(NaturalNews) The only time down is up is when the price of goose feathers increases or when you're invested in gold! What if you could take a $20 bill and buy an ounce of gold - would you do it? Of course you would. Why? Because down would be up.
We used to buy our goods and services with items like a twenty dollar gold piece. At one time in our nation's history, you could buy a lot of stuff with an ounce of gold. In fact, you still can - around a thousand dollars worth of stuff. Why, you can even get a room at the Montage in Beverly Hills for that. And what about your twenty dollar tip to the concierge - did you ever get that look that says, "And that's it?"
Well, it's the same look most of us have at the check out when we see how much so little is. It's when down is up! Do you realize that a dollar is only worth 3 cents of its 1913 value? Where will this all end? Only history can give us any clue. Remember when Zimbabwe was printing $100,000 bills (check stats!) and when Venezuela simply added zeros to their paper money, and remember Argentina in the 1990s? If any of the smart Argentineans could rewrite the old song, it would be, "Don't weep for me Argentina, I've swapped all my pesos for gold." In fact, that was the only thing that allowed folks to survive the Weimar Republic of 1920s Germany, when hyperinflation suddenly destroyed the currency.
"Oh, that could never happen here!" That's what many people think. So, how much are you earning with your already-inflated dollars? Stocks, bonds, cash, real-estate? How did you do over the past ten years? If you were invested in the stock market - well, on the March 19th cover of Forbes Magazine, the headline reads "Billionaire Bust," with pictures of Bill Gates (down $18 billion) and Warren Buffet, one of the most savvy investors in the world (down $25 billion) and many others who aren't exactly in the poorhouse. What are your chances of holding on to what little you have left as more and more bailout money is required of you?
No country in the history of the world ever borrowed its way out of debt. Thus, a government must raise taxes and/or print more money. If that happens, then even poor people will live in million dollar shacks and drive $100,000 pieces of junk - those who have jobs, of course. Get this: 652,000 lost a job last week alone. And this is not the exception to the rule. The key to surviving the economic disaster is by studying history. When our GDP is made up of 70% spending by the government, and millions continue to lose jobs, you don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to figure out what to do!
If you had invested in gold since 2000 and NOT in the stock market, your gold would have beaten your stock investment by an incredible 520%! Gold has yet a long way to go on the upside and the Dow has a long way to go on the downside. This is when up is down and down is up. However, whatever the Dow gets to, gold will be trading one to one with it at the same time in the future. Consider in 1980, when gold hit $850 an ounce and the Dow Jones was trading at 850. If adjusted for inflation, the price of an ounce of gold should be $2200. Many experts believe that we'll see a $3000 Dow and $3000 gold, at the same time.
But if you take a 'wait and see' approach before getting yourself to safety - you'll be sorry. Why? Because even the U.S. government RAN OUT of one ounce gold blanks for Eagles. Supplies are in a critical shortage and premiums are continuing to rise, while global refiners running at maximum capacity struggle to keep up with demand. Gold is the only real money the world has ever known, and will continue to be a safe haven for us all.
