Hey Mike Dillard here, founder of The Elevation Group, and I just wanted to

congratulate you on downloading a copy of my report, Everything You Need To

Know About Buying And Selling Gold and Silver

This is subject that has become near and dear to my heart over the past few

years, and everything youre about to learn in this report is based on my own

personal experience buying and selling over $1 Million dollars in gold and

silver, and what Ive learned through the relationships Ive formed with

industry leaders like Michael Maloney and James Turk.

I actually started putting the majority of my assets into precious metals back in early 2008, when

silver was just $10 per ounce, and gold was around $800, after my eyes were opened to the pending

disasters headed toward the United States which are still in the process of unfolding today.

Ill bet youre reading this right now because you have the same concerns

Whether its though a friend, your financial advisor, or research youve done online, youre probably

aware that the actions of the Federal Reserve since its inception, but particularly since 2008, have

been destroying the value of the Dollars in your bank account by printing record amounts of stimulus

money.

In fact, heres how much new money the Fed has printed since 2008.

As a result, inflation is rising, and the

cost of your food and gas along with i

Turning your paper money into gold

and silver is one of the best ways to

protect the value of your savings and

investments...

And in fact, it has the potential to be

the single greatest investment any of

us will ever see in our lifetimes if you

know two things

Lets say that you pick up some

precious metals and position yoursel

on winning side of this wealth transf

during the next year or two.

There will come a day when the gold bubble bursts, just like the real-estate bubble did, and the tech

bubble before that, which means youll need to know two things

First When to sell and get out of metals before they plummet. But most important of all Where toput your money next. THAT is the million-dollar question that has driven me for three years, becaus

buying gold and silver right now is simple. Its easy. Its common sense.

But knowing when to sell your metals, and where to put your gains next will ultimately determine how

wealthy you become. Unless you have a plan for your next move, you just have a bunch of shiny coins

in your pocket.

In fact, if you have a few minutes when youre done reading this report, Ill go ahead and show you

what Im planning to do with my money, including a little-known strategy Im using to create a

$100,000 per month retirement foundation thats 100% tax free, and completely independent of the

stock market.

Ill also talk about my plan when it comes to gold and silver, and Ill show you a 3-part commercial re

estate strategy Ive recently uncovered thats conservatively on track to turn a $50,000 investment,

into $20,000,000, even it todays market

.....................................................................................................................................................

And heres a chart showing just how fast the Dollars you own arelosing their value because of that printing

But considering that we just met I should probably tell you a little more about

myself and my past so that youll be able to judge the value and reliability of this

report with confidence

Im 34 years old, and have an amazing family here in Austin Texas. Back in 2005

started an online marketing company, which publishes books, CDs, and DVDs

that teach small business owners how to market and sell their products online,

using strategies that allowed me to make my first million by the age of 27.

Over 1,000,000 entrepreneurs and investors around the world have subscribed t

my email newsletters, and Ive had the privilege of speaking to thousands of entrepreneurs about

marketing, wealth, and the economy from stage, or through the various publications weve been

featured in.

Today I run three companies out of two offices with 12 employees, which have produced over

$20,000,000 in combined revenue during the last 36 months alone. And I know that when it comes

to the internet, people can just throw out numbers and make up anything they want, so I thought Id

pull out my 2009 tax return for just one of the 3 businesses which did $6.3 Million just by itself in

2009. Now when it comes to my personal life and what I love to do for fun, Im actually a huge baja

racing fan

But my primary passion and focus over the past three years hasbecome the economy and investing Now I dont know about you, but

I wasnt raised with a real education in wealth creation...

I grew up in a middle class family with hard-working parents who did

the exact same thing everyone else did with their money They handed

it over to a financial adviser who invested it for the long-term in a

diversified portfolio of mutual funds and a Roth IRA.

