Short Term Volitility Keeps Most From Long Term Profits
Many don't invest in gold because they say it is too volitile. They are scared to buy right now because they don't want to risk buying in at these "high" prices.

I'd be inclined to agree with them if my focus were on short term profits. But my focus is clearly 5 to 10 years down the road. And with that time frame in mind, gold is the ONLY safe alternative today.

Consider the following:

You would have to give your children or grandchildren $1 today to buy the same amount of candy you could get for 18¢ back in 1971.

While gold’s price has fluctuated, its purchasing power has endured.

In fact, unlike with the dollar, your children can actually buy about 4 times MORE candy today than you got with the same gold coin you had in 1971.


Paper ALWAYS loses value long term, and gold ALWAYS retains value long term. Don't let the short term volitility of the dollar gold price hide this truth from you!!!
