The Austin Report

2011 Silver Profit Report

In July of 2008, we published an exclusive Austin Report strongly recommending Silver as the next hot investment. Inside that report, we stated The price rise from $4.06 in 2001 to todays price of $13.48 (in mid 2008) reflects that industries are willing to pay ever higher Silver prices to manufacture their products. Any event could trigger a sharp rise in silver prices. Just the fear of a currency crisis (and not a crisis itself) is all it would take to repeat windfall Silver profits like those we saw in the 1970s when Silver peaked at $50 per oz. Like many of our forecasts for Gold, our advice on Silver proved hugely profitable as Silver is trading today over $35.00 an ounce after prices tripled in less than five years in a wild and crazy bull market for precious metals. In April 2011, Silver hit a 30 year all-time high of $48.70 an ounce. While many missed the early gains, you dont want to wait any longer to get in on the stages of the Silver Bull Market. Historically, the second and third stages are the most profitable in a runaway Bull Market.

Silver Profits Ahead - Important to Buy Now

In our opinion, its not too late to defend yourself against the coming years of inflation by acquiring Silver. Experts continue to argue the advantages of holding at least a small portion of your money in real, Silver Coins. The reasons remain grounded in the short supply scenario driven by rising demand from both industrial users and investors locking in precious metals ahead of imminent inflation.
Key Reasons to Buy Silver Now

1. Record Silver Buying from China In 2010, the Chinese imported a record 3,475,394 kilos of Silver. This was a massive four-fold increase from 2009 and may continue to increase in 2011. 2. Investors Still Willing to Buy Over $40 China imported 245.6 metric tons of silver in February of 2011. The figure is close to the 260.6 metric tons imported in February 2010 and suggests the Chinese are more than willing to buy silver at over $40 per ounce. This demand is likely from the private sector rather than official. 3. Asians Understand Hyperinflation Buying Silver The Chinese experienced the collapse of their paper currency and hyperinflation as recently as 1949. They understand and appreciate the unique value of hard assets like Silver (and Gold) as currencies which cannot be debased by an out of control Government. 4. Silver is Money to Americans Too In uncertain times like these, Americans trust Silver as a form of inflation-proof money. Silver was used in the first Silver Dollar the U.S. Mint issued in 1794 up until the last Silver Coins were removed from circulation in 1964. Older Americans especially can relate to Silver as money, as real, tangible; physical wealth. 5. Silver Unbeatable as Crisis Money A core holding of physical Silver is often recommended as money that should be kept accessible at all times in a crisis. Silver money you can spend on day-to-day necessities if the ATMs are closed and no one will accept paper money. By comparison, Gold in a crisis would be priced too high for daily use as money, but Silver would retain its spending money status.

