Cashing in on a Solid
Gold Opportunity
By Michael Blaser
Have you ever heard the expressions, “Go for the Gold;
a Golden Opportunity; my word is as good as Gold; or how
about, The Gold Standard?” Every four years the Summer
Olympics rolls around and thousands of athletes around the
world train rigourously and compete for the ultimate reward,
the pinnacle of success…a Gold Medal. What’s all this fuss
about “Gold” these days, and why has it become a popular
alternative to traditional paper-backed investments? Simple…
Unparalleled demand! Gold has outperformed virtually every

our currency is continually shrinking; meanwhile the cost of

you been out to dinner lately? The cost of going out to eat
these days is definitely on the mind of the average American.
Now, it is more critical than ever to get out of harm’s way and
position your portfolio for prosperity and success.
Gold is not… an investment. It doesn’t pay dividends or
interest. Instead, consider gold like an insurance policy for
your investment portfolio that protects your purchasing power
on every-day goods and services. Your financial assets should
be durable in ALL market conditions. The ‘Gold Standard’ to
durability and success has proven to be a healthy position in
physical gold and silver. Those who are familiar with the pre-
cious metals markets agree that for the investor with an eye on
the long term, there is no bad time to acquire gold. No, we’re
not talking about paper gold, leveraged gold stocks or ETFs.
