As an investment newsletter, the Euro vs Dollar Gold Monitor solves the single biggest challenge all gold investors share in common. In one word, that challenge is how to achieve
Peace of Mind
The vast majority of gold investors do not fully understand, to their own complete satisfaction, when to sell and when NOT to sell their gold investments, be they stocks, funds, coins, or bullion.
That uncertainty causes lots of problems, especially with a cacophony of different voices all screaming from all directions: "Sell!" "Buy!" "Don't hold, trade!" "Buy gold stocks!" Buy silver stocks!" "Buy rare coins!" -- etc., etc.
The reason for gold investors' lack of certainty is that they are largely unaware of the profound effect the creation and continued existence of the euro currency has on three things: (1) the fate of the dollar, (2) the fate of all fiat currencies, and (3) the mechanism that determines the fiat-price of gold.
I have been writing and warning investors about this for more than four years now, with excellent results. Here is how one subscriber put it:
Alex,
First of all, I want to thank you for your insight and experience. Really, you have made me not sell my gold since 2002.
Al T.
For roughly two and a half of those years, from January of 2005 until only this past summer in 2007, the dollar has enjoyed a temporary reprieve from the euro's onslaught.
But that was then.
The dollar's extended dead-cat bounce is now over. In September of 2007, the dollar fell through its all-time "floor" of 80 on the US Dollar Index. Now, there is very little left that holds it up. Because of the Euro vs Dollar war, whatever little support is still there will also disappear - shortly.
As far as dead cats go, the dollar bounced pretty good during that time, but in the end it still succumbed to its three primary weaknesses:
A gradual loss of primary, built-in, worldwide demand resulting from its status as the world's oil-trading currency;
A tremendous and ever-increasing US trade deficit with the world, especially Japan and China; and
The loss of its international gold-backing when Nixon closed the US 'gold-window' back in 1971.
Hi. I am Alex Wallenwein, and I'm the owner of the Small Business Goldmine, a brand new website designed to provide small business owners with the tools and resources to succeed.
The Small Business Goldmine is also the new home of the Euro vs. Dollar Gold Monitor. The Monitor is an online financial newsletter and investment advisory I began publishing in April of 2003 to help individuals protect themselves from the ongoing dollar-collapse.
Small business owners are the individuals who are most in need of the information provided by each Monitor issue. As a small business owner, you are the backbone of America - and America is under fire because her currency - the money you make every day - is under fire.
I hold a B.A. degree in Economics and a juris doctorate in Law. My forte is research. In late 1996, I began to research how money is used by some to exert political and economic control over others' lives. In the process, I discovered that gold (along with silver) is the common man's antidote to this effort. In writing and publishing the Euro vs Dollar Monitor, I explain the dynamics of this process and how individuals can harness the power of gold in their efforts to regain their political and financial autonomy.
In fact, this temporary reprieve has been a tremendous help to the euro and constituted essentially "bad news" to the dollar, because it has allowed the Asian markets of China, Japan, and the Pacific rim countries to become much less US export-dependent and more internally interdependent and therfore self-sufficient.
Meanwhile the euro's proliferation around the world has quietly spread without running the risk of suddenly becoming too expensive relative to the dollar, which would have seriously impaired EU export competitiveness.
Now, however, the EU countries have stabilized and rebounded economically from a long stint of sub-par performance. They are now actually doing better than the US.
The dollar's dead-cat rebound peaked in late 2005, and in early September of this year (2007) the greenback fell below its all-time floor of 80 on the US Dollar Index.
From a contrarian perspective, many expect the dollar to rebound now (or soon) because of the contrarian maxim that wen everybody is bearish on a certain investment, it's time to buy.
In order for that maxim to ratchet into gear, however, there needs to be another 'sprocket' somewhere that it can actually bite into.
Unfortunately, that sprocket is gone, now.
The 'sprocket' I am talking about is world dollar demand. Since more and more oil-producing countries are switching from dollars to euros, it is dwindling rapidly. And, worst of all, Saudi Arabia, the original oil-producer that agreed to take only dollars for oil after the dollar lost its last gold backing in 1971, is showing signs of wanting to abandon the dollar.
On October 3, 2007, the Saudis refused to match the US Fed's 50% rate cut, showing a desire to go off the dollar-peg. Such moves have preceded other oil nations' switches away from the dollar in the past. In fact, the Saudis can no longer afford to peg their currency to the falling dollar because it causes price inflation by making foreign products (on which they depend because they produce little, other than oil) too expensive for them.
With its oil backing largely gone, and no gold backing since '71,and the competition from the euro, and the outrageous trade deficit, and now the US subprime mortgage-induced worldwide credit crunch, there is little reason for other nations to keep using the dollar for settling their trade accounts.
