Got Gold? Get Gold The Get Gold guide book is your compass for protecting the wealth you have and surviving the unfolding Greater Depression. The U.S. Dollar is no longer backed by gold. In fact, it is not backed by anything except legal tender laws. New dollars are simply created as needed. This is known as inflation of the money supply and has the effect of devaluing every other dollar already in existence. This over-issuance of dollars causes prices to rise. Gold is money. Gold has always been money throughout recorded history. Periodically, gold is not recognized as money. It becomes recognized as money again when currencies falter. The U.S. Dollar is currently faltering and its devaluation is accelerating. Gold is the anti-dollar and the dollar is the anti-gold. As the value of the dollar erodes, it takes more of them to purchase a set amount of gold. It is clear that both gold and silver have been in a bull market since the turn of the century and will continue to be unless the devaluation of the dollar ceases. We must protect ourselves from this rapid debasement of our currency with tangible assets. The most conservative of all commodities and assets are precious metals. This book explains why you must have gold and silver to protect your wealth and provides ample advice for how to do so. Fundamentally, it seeks to answer the following questions. Is gold in a bull market? If so, how can I profit? What are the factors that will cause it to remain a bull market? When is a good time to buy? What do the experts say? How long will it remain in a bull market? (i.e. When do I sell?) What type of gold should I buy? How high is the price likely to rise? What percentage of my savings should be in bullion? How does this bull market compare to the last gold bull market? Why is gold so valuable? Isn't it just as good to hold dollars or stocks? What are some of the gold equities I can invest in? Which are the most risky and which are the most conservative? What do I need to know to not get taken when selling my gold jewelry? What are grandpa's old silver coins worth? What do I need to know when buying silver or gold? Where do I store my precious metals? What's safest? Can I hold gold in my retirement account? Is an investment in gold taxable? Protect yourself NOW before it's too late.

It is the business of science to predict. An exact science like astronomy can usually make very accurate predictions indeed. A chemist makes a precise prediction every time he writes a formula. The nuclear physicist advertised to the world, in the atomic bomb, how man can deal with entities so small that they are completely beyond the realm of sense perception, yet make predictions astonishing in their accuracy and significance. Economics is now reaching a point where it can hope also to make rather accurate predictions, within limits which this study will explain. Complete with more than 150 grafts and charts. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.

Continuing as a trader and educator in the stock, commodity and bond markets throughout the early 1900s, Wyckoff was curious about the logic behind market action. Through conversations, interviews and research of the successful traders of his time, Wyckoff augmented and documented the methodology he traded and taught. Wyckoff worked with and studied them all, himself, Jesse Livermore, E. H. Harriman, James R. Keene, Otto Kahn, J.P. Morgan, and many other large operators of the day. Wyckoff implemented his methods outlined in this book, in the financial markets, and grew his account to such a magnitude that he eventually owned nine and a half acres and a mansion next door to the General Motors' Industrialist, Alfred Sloan's Estate, in Great Neck, New York (Hamptons). As Wyckoff became wealthier, he also became altruistic about the public's Wall Street experience. He turned his attention and passion to education, teaching, and in publishing exposs such as "Bucket shops and How to Avoid Them," which were run in New York's The Saturday Evening Post starting in 1922.

They say John Maynard Keynes called gold a 'barbarous relic'. They say there isn't enough gold to support finance and commerce. They say the gold supply can't increase fast enough to support world growth. They're wrong. In The New Case for Gold, James Rickards explains why gold is one of the safest assets for investors in times of political instability and market volatility, and how every investor should look to add gold to his or her portfolio. Drawing on historical case studies, monetary theory and his personal experience as an investor, Rickards argues that gold should be a part of any prudent investor's portfolio. James Rickards is the bestselling author of Currency Wars and The Death of Money. He is a portfolio manager at West Shore Group and an adviser on international economics and financial threats to the Department of Defence and the US intelligence community. He served as facilitator of the first-ever financial war games conducted by the Pentagon.

First imported to America more than five hundred years ago and propagated on a small scale until the eighteenth century, cocoa is now one of the most heavily traded food commodities in the world. While potentially very lucrative, trading in cocoa remains a highly complex--and risky--venture, rendered even more so today by a sweeping tide of changes that has dramatically altered its landscape. In The International Cocoa Trade, the first comprehensive resource of its kind, commodity expert Robin Dand provides an all-encompassing guide to the global cocoa industry, delineating and clarifying its various intricacies for all who operate and trade within it.

Far more sophisticated than it was just a decade ago, the cocoa market has undergone major shifts--low prices, a decrease in the number of companies trading, and an increase in risk levels--that have not only altered the manner in which its key players conduct business, but have necessitated a better grasp of industry fundamentals by all those involved in the production, trading, and distribution of cocoa. As Dand points out, "The requirement of understanding the cocoa trade is not limited to those in the string of buyers and sellers. There are others outside this chain that now have larger roles in cocoa than in the past, in particular the banks, but also the shipping companies and warehousekeepers."

In this complete resource, Dand helps all links in this "chain"--exporters, dealers, brokers, bankers--achieve a better understanding of the market by providing a complete and accessible survey of all its essential components. Casting a wide net, The International Cocoa Trade offers a wealth of information on a variety of important topics, including the history and agronomics of cocoa, exchange rules, trading procedures, prices, and contract specifications. Here's where you'll find in-depth coverage of: Cocoa production--its history, evolution, and recent trends Quality assessment--the cut-test, fault definition and standards, methods of achieving quality cocoa The actuals market--export marketing, trade associations, marketing boards, processing Terminal markets--organization of futures markets, players, trading techniques, options, strike prices, regulatory bodies Contracts--weight and delivery terms, physical option contracts, forms and performance Consumption and stocks--the uses of cocoa, factors affecting consumption, assessment of stock levels, visible and invisible stocks, the International Cocoa Organization and the Buffer Stock.

Packed with numerous charts, graphs, and tables, and supported by a complete appendix that covers such vital cocoa contracts as AFCC, CAL, and CMAA, The International Cocoa Trade provides an up-to-date and incisive overview of a market that has grown and changed considerably over the past few years. An indispensable resource for everyone involved in the international trade of cocoa.

"Over the past few years the cocoa market has had to alter its manner of operation. . . . A]ll those in the chain of trade, from the exporter, dealer, broker through to the factory not only have to improve their understanding of the market but also some of the difficulties faced by others in the commodity. It is hoped that this book will help all involved in the international trade of cocoa to achieve this."--from the Preface.

Kate Kelly, acclaimed journalist and author of Street Fighters, investigates the world of commodities traders When most of us think of the drama of global finance, we think of stocks and bonds. But commodities? Crude oil and soya beans? Copper and wheat? What could be more boring? That's exactly what the elite commodity traders want us to think. They don't seek the spotlight. They don't want to be as famous as Warren Buffett. Their astonishing wealth was created in obscurity, because they dwell in private companies or deep within large banks and corporations. But if the individuals in the commodities boom have gone unnoticed, their impact has not. Prices of raw materials have exploded. Are the big traders jacking up the cost of petrol, food, and essentials bought by people around the world? How did such immense power end up in the hands of a few? In this riveting book, Kate Kelly takes us inside the inner circle that affects so many things we all depend on. Following a trail from New York to London to Dubai, from hedgefunds and banks to brokers and regulators, she reveals the fullest ever picture of the men who gamble with our future every day.