Well thanks to my success in business, by 2007 I had managed to save

up a bit of money, and realized that I needed to put it to work instead of

spending it on fast cars and all of the other things that a guy in his 20s

would buy So I began a new personal journey into the world of money and investing, and Ive

dedicated my life to cracking open the black-box investing strategies of the ultra-rich

What I found was so unexpected, and is so profound that it has completely changed the entire

direction of my life, my priorities, and my view of the world. It was so shocking that I even handed

over control of my 8-figure businesses to my partners, and set off on a quest to turn these economic

events into biggest opportunity of my life, and yours...

.....................................................................................................................................................


6/25


You know that the US is bankrupt,and that its credit rating wasdowngraded for the first time inhistory

You know that the prices of your food and gasoline are risingat record rates

You know that Europe is collapsing You knowthat gold and silver are hitting new record highsever month


7/25


Simply put, there are five factors are colliding together at this very moment, creating a perfect storm

unimaginable change so great, that just 10 years from now for better or worse, America and the

world, will be a fundamentally different place than how we know it today.

I dont have time to dive into the details on all five in this video, but you know deep down in your gut

that the world is in trouble You know that unemployment is at record highs and getting worse

And you know that the stock market and your retirement plans are teetering over a cliff

And yet I am here to tell you right now, that change creates opportunity, which is why more people

became millionaires during the Great Depression, than any other time in American history.

When massive change takes place, wealth transfers from one persons hands to another, and today

were living through the single greatest transfer of wealth in human history.

So while it may seem a bit strange to talk about getting rich during what is unofficially a global

economic depression, Its actually the best opportunity you will ever have during your life-time to

become very, very, wealthy IF You know how.

And that leads me to the big question, and the point of this report

Is it possible to achieve peace of mind and financial security, or even produce incredible wealth durin

these times of economic chaos,and if so, HOW?

The answer to both is a resounding YES, and gold and silver are at the heart of the strategy

So lets dive in

.....................................................................................................................................................

I like to give credit where credit is due, and the majority of my knowledge on gold and silver has come

from the incredible work of Michael Maloney, (www.GoldSilver.com).

If you have not purchased a copy of his book, Rich Dads Guide To Investing In Gold And Silver,

stop what youre doing and order a copy now. I can honestly say that its one of the single most

important books Ive ever read, and the best $12.00 youll ever spend.

I discovered Michael through Robert Kiyosaki back in

2007, and weve become good friends since then.

The first thing Michael will tell you when you when you

meet him is that hes NOT a gold and silver bug.

Hes a historian of currencies and macro-economic cycles,

or as he likes to call them, wealth cycles.

He dove into gold and silver more than 10 years ago when

he began to research the Federal Reserve Banking System,

fiat currencies, and wealth cycles.

Essentially, he identified that the US fiat currency called

the Dollar, was coming to the end of its life-cycle, and

that the United States was entering Stage 6 of 7 when it

comes to the life-cycle of an empire.

Yes Fiat currencies and Empires have lifecycles just like everything else, and heres a brief recap of

the seven stages every single empire has gone through

Stage 1: A country starts out with good money, which is either gold or backed by gold.

.....................................................................................................................................................

Stage 2: As it develops economically and socially, it begins to take on more and more economic

burdens, adding layer upon layer of public works and social programs.

Stage 3: As its economic affluence grows so does its political influence, and it increases

expenditures to fund a massive military.

Stage 4: Eventually it puts its military to use, and expenditures explode.

Stage 5: To fund the war, the costliest of mans endeavors, it steals the wealth of its people by

replacing their money with currency that can be created in unlimited quantities.

It does this at the outbreak of war, as in the case of WW I, during the war as in Vietnam

or as a perceived solution to the economic ravages of previous wars.

Stage 6: Finally, the wealth transfer caused by expansion of the currency supply is felt by the

population as severe consumer price inflation, triggering a loss of faith in the currency

(This is where we stand today).