In economics, lower demand always means lower value - in this case forex (foreign exchange) value.
That's where we are today.
Where Will It Go From Here?
Although time lines can always be extended (by 'official intervention', also known as i>overt manipulation), the likely effect of the dollar's decline on the US economy is dire - and severe.
The dollar is currently in uncharted territory. It has never been below the USD Index's 80-mark in its entire history. At the time of this writing, the dollar has remained below that mark for six full months!
How low is too low?
How far of a decline is too far?
Is there a point at which the US economy will simply crumble as a result?
There are no commonly accepted standards or measures for this situation. We can, however, at least speculate with a certain amount of probability jut by thinking things through according to the 'laws' of economics.
Wars, domestic and international political, economic, or financial monetary events can significantly influence the outcome. That's why it is absolutely imperative that investors and business owners get the kind of weekly and up-to-the-minute updates and advance warnings the Euro vs Dollar Monitor provides.
The Life Boat
Fortunately, individuals are not without a remedy, a fall-back solution that can shield them from the most radioactive fallout from the ongoing and mounting currency crisis.
That fall-back position is our present ability to invest in precious metals and related securities.
They function as a perfect 'lifeboat' because they have a powerful tendency to rise as everything else (fiat money-based paper assets) sinks in value.
The reason for that stems from their well-known quality of having what is called "intrinsic" value. That means the value (i.e., utility to people) of precious metals as a store of wealth is unparalleled in human history.
Even Alan Greenspan, the master-deceiver of the monetary elites, has acknowledged that gold is and remains the ultimate form of payment. Everything else is essentially a placeholder, a substitute of convenience.
The Titanic
If you are new to this subject, it is important to understand the origin of fiat-money, how it came about, and how clever bankers figured out that they could vastly increase their influence over the world's political rulers by becoming their creditors. Fiat money (currency denuded of all precious metals backing and essentially created through debt, which is the opposite of value) can be created at will, out of thin air.
By persuading (some would say bribing) political leaders to turn the currency-creation and valuation process over to them in return for the leaders' unlimited ability to borrow), bankers caused leaders to become beholden to them and their interests. It really is no more complicated than that.
Today's worldwide fiat system is the end result of a continuous and systematic subversion of all true value by the world's monetary authorities. Their biggest enemy is therefore actual value (in the form of precious metals), held by the masses of individuals, and circulating freely as currency to compete with the bankers' own debt creation.
Historically, we are getting very close to the end of the life cycle of a purely debt-based worldwide monetary system controlled by the issuing authorities - the world's central banks.
These central bankers have built a splendid vessel that has controlled the world's financial waters for decades now. It is the very best modern technology, human savvy, and know-how are capable of producing - but it has hit an iceberg.
That 'iceberg' is the fact that in spite of the bankers' best intentions, true value - gold and silver - continue to exist and provide a reminder to all participants that debt can only pose as value. It can never become value, even if the law decrees that it shall be used as payment for debt.
Debt - As Payment for Debt?
A dollar bill (or any fiat currency, whether in coin, paper, or electronic form) is nothing but evidence of a debt. A dollar bill is called a 'bank note' (or federal reserve note) for a reason:
A 'note' is a written instrument that evidences a debt and constitutes a promise to repay.
The problem is that the very fact that the law (the legal tender laws of the United States, in the dollar's case) has decreed that this instrument of debt shall be accepted as "legal tender for all debts, public and private."
A dollar, in turn, is created in one of three ways:
By outright printing initiated by the Federal Reserve;
By loaning it into existence when a bank makes a loan to an individual and creates a "credit" on the individual's account (checking deposits are automatically counted as part of the money supply); or
By Congress borrowing dollars from the federal reserve in return for Treasury bills, notes, or bonds, which the Fed then proceeds to "monetize" by printing the requisite amount of dollars.
As a result, dollars (which are evidence of debt) must be loaned into existence in order to "pay" previously existing debt, thus piling debt upon debt in a seemingly endless inverted-pyramid fashion.
Well, as you know, inverted pyramids can't stand on their own. They must be held up. That which has held up the dollar-pyramid was oil - and oil is now migrating to the euro.
The problem is that the euro is also just evidence of a debt. The volume of dollars now circulating in the world must eventually be replaced by euros if the world is to continue to function - and that will put the euro into the same dire straits as those the dollar is now in. That is the fiat-Titanic's iceberg.
THE MONITOR
(Knowing When, and How, and What to Invest in - and Why!)
Knowing that gold and silver can be your lifeboat in this turbulent sea of debt is great - but you also need to know how to use it, how much of your wealth you should put into gold, what forms of gold investments are safer than others and why and, most importantly,you must know when to hold onto it and when to sell it.
