he price of gold has been rising steadily in the last few months as the following chart will attest. In fact, the price has remained above $1,100 in the last few weeks. This is the first time in history that has happened. Something is happening here. Something really big is happening. What's more important here is that there's an opportunity for you to make money – right here and now. |

So be sure to read every word of this article because you will discover why investing in gold can help you achieve your goals faster than you can ever dream of. You will also discover why you must educate yourself about it before venturing into it, ideally before investing a single cent. See, while the prospects in gold is certainly shining bright, the risks are also higher here. If you chose wrongly, instead of making money, you could actually lose it all.
Next point: The demand for gold has consistently been higher than the supply in recent times. (Even when the demand is lower than supply, the difference is very small.) And as you already know, when demand exceeds supply, the result is higher prices.
Further, with the latest events happening around the world, which include a whopping budget deficit in the US, relentless printing of money by the Federal Reserve, uncertainty of the Euro, war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fact that central banks all over the world are moving away from the dollar, the prospects for gold gets even better.

Now let me state that you can invest in gold on your own. Yes, you can do it on your own and you don’t need anyone’s help. It’s not rocket science. But I must add that it can cost you a lot of money if you chose wrongly.
“Guessing is cheap, guessing wrong is expensive.”
A billboard I saw in Melbourne
I know this to be true because that was exactly what happened to me when I first started out.
Some years ago, a local bank introduced the Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins to Malaysia. At about the same time, a few articles on gold appeared in the newspapers. Most if not all the articles were promoting the virtues of gold: that is it ‘real’ money, that it holds its value well, that it can be used to diversify your assets, that it was what the investors in the west bought, and on and on. Being a novice investor at that time, I was captivated by the concept. Further, gold coins were something new and exotic, which only added to the aura. So in the excitement, I bought a couple of coins.
Lo and behold, the price of gold went nowhere for the next three years!
“Hey, what happened here?” I remember asking myself then. I thought the articles said that gold was a solid investment. This plus all the other positive points about gold made me think that I was on a sure thing. But that did not happen at all.
Instead of rising, the price remained pretty much the same as when I bought them. This meant I lost money as the coins paid no dividends and the value of my ringgit was eroded by inflation. (Lucky me for not having much money! If I had a lot of money then, I would have bought a lot of coins and would have lost a whole lot more!)
So I finally gave up and sold the coins after the three years.
I asked myself again: “What did I do wrong?”
After all, I did some research before buying it. And there is no doubting that gold is a solid investment.
Now I know the answer. Yes, I did the research. But the ‘research’ was reading what was available in the newspapers at that time. That was it as there was no other information that was available. Little did I know that the write up in the papers came from the people selling the products, which needless to say were highly skewed for the products. Yes, the articles were ‘planted’, as many articles in the newspapers and magazines are. So though the product was good, the timing was lousy and so I lost money. Well, we all live and learn!
Of course, much water has since passed under that bridge. Today, I know better, a whole lot better.

After my interest in gold was revived after talking to a wealthy friend, I started to research the product. And this time, it was serious widespread homework, research and analysis. I committed myself to learning all I can about gold – the history, users, uses, production, trade, and the all-important supply and demand. I studied past bull and bear markets, plus the events and people that caused them.
I read many books and magazines on the subject matter, attended talks on it, logged on to many websites and talked to many people involved in the business. In short, I did not depend on one or two sources. I listened to what people said but I checked and verified the data with others as well.
In the process, I discovered a couple of interesting points about gold (as I always do every time I conduct research on a particular product). One example is the often quoted statement about gold – that it is the best possible hedge against inflation. In fact, this statement or something along this line is mentioned in practically all the websites you can find on gold, including those belonging to the local banks. (Don’t take my word for it; check it yourself.)
This statement is incorrect. While there is no denying that gold holds its value well during periods of hyper inflation, it does not necessarily maintain its value during periods of normal inflation. As an example of this, after the high of $850 in January 1980, despite the ups and downs, gold lost some 70 percent of its value in the next 20 years in the US. (The inflation rate in the same period ranged from a high of 13.58 percent in 1980 to a low of 1.55 percent in 1998.)
Next, much of the news about gold came from the people involved in the trade. And they are about as objective as the people who ‘invested’ in Swisscash! Even when the prices have been at the same level for years on end and are going nowhere, they will say that the price is going to go up soon, and will justify that with the flimsiest of reasons. And what’s even funnier (to me at least), they will promote the product they are selling to the sky, and ignore everything else. If they are saying that ETFs are the way to go, you can bet your last ringgit that they are selling ETFs. If they are saying that numismatic coins is the best choice when investing in gold, again you can bet your last ringgit that they are selling numismatic coins. (Again, you don’t have to take my word here; you can verify this for yourself easily.)