Stage 7: An en masse movement out of the currency into precious metals and other tangible

assets take place, the currency collapses, and massive wealth is transferred to those wh

had enough foresight to position their money into the right asset class before hand

Now when I talk to lifetime investors or traders who have been doing their thing through the most

prosperous years of our nation, they just dont get this.

They think its crazy talk Its an impossibility because they have 30 years of previous life experience

that dictate otherwise. But as a new kid on the block with zero preconceived notions clouding my

judgment as to how things should or should not be, its an outcome that is as clear and inevitable as

day.

Just as 2+2 = 4, it is a mathematical certainty the United States of America will declare bankruptcy, o

destroy the Dollar trying to prevent it.

It is a process that every single nation who has played with fiat currencies has succumbed to since the

fall of the Roman Empire.

Every nation 100% Without exception.

So buying and gold and silver has nothing to do with the actual desire for the metals, and everything t

do with the desire to avoid the consequences that will come with the death of the Dollar.

Ive been buying gold and silver to protect the value of my personal wealth, and to absorb the value of

the rest of the worlds wealth, as it is transferred out of paper currencies, and into precious metals.

Every single time the Fed prints more Dollars, it dilutes the value of the Dollars already in circulation

Anytime theres more of something, that something becomes less valuable.

This is called inflation. You see, the true value of gold never changes The only thing that DOES

change is the value of the Dollar. When the Dollar drops in value, it takes more dollars to buy one

ounce of gold. So when you see the price in gold increase 25% in a year, the price of gold didnt really

increase 25%. It just looks that way because the Dollar actually dropped in value by 25%.

This chart goes back to 1971 when the Dollar went off the gold

standard, and basically says it all. Notice that it only goes to

2009, and gold is just at $1,000 per ounce.

Considering were right around $1,900/ounce as of this writing,

that means the Dollars in your pocket have lost an additional

90% of their value in the last 12 months alone! If you have cash

sitting idle in a savings account, youre literally going broke!

This is how gold and silver allow you to protect your wealth from

the inflation.

And heres the deal The Dollar will not recover and reverse course over the long run. Its final

destination will stop at $0.00, just like every other single fiat currency thats come before since the

days of Rome. The statistical probability of this based on 2,000 years of history is 100%.

The best video summary Ive found when it comes to todays

story behind the reasons for gold and silvers current rise can

be found here to the left.

Now instead of focusing on a history lesson which is expertly

told in Michaels book, I want to focus on the practical steps

and pieces of knowledge Ive acquired when it comes to

purchasing metals, and when to sell them.

.....................................................................................................................................................

11/25


There are three primary sources I purchase my metals from

1:www.GoldSilver.com

2:www.Tulving.com

3:www.GoldMoney.com

The service and delivery from both companies has been perfect. Tulvings website looks antiquated,

but dont let that bother you. Theyve been in business for decades, have the best prices, and every

purchase Ive made from them has been excellent.

The only downside is that they have some pretty steep minimum purchase requirements: 5-20 ounce

for gold depending on the type, and 500 ounces for silver.

I simply buy from whoever has the best price, and inventory at the time.

The advantage of buying from GoldSilver.com, is that Michaels team will add you to their newsletter

which will also tell you when they will begin to sell their metals.

The third vendor I purchase from iswww.GoldMoney.com.

GoldMoney.com has been around for 10 years now, and is a unique service that I highly recommend t

everyone.

The owner, James Turk, is one of the most respected individuals and businessmen in the industry, an

he started GoldMoney.com after witnessing the corruption taking place in traditional bullion banks.

(Well talk about this more later).

In a nutshell, it provides the strategic protection of owning physical metal overseas, with the flexibilit

of instant redemption in multiple currencies.

After wiring funds into your account

.....................................................................................................................................................

Who I Buy My Gold AndSilver From:


12/25


You have essentially (and legally), set up an off-shore bank account, making it the quickest and easies

way for you to keep some assets outside the US.

