Unemployment Rate Reaches 9.5%



by Joe Battaglia
Posted: July 2, 2009

Gold and silver sold off heavily again today, in reaction to the strengthening dollar and falling oil prices.  Gold trading down $12 and silver is down $.38 in a thinly traded market.  Many of the traders have already taken off for the 4th of July holiday in New York.  This market is extremely thin, not just in the precious metals and other commodities, but also in the equity market.  Oil is down $2.47 at $66.84 a barrel.  The dollar is up 58 basis points at 80.21 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 152 points. 

The jobs data was the entire story this morning.  The economy lost far more jobs than had been anticipated and the unemployment rate jumped to 9.5%, which was worse than had been expected.  Employers cut 467,000 jobs in June, running the unemployment rate up to a 26-year high.  This tended to defuse some of the inflation fears, particularly as analysts expect unemployment to rise well above 10% by the middle of next year.  Since the beginning of December 2007, this economy has lost a net total of 6.5 million jobs and there are currently more than 14 million unemployed in this country.  The real unemployment rate was reported at 16.5%

As we come to the end of the week, gold remains in it's well established trading range between $920 and $950.  That makes it a rather non-descript day and that is what we might have expected given the fact that the long weekend is directly ahead of us.  As a consequence, I continue to hold the position, as do many analysts, that this is a buying zone, and investors should take advantage of the opportunity to acquire gold and silver at these bargain basement prices.  Support levels continue to hold, the market is consolidating and that is a good spot for investors to not only begin investments in precious metals, but to add to holdings if you have a need to do so. 

Call Goldline today for assistance in getting started at 1-877-341-2646.  You may also wish to ask them about their Price Guarantee Program, which helps protect investors from some risk of loss for a period of two weeks.  In addition you may wish to ask for the free information package, which contains excellent information that will be helpful to all investors and in fact to all citizens as our country is headed down a dismal path as a result of wildly, out of control spending and deficits at every level of government and private sector.  As an investor we need to not look at just what is happening on a day-by-day basis, but rather at the big picture.  We need to project forward and anticipate what the affects will be of the wild deficit spending that we are seeing and the massive increase in debt.  Analysts are consistently saying that this will ultimately cause the dollar to fall aggressively.  Some are worried about an all out dollar crash that could implode our economy.  These are not things to be taken lightly.  That is why everyone needs to learn more about this and learn about insuring your savings against these kinds of potential catastrophes.  To learn more and to receive the free information package, call Goldline 1-877-341-2646.

 Investors should ask Goldline to explain the features, benefits and cost structure of the various gold and silver investments that are available to you.  Select those that best meet your own personal and individual investing needs and objectives.  Investors looking for low transaction costs may wish to consider bullion assets such as American Eagles, Swiss 20 Francs, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, Silver Bags or Silver Bars.  However, the Price Guarantee Program is not available with these assets.

If you would like to take advantage of the Price Guarantee Program, which provides you with a two-week window of opportunity in which to re-price your order in the event of a correction, you must select assets with some collectible value such as 20 Francs, Double Eagles and Silver Dollars.  Call Goldline at 1-877-341-2646 for further information on the Price Guarantee Program.

To receive the free information package including articles on the dollar, the economy and gold call Goldline at 1-877-341-2646. Goldline also provides several other helpful articles.  There are a number of other independent third party source articles that you will find extremely helpful and informative.  You will also receive the Client Account Agreement, a company brochure and a Coin Facts Risk Disclosure Booklet, read these carefully before you make an investment.  Call Goldline at 1-877-341-2646 now to receive your free information package.

 

You should carefully read Goldline's Account and Storage Agreement and our risk disclosure booklet, Coin Facts for Investors and Collectors to Consider. These provide important information that you should consider before investing in precious metals. Goldline's spread, which is the difference between the price we sell our products and the price we buy them back, generally ranges between 5% to 20% on our most common bullion products and 30% to 35% on all other products including our popular semi-numismatic coins such as the European francs, proof coins and graded coins. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. All markets go up and down. 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 portfolio though others may recommend a different percentage. Please see Goldline's risk disclosure materials for additional information.
