Bullion Investors

A nother year is almost over. It’s been a rough ride for bullion the last few months. After hitting highs in silver and gold, the shine has come off for sure. For a lot of bullion investors the end is near or has already happened, A lot of tossed in towel and gave up. Cashed in the silver and gold. For others though, it is only just begun.

Our prediction for gold for 2012 is $2500 US and for silver, $55.00 US.  I know, gold has to go up almost $900 from where it is right now but just remember that it went up $900 dollars from 2009 to hit $1,900 this year. That is like a 100% climb in price. This time around it will only about 60% climb.

Silver prices should stabilize somewhat after the new year. I was reading about the huge short in physical silver. The SLV which is a silver ETF is short something like 20 MILLION ounces of silver that it needs to back up the fund. With prices right now under $30 bucks an ounce, we are buying. We’ll see you all at $55.00 sometime later in the next several months.

We will also see you next year. That is just a few days away now.
All the best in the new year.

Aside from investing in just gold or silver bullion, many investors are looking at investing in where the bullion comes from. A lot of investors will go to the stock market and buy stock in silver or gold mining companies but with all the hoopla going on with “Occupy Wall Street” and the general resentment towards banks and brokers, there is getting to be a noticeable movement or shall I say “Interest” in gold mining claims.

Over at www.juniorminers.com which we also run, we have seen a huge new interest in mining claims. People are really interested in buying mining claims or at least learning how to stake a claim and are looking at the prospect of getting their own gold.

We have always maintained that it is better to buy a gold mine than just buying the gold. It is akin to “Teach a man to fish and he will feed a city” Gold mining is a recession proof business. If the ground has gold, you are in the drivers seat. After all “He who has the gold, makes the rules”.

American Eagle silver rounds. Beautiful coins they are. They seem to be in demand too. So much that so that our Silver Snowball club can’t buy any more for it’s members. Our silver marketing club has been going since November 2007 and now we find out that the US mint has trouble getting silver so production of the Silver Eagles has been cut way down.

So what is a club of around 4000 members so suppose to do? Well the owner at the top came up with a brilliant plan and that was to cut the price of our buy in each month and instead of 1 ounce Eagles, we are now getting Morgan Silver Rounds. Hey, it works for me and if you were a member you would most likely say that it works for you too. That is if you like silver.

Our New Coins

Sunday night here and I see silver is up well over $1.00 at $47.70. Just a hair away from $48.00. I think there will be a correction soon around $50.00. Actually I’m surprised there hasn’t been a pull back already. One of the reasons though could be that silver is heavily shorted and a lot of shorts are in huge trouble right now. In order to cover your short position you have to go into the market and buy up on the plus side. This of course adds fuel to the fire and the price continues going up. It’s about time that has happened. Us silver and gold longs deserve to see some nice rosey profits. After all, silver and gold are real money. Honest money!

If you are a bullion investor, then today was a great day. All the metals hit new highs today. With gold at $1476, silver at $40.97, palladium at $795 and platinum at $1809 it was a joyous day to be a metals bull. Lots to cheer about finally. I posted on a while back on our junior miners .com site just last week that there is a lot of speculation of gold $5,000 and silver beyond $150. When you really look at the numbers silver at $150 is not really that hard to reach given the state of the global money systems.

There are a lot of people out there that are totally unaware of what is happening in the metals right now and those people are loosing out on some really big potential profits. You don’t want to become one of those who is out of the loop so knowledge of day to day news in bullion is vital. For silver bullion information, keep up to date with the latest silver news in order to maintain your awareness as an investor.

Let’s see what next week has to offer all us gold and silver bugs here. Maybe some more upward movement in prices and maybe if we are really lucky a good jolt of short covering over at the Comex. What really need to happen is for more people asking for delivery of their metals instead of just rolling contracts over.

As the webmaster of www.juniorminers.com, I come across a lot of news releases about different companies exploring for minerals around the world. A person like to keep track of these so called “plays” because when the results are good the stock price can go up a lot and in turn make the trader / investor a lot of money.