6. Silver Has Been More Profitable Than Gold Silver has outperformed gold since 2001, increasing in value 961% versus 468% for Gold. Both are increasing in value for many of the same reasons. 7. Potential Currency Crisis Brewing The U.S. Dollar has lost 96% of its value since 1913. Today the U.S. Dollar is falling in value and at risk of a crisis this year or in 2012. The fear of a currency crisis alone has been enough to drive up investor Silver demand worldwide amidst turmoil for both the Dollar and Euro. 8. Industrial Silver Demand Growing Again In its industrial consumption role, silver demand has been so strong for the past 60 years that it has depleted inventories that took hundreds of years to accumulate. Silver is used in Industrial applications, photography, jewelry, and silverware. Surprising, innovative uses for Silver virtually guarantee a higher future demand for years to come. Silver is often consumed in new technologies like smart cell phones, iPads, refrigerators, water purification, lubrication of jet engines, and numerous medical uses. 9. Silver in Deficit Supply Silver is in short supply. Not enough Silver has been mined in the past 17 years to meet growing industrial demand. Above-ground Government stockpiles once filled that demand but are now becoming exhausted. In 1959, the U.S. Treasury held two billion ounces of Silver. Today, it owns no Silver at all. The U.S. Mint has been purchasing all of the new Silver supply from U.S. mining efforts and been forced to import additional Silver to make coins. Because industrial nations no longer stockpile Silver, there is little overhanging Silver supplies currently holding down Gold prices. 10. Investor Demand Has Triggered a Silver Rush As we predicted in 2008, word spread of the shortfall of Silver. Investors rushed in bidding up Silver prices more than 80% in 2010. Silver today is a very small investment market. A relatively small influx of new investors has doubled the demand and driven up Silver prices 261% since our 2008 Silver recommendation. 11. Physical Silver is in a Tight Market The Comex exchange buys, sells, and trades Silver as well as Silver futures contracts. In mid-February, Silver futures hit the first backwardation since 97-98. That means there are relatively few Silver owners that will part with their bullion while there appears to be an increasing amount of demand for bullion. Even a single buyer could step in and buy up the Silver Market. At $35 an ounce, all of the worlds above ground Silver Bullion supply is valued at a paltry $22.2 Billion. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, could buy all of the worlds supply of Silver Bullion and still have Billions leftover. 12. Silver As a Hedge We have inside information that several hedge funds stepped into the Silver Market prior to and during 2011. You might be surprised to learn that Austin Rare Coins & Bullion has several billionaire investors and investment managers as clients who are buying Silver Coins. We often share research and opinions with them. The word from these sources is that $50 Silver is a lock. While we cant guarantee their opinions (or ours), it is comforting to know that Silver at todays price levels still looks to be undervalued to many insiders. 13. Silver as The Ultimate Hedge Against Global Turmoil We dont know one single investor who is not worried about Government spending and debt. People know the Government will use inflation to pay for their spending binges. That has triggered a rapidly rising fear of inflation in recent months. There is no other driving force which can explain the upward trend in Silver. 14. Silver for Inflation Protection/Wealth Preservation In a world awash in fiat currencies, many investors have turned to Silver and Gold for protection. Based on our wide range of clients buying today from Austin Rare Coins & Bullion, were convinced Silver buyers today are focused on long-term preservation of buying power of their savings. The dollar value today of one ounce of Silver is not nearly as important as how many gallons of gas a one ounce American Eagle Silver Dollar will buy five years from now after inflation takes over the economy.
If You Dont Own Silver, Will You Live to Regret It?

Demand for Silver exceeds the available above ground supplies. Buyers are trading paper money for Silver money. As with Gold, Silver is an ideal hedge against inflation. Our Final Thoughts: If inflation hits the levels we expect, you should not be thinking of Silver as a way to get rich. Instead, think of it as a defensive investment. If gas is ten dollars a gallon and a Silver Eagle will buy ten gallons of gas, YOU WILL BEAT INFLATION! It wont really matter that Silver is $100 an ounce in inflated U.S. Dollars. Silver will have proved its value by preserving buying power. If a scenario anything like that comes true, well all wish we had bought a lot more Silver at todays prices.

Silvers Five Best-Kept Secrets for 2011

As we look forward to where Silver is headed in 2011, we continue to feel the coming years will mirror the bleak economic times of the 1970s. The 70s was a decade of back-to-back recessions, high unemployment, financial upheaval, rising oil prices, hyperinflation, huge Govt spending, and uncertainty for U.S. Stocks and Bonds. Back then, investors took the flight-to-safety into precious metals. Silver profited handsomely as prices roared from $1.29 in the mid-1960s to peak at $50.00 an oz. in 1980. Silver prices outperformed Gold across the decade and soared by 3,775%. Is History About to Repeat Itself? For many of the reasons well detail in this exclusive Austin Report, we believe Silver is poised to take off past the $50 high in 1980 and past the inflation-adjusted high of $132. Today, the U.S. economy is struggling out of a deep, prolonged recession. Unemployment is near 10%, over 149 U.S. banks collapsed in 2010, and 2.9 million households received a foreclosure filing. All of this is expected to increase during 2011. The too-big-to-fail Wall Street banks survived thanks to an injection of $700 Billion of taxpayer money. Massive government spending and money creation for bailouts has us convinced that Americans face years of inflation, possibly hyperinflation. Silver has multiplied in value nine times from 2001 and thats before we had even a hint of inflation. How to Survive a Stagnant Economy with Inflation We cannot over-emphasize to investors that the world economy has shrunk dramatically. The consumer driven U.S. must be reshaped and restructured. That will take time. To preserve wealth and thrive we must re-examine carefully the risks and rewards. In the coming decade of social and economic uncertainty, precious metals remain poised as top performers. During the 1970s, the secret to avoiding losses and prospering was to hoard away Gold and Silver Coins early before inflation hit. Today, that requires many of us to change our thinking and adapt to a new world of rising inflation, higher taxes, and government control.

