasn't a pretty picture."
If the gold market were to make a similar move from its $250 low, it would result in a gold price of $6,072. Whether this may occur or not is beside the point. The key issue is that with inflation rising gold is likely to make a substantial move to the upside. Moreover, with the dollar in serious trouble, we could see even more aggressive increases in the price of gold than might otherwise occur.

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.
