Buy Bullion Now - 7 Important Reasons to Invest in Silver and Gold Bullion
It would appear, from the recent action in the financial markets, that all is well in the world once again. The price crude oil has now plunged 20 percent from its recent record high of $145 a barrel. Stocks are rallying. The dollar has firmed.
Experts are now saying that the real estate market has bottomed. The commodity bubble has burst. Oil is on it's way down to $100 a barrel. And soon, the year-long credit crisis, housing slump and economic slowdown will be just an unpleasant memory. The future is so bright you gotta wear shades, right?
Not so fast.

Before you rush out and trade your precious silver and gold bullion for depreciating paper dollars, take off those rose-colored glasses and examine the real facts behind the hype. Here are seven valid reasons to be investing in silver and gold bullion:
1. The Weak Economy Is NOT Improving
Retail sales for the month of July were disappointing. Wal-Mart's 3% same-store sales growth came in below expectations. Yes, Costco's results were the one bright spot - up 10%. However, when you dig into the details, you'll discover that the reason for the strong growth was the increase in gasoline sales. Back those figures out and sales were up only 6%, less than consensus estimates!
Notably weak were the sales results of teen retailers. This doesn't bode well for back-to-school sales in August. Looks like a lot of kids will be returning to school, wearing last year's garb!
2. The Employment Picture Is BLEAK
Jobless Claims rose to 455,000. That's up from 448,000 the week before. Look for that figure to go up as job cuts by U.S. employers soared last month.
Layoff announcements are up 141% from a year ago, according to private placement firm, Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, Inc. That's on top of the gloomy news unemployment figures reported by the Labor Department last week. The U.S. Economy has now lost jobs for seven straight months and the unemployment rates is at a four-year high.
3. Financial Markets Are STILL Unstable
Freddie and Fannie are seeing red. Both Freddie Mac and mortgage giant Fannie Mae missed earnings estimates by a wide margin, reported huge losses, and slashed their dividends.
If that wasn't bad enough, Freddie Mac now has a negative equity position. Translation: shareholder would get absolutely nothing if Freddie were to pay down all of its debt and sell its assets. Fannie Mae's CEO predicts 'significant' losses in 2009 and will no longer purchase Alt-A mortgages, by year's end. These horrendous results increase the likelihood of a big government bailout.
4. The Housing Market Has NOT Bottomed
Mortgage delinquencies are getting worse. Mortgages that were issued during the 1st half of 2007 now have a delinquency rate of 0.91%. The delinquency rate for 2006 mortgages was 0.33%. These are prime mortgages, folks.
It has been estimated that 65% of sub-prime loans originated in 2007 will end up in default. These figure suggests that housing foreclosures will remain at record highs.
5. Inflation Is WORSE Than It Appears
The inflation monster is alive and well. The consumer price index (CPI) is up 5% through June. That is the biggest one-year increase since 1991. That statistic is even worse than it appears.
During the Reagan and Clinton terms, the way that rising inflation was measured was changed, in order to lower the official rate. If you calculate the CPI in the same manner that it was calculated in 1980, you would have to add 7% to whatever the published figure is. That would mean that the true rate of inflation is running 12%. No wonder the average guy in the street is hurting!
Investors are betting that the drop in oil prices will tame the inflation monster. However, even with the recent correction oil prices are still up 61 percent from where they were a year ago.
6. The Fed Will NOT Raise Interest Rates To Combat Inflation
The Federal Reserve is stuck between a rock and a hard place. As expected, the Federal Reserve held its fed funds target rate at 2%. The accompanying statement also reflected a rather dovish tone. The phrase 'diminished downside risks and increased inflation expectations' from the June 25th statement was nowhere to be found.
The Fed funds futures are now pricing in only a 52% chances of a hike in interest rates during the next two FOMC meetings. That's a fall from a prediction that was as high as 80 percent last week! Pimco's Managing Director Bill Gross said that rate hike talks are 'comical:'
"We're in a recession. When has the Fed ever raised rates in a recession?" he said. "Unemployment is headed toward 6 percent, mortgage rates on home buyers are at 7 percent, and these guys want to raise rates?"
7. Global Tensions are HIGH
Georgia's Offensive Move Is Risky. War broke out on Thursday in the strategically important area of Georgia, over control of South Ossetia. The price of oil seemed to take the situation in stride, doing absolutely nothing at all. At risk, however, is an international pipeline that runsclose by, not to mention the possibility of the conflict setting off a wider war.
Gold and silver are now at their lowest level in six weeks, giving investors the perfect opportunity to buy. If you are still unconvinced that you should be investing in precious metals, just remember this:
History has provided us with many examples of paper money whose value has been destroyed. But, gold and silver have survived war, inflation, deflation, recession and depression. Silver and gold bullion are truly a safe-haven for those smart enough to realize their true value.
