PRECIOUS METALS BOUNCE BACK
Gold and silver both snapped back nicely, along with the platinum and palladium. Gold is up $12 in early trading and silver is up $.30. Both are up in reaction to a softer dollar, down 14 basis points at 75.90. Oil and equities also benefiting from the weaker dollar with oil up $.63 and the Dow up 97 points. There seems to be a pretty direct inverse relationship between most asset classes and the dollar. When the dollar is weaker,it seems to be beneficial to most categories.
The Dow Jones Wire Service reported that, "some traders used gold's recent price retreat as a bargain hunting opportunity, said George Gero V.P. with RBC Capital Markets." They also reported that another trader sited short covering early Thursday morning. The dollar weakened as Australia's unemployment rate improved and signs that central banks of New Zealand and Switzerland may begin to remove monetary stimulus by mid-2010.
However, moving into the end of the year, investors should expect greater volatility and view pullbacks as buying opportunities according to the analysis of many of the most prominent market forecasters. With the sovereign credit of many countries, including Spain, Greece and Dubai being downgraded, it is reasonable to assume that problems in the credit markets and banking sector may continue. Many investors accumulate gold for the safety it provides and as an alternative currency. This represents the big picture with the rating agencies also warning the UK and the United States that if we do not get our budget deficits and debt under control within the next couple of years, we will probably see a downgrade of the credit status of the U.S. and UK. That would have serious consequences and lead to a rapid loss of reserve currency status for the dollar. It would likely usher in some new currency, perhaps SDRs or some other form of money to be used for international settlement purposes. The Chinese currency could even begin to rise in that environment. Since the prospects for our congress to get control of budget deficits seems to be nearly nil, one would assume that the dollar will continue on a massive long-term downtrend as it has been for many years, and that will support the gold market which will probably rise to much higher levels according to many of the most prominent analysts.

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.
