China in geographic terms is a continental giant at 9,596,961 km (3,705,406 sq miles) making it the 3rd largest nation in the world. It stretches some 5,026 km (3,123 miles) across the East […]

Foreign investments in emerging markets or in fully industrialized nations becomes more challenging as the world sinks further and further into debt. World governmental debt now stands close to 60 trillion dollars and is rising rapidly. Unfunded liabilities reach into the quadrillions.

There are three main reasons why an investment in gold and silver would make sense at this time. The first reason to invest would be the coming inflation that will be caused by the decline in the value of the American dollar. As the worlds only reserve currency many commodities especially the all important oil market is factored in U.S. dollars. As the dollar becomes inflated the price of commodities internationally will need to increase just to stay even in actual value. Gold […]

Part 2 Inflation How will investors deal with the surge in inflation that will arrive in 2014 and 2015? Don’t believe the government statistics in the United States and in many other countries around the world. As with unemployment that are deliberately misleading.

Many investors believe this is how business is done in just a small number of countries like Argentina, […]

Ingots are cast of pure bullion of a convenient size and shape. Coins on the other hand have a currency value and can have added worth based on where and when the coin was produced. I […]

It has become the new “sick man of Europe”. The economy of France has according to a British cabinet minister been “run into the sand”. France fell into recession in the last quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013. By April 2013 a record number of job seekers were registered. […]