The White Metal Determined to Outperform Gold in Todays Bull Market

One thing is certain, Washington will dictate the direction of stocks, bonds, real estate, and the U.S. Dollar for years to come as America has been forever changed. What You Must Know Now to Maximize Returns The last radical crisis of confidence was in the 1970s. Wealth moved from paper assets to hard money, from risk to safety. That created huge profit opportunities for those individuals willing to take a position in Gold and Silver. Inside our Austin Report, well share Silvers five best-kept secrets... and why Silver may outperform Gold. Whether or not youve profited from the rise so far, dont miss the next leg up in the booming Silver market. Silver could very well become one of the most profitable investments of the decade. We feel that Silver will continue to outperform Stocks, Bonds, and even Gold. When you look at the facts, Silver remains a bargain under $50 an ounce. April 2011, Silver hits a 30-year all time high at $48.70 an ounce. Silvers all-time high was $50 in 1980. The inflation-adjusted Silver high is over $132. Based on the historic relationship of Silver to Gold, Silver outperformed Gold in 2010. In 2010, Silver soared 80% while Gold increased 28%. Silver is up 161% over the past 12 months while Gold increased 31%. While we believe Silver and Gold will mutiply in value in the coming years, and at this moment in history, Silver may be the best buy you can find compared to any asset even Gold. The coming Double Profit opportunity is quite rare for precious metals. The sooner you discover the five secrets and buy Silver, the better off youll be. (Turn the page and read on)

Only Silver and Gold Are Real Money

Unique Advantages of Adding Silver to Your Gold Portfolio
There are Five Secrets very few people know that explain Silver prices are on the verge of a historic rise. As we reveal them one by one, well explain why we believe Silver is better to own today than any other asset class Stocks, Bonds, homes, real estate, or cash. Finally, well share why Silver will ultimately outperform Gold in the coming flight-to-safety.

Silver and Gold were money, are money today, and will be recognized as the only real money before the current banking crisis and economic collapse are over. Since the first U.S. coins were minted, our country used Silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, and dimes as circulating coinage real money avoided inflation, stabilized wages, and controlled prices. For convenience sake, Silver Certificates were issued and used in daily commerce. Gold Certificates were for large international trading transactions. By law, the declaration found on each Silver Certificate was a promise to pay in real money

Silver Secret #1

No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.
U.S. Constitution Defines Silver & Gold As Money

You may be surprised to learn the founding fathers were so concerned with creating a stable, reliable currency that they defined money in the U.S. Constitution. (see above.) They knew that Kings, Dictators, Presidents, or Congress would find it an irresistible temptation to print excess paper money and use inflation to transfer wealth from the citizens to the government.

Massive Silver Stockpiles Disappeared

Huge Demand, Short Supply Scenario Ahead
Sooner or later, millions of people will be buying Silver to avoid the inflationary death spiral. People will buy Gold first, then Silver is likely to see waves of buying. When that happens, there wont be enough Silver to meet the demand because the Silver has vanished. New uses continue to grow year by year, putting pressure on the tight supplies! New Silver uses have one thing in common: All of these new industrial applications consume millions of ounces of Silver each year that end up in a product or landfills and the Silver is gone forever. Newly Mined Silver Cant Meet Current Demand Since 2001, industrial uses for Silver rose a whopping 36%. While demand was rising, net Govt Silver sales plummeted 57% year over year in 2007 alone. With demand for Silver already 200 million ounces a year more than mines supply, any increase in investor demand will raise Silver prices. When demand soars and meets a limited supply, that creates the perfect scenario for increases in Silver prices. Silver Stockpiles Were Depleted by 2002 By 2002, the massive U.S. Silver stockpiles that once totaled six billion ounces were gone! The U.S. Mint was forced to go on the open market and bid-up prices for the 10 million ounces they needed to mint Silver Eagles. This was a huge problem. Without the U.S. supply, Global Silver mines alone were short some 200 million ounces needed each year to meet the on-going demand. This shortage was before investors started to dive into the Market! With Silver in short supply and demand rising, Silver prices increased seven times since 2001. Yet, its still not widely known Silver has outperformed U.S. Stocks and Bonds every year since 2001 and Gold in most years. Silver profits so far are just a hint of whats ahead. The Biggest Secret of All About Silver Our research into the Silver Market leads us to what may be the most powerful and unbelievable Silver Secret of them all one that may very well cause the price of Silver to explode overnight.

