Private Gold And Silver vs. Fiat Currency

In times of economic uncertainty like we’re faced with today, making a case for owning private gold and silver isn’t very difficult. More and more people are coming to the realization that our paper dollars are just a symbolic representation of value, but really have no true value whatsoever.

Until August 15, 1971 at least those dollars had the backing of real money – GOLD. That was the day that President Nixon, without the approval of congress, or the International Monetary System, ended convertability of the US dollar to gold. This single act turned the reserve currency for almost all nations on the planet into a fiat currency.

Throughout history all fiat currencies ever created have failed. History tends to repeat itself, and I expect this time will be no different, only this time the whole world will be effected, not just one nation.

It’s for this reason that we’re seeing gold and silver near all time high prices. The value of gold and silver isn’t really changing though. It just takes more paper dollars to acquire it. Next time someone tells you to buy gold, or buy silver you’ll understand why.
