With the U.S. dollar hitting all time lows people are once again looking at hard assets. One of the most popular (as it is a much truer form of money than paper) is precious metals.

Speculations of another economic collapse, perhaps greater in size than the Great Depression in the 30s are being talked about by respected economists. If it does happen you can be sure that the people with precious metals will carry the true wealth.

This video really changed the way I see money. Note that precious metals (gold and silver act almost exactly the same in the market) are always worth the same, no matter what the year in human history. It is only the MONEY that changes in value. Watch this video and see what I mean (I realize its a strange concept).

Money vs. Gold

Although silver is a good investment it isn’t truly scarce like gold is. Most of the gold in the world has already been mined.

Buy gold now before the price per ounce gets even higher. Here are two excellent sites to shop at. I highly suggest Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins since they are the purist gold coins in the world. Also excellent (have standing the test of time) are South African Krugerrands.
