Description:
A practical guide to using gold to excel in today's overextended financial world
With American consumer debt doubling in seven years and the federal debt continuing to surge, a potential dollar crash is now talked about openly in financial circles. Although risks in financial markets have been escalating--creating a need for protection in gold--no major investment house recommends it, and gold remains the most under-owned major financial asset! Written by investment expert Shayne McGuire, Buy Gold Now discusses why the opportunity to profit in gold--and protect oneself from risk--has never been better. This reliable resource covers essential issues, including the best ways to invest in bullion, specific recommendations regarding rare coins, and stock market investments via gold and silver mining stocks and ETFs. With anecdotes from some of the world's leading financial professionals, Buy Gold Now explains why gold isn't just a defensive purchase anymore, but an investment that can outperform the markets for many years to come.