Silver Secret #2
The Massive U.S. Government stockpiles of six billion ounces of Silver were sold. Theyre gone forever and will not be available to fill the coming demand for Silver. Most of the stockpiles have been used up in industrial applications and are unrecoverable. Today, we love Silver just for the supply and demand fundamentals. At some point, inflation will rise quickly and unexpectedly as a result of printing paper money for bailouts. As the world supply of Silver left government stockpiles, it was manufactured into industrial devices and used up!

In fact, the Silver Institute reports, the total industrial demand alone for Silver gobbled up more than 40% of global supply.
Silver is a Must-Have Industrial Component

In recent years, Silver expanded beyond traditional uses in photography, jewelry, and coins where it could be recycled. It is now used in cell phones, iPods, iPads, portable devices, computers, televisions, electronic appliances and batteries. Today, only petroleum has more industrial uses than silver. Silver is also part of water purification devices and linings of refrigerators to keep food fresh. Silver is used in dentistry, medical apps, and Bandaids which are as effective as antibiotics. Yes, Silver has gone green and is found extensively in solar cells.
By 1968, Silver Certificates like this were replaced by Federal Reserve Notes, a fiat paper currency. Fiat means the Government just says its money and is no longer obligated to give the holder a Silver Dollar in exchange for this certificate. The Treasury Department then sold off the Silver that had once been the backbone of world currency.

Futures Market Manipulation

What is the Real Price of Silver?
Silver Secret #3
We discovered that the COMEX has, through options contracts, promised out over 650 million ounces of Silver when in reality, they only have approximately 105 million ounces in their vaults to physically deliver! Now is the time to buy Silver and secure your safety, before Silver prices rise higher. During the massive surge of fresh investment demand, the U.S. Mint was completely overwhelmed for months and unable to fill all the orders for Silver Eagles. As the Stock Market unraveled throughout the past two years, our phones were ringing off the wall. There was panic buying of Gold and Silver alike. No logic to it, no consideration of the facts, money was moving into physical Silver in a panic. Demand was unprecedented. Investors paid high premiums and we waited weeks for delivery of Silver bars, Silver coins, anything Silver. Now, lets consider what that means to us:

During the 2008 Silver shortage, the price of Silver on the futures market surprisingly fell from $20 to $10 per ounce in a matter of a few months. Yet, when the Silver price fell, demand exploded and supplies were nowhere to be found. This defies all logic of supply and demand and made us seriously question the overall integrity of futures pricing in the Silver market. What does this say about the futures price of Silver? What, then, is Silver really worth? Remember, a futures contract is a paper agreement between a buyer and a seller which expires on a specific date at a specific price. In most cases, at the expiration of a contract, the buyer doesnt actually take possession of the Silver, but liquidates or takes out another speculative contract. No metal trades hands. However, given the recent economic turbulence and lack of confidence, were seeing evidence of more and more sophisticated investors taking possession of their Silver at the expiration of their contracts. At some point, the COMEX could potentially run out of Silver they have promised to fulfill. Currently, Global ETF holdings are under $15 Billion. In the ocean of liquidity and fiat currency, this is a drop in the bucket. Consider this: One aggressive hedge fund or investor, if they so chose, could potentially corner the market! Silver Prices Could Turn Parabolic When inflation begins to take hold, we anticipate never before seen demand for physical Silver. Given the existing shortfall of supply and ever-growing pressure on physical stockpiles, we feel Silver prices can only go in one direction up. Theres the distinct likelihood of an absolute price explosion in Silver. Thats why we urge you to buy Silver now, before the breakout, and most importantly, before premiums begin to rise on world bullion coins. While theres always downside risk, Silver seems like a real bargain to us. Silver hit a 30-year all-time high of $48.70 an ounce in April 2011. Seeing this lets you in on another reason why Silver prices have increased nine times since 2001.

Silver Secret #4

The U.S. Mint could not produce enough finished Silver Bullion Coins meet the demand from investors.
Despite Silver prices falling on the futures market, no dealer in America could fill the rush of new demand for Silver Coins in the flight-to-safety. This was the first moment in history we can recall where there were no Silver Bars or Silver Coins anywhere, period. The stockpiles were gone and newly mined Silver simply could not arrive fast enough for the U.S. Mint to strike enough Silver Eagles to meet demand. Wealth is Money from Paper Assets to Hard Assets The most fascinating part of this story is that the demand for Silver Coins has been higher in the past year than it was back then. Wealth continues to flow from bad money to good money, from cash to Silver, from Stocks to Silver. This year, the supply of new American Eagles has barely kept up with the demand. At any time, the U.S. Mint can delay Silver Eagle production for 2011, due to diminishing supply. Well see what happens to physical prices then as we continue with the best kept secret of all...

