There are people who throw numbers out with NO ANALYSIS whatsoever. I could certainly be wrong, but at least I can back up my projections with...
Don't worry about this. It's not something any of us are likely to experience in our lifetimes. A global financial and economic superpower with...
Since gold will be going much higher -- $3,000 by 2030 is my prediction, $5,000 by 2035 is possible -- it will drag everything upwards that is...
Not really. If you were a dealer and you bought gold throughout the 1970's...what happened when you bought gold near the top in 1980 ? It didn't...
