Reasons to Own The Gold

---

The cornerstone for a successful investment portfolio is diversification. For a rock-solid foundation hard assets are essential. 

GOLD has been used for a medium of exchange for over 5000 years. GOLD is bought and sold around the clock; around the world. GOLD is universally accepted as alternate money thus making liquidation effortless. 

GOLD has been an extraordinary store of wealth. GOLD has protected many families from the declining purchasing power of the U.S. dollar which is due to our gargantuan National Debt and astronomical trade deficits. GOLD should be considered to preserve your family’s wealth. 

GOLD can help your family through man-made or natural disasters. Please call BCC Precious Metals and allow our experienced management team to tailor a hard-asset portfolio that best services your family’s needs. 

We are in the first stage of what many believe will be the most stupendous Bull Market in numismatic history. Significant factors driving the current Bull Run should once again create new historic highs for coins. 

Does your current investment portfolio include hard assets? If so, are your precious metals positioned properly to maximize profits as well as protect your wealth? 

A well-documented fact is that all markets are cyclical. The previous numismatic Bull Markets were all accompanied by triple digit gains. 

Historically GOLD, in particular, has been the most stable investment. It's value has never changed. A one-ounce GOLD coin will buy the same amount of groceries today as it did ten years ago, twenty years ago, fifty, a hundred, a thousand years ago. The correct determination of the value of precious metals is not how many Federal Reserve Note 'Dollars' it is trading for on the world market. The right value should be what other items of tangible worth can you buy with it. When financial brokers try to compare the value of GOLD with worthless paper, the 'Sophisticated' investor might be fooled but even a child can tell that the King has no crown! Many smart investors put a minimum of 10% to 15% of their investments in precious metals, and those who are concerned about an impending economic collapse will invest considerably more.

There is an endless discussion regarding officially re- linking the dollar to gold in some manner, but in fact gold is de facto tied to the dollar and has been since the birth of the nation. Each time that gold is purchased, the price is different and reflects the current perceived change in the relationship between gold and the dollar.

In the current run up in the price of gold, it is time to reassess how gold really relates to the dollar. One has to remember that gold almost never changes in value. It is the dollar that revalues in relationship to gold. For example, in 1920 a good quality suit could be purchased for a $20 gold piece. A similar quality suit today can be purchased for the same amount of gold.

At the end of 1988. gold holdings on the part of central banks and governments amounted to 1.15 billion ounces or 35,741 tons - approximately 35% of all the gold that has ever been mined. Governments thus reflect, on a larger scale, the mentality of every other investor who purchases gold as a hedge against financial or political uncertainty. The question is how much gold does the government and the central banks still control, and how much gold should one add to their portfolio?