You can then purchase gold, silver, or platinum by the gram. Every single gram of physical metal is

actually yours. Its held in your name, and is not shared on a fractional basis with anyone.

Hence, GoldMoney.com gives you the buying and selling convenience of paper-based gold such as a

stock like PSLV, but the security of owning physical metal.

The metal is stored for you at the GoldMoney.com vault of your choice. Currently, you can have your

metal stored in London, Zurich, or Hong Kong. GoldMoney.com takes a storage fee each month, and

thats how they make their money. Personally, I split my holdings between the Zurich and Hong Kong

vaults.

London is my last choice. Why? Because desperate times can call for desperate measures, and London

is getting desperate.

I like GoldMoney.com for three reasons:

1: If you ever need to leave the country quickly, as in the case of war or an economic

meltdown, you can do so without the burden of trying to travel with physical metal in your

suitcase.

2: Its extremely liquid, and I can buy or sell with the click of a mouse. When I have sold metals, the

funds have been wired into my bank account within 24 hours.

3: And finally, your proceeds can be turned into US Dollars, British Pounds, EUROS, Japanese Yen,

Canadian Dollars, or Swiss Francs, giving you an additional layer of flexibility and security provide

by multiple currency options.

If you have an international bank account set up through HSBC or something similar, you can access

your money from anywhere in the world.You can also use www.GoldMoney.com to put gold and silve

into your IRA, which has tax advantages. Just make sure that your IRA administrator will allow you t

invest in physical bullion via allocated storage.

I would NOT just let them purchase shares of GLD and SLV stocks for reasons well discuss in a

minute.

.....................................................................................................................................................


13/25

Storing Your Metals:

Depending on how much you purchase, I would take physical delivery of 50% of your metals, and the

hold the additional 50% at GoldMoney.com. Because I talk about this subject publically, I keep mine

a high-security facility out of state, and abroad.

The only thing I keep in my safe at home are guns Lots of them.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstance, store you metal in a banks safety deposit box. A

record number of banks closed in 2010, and the rate is only increasing. When a bank closes, many

customers find they cant get access to their safety deposit boxes for months. If you take personal

delivery of your metal, do not tell anyone. Period. You should consider arming your home as well.

When/If hyperinflation takes place, desperate people do desperate things.

Over the past four years, my family and I have amassed a substantial weapons arsenal, along with the

skills and licenses to use them. Ive found the number of millionaires and billionaires who have taken

the same measures shockingly high, but thats another topic for another time

If you purchase through Michael Maloney at www.GoldSilver.com, you can take advantage of their

storage vault with Brinks Security. At the end of the day, if you dont own the metal yourself in person

or in segregated storage, then you run the risk of losing control or possession of your metal throughnationalization or

confiscation.

As Michael likes to say, If you cant hold it, you dont own it.

Normally this wouldnt be such a concern, but given the current circumstances, I agree 100%. If I wer

simply a private citizen and not in the public eye, I would keep 50% of my metal in a safe at home, and

the other 50% with GoldMoney.com.

Should You Be Worried About Confiscation?

Speaking of confiscation risks, lets talk about thatBack in 1933, the US Gov made it illegal for

citizens to own gold, and unfortunately that could happen again. But if a coin dealer tries to sell you

coins that are exempt from confiscation, run away. Quickly. Its complete BS and theyre just trying

to sell you over-priced gold.

.....................................................................................................................................................



14/25

Should you worry about confiscation? Well heres what Michael has to say about it

The government will only nationalize gold and silver if people are asking for them in payment. Ifpeople are asking for gold and silver in payment, it means that were in the midst of hyperinflation.

If were in hyperinflation, the vast bulk of the wealth transfer will have already occurred, and it will

have been mind-bogglingly huge. So just sell the government your precious metals and buy somethin

tangible right away, (like real estate!).

As far for my take, Im not concerned about confiscation, as I believe any government attempts would

lead to civil war. If that happens, all bets are off anyway.

