WHY INVEST IN K-PRECIOUS® METALS?

Gold

Gold is the precious metal par excellence and remains the ultimate safe haven asset. For thousands of years, gold has occupied a special place in the hearts and minds of people the world over. Gold is deeply embedded in the consciousness of all societies in the world. Consider the frequency with which the word gold is used to signify superiority or excellence - a gold card, go for gold, a golden era, a golden handshake or parachute, the golden mean, a gold-digger, a golden rule , a golden age, a heart of gold and the gold standard. While gold has taken a secondary role to stocks, bonds and property in the last 20 years, an unprecedented era of properity for many in the developed world, many astute financial analysts recommend that between 5% and 20% of every investor's portfolio should consist of the ultimate of hard assets gold.

The price of gold typically moves contrary to other investment vehicles, thus giving balance and protection in a changing economy. Over the long run, gold has maintained an excellent track record in maintaining its purchasing power relative to other financial assets. In addition to the security offered by gold, it is perhaps the most private asset one can hold. Your bullion purchases are never reported to any government or private agency.

"Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth."

This quote by Lord Rees Mogg, the economist & former editor of The Times & assistant editor of The Sunday Times has never been more appropriate. Recent years have seen the emergence of massive accounting corruption and corporate fraud as witnessed dramatically with Enron and more recently with Parmalat. There are increasing fears among knowledgeable circles that these scandals may be the tip of the proverbial iceberg and that there are more scandals soon to come out of the woodwork. Governments also often massage economic figures and spin a positive tone to all economic news in order to maintain investor confidence in their bonds and consumer confidence regarding the economy as a whole.

Gold is one of the few assets that represents no multinational corporation or government's liability or ability to repay.

Gold is the ultimate insurance against economic and financial difficulties. One purchases health insurance for one's family and oneself not in anticipation of severe health problems but simply in case of that eventuality. Similarly one should invest in or save in gold not in anticipation of economic or financial difficulties but simply in case of them. When we buy home insurance or car insurance we are acting out the old proverb of "hoping for the best and preparing for the worst", similarly gold is not the preserve of doom and gloom merchants rather prudent individuals who hope to protect and preserve what wealth they have been fortunate enough to gain through their hard work and or financial acumen. One does this through diversifying it into the safest asset known to man -

Silver

Silver like gold has been used as money for many centuries. It is also commonly used in jewellery and collectible coins. Silver has extremely valuable industrial uses such as malleability, thermal and electric conductivity, and its resistance to corrosion is unmatched among precious metals. Everybody knows the old expression warning against selling the 'family silver' but not everyone appreciates it's wisdom.

Silver like gold has been and is increasingly again being regarded by investment managers and financial advisers as a great financial hedge against terrorism, war, fiat currency crises, inflation, stagflation, deflation or a combination whereby the western world experiences inflation in essential goods for society to function such commodities such as wheat, grain, rice, natural gas and oil and deflation in non-essential items such luxury goods and assets like equities and property.

Platinum Platinum is more than just a hard asset, it's an investment. Platinum is also an essential industrial commodity which is used worldwide in the manufacture of 20% of all consumer goods. It has a resistance to corrosion, an extremely high melting point, excellent electrical conductivity, and high durability. It is a precious metal that is constantly used in new industrial applications and is increasingly important in environmentally friendly applications in the transport sector. 90% of world supply comes from two countries, Russia and South Africa, thus political or economic problems in either country may greatly affect the supply and thus price of this precious metal.

Gold, Silver and Platinum It is a prudent investor who searches for avenues to diversify his/her portfolio into tangible assets that possess the following characteristics:

1. Negative or weak correlation to price movements in the financial markets, especially the stock market.
2. A millenniums-old medium of exchange or monetary unit that does not represent any government's liability or ability to repay; confidence in issuing entity is 100% due to ability to assay precious metals for purity.
3. Reasonable portability should the need arise for transfer during a time of crisis; shipping and handling are also very reasonable.
4. Well-established intermediaries exist for long-term storage and insurance if holdings do not fit in safe deposit boxes or safe and secluded sites controlled by the investor.
5. Gold is an asset class which had been in a bear market for over 20 years, it was disdained by Wall Street, the majority of investors and was massively oversold. But since 2000, it is exhibiting signs of accumulation being up some 80% in four years, while breaking out to new 25 year highs.
6. Excellent liquidity with bullion markets trading continuously around the globe and no determination of market value required by investor upon resale as the price is based on a live market price and thus not the subjective opinion of an auctioneer or valuer. One can sell one's bullion at any time of one's choosing unlike a house which can be on the market for months and sometimes a buyer can pull out at the last minute and occasionally no buyers can be found for a property.
7. An asset that central banks will increasingly use to shore up confidence in sagging fiat currencies as excessively loose monetary and fiscal policies which cause inflation and the likelihood of paper money or fiat currency competitive devaluations going forward.

Now is an excellent time to acquire precious metals. Four factors could send the values of physical gold and silver assets sharply higher over the next several years:

Oil and other commodities are showing signs of inflation. Oil hit an all time high in June 2005, up well over 70% since January 2004. Many analysts predict oil will rise to the $70-$100 range this year.

Confidence in the stock market is falling. The NASDAQ is still trading at less than half its 2000 highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average remains below its levels of 4-5 years ago.
The U.S. dollar index has lost over 30% since 2002. Financial experts and the two richest men in the world (Bill Gates and Warren Buffett) are all predicting further falls for the dollar.
Gold is acting independently of all currencies. Precious metals have soared on a falling U.S. dollar. Recently, gold has also started to rise against the euro as investors turn to the yellow metal as a safe haven investment. This movement illustrates gold's excellent upside potential.
Many precious metal assets are trading at just fractions of their all-time retail highs and represent what may be real investment bargains.
