24KT Gold Bullion Bar

With all the recent Mideast turmoil, world-wide economic uncertainties and now the recent devastating tsunami in Japan, turning to Gold & Silver Bullion has never been more critical and important.  Check out this scenario:  You’re traveling abroad on business or pleasure and you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being stranded in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia or Japan.  With a natural disaster or political uprising, the banking systems we’re accustomed to come to a sudden stop.  Banks close to protect themselves or are unable to operate because the power grid is down.  ATM machines do not work, credit card machines are off line, business shut down or are unable to open.  This scenario will strand you with a credit card and a couple hundred bucks in your wallet.  If you’re one of the lucky ones that are not killed or hurt, you might try to flee the country immediately and catch an unscheduled flight to safety.  But, guess what?  It costs more than the two hundred dollars you have in your wallet and credit cards are now useless as demand shoots the price sky high.

When traveling abroad–and even in the U.S.  I always make sure I have one or two one ounce Gold American Eagle Coins in my possession.  It’s no larger than carrying a couple of Eisenhower Dollar Coins.  At today’s gold prices, this would compute to about $2,800 in liquid cash.  If I was not able to convert the gold or silver dollars into hard cash at a currency exchange, in uncertain times, most vendors would accept the gold as payment for their much-needed service(s).  An alternative would be to carry four 1/2 ounce coins that are individually valued at $700 each. This actually would give you more flexibility in the event you couldn’t convert the gold to cash.  You could use each coin as needed to broaden your reach and help deliver you to safety.

I think if I posted this column three months ago many would say “doomsdayer, paranoid, cooky”  and the like.  Frankly, I wouldn’t blame you.  We all get accustomed to our cozy way of life and block out the doomsday possibilities.  It’s a natural human response.  But, today, this scenario seems much more plausible.  There are tsunami warning all along the western shore of the U.S. from Oregon to San Diego.  I think we all agree, nothing major or very serious will happen, but, non the less, we’re all on alert.  If the predictions are wrong and a larger-than-expected wave hits downtown L.A. it could very possible shut down parts of the city, the power grid, the ATMs and many banks.  We all know that many Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have very little or no savings at all. If you are one of the better prepared ones and have a healthy checking and savings account, you might not have access to it for a frightening period of time.  If a disaster did hit L.A. I would want to have a lot of cash reserves and physical gold on hand in case I had to protect and support my family in an extended financial crisis or had to make a quick exodus  This, of course, would be if I was lucky and fortunate enough to survive being caught in an unfortunate disaster of uprising.

If this makes sense to you, i would strongly suggest to start researching the best and most cost effective ways to begin investing in gold and silver.  Investing in these precious metals is not only designed to add more wealth to you and your family, it also serves to protect you against any future perils–natural or man-made.

If you would like information on how to begin, please feel free to contact me via this website, my email or telephone.  I’m more than willing to help anyone who wants to begin to protect themselves.  Have a blessed day.  Perry Lewin