Could Silver Really Be Rarer Than Gold?

This is the Ultimate Double-Profit Opportunity for Silver
Since 2001, precious metals have been in a roaring bull market! In search of value and opportunity, we began to recommend Silver as one of the most undervalued, overlooked ways to make money. Three years ago, the Austin Report warned readers of a coming Stock Market crash and possibility of an implosion of the worlds financial system in an article titled, The Coming Perfect Financial Storm. Back then, we knew more about the impending Sub-Prime mortgage debacle than most people know today. We warned of the growing risk in Stocks and that readers needed to insure against a Stock Market crash. We increased our recommendation for holding Gold and Silver from 10% to 20%. We also urged readers to acquire a larger core holding of Silver.

In the last nine years, Silver investors have really cleaned up with average annual gains of 52%, holding steady with Golds 42% rise.
Stock brokers and financial advisors could not understand how a nearly forgotten precious metal like Silver could outperform almost every other asset class. They dont understand that the supply fundamentals for Silver have changed dramatically! Silver prices took off in 2003 because the U.S. government vaults had run out of a cheap, readily available supply of Silver. Ultimately, that led us to the most important of all secrets about Silver.

Silver outperformed Gold in six of the last ten years. After Silvers 28% correction in 2008, prices soared 57% in 2009 and 80% in 2010.

Silver Secret #5

When we compare the readily available above-ground supplies, its obvious that Silver is rarer than Gold. We first found this hidden nugget tucked away in a boring 250 page Silver report. As we fact-checked this with other trusted sources, weve come to agree Silver today is rarer than available Gold!

When we discovered this fact, our first thought was Its critical to urge clients to put away more Silver now before the true rarity of Silver supplies becomes widely known. Were sure this could prove very valuable. Gold is Precious Because Its Rare Silver, like Gold, is valued as a rare, precious metal. If you stacked up all Gold mined in recorded history, you could fill up only one-third of the Washington monument. Gold is rare indeed. However, the research shows 95% of all Gold ever mined still exists today. Gold is never used up or destroyed. Silver is Different Unlike Gold that is saved, the vast majority of all government Silver is gone. After 1964, most Silver coins were also pulled from circulation around the globe. That left the world with huge Stockpiles of Silver. The idea that Silver might one day be rare was dismissed Silver coins were everywhere! In the 1970s, Washington got the bright idea to sell off the massive 3.5 billion ounce U.S. Silver hoard that had accumulated since 1859. Central Banks dumped massive Silver stockpiles over the next 40 years. This drove down prices so low it became unprofitable to keep primary Silver mines open. Why is Silver So Cheap? That leaves the world with the smallest above-ground supply of Silver in centuries (far less than avaialble Gold). Yet, Silver is trading under $40 an ounce while Gold commands an $1,500 - $1,541 price. By our analysis, the price of Silver could easily multiply by 3x, 5x, or even 10x todays price and still be a bargain.

