Get Used To The Dollar Falling
- A deteriorating relationship with Saudi Arabia means we might be witnessing the last days of the 'Petro Dollar' - at best this translates into even less support for US dollar denominated trade.
- China backed gold certificates issued by the BRICS fund gain traction
- The Federal Reserve The Fed losing control of situation it attempts to solve due to plunging interest rates and lack of interest in treasury notes
Diversity Is Important
- Don't limit your purchases to just one company spread it around but do favor companies that already have the infrastructure in place to produce gold since it can take a long time to develop a mine.
- Also keep in mind that many established companies shuttered a large portion of their mine portfolio over the past few years due to declining prices
- Focus in on companies that weathered the storm and didn't resort to closing mines - in the short run they will yield the best returns.
Don't Ignore Silver
The gold silver ratio exceeded 80 for much of the last year but now with a new commodity bull run starting to take place, the ratio has already declined to 70. Considering the recent past (10-15 years) the ratio has the potential to decline even further to below 40, leaving the possibility of a 2 to 1 return on silver verses gold. Demand for silver remains strong but remember that central banks don't buy it - this means that global economic instability is less likely to benefit silver price and more likely to benefit the price of gold. In the meantime make silver mining companies a priority.Kinross Gold NYSE:KGC - has most to benefit from a new gold rally. kept mines despite downturn in stock in recent years - weathered the storm.
