Admittedly ambitious, this site is intended as a resource for the broadest possible audience - ranging from analysts in the gold and silver sectors to the layman who senses a changing socio-economic landscape in the world. No topic or person effecting the subject matter, however controversial, will be ignored simply because it is politically expedient to do so.

An idea prevalent throughout history and up until about a generation ago, the rule was to invest between 10% and 15% of your portfolio in precious metals - a logical concept, as historically gold and silver are negatively correlated to all things paper. With the bull markets in paper during the late 1900s, this concept was lost to the public consciousness - again, not surprisingly, as profits from paper investments were soaring and gold and silver were languishing in a brutal bear market.

At the depths of this bear market, headlines proclaimed, "Gold is a barbarous relic", "Gold is dead as an asset class" and similar titles. Anyone who adhered to the principle that gold mandated fiscal responsibility - better so than trusting in the character and beneficence of any one person or persons - was derisively referred to as a gold bug. So, as a populous, we were led to believe that what had served as money for millennia was now passé; a new paradigm had arrived and prosperity ad infinitum was a fait accompli. Well, suffice it to say, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

In the early 2000s or thereabouts, I sensed a changing tide and advised friends, family and close associates to buy physical silver and was often quoted as saying, "It's like buying milk for twenty cents that doesn't spoil." I was, of course, similarly bullish on gold but felt that silver was more undervalued. At the time, 1000 oz bars of silver could be obtained for about $4.25 per ounce; today they sell for over $20.00 per ounce. Gold was trading below $300 per ounce and is now approaching $1000 per ounce.

This brings us to the primary motivation for creating this site. Recently, several friends, family members and associates have approached me with a question: Is it too late to profit from gold and silver investments? This site is intended to provide a non-trivial answer to this question.