Inflation and Hyperinflation Are Coming

Unstoppable Government Forces Are Stealing Our Wealth
Inflation is a destroyer of wealth, dreams, and retirement plans. As a gallon of gas has risen from $3.00 to $4.00, you can just feel the economy slowing down. As money manager Barry Ritholz computed for us, every penny rise in the price of gas pumps $1.5 Billion out of household cash flow. Sadly, rising gas prices are about to kill any hope of the U.S. recovery, if there was one. But rising gas prices at the pump are just the beginning of the inflation problem. The American economy runs on energy. High energy prices drive up home prices and halt automotive sales. The U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization reports food inflation is up for the seventh consecutive month. World food prices are up 3.4% from the month before hitting a level that was the highest in both real and nominal terms since they began keeping records. Meanwhile, the U.S. Government reported inflation for all of 2010 was only 1.8%. That official figure conveniently leaves out rising food, housing, and energy costs. Bernanke claims inflation is under control, but its not and he knows it. Along with steep increases in raw material costs, John Long, a retail strategist at Kurt Salmon, says labor costs in China and fuel costs for transportation are weighing heavily on retailers. He predicts prices will start increasing at all retailers in June. "Every single retailer has and is paying more for the items they sell, and retailers will be passing some of these costs along," Long says. "Except for fuel costs, U.S. consumers haven't seen much in the way of inflation for almost a decade, so a broad-based increase in prices will be unprecedented in recent memory." U.S. consumers face "serious" inflation in the months ahead for clothing, food and other products, the CEO of Wal-Mart, Bill Simon warned Inflation Causes Rioting Food inflation in the past year has driven millions to starvation, out into the streets across the Arab and Asian nations, causing riots like it did in 2008 in more than 30 countries. Revolutions across the globe are the end result of inflation created by the worlds central bankers which created the commodity inflation in the first place. U.S. backed dictators in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, and Yemen are in trouble. South Americas and Indias populations are rising against alleged government corruption. In America, a conservative movement labeled The Tea Party is likewise demanding that Washington stop the spending, stop the borrowing, and stop stealing the nations wealth through inflation. We have no one rioting in the streets, no lack of food in the stores, at least not yet. But many of us have growing concerns as to how the nation will ever get out of debt. . Inflation and Deflation Are Destroying America Surprisingly its a combination of deflation and inflation that are killing Americas future. Home prices are deflating, the number of working Americans are falling, wages are deflating, and our future hopes are fading fast. For those of us who have accumulated wealth and a retirement savings, the Federal Reserve has deflated what we are paid on interest.. We can remember earning 8-9% interest on our bank CDs. Today, we are being robbed as the Federal Reserve has deflated what we should earn on our money down to 1%, %, or less. The rule of sevens tells us that money earning 10% doubles every 7 years. Today, money earning 2% in a Government Bond or Bank CD will take 36 years to double. The Fed, in turn, has inflated the Stock Market, prices are rising. But what happens when the Ponzi scheme deflates the U.S. Stock Market again like it did in 2008? All the Government Trillion Dollar bailouts in the world will not be able to blow up the Stock bubble again. Meanwhile, they will try to use inflation to make Americans feel richer by keeping Stock prices as high as they can for as long as they can. Thanks to inflation, what your money can buy in the future will be falling faster than the Stock Market can rise. Are you prepared to exit bonds, get out of fixed income investments, and defend your life savings from Washingtons inflationary policies. If not, prepare to live a dramatically reduced lifestyle in the coming years. How Powerful is Inflation? Inflation is the most powerful political force in existence today. Inflation destroys the wealth of its citizens and transfers their buying power to the Central Government. Governments throughout history have created inflation so they might spend more than they take in from taxes.

Sadly, inflation strikes without obvious warning to most people who blindly listen to Governments fake inflation numbers. In certain historic situations, like we are in today, inflation can move higher and faster than most investors believe is possible. Once entrenched, its too late to take action. Throughout history, Kings, Rulers, and Governments have stolen the peoples wealth by creating fake money, pretend money, paper money stuff like you and I have in our pockets and wallets. The U.S. has had Greenbacks, Horseblankets, Confederate Dollars, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, and now the I.O.U. that calls itself a Federal Reserve Note. The Immediate Solution to the Inflation Crisis I dont want inflation to destroy your life savings or mine. Millions of Americans have wisely chosen to exit the Governments control of their money. They will simply deny Washington the opportunity to steal their wealth through inflation. In our opinion, real money, tangible money, sane money is the only way to defeat the Politicians who create paper money out of thin air. Gold and Silver Coins are the only alternative forms of money the only sound money guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. You and I both know that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is now in his second program of counterfeiting trillions of dollars out of thin air. He called his latest schemes QE2. Since when did the phrase Quantitative Easing come into existence? Mr. Bernanke, just be honest and admit that to keep up the outrageous levels of Government spending, you just printed up the money... trillions of new dollars. Theres a word for that inflation. Your actions have ignited a raging bull market in food and commodities driving up prices 28% in the past six months. More money floating around always makes things more expensive duh. But at some point, perhaps later this year or next, there may be so many U.S. Dollars floating around that people begin to realize that holding them or U.S. Government Bonds and Treasury Debt. That could unleash a wave of selling and drive the U.S. Dollars value into the dirt. Considering that for most of us our personal wellbeing is closely tied to the prosperity of the United States, we would all be losers. A crashing Currency Market will take the Bond Market and Stock Markets down with it. That is biggest risk inflation poses the world losing confidence in the U.S. Dollars, foreigners withdrawing money from our markets, the rest of the world refusing to loan us money, and Americans taken to the cleaners once again by Wall Street and Washington. We could be wrong. Maybe gas prices will start falling. Politicians could roll back Government spending to PreObama levels. The economy could take off. There could be a worldwide flight-to-safety into the Dollar, driving up the price. The NASDAQ stocks could double in price this year and return to the historic level they were in 2,000 of 5,048. The 6.9 million empty homes currently in foreclosure could suddenly find qualified buyers creating a wave of new home building and buying. Millions of Americans could go back to work and banks could start paying us 6% interest next week. However, I could not find one Government official, one member of Congress, one Wall Street analyst, or even a wildly neurotic blogger who optimistically believed Americas problems could be easily fixed. The Great Depression of the 1930s is one of the few guides we have to accessing what really happens to a free market after it crashes completely. In fact, from the Stock Market Crash of October 1929, it took until the 1940s when nations increased their production of war materials at the start of World War II for the economy to recover. You, as an affluent American, are in a position to deny U.S. policy makers, politicians, and the Federal Reserve the right to control all of your hard earned savings. You have the legal right to acquire assets, detailed in the U.S. Constitution as the only money Gold and Silver Coins. Its perfectly legal to buy Gold and Silver. Its legal to own both in your private possession. You can keep them in a bank safety deposit box, at home, or buried in the back yard in a Mason jar. Maybe you will never need to use this emergency stash of real, honest, tangible, Gold Coins and Silver Dollars. More likely, this form of wealth will grow in value as the inflation scenario unfolds over the decade. The U.S. Dollars will be replaced by one with lots of zeros on the end. The time is at hand to defend your portfolio from the coming years of inflation that threaten to destroy the buying power of the American Dollar.