What Types Of Gold and Silver To Buy: Bullion, ETFs,

Numismatics, Etc.

First and foremost, DO NOT buy gold and silver stock ETFs like GLD or SLV.

The only people who should consider purchasing these stocks are day-traders who want exposure to

the price of gold and silver on a daily or weekly basis.

There is substantial evidence that these funds do not actually own the physical metal they lead you to

believe they do, and that multiple parties could have claim in the metal they do have on hand.

Heres a quick video from Michael on this topic:

15/25

Should You Buy Numismatic Gold And Silver Coins?

Numismatic coins are essentially collector coins.

Not only do you pay for the market price of the gold or silver content of the coin, but youre also payin

for a premium based on the perceived collectability of that particular coin.

The problem with paying that premium, is that the value of the coin is completely arbitrary and

dependent upon its perceived value in the eyes of other collectors, which can change at any given

moment. Today, even brand new coins are being passed off as collectable just because theyre

uncirculated, which is crazy.

There are many dealers out there who will try to sell you numismatic gold and silver on the basis that

they will be exempt from confiscation should that ever happen, just like they were in 1933. Well guess

what The government can change that rule anytime they want, and then their advantage disappears

instantly, and so does their value.

The bottom line is this

The world is experiencing a currency crisis, which is why people are looking to gold and silver to find

safe harbor.

Lets say that gold is currently selling for $2,000 per ounce, and you have $100,000 to invest

Would you rather purchase 50 ounces of gold bullion, or a single 1-ounce numismatic collector coin

with a price tag of $100,000?

Personally, Ill take 50 ounces of gold with an established market value, over a one-ounce coin with

questionable value any day.

In other words, I highly recommend staying AWAY from numismatic coins. Unless youre a

professional collector who knows the rules of the game, youre paying more for your metal than you

need to.


.....................................................................................................................................................


16/25

So heres what I do

When you buy metal from GoldMoney.com, youre going to get the cheapest prices possible, because

youre buying into metal straight from the refinery, without the premiums added on by dealers.

When it comes to taking personal delivery, which is what I would do first to create a foundation, you

have a few options 10 ounce or 100 ounces bars are great, and have the best price, so if you want the

biggest bang for your buck, bars are perfect.

Personally, I usually stick to 1-ounce coins. Which coins you purchase primarily depends upon the

amount of transaction privacy you want when it comes to the US government and IRS.

Heres a summary of the part of Maloneys book that explains the details

When you PURCHASE metals from a dealer, there are NO reporting requirements on your part, or

theirs. You can buy as much gold or silver as you want, and neither you, nor the dealer is required to

report the purchase. Period. Now the dealer must report the CASH transaction if its $10,000 or

greater to the IRS, but not the precious metals.

Most gold and silver dealers including Tulving, GoldMoney, and GoldSilver do not accept cash. They

use bank wires for transactions.

Now when it comes to SELLING your metal, there a few bits for consideration The IRS requires the

dealer who buys your metal to submit a 1099B report of the transaction IF you sell

25 or more 1-ounce Canadian Gold Maples, Krugerrands, or Mexican Onzas.

1 or more gold bar kilos (32.15 ounces each).

1 or more 100-ounce gold bars. Any silver bar totaling 1,000 ounces of more

Any combination of 90 percent silver coins totaling $1,000 of face value or more

Now heres the part to pay attention to

Dealer reporting requirements DO NOT apply to American Gold or Silver Eagles in ANY quantity, no

to any other metal types not listed above.

.....................................................................................................................................................

What I Buy



17/25

Now whether your purchase and sale of metals is reported or not is actually irrelevant. The only

scenario where it could come into play is if the government attempts to confiscate public metal in som

very extreme case.

Personally, Im not worried about that.

Where reporting DOES come into play, is when you sell your metals and experience capital gains.

