Why Gold and Silver? I get this question often these days. More and more people are asking this important question as time goes by . . .
I have been recommending that “everyone” include Gold and Silver in their investment plan since 2006. Most people didn’t listen to these recommendations in 2006. In fact, many people scoffed at the idea. There were a “few” admirers. But very “few”.

In fact, most of the wealthy, elite class – most savvy investors – have been moving a large portion of their wealth into Gold and Silver for several years – and continue to do so today.

So let’s be respectful of reality and take a leap beyond academics and theory and look at Europe today, with Greece and now Ireland as the starting points. This is the sobering face of national bankruptcy in real time: financial chaos, a collapsing currency, and widespread social unrest. And strangely, it seems to have happened suddenly and all at once.
And where are we at now in the US?