Get Ready for Silver to Get Even!

For decades, newly mined Silver was promptly used in photography, jewelry, silverware, and industrial processes. The freshly mined Silver was not enough to meet the growing demand and up to 200 million ounces a year came from the stockpiles mined over the past 2,400 years. In the 1990s, Charles River Associates estimated Silver mining for all of recorded history yielded 38 billion ounces. That sounds like a lot. But only about one billion ounces remain in above ground supplies and that Silver is disappearing quickly! There are some 4 billion ounces of Gold in existence today as 95% of all the Gold ever mined in the history of mankind still exists. Very little Gold has been lost or used up. Today, theres a four times larger supply of Gold than Silver. Most of that Gold is locked up in Central Banks to stabilize currency. Demand is Overwhelming Silver Supplies With a limited and diminishing supply of Silver, demand for Silver continues to grow. The world now consumes about 1.7 ounces of Silver for every ounce of Silver mined. Since Silver peaked at $50 in 1980, 2 billion more consumers have arrived, mostly in China and India. In 2007, investors accounted for a mere 6% of the demand on the Silver supply. After the Stock Market Crash, Silver demand from investors began soaring. In the coming months, as inflation kicks in, investor demand is sure to double or triple easily.
Silver Poised For An Upside Surge

When Silvers Gone and Demand is Soaring, Prices Could Multiply Quickly
Maybe its time for Silver to get even with Gold! Clearly, all markets are in the process of price discovery. People are looking to alternative places to invest which explains the growing interest today in preserving wealth and profiting with precious metals. Despite prices multipling seven times, most people are just learning about the fundamentals of Silver. As more of us discover demand is growing while stockpiles of Silver are disappearing, we feel the free market will ultimately put a much higher value on Silver. In short, Silver is on sale today! The Rare Double Profit Opportunity As weve shown, both Silver and Gold have been big winners in the 21st century. At times, Silver outperformed Gold. The reverse is also true. The swings and tension between the two precious metals means they are seeking a long-term equilibrium price. Back in 1980, the last time the world financial markets were in such upheaval, both Gold and Silver hit all-time highs. Gold reached $850 and Silver topped $50. At the market peak, an ounce of Gold would have bought 17 ounces of Silver. However, in this bull market, Silver remains quite undervalued. A Gold coin today will buy 40 Silver Dollars, making Silver a far better buy! Diversify, Diversify, Diversify Lets assume the Silver to Gold ratio eventually ends up back at 17 to 1. If that happens, you will profit handsomely by owning Silver at current market prices. could trade your Silver Dollars for 3.5 ounces of Gold! That would be a 350% profit if the value of Silver only returns to the mean and Gold doesnt go up a dime. Keep in mind, past performance is no guarantee for the future.