Just as with stocks, bonds, or other investments, you are obligated to report your capital gains to the

IRS when it comes to precious metals. If you make a capital gain, the IRS wants to know about it.

So keep all of your receipts, and records when you buy and sell your metal, and get proper tax advice

from your CPA.My personal metal holdings consist primarily of gold and silver American Eagles. Back

in 2008 when the first rush to metal took place, it was nearly impossible to find any 1-ounce coins for

several months.Almost every dealer I called was back-ordered 2-3 months.

At that point, I had to purchase a 1,000 ounce bar of silver straight from the COMEX which was

delivered three weeks later. This is a lesson Ill never forget, because once the shit hits the fan and you

really NEED to buy metal, it will be too late and you probably wont be able to find them at any price.

The ratio in ounces that Ive been buying is 90% silver, to 10% gold.

Heres Why Michael And I Favor Silver Over Gold

The historical free market value of silver to gold going back thousands of years is about 12 ounces of

silver to 1 ounce of gold because there is roughly 12 times more silver in the ground than gold.

But thats changing There is less silver available today

than ever before, and the current estimates put the

available ratio at 8 to 1. Why?

While 10% of gold is used for industrial purposes, 90% o

silver is consumed in the production of electronics, and

ends up in landfills.

As you can see below, silvers availability is incredibly

low, just as demand has started to pick up momentum

.....................................................................................................................................................



18/25

To put this into perspective, the US government had a silver stockpile of 3.5 billion ounces in the

1960s. Today, it has less than 20 million, just as investor interest has started to rise dramatically sinc

2008.

Yet thanks to highly publicized fraudulent manipulation of the silver market over the past 10 years by

JP Morgan and HSBC whove sought to suppress the price of silver at any cost, silver is massively

under-valued with a current price ratio to gold at 53 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold as of Novembe

2010.

They accomplish this by selling massive amounts of silver into the COMEX market whenever the pric

starts to rise But theyre not selling the actual metal. They are selling paper future contracts.

And these two companies now have so many short contracts on silver, that they have literally promise

to deliver more than 200% the amount of physical silver that exists above ground today.

So theyve sold every ounce that exists on the planet, whether they own it or not TWICE.

In October of 2010, a class-action lawsuit was filed against JP and HSBC for their manipulation. You

can read more about the suit here

Silver Manipulation Lawsuit Posted At GATAs Internet Site

New Silver Class Action Invokes RICO Against Morgan, HSBC

Another Class-Action Silver Manipulation Suit Hits Morgan, HSBC

This price suppression has meant that the silver mining companies have not been able to mine silver

a profit for decades, and 75% of the silver than IS mined each year, is produced as a by-product from

copper, lead, zinc, and gold mining. Silver is the single most manipulated commodity on the planet,

and now that the momentum has changed and the world has started to buy physical silver for delivery

in record quantities, these two companies will get caught in a short-squeeze of historical proportions.

Once that happens, the potential high for silver will be off the charts, and could even equal that of

gold Another benefit of silver is that it has a built in safety net through its industrial use.

Strategic rare earth metals like silver that we depend upon to produce electronics can only becomemore valuable year after year as available supply continues to decrease through manufacturing and

disposal.

So as you can see, the potential upside to silver is MASSIVE, and according to Robert Kiyosaki, it is

the investment move of our lifetime. But be warned Silver is a much more speculative play. The

potential reward levels are higher, but so is the risk. If you are looking for security and stability, I

would reverse the ratio and purchase 90% gold, and 10% silver.

If you want the best of both worlds, divide your holdings 50/50.