Right now at this time Tanzania is one hot spot for gold explorers. Companies like Sidon, Curie Rose, Canaco are doing well and their stocks prices have risen from a few hundred percent to into the thousands of percentages. Canaco for instance has seen its share price go from around 40 cents to over $6.00 in the past 52 weeks. The problem is that with over 1600 junior mining companies out there, how do you know which one will be the next rising star? That is where the Midas Letter comes in. This news letter is like having your own research team hard at work. They are the ones who picked out Canaco last year at 40 cents and told their readers. Some of those readers are now millionairs. As the webmaster and founder of www.juniorminers.com I would be lost without them and highly recommend them to anyone who is interested making money during this metals bull market.

Right now is a great time to subscribe too because every subscriber will be entered into a draw fro $100,000 dollars worth of GOLD BULLION. Imagine 2011 and being $100,000 richer plus having that extra knowledge about who it might be that will be onto the next big find.

Merry Christmas to all and I wish all a prosperous new year.

Today in the trading markets we see a lot of ETF’s, otherwise known as Exchange Traded Funds. These funds are run by groups of big money funds and they can be categorized into many different types. In the metals such as gold and silver there a few different ETFs. GLD being one of the more prominant one for gold and SLV being the one for silver.

These funds attract a lot of money. That money is other peoples money, from pension funds to institutional money to retailer money to who knows where money. Then this money is used to buy gold bullion or silver bullion. Some of these funds have a lot of bullion. Or at least that is what they say. And this is where the “What they say” vs. “What they really got” come into play.

Personally with all the issues with banks in the last few years like being bailed out, loosing money etc. I have a bit of trouble wanting to invest with them. It is kind of like GM being in business for over 100 years and all of a sudden they are broke? I am sorry but I just don’t like that picture so this is where the physical comes in.

When you buy bullion as an investment you can buy the paper bullion as in certificates or you can buy the real thing. The real stuff. The hold it in your hand, stick it in your pocket, hide it under the bed kind of bullion. That is the kind of bullion I like. One ounce at a time.

Great day for gold and the rest of the metals. The yellow metal tagged $1400 US today. An all new all time high. Silver is knocking on the $27 door and palladium is just under the $700 mark. Palladium coins are a great way to buy palladium. Canada has a palladium coin but they can sometimes be in short supply. Unlike Maple leafs in the silver metal these coins can be a bit more rare.

Palladium $50 Coin

When investing in metals we often look at some of the miners themselves. Those are the ones we call the junior miners. There are over 1600 junior miners out in the world prospecting and searching for these metals along with others. Some of these miners can get you dynamic returns on your investment.

Today we saw an all new high for gold of $1380 + and silver is now well over the $26 mark.

Another metal, palladium saw a new high also for the year. This metal was in the low $600′s at the start of the week and is now up some $60 or so.

Crude oil is also up as is copper. You just can’t keep printing funny money and get away with it. sooner or later the chickens come home to roost.

Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Anyone who has been active in looking for ways to get silver has no doubt come across the Silver Snowball Program. I was fortunate to have come across the program right when it got going. That was back in 2007. I became affiliate number 45. That was in December of 2007. The Silver Snowball Program was set up by Ed Freeman and is still run by him today. The membership has grown from my #45 to way over 3000 now. I am not really sure how many folks are enrolled at this moment but it is in the thousands.

American Silver Eagles

The program work like an MLM. Each month we members buy an ounce of silver and then tell others about the program. Once they join and buy silver we get silver rewarded back. If a member buys an ounce of silver one month you get half and ounce. If you have have six members each buying an ounce you would get three free ounces. Although it does cost more to buy each ounce of silver you can see that if you were to put in some effort and get others to join you can see how the price of your silver would go down. Buy and ounce and get three free ounces for example with just six members. It’s not that hard to do as some members are getting silver for about $1 an ounce they have so many under them.

The Silver Snowball Program also does one thing for small time investors. Being a small time investor it allows you a simple and effective way to accumlate silver. Kind of like being on a book of the month club this is like a “Silver Coin of the Month Club”.
