HISTORY OF GOLD
Gold…The Foundation of Wealth!
From the dawn of civilization, gold’s beauty and luster has produced a rare mythical quality unmatched by any other metal. It is one of the earliest and most valued metals known to man. For centuries men everywhere have dreamed of finding gold. Men have mined it, bartered with it, and even died for it since the beginnings of civilization. These facts are not so surprising when you consider its rarity, durability and unusual properties. Today gold has thousands of uses. it can be found in everything from calculators to space craft, jewelry and much more. It is virtually indestructible, resists corrosion, blocks 98% of radioactivity, and conducts electricity. Its uses are almost endless and have just begun to be tapped.
LIMITED GOLD SUPPLY - Today some 90% of the world's gold is found in only four countries: South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United States and Canada. South Africa has dominated world gold production and accounts for about 50% of the total world supply. The Soviet Union accounts for 32%, the United States for 6%, and Canada for 3%. The rest of the world combined produces about 9%. The total yield, however, has been incredibly small. Unlike other such commodities, because of hoarding and stockpiling, each year's production is a very small part of the available supply. An estimated 2/3 of all gold on earth has already been mined. Only about 88,000 tons have been extracted from the earth in all recorded history. All of this could be formed into one cube 18 yards high. It is this scarcity, along with gold's beauty, durability, and compactness has made gold the ideal standard and store of value.
WORLD WIDE LIQUIDITY - Perhaps the most amazing feature of gold is its stability as a standard of real value. Although its value may fluctuate, history proves its buying power tends to remain the same. Gold has been the most coveted metal in the world and the single most trusted international medium of exchange for thousands of years. Trade between countries frequently is based on gold value, as is the most reliable currency. While paper currencies have been devalued, eroded by inflation, and become virtually worthless, gold has maintained its purchasing power. Gold has been the established monetary standard for centuries. During times of inflation, people have turned to gold for profit and protection. Gold, unlike paper currencies or other commodities, has retained its value during both crisis and calm periods throughout the history of civilization.
PROVEN HEDGE AGAINST INFLATION - The primary factors influencing gold prices are anticipated inflation caused by huge U.S. deficits and the diminishing power of world currencies. As people lose confidence in a government’s ability to control inflationary pressures, they turn to gold commodities. While gold prices may fluctuate from day to day in world markets, the long-term demand for this timeless treasure can be expected to continue. The current gold market conditions offer profitable opportunities. Take advantage of these opportunities and invest in gold commodities today.
HISTORY OF SILVER
Silver... Most Accommodating Coinage!
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, many different things have been used as a form of money; such as stones, salt, shells and beads. From the very beginning, silver and gold have displaced all other mediums of exchange. The invention of the printing press brought with it paper currency. No government has ever successfully substituted paper for real money, because no government can "print" silver.
NORMALLY, silver prices are anticipatory rather than reactionary. Once the forces of the inflation index begin to be felt, savvy commodities investors will buy into the market to make sure they are in position ahead of the general public. Their buying will drive silver commodities prices upward.
THE SUPPLY: New mining production is not stimulated by silver's price. Mining production is fairly fixed because over 70 percent of the silver produced is a by-product of copper, lead and zinc. Economists agree that silver consumption exceeds production, that the shortage is being supplied from private above-grounds hoards, and that the price of silver has raised dramatically as the result of it. Part of that shortage is made up from recycling jewelry, film and some electronic parts. The majority however is supplied by a diminishing world supply of silver.
THE DEMAND: Silver has chemical and physical properties, which are unique. It is the best conductor of heat, the most reflective of light and, next to gold, and the most resistant to corrosion. The Technological Revolution has transformed the metal of coin and art into a metal of electronics, photography, computers, aerospace and medicine! Silver is one of the most perfect conductors of electricity and therefore is considered an industrial metal besides a monetary metal. Since WWII, an average of 200 new uses for silver were found each year. If science and technology continue to progress, it is reasonable to assume that new uses will continue to be found.
SILVER AND INFLATION: Fifty years ago you could buy a loaf of bread for a dime. Today you still can... if it is the same silver dime. The real value of silver, like gold, hasn't changed. Only the currency changes, during periods of inflation, it takes more dollars to buy an ounce of silver as the dollar loses its value. It is said the price of silver goes up, but the value stays the same.
Silver is a store of value and therefore a protection against inflation. High interest rates tend to depress silver prices because the silver users (photo, electronic, jewelers, etc.) find it uneconomical to tie up money in inventories of silver, so they sell their stockpiles and drive the market down. However, inflation then becomes a self-correcting factor and it eventually adjusts itself. As we witness the deflationary collapse of traditional financial institutions on the one hand, the destruction of the dollar's value on the other hand, we are forced to find new avenues to put our capital for its preservation. We believe silver will be the subject of tremendous bidding for this purpose.
THE OUTLOOK for silver as a long term & short term investment is excellent. Silver prices must increase as silver users bid for the metal. For investors who seek a long-term hedge against the declining value of paper currency, as well as good profit potential, the ownership of silver is a must.

HISTORY OF PLATINUM
Platinum… Scarcest Precious Metal
Platinum, one of the world's most beautiful metals is also one of the rarest, about 100 times rarer than gold. Because platinum is both a vital industrial metal and one with limited sources of supply, it is considered a strategic metal. The Soviet Union and South Africa account for about 90% of world primary platinum production. Canada produces about 5% of the platinum supplies, and the bulk of domestic platinum supplies are obtained from reclaiming operations or import. Fears of supply interruptions have resulted in the U.S. Government holding platinum in the Strategic Stockpiles. The United States depends largely on foreign platinum supply. Since platinum is commonly found in conjunction with nickel, a costly refining process is necessary to recover even minute quantities of the metal from tons of ore. This is a primary reason for platinum's exceptionally high value. Combined with its rarity, the demand for platinum in the marketplace exceeds its free world supply, making it an extremely attractive investment.
Something of value now and in the future In spite of its rarity, platinum has established a pattern as an excellent commodity investment vehicle. Although gold and silver investing are the predominant precious metal holdings, there has been a significant increase in platinum investments over the past several years. During this period the price of platinum has risen to a high of over $1100 from its low of less than $200. Rapid demand growth and limited supplies have contributed to platinum's popularity with investors. Many investors in metals now include platinum in their commodity investment portfolio. No wonder platinum is considered an excellent investment medium; it can act as a hedge against inflation as well as provide long or short-term profit potential.
Prized for many reasons well known for its use in fine jewelry, platinum has a variety of strategic applications that add to its universal demand. Important for its catalytic properties, and resistance to corrosion, platinum plays a role in the manufacturing of gasoline, fiberglass and catalytic converters. It is also widely used in the electrical, chemical and medical industries. Growth in platinum consumption worldwide is expected to increase tremendously. Usage in established markets is increasing and new markets are constantly being developed; factors that promise to keep demand for platinum.