Gold and Silver Mining StocksFortunes can be made in stocks of gold and silver mining companies during bull markets like this one

But Im not an expert on mining stocks so I havent really participated in them. If youre investing in

something youre not familiar with, you might as well go to Vegas and throw your money on the table

I also consider this point in history to be pivotal. The reason gold and silver are hitting new records, i

because the Dollar is dying and by the time this is all over, well be on a new currency, back on a gold

standard, or there will be a new reserve currency consisting of a basket of the worlds major currencie

With that kind of chaos ahead, and dont trust the stock market. I have approximately 5% of my net

worth in stocks, for purely speculative plays. For example, I own AGQ and DGP. AGQ is a leveraged

silver ETF that increases 2X over the price of silver. So if silver increases 10%, the price of AGQ

increases 20%.

DGP provides the same leverage, but for gold. Once again, if you cant hold the metal, you dont own

it, so the money I have in these stocks is Vegas money, and I only bought into them after I was

satisfied with the level of my physical holdings.

ONCE AGAIN DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PUT MONEY INTO SLV or

GLD. These are the standard ETFs for gold and silver. When people want exposure to the price of

metals within the market, these are typically what they buy because they simply dont know any bette

HUGE mistake.

There are 100s of articles and videos on the web revealing how these two stocks are essentially scams

used by the large banks like JP Morgan, to manipulate the price of metals.

Because of the well-documented fraud and price suppression schemes that have manipulated the gold

and silver markets for decades, a day will come when the physical metals market will break free from

the corrupt paper market. You will see the price of physical metal skyrocket, and the price of these

stocks drop like a rock.

If you MUST purchase stocks through your IRA, etc then Id highly recommend the two offered by

Sprott Asset Management in Canada.

The two trusts were created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold and silver

bullion. The Trusts intend to invest primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated

physical gold and silver bullion and will not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold price

One of the unique features of the Trust is the ability of Unitholders to redeem their Units on a

monthly basis for physical gold bullion.

In other words, purchasing these stocks is akin to purchasing physical metal, because you can actually

redeem your stock holdings for physical metal should you choose to do so.

The two stocks can be fund under these symbols:

PHYS This is Sprotts physical gold stock:

PLSV This is Sprotts physical silver stock: http://www.sprottphysicalsilvertrust.com/

But if mining stocks are something you want to get into, head to www.GoldStockAnalyst.com.

So now that weve talked about what Im buying, lets move on to


21/25

1. Buy physical metals you can hold first. Never store them in a bank.

2. NEVER let dealers sell you on buying metals with leverage, with a payment plan, or on margin.

If they try to, run away. (Monex.com is famous for high-pressure sales tactics around these option

Ive experienced it first-hand, and would not buy from them again).

3. I do not recommend buying collectible coins or numismatics unless you are an expert in this area.

Stick to the basics. If the dealer is pushing you toward collectibles, run away.

4. Set up a GoldMoney.com account second. I hold 50% of my metals there.

5. If you must buy stocks, Id buy PSLV or PHYS.

6. NEVER buy GLD or SLV stocks.

7. Only buy mining stocks, or leveraged stocks like AGQ or DGP with money you can afford to lose.

When I Plan To Sell

Now that you have the details of what I buy and where I buy from, lets talk about when I plan to sell

Here are the milestones Ill be looking for Once we start to approach any one of these, is when Ill

start to seriously look at selling, while simultaneously shorting GLD and SLV on the stock exchange.

Until then, Im simply buying more.

1: A true gold and silver price thats adjusted for inflation:

If you took the previous bull-market high of $850 set in 1980, and adjusted it for inflation, gold woul

need to hit $2,275 just to match that previous mark. Adjusted for inflation, silver would need to hit

$132/ounce. Yet today, the tsunami of horrendous economic challenges we face is far beyond the

challenges in 1980.

Summary Of Dos And

Donts When It Comes ToBuying Precious Metals:



22/25

2: The Real-Estate/Gold Ratio:

At the peak of the gold bull market in 1980, you could purchase a median single-family home for$42,747, or 814 ounces of silver, which was priced at $52.50, giving us a Silver/Real-Estate ratio of

814 to 1. You could essentially take 814 ounces of silver and trade it in for a home.

