There has been a lot of confusion about when you should buy gold.

I hope this helps clear things up.

First, what are the reasons to buy gold?

There are only THREE reasons to buy gold.

Speculative:
In this case you are a “gambler” hoping to buy low, have the price go up, and sell high. If that is the case, now is not the time to buy. Gold is ALREADY at high levels and will not see a STRONG gain for many years.
Not the reason…

The BUNKER theory / survivalist:
This person has PANIC written all over them and thinks the US dollar will have no value. They think that we will be trading “goats for tires” and have a basement full of food. They believe that GOLD is the only real currency and must have some in case of collapse.
In fact, if this is your theory, silver is the better investment. Silver bullion coins are easy to carry, have relative market value ($20 vs. $500) and could easily be exchanged for products or services.
Not the right reason…

The dollar protector:

This is the smart person. The ONLY reason to buy gold and silver is to protect your dollars / wealth from shrinking. Let me put it in “layman terms”.

The smart person has $100,000 in cash in a bank account.
As long as there is no inflation or even deflation, your money is fine. (Leave it alone.)

Now when all this economic GLOOM starts to turn into POSITIVE news, the talk about gold and silver will go away. The price of gold will start to drop and drop heavy. People will start panic selling gold as the value drops,

This, my friends, is the time to BUY gold.

Gold will be dirt cheap, no more ads will be running on TV to buy or sell because the market for gold will crash.

However, what will happen over the next 18 – 36 months is rapid inflation.

When our economy starts to recover there will be a huge demand for products and services. Gas prices will hit over $5 a gallon. Inflation will take over in a VERY strong way. If you do nothing your $100,000 in cash will slowly start to fade in value. It will simply take MORE DOLLARS to by the same goods.

If you buy gold when it is cheap, just before inflation starts, your $100,000 will actually grow, and grow dramatically.

Deep into the inflation cycle gold will once again hit record levels, but these record levels could be 3 times what we are seeing now.

Remember the “golden rule”…

When there is fear or prices are dropping to new lows; that is the time to buy.
When prices are high, that is the time to sell.

Most investors get it totally backwards.
Now is the time to investing in stocks and your 401k.

The market is DOWN, so you buy.
When the market goes up you sell, and buy gold as it will be low.

Simple rules that will make millionaires over the next few years.