In Business 101 Class, we learned free markets set prices based on supply and demand. After Silver was pulled from coinage in 1964, the massive overhanging Silver supply kept prices from rising. Silver prices were cheap, dirt cheap. But then, after 2003, the supply/demand numbers changed radically. Stockpiles were vanishing and the new uses for Silver used up the metal as less and less was recyclable. As a result of falling supplies, Silver prices went up! Silver has increased from a $4.06 low in 2001 to trade today nine times higher far outperforming returns on traditional assets like Stocks and Bonds.

We hope youve learned a valuable lesson. Having a vital missing piece of information can make you a ton of extra money with little or no extra risk.
Lets say youre thinking of investing $10,000, $100,000 or a million dollars in Gold today. Listen to what the Silver to Gold ratio is screaming Diversify, diversify, diversify- and put at least a portion of that money into Silver immediately! If you just want to trade Gold coins that you already own for Silver Coins, that too makes good sense.

A Convincing Case for Silver

Its Time to Buy Physical Silver Coins
We feel the Silver to Gold ratio is an ideal indicator for deciding when and how much Silver you should buy. In addition, there are several important facts about Silver youll want to consider before buying. Silver Rises With Gold The primary technical driver for Silver is nearly always the price of Gold. If Golds up next year, Silvers likely to rise with it. Silver is Small Change Gold trades today over $1,500 an ounce. Thinking ahead, if the price of Gold triples to $4,500, thats lots of money. If you need hard money for survival in an emergency, youll need Silver. Silver is Barter Money Silver was money used by the masses in Greece, Rome, Europe, China, the British Empire, and the United States. If Silver goes up 3x, 5x, or 10x todays $35-$45 price, you can still barter a Silver Dollar for a basket of groceries or a tank of gas. Silver is Affordable Tens of millions of people worldwide cant afford a $1,500 Gold Coin but can afford one ounce Silver Coins for under $45. Chinese and Indian Demand There are 2 billion more new consumers to buy Silver than when it last traded at $50 an oz. As these people purify their water, buy cell phones, electronics, TVs, and refrigerators, they inevitably use up more Silver every year. Silver is Cheap The final reason to buy Silver is price. Silver is a screaming bargain! My intuition tells me most people will eagerly pay $75-100 in years to come for one of these big, beautiful, Silver Coins.

They include hedge fund managers, ex-investment bankers, financial advisors who manage billion-dollar portfolios for retirement funds, plus many doctors, lawyers, and successful businessmen. Uncertainty in Stocks From where we see the world, the demand for Silver is higher right now than it has been since 2008. Silver is now trading at $35 a ounce and Gold has peaked over $1,541 an ounce. Since the U.S. Stock Market crash there is a growing uncertainty that lurks in everyones mind Is there any stock or bond thats really safe to own? In addition, there is an ever-growing fear factor plaguing wealthy Americans. We know that liberal Washington politicians are about to tax and spend us into the poor house. Not one single change that President Obama has proposed will encourage the wealthy to take any more risks in Stocks or to ever buy another bond. Wave of Demand for Silver As a result of the uncertainty, we see a tidal wave of investor demand coming at us for physical Silver Silver Coins, Silver Dollars, and Silver Bars.

Call us today and well show you the best ways to accomplish these goals.

Now is the Time to Diversify with Silver

Disclaimers - Investing in Silver

In the late 1970s, the Hunt Brothers cornered the Silver market and drove up prices to the $52.50 mark an all-time record high for Silver. Remember that Silver prices and Silver dollar prices can be volatile due to the size of the market. Risks and rewards vary depending on the kind of Silver investment you make. Be especially careful when investing in Silver futures, Silver mining firms, or Silver ETFs exchange traded funds. Understand the risks and rewards before investing. Remember that the price of Silver once traded as high as $52.50 an ounce. That was for a short time only and due to the Hunt Brothers manipulation and cornering of the Silver market in late 1979/80. That was a unique event that may not be repeated in our lifetimes. However, with such a past market high, this makes the present price around $35$45 an ounce very attractive to us. Investors should be aware that the all-time high price for U.S. Silver Dollars had no relationship to that event at all. The all-time highs for Morgan Silver Dollars occurred during 1987, a time when spot Silver traded between $6.76 and $7.93 an ounce. By adding the precious metal Silver to your core holdings, you are helping to balance and diversify your portfolio, increasing the potential for profit, and protecting yourself from volatile downside movements in other assets like real estate, stocks, or bonds.