Today, a median single family home is $180,000. To find out the ratio, simply divide $180,000 by th

current price for an ounce of silver.

Or to get an idea of the future target price, take $180,000 and divide it by 814 That comes to a price

$221 per ounce of silver to match the ratio reached in 1980.

3: The Dow/Gold Ratio:

A third reliable indicator to watch is the Dow/Gold ratio, which simply calculates how much one shar

of the Dow is worth, compared to one ounce of gold.

To establish the ratio, you simply take the Dow and divide it by the price of gold. For example, if the

Dow was at 11,175 points, and gold was at $1,337, you would have a ratio of 8.35 to 1.

So in this example, it would take 8.35 ounces of gold to purchase 1 share of the Dow. Generally, the

Dow is undervalued in terms of gold when it costs less than 4 ounces of gold. Its fairly valued at 6-7ounces of gold during NORMAL economic times, and over-valued when it costs more than 10 ounces

of gold.

In 1929, the Dow was over-valued at 18 to 1, until the depression hit and it reverted back to 2 to 1 in

favor of gold. In 1980, we hit a 1 to 1 ratio There was a moment when gold was $800 per ounce, and

the Dow was 800 points.

Given todays economic challenges, Michael and I expect to see an eventual Dow/Gold ratio of 1 to 1

within the next few years, which could look something like $5,000 gold vs. Dow 5,000.

It will be extremely interesting to see how this plays out. The market is desperately trying to de-

leverage itself and deflate, but the Fed is refusing to let that take place, pumping Trillions into the

market to prop it up and keep stock prices inflated.

This process will only feed the inflation cycle, so we could also end up with Dow 50,000 and gold

$50,000, but that wont mean a damn thing because a gallon of gasoline will likely cost $50 by that

point.

4: When The Fed Or US Government Makes Its Move

The US has two options We can default on our overwhelming debt and unfunded liabilities whichtotal more than 100 Trillion Dollars, or We can turn on the printing presses to devalue the debt

through inflation, which is the most likely option.

Either choice leads to the destruction of the US economy.

Because inflation is the most likely scenario, there will come a time when the government will have to

make a move and either reinstate a partial gold standard to back a worthless currency, or offer a new

currency.

When I start to hear about one of these two things happening, Ill think about selling. A third scenario

is the introduction of a gold standard by another nation, but only the EURO Zone and Japan have

currency markets large enough to support such an endeavor. Because both of these countries are

essentially whipping boys of the US Federal Reserve, I dont expect them to make that kind of

unilateral decision.

And as of late 2011, the EURO is on its death-bed anyway.

When these criteria start to creep into play, Im planning to hold on to 10% of my gold and silver

permanently. Ill then sell the remaining 90% in 10% lotsThis means Ill be selling my metals in nin

different transactions over a given period of time.

Attempting to time the top of the market and sell all of your metals at that moment is impossible and

stupid. The best strategy is to sell small portions over a period of time, allowing your to safely average

your gains.

So Whats Next?

Well, as you can see, this is it This is the largest wealth transfer of our lifetime, and were in Stage 2

of 3.

Stage 1 started in 2000 when the current gold bull market began.

Stage 2 started in 2008 with the financial collapse, and the quiet accumulation of the metal

by people in the know.

.....................................................................................................................................................



24/25

Stage 3will likely begin in 2012-2013 when the public jumps into the metals in a massive way,

causing the price to go parabolic.

If youre wondering if theres still time to buy, there is While no one can predict the future, by the

time this is all over I expect to see gold top at $15,000+/ounce.

I expect to see Silver at $500-$1,000+/ounce

While it will be an extremely exciting time for those who own precious metals, it will also signal

hyperinflation, the end of the Dollar, political rebellion, and most likely war with China. :(

But remember What you do NEXT with the profits you make from selling your gold and silver at th

proper time will ultimately determine how wealthy you become
