			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inflation can be a pushing up daisies even if the government pumps boatloads of money into a sagging economy if and only if, the velocity of money is also passive and unmoving. Velocity of money is the frequency with which a dollar is spent for a certain amount of money over a given period of time.</p>
<p>There is no money to balloon and expand if the &#8221;velocity of money&#8221; is at a standoff. Even if Wall Street loses trillions of dollars and the government wantonly prints money to finance ill-conceived lobbyist paybacks, inflation will not occur until the velocity of money moves again.</p>
<p>A prevailing theory of economics is that one can get the economy going by spending yourself into a deficit. But, stimulating the economy will not work if it&#8217;s modus operandi is in the hole liability. A country or a household cannot spend its way out of in the red obligations; in fact, the risk profile begins to take on the appearance of some large Ponzi game plan.</p>
<p>The velocity of money situation cannot be improved by printing money. People will only hold on to their savings and not buying as much because they are worried about the future. When they are shaken, people generally become more conservative in their buying habits until their fears are appeased.</p>
<p>Money is a benchmark of exchange created out of savings. In a barter economy, it would be difficult to exchange unequal units of production without a benchmark of exchange. Therefore a stable supply of money was created. If the velocity of money stayed the same and the money supply increased, inflation would bring the equation into balance again.</p>
<p>If the government has created a deficit crisis, until it is looking like it can be paid off, international confidence and consumer morale in the dollar will flounder. A all-time low base will be reached even in a huge economic crisis. When all is said and done, the economy will eventually flow again normally and the velocity of money will move in like manner.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the government has greatly inflated the amount of money it generates. When the economy eventually takes off and the velocity of money improves, so inflation will also. As consumer confidence increases and all the extra printed money follows after a set number of services and goods, inflation will surge correspondingly.</p>
<p>So, the question is: when will you realize that confidence and money velocity increases are taking place? Read the Wall Street Journal and alternative newspapers and sources recognized for their financial sections and check the Consumer Confidence Index&#8217;s numbers. These numbers are known as &#8221;leading indicators&#8221; and communicate economic trends well before they are observed by hard data.</p>
<p>The other foremost financial indicators that show change earlier than the economy changes are: the Producer Price Index (PPI), Employment Indicators, Retail Sales Index, the National Association of Purchasing Management Index (NAPM), Curable Goods Order report, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reports, Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports, Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the Productivity Report which measures how much turnout is created by a unit of labor.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The silver price will explode in the coming years, and if you are not positioned you will lose out big time. The demand for silver is soaring, and China recently announced the legal ownership of silver to its citizens. Countries, industry, and investors are starting to put an increased strain on the already strained silver market. </p>
<p>Silver plays the role as not just a monetary metal, but also functions as an industrial metal. Many applications are consuming massive amounts of silver in industry today. Electronics, batteries, water filters, solar panels, medical equipment, and much more are using silver at shocking rates and each application it is used in is not recoverable. All of the silver consumed in industry is thrown away in landfills, not recycled like gold. </p>
<p>The strong demand coming from investors seeking a safe haven is pushing the silver price higher. Silver has been way undervalued for a long time due to suppression tactics by our government, and public unawareness that silver is quality money. People are quickly becoming aware that our dollar is falling fast, and that they need to hedge against inflation with silver coins, silver bars, silver bullion, and silver shares. </p>
<p>For your own safety and the safety of those around you, spread the word to investors who are seeking shelter for their dollars. Staying in dollars right now will kill your financial dreams. If you are in stocks, bonds, cash value policies, or anything denominated in U.S. dollars, you must get your money into silver and gold.</p>
<p>Silver has a long, long, long way to go to reach its historic ratio to the price of gold, which is 15:1. It has historically taken 15 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold, and right now that ratio has been floating between 60-70. The gold/silver ratio is way out of wack due to government manipulation of the silver market.</p>
<p>The price of silver is held down by manipulation on the COMEX. JP Morgan and HSBC are the major short sellers of silver, and they are illegally over their position limits by thousands of contracts. The short sellers are illegally controlling the price, but the physical demand surfacing will soon end any price manipulation, and the price of silver will go bananas when that happens. </p>
<p>The banks that are shorting the COMEX silver contracts are shorting massive amounts of silver, and they are way over their contract limits, illegally. When they flood the market with the massive amounts of silver they are being allowed to short sell, the price must go down to find buyers to fill the orders. This is how they have been manipulating the silver market.</p>
<p>These banks continue their illegal activities, even though they are way over their allowable position limits. The manipulation I am talking about will come to an end, investors in silver must be patient though. The COMEX has gotten close to defaulting on physical deliveries, and word of cash settlements and ETF shares instead of physical gold have been surfacing.</p>
