Gold and Silver

Why we work this business model to acquire our own store of wealth in the form of gold and silver. It is an exciting and rewarding business opportunity. To get what you want, you have to give people what they want, which we firmly beleive in. Our knowledge and education of the silver market is shared with our private club membership.

A recent survey of Metro Detroit coin and jewelery stores showed very little silver bullion or American Silver Eagles available for public consumption. Why? One store owner has a list of customers waiting to buy fine silver bullion, once he takes delivery, phone calls are made to his customer base and his supply is sold within 24 hours.

Our sources reveal that the U.S. Mint has thirteen vendors around the country who can purchase American Silver Eagles in bulk, meaning 500 or more coins per order.

The U.S. Mint was authorized by law to strike a Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollar in 2009. 500,000 were authorized, they have published on their web site that the 500,000 coin limit is Sold Out in less then 90 days. We were fortunate enough to receive one and it is in fact a true collectors item. See our other lens for photos and information on this coin.

A study of the historical value of silver leads one to beleive that silver is underpriced at this time. As the demand increases, as more and more uses are discoverd and patented every year for various uses of silver, one could surely surmise that the price of silver will increase. What is the upside? Hard to tell, but taking the historical ratio of 15-20 to one for gold, the price today should be around $60.00 an ounce. Will it get there? No clue, but at todays prices it may be a strong buy for informed investors.

Printed on the back of this coin is part President Lincoln's speech at what is now Gettysburg National Cemetary.

What is real money?

Milton Freedman writes in his book "Is Silver Money"
Did you know? Silver has the six aspects of real money in a classical sense.

(1) It is divisible.
(2) It is durable.
(3) It is convenient.
(4) It has utility value.
(5) It cannot be created by fiat. (Federal Reserve Notes)
(6) Used as a medium of exchange and has a store of value.

Did you know that since 1913 the U.S. Federal Reserve Note has lost 98% of its value or buying power? It is no longer backed by gold or silver but backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, which would be you and I.

Paper money becomes worth less and worth less then it becomes worthless.

Federal Reserve Notes are I.O.U.'s and we, the American Citizens are the ones who owe. Would you rather have silver or gold as a store of value or an I.O.U.?

Did you know that it is estimated that there are 2 billion ounces of gold above ground on this planet, compared to 500 million ounces of Silver.

Did you know that the demand for silver has outstripped supply for 20 years? Owning gold and silver is no longer a luxury it is a necessity.

Did you know that in 1933 silver sold for .25 cents per ounce.

1979/1980 it sold for $48.00 per ounce.

In 1993 Silver sold for $3.50 per ounce.

In 2008 it traded as high as $20.00 per ounce. Owning your own supply of Silver Bullion or Gold coins is a wise decision and a hedge against impending inflation. In todays dollars, silver is a bargain!

Did you know that in 1959 the U.S. Government owned 2 Billion ounces of Silver.

By 1970 their supply had dropped to 375 Million ounces.

Today the government has to buy Silver on the open market for it's "Silver Coin Program" (http://www.usmint.com) Which may be temporarily suspended due to a tight silver market.

Between 1990 and 2005 1.5 Billion ounces of silver was used up.

SO WHERE DOES THE SILVER GO?

According to The Silver Institute (www.silverinstitute.org) Silver is used for the following applications: 54% for industrial use. 25% for Silver Ware and Jewelry. 17% for photography. That leaves 4% for coins and investment.

HERE ARE SOME FACTS!

1965: President Lyndon Johnson signed the coinage act of 1965, removing silver coins from our coinage

1971: President Richard Nixon signed Public Law 93-373 announcing that the United States would no longer convert dollars to a fixed value, thus abandoning the Gold Standard for Foreign Exchange.

1987: The United States consumed 6587 Tons of Silver, China consumed 1664 Tons.

2003: through October 25, 2006: Did you know that the DJA was up 34.2%. Gold increased in value 69.3% while Silver increased in value 158.5%.

2008: Silver traded as high as $20.00 an ounce and has since tracked back to around $13.00.

2009: The U.S. Treasury printed one TRILLION dollars to jump start the economy which will eventually lead to inflationary times ahead. In the last two years our government has printed close to two TRILLION dollars.

More patents are issued for Silver use on an annual basis then for any other metal!

Our study of the silver market proves that the price of silver is being maniuplated. Historicaly silver has traded at a ratio of 15-20 ounces to one ounce of gold. Today the ratio is around 70-1. Due to the global economic meltdown, mines around the world are shutting down, which means less production of silver.

The demand for silver increases yearly, with demand outstripping supply by as much as 200 million ounces. We beleive it is a good time to secure silver, looking at the inflation devastated U.S. dollar, silver is cheap, affordable and it is safe and it will never be worthless. We cannot say that about paper money.

History has proven that when a country's wealth is based on paper money with no store of value behind it, the country fails.
