We are living in turbulent times regarding our financial economies. The USA for example is a whopping 14.5 Trillion Dollars in debt. The United Kingdom is nearing its credit card limit of 1 trillion Pounds. China (the unstoppable train) is a hair line from a nationwide slowdown and crash. What can we all do to stop this spiralling out of control? Not much, say the financial gurus. We can however protect our wealth from out of control inflation.


For centuries gold and silver have been used as a means of exchange [see Silver: A true store of value]. Paper currency and credit cards have taken gold and silver's place. As the new means of exchange grow weaker, gold and silver are a safe haven for maintaining wealth.



The yellow metal Gold as risen to new highs once again. As of July 2011 the Gold Price is $1600 an ounce. The silver price is equally impressive at $40 an ounce, 4 times its $10 price 2 years ago.


This is all due to the spiralling debt, which equals more money being printed, which finally equals the debasement of our paper monetary system. Buying Gold and Silver which a percentage of your savings will protect your money from a total loss. As money is printed, Gold is not, and takes its place as the best protection asset of personal wealth.
