If anything at all could be considered the crux of Jim’s message, it would be: You are playing on the winning team. Gold wins in the end.

While it has felt to us as gold investors that we are swimming against a tide, and that those at the top of the “global food chain” hate gold and are trying to depress the price and destroy it, that is not the case. The scenario that is playing out now, with gold coming back as the form of wealth revered throughout the centuries, has been slowing unfolding over a period of years. Jim prefers not to think of it as a conspiracy, although he admits that most of his friends use that term, but he calls it taking advantage of opportunity. The financial “paper-based” world has structural flaws, as we all know. It is logical that the smart money people, at the top of the global pyramid of power, would find a way to isolate themselves from the destruction of fiat money markets. They know that the U.S. dollar is on life support, and there are large investors and nations who are trapped, holding vast sums of dollars around the world.

The end game is a shift from inflated “paper” financial assets to real assets. As we all know, China, India, and the other developing nations around the world will continue to require natural resources - minerals and metals, for a very long time. Paper assets are no longer the road to wealth, hard assets are. One very interesting and somewhat surprising point that Jim made, was that gold was not the entire focus in this plan. All  minerals and metals are being targeted by the people at the top of the financial pyramid. Obviously gold plays a special role in that it is “money” as well as serving its other roles.

So while it may seem that we have been fighting gold opposition, the opposition does not hate gold, and are in fact positioning themselves to own as much of it as possible, not only the above ground supplies, but more importantly its future production as well as the future production of other minerals and metals. Naturally, at that point, they wouldn’t want the price of gold to plummet back to $250 or $500 an ounce, would they?  Which leads to point # 4 . . .