<p>The market for silver is miniscule compared to any other market. When investors catch on to the fake stock market rally and start looking for quality, it may be too late. The small size of the silver market will allow for massive profits, but you must be positioned now to take advantage of this bull market. Protect yourself, your family, and your friends by buying silver. You will thank yourself for that. </p>
<p>God bless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do not wait for a pullback to buy gold! Every investor needs to know that gold is a hedge against inflation. The movements in the gold market have been monumental, and there are several reasons for that. </p>
<p>For one, the official inflation rate is about 10%, and investors are getting out of dollars and into gold coins, gold bars, and gold bullion as a hedge against inflation. Buy gold bullion, gold ingots, and gold bullion coins to protect yourself during inflation.</p>
<p>The gold demand is rising steadily with no end in sight. Investors looking to put their money into hard assets increased the demand for gold in 2008 by 64 percent. Countries who have added to their gold piles include Russia, India, China, and others. The IMF recently made a sale of 200 tons of gold to India. </p>
<p>The amount of gold per capita on the planet is currently 23 grams. That does not even amount to a one ounce coin. The available mined gold on the planet amounts to about $3.7 trillion. </p>
<p>The amount of gold above ground is&#8211;0,000 tons and that number goes up by 2,600 tons every year. With this 2% increase each year, it doesnt scratch the surface of demand placed on the yellow metal. </p>
<p>The demand for gold each year is about 4,000 tons, so the mines are coming up short by about 1,400 tons. Until the recent gold price highs, gold has been selling for around the cost of production. </p>
<p>The gold and silver mine supplies have plummeted by 10% due to the low prices. If you add up all of the fundamentals, gold should be much, much higher.  </p>
<p>Why has the price manipulation occurred? There are several factors. Central banks have attempted to suppress the price by selling gold bars onto the market. This tactic did work, but the banks are running out of gold to use as a suppression tactic. </p>
<p>The answer is that there are a few factors that have caused this price suppression and they are still to blame. The central banks have been selling their gold supplies onto the open market in an attempt to suppress the price. It has worked, but central banks are running out of gold to sell.</p>
<p>Even though you can request physical delivery of the gold bullion on the COMEX, some investors have complained of receiving cash settlements or ETF shares instead. The COMEX does not have the gold they claim to have.  </p>
<p>The way the default happens is that the COMEX will either give a cash settlement upon delivery, or shares of the GLD (exchange traded fund). Either way, you do not own the physical gold, which means that you are still holding paper. These paper investments have kept investors in dollars, which has fraudulently propped up the dollar. </p>
<p>This paper gold market is a bubble waiting to burst. Steer clear of these investments if you can help it. Keep your money safe by buying American Gold Eagle Coins, American Gold Coins, and gold bars. </p>
<p>You have every reason to buy gold now due to the falling dollar. Just look at the gold price in the past month. The price of gold per ounce one month ago was $1,058/oz, and the current price of gold is at $1,140/oz. Smart investors are going crazy for gold coins because gold is the only safe investment right now. Educate yourself about the benefits of investing in gold and how to buy gold. You wont be sorry!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are trying to figure out how to buy gold or why you should buy gold, it is important to note several things. First, inflation is rearing its ugly head and governments won&#8217;t stop until the dollar is completely devalued. Second, we are in the midst of major bailouts, layoffs, Ponzi schemes, and sky high unemployment.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to be invested in gold right now. The gold price was at a low of $250/oz in 2001. The price of gold is over $1,100/ounce today. A one ounce gold coin has risen by over 400% in the last 8 years. Do you know of any other inflation proof investments that have experienced 400% returns? </p>
<p>Paper investments like stocks or bonds may have achieved the same returns, but the dollar has fallen sharply in value. The Dow Jones is proof that the dollar is crashing silently. When you price the Dow in gold rather than dollars it tells a different story. Gold&#8217;s price rises when the dollar falls in value. </p>
<p>You might be asking how the Dow could possibly be doing bad, but price it in gold and you will see. Even if the Dow got as high as 20,000 or higher, the value of your dollars would be crashing at a greater rate.  </p>
<p>The U.S. dollar index, which measures the value of the dollar against a basket of currencies, has fallen below 76. This is very bad business for those invested in dollars. Many expert economists believe that by next year the USDX will fall to 65, and the next year it will fall to 55. Many even believe it will go as low as 40.</p>
<p>There is only one safe haven in a real world scenario like this. Gold and silver are the only safe hedge against inflation. As we see some people naively sit by and expect the government to throw them a bailout, others are preparing, and they know that the dollar&#8217;s days as the world&#8217;s reserve currency are limited. </p>
<p>We are smack dab in the middle of the greatest bull market in history. Never before have there been so many fiat paper currencies in the world, while at the same time governments inflating all of them in the middle of an economic storm like we are seeing.</p>
<p>A $7,000 gold price is not out of the question over the next few years. Some economists believe it has to go this high to compensate for inflation. The dollar is only being propped up by our faith in it, and that is why our government doesn&#8217;t want you buying gold. </p>
<p>Inform yourself about gold bullion and silver bullion before the real rush comes into gold. If you cannot afford silver bars or gold bars, then look to buy American silver eagle coins or American gold eagle coins.</p>
<p>God bless.</p>