Worse, some of the information that is being shared by some commentators out there can lead you to serious ruins. This statement is funny until it happens to you!
Let’s talk about the free advice of taking loans to invest in gold. You borrow RM100,000 at an interest rate of 8.75%. Buy gold @ $1,000 per oz (approximately RM3,500). When the price goes up to $1,500 per oz, sell all the gold, pay back the loan, and enjoy the profit. What could be easier?
If life was that simple and straight forward, we will ALL be multi-millionaires! What is wrong with this concept is that it is assuming the price of gold will continue to go up and up and up. No downs in the equation at all. Or in other words, there is no risk in gold at all.
And as you know, that is a major major error. When we talk of investments, there are two elements – return (which is the fun part) and risk (the not-so-fun part). And because risk is not so much fun, most people do not want to talk about it or choose to forget about it. Unfortunately, whether we talk about it or not and whether we forget about it or not – it’s there. And it is very real. Risk is ever present in every investment. As tens of thousands of people have found out the (very) hard way when they lost the shirts on their backs making investments.
Likewise, there is risk in gold investment as well. In fact, the risks here are higher than most other investments. Now while we cannot avoid it, we should not compound the problem by borrowing money to invest in it.
(So now you know one critical thing about gold – don’t borrow money to invest in it!)
To summarize this section, much of the information that the public is getting on gold are biased, loaded and yes, incorrect.
This being the case, it is any wonder that the public is confused when it comes to gold. Conflicting data, flying freely and happily in the face of reality (yes, it does sound something like what the CIA would do!). And because of the confusion, instead of making money, most people wind up losing money investing in gold. In fact, some people lost ALL the money that they invested in gold! What a tragedy.

Okay, enough of the tragic news. Let's get back to our main story and the good news.
Once I was satisfied with the research and data collection, I made a decision to invest in gold again. So I started buying into gold – before the recent rally started. Unlike the first time, this time I was going in with both eyes wide open. And today, I'm happy to report that the recent climb in prices is adding a wide smile on my lips.
What's even better is that you can have the same result for yourself. Yes, it's not too late for you to enter the market, and make money from gold.
While the price of gold will obviously not shoot straight up to the heavens (no product does), based on the current situation, it would not be too much to assume that it will rise further in the coming weeks. So much so that it would be a tragedy for you not to get a piece of the pie – especially since you've been told about it already. The opportunity is here and now, and it's right in front of you. In fact, the only question is not whether you should invest in gold, but which product to choose?
At the same time, I also know the questions ringing in your head:
Ask no more because all these questions and more will be answered. You'll be happy to note that I'm starting a new workshop just for you – The Gold Rush Workshop. In this full-day workshop, I'll reveal the secrets of success in gold: from the history, the users, uses, production, trade, supply and demand and most critical of all, where and how to invest.
“For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out.”
Oprah Winfrey

Here's a partial list of the content that will be covered in the workshop:
And in case you missed it, I will reveal the disadvantages of investing in gold. This is NEVER done by the people selling it. It’s not all roses, you know. For example, the price of gold remained at $35 from 1935 to 1971 (a period of 36 years!) Anyone who did not know this, and invested in gold at that time based on the grand theories about gold being a safe haven, an asset diversifier and a good hedge against inflation would have lost a lot of money (the value ravaged by inflation). So yes, invest in gold but make sure you know what you are doing by educating yourself in the subject first. Otherwise, you could be waiting for another 36 years to get back your money!
