GOLD AND SILVER SAFE HAVEN INVESTMENTS

Hi, Im Dr Marc Dussault and Im here with Peter August, Managing Director of Australian Bullion Company. And as you can see I have a blackberry mobile phone and I have some gold and silver bullion coins and some bars as small as this over here, 20 ounce, 10 ounce, I have a 1 kilo here and a 5 kilo which as you can see is quite heavy.

It has a good feel to it.

I know, I just love doing that and Im sure you can hear that on the video. Peter, really in the next 60 to 90 seconds

Sure.

Why would someone invest in gold or silver bullion compared to the stock market or property market?

Safety, safety, safety; okay, youve got the ultimate safety, the ultimate safe haven investments here.

Because its physical, because you can touch it, you can go to your safe and take a look at your coins and your bars and you know

You know how much youve got in value.

Yeah.

Now as currencies depreciate, as there might be political risks happening around the world, you know that youve got something tangible, thats highly liquidable at any time.

And that means that you can basically buy and sell it whenever you want.

Correct.

If you were to take a 1 ounce gold coin about a year ago, you would have sold that for about I think you were telling me $900.

Yes.

Now, in November 2009, its about $1,100, actually $1,200 Australian.

1,200 plus.

1,200 plus. So you can see that thats a tremendous gain in a very short period of time. But this is an upward trend because this is physical. And I keep doing this on purpose because thats why you want to invest in bullion; because its actual physical asset that you can touch. And thats the amazing thing is

Its outside the clutches of government manipulation.

Absolutely. Its hard, you touch it, whenever its on the table you cant help yourself but literally pick it up, one because obviously it looks great and its gold, I mean come on, gold.

I love it.

You know; but from an investment point of view that tangible aspect of it is something that you really want to start considering for your portfolio. Just one last thing, you used to recommend people have about 10% of their portfolio in bullion

Thats correct.

In precious metals; and youve revised that now to

15 to 20%.

To 15 to 20%. And you recognize that with the global financial crisis and geopolitical forces

Youre very good Marc.

Yes I know, Ive been reading my thesaurus, and Ive been watching the other YouTube videos that explains all of this, that this really is something that gives you peace of mind as an investor.

Correct.

Youre seeing a lot more demand from private investors arent you?

Absolutely. And I mean were not the only ones that are seeing the increase in demand; that increase in demand is occurring worldwide.

And those private investors, those are dentists, those are

From [garbologists] to proctologists.

From [garbologists] to proctologists, theyre professionals, theyre families, right?

Absolutely.

There are a lot of

All walks of life.

A lot of families buy this as wedding gifts.

Were starting to see the general public take an interest. Its still early days for the general, most people do not have gold on their radar.

Yeah.

But were starting to see it; were getting a lot more enquiries from people that say, look I dont really know much about gold but you know my instinct says I need to have some.

Yeah, the instinct is its physical

Its safe.

Its a hard asset, its safe.

It protects your wealth against the ravages of inflation and other mater that weve discussed.

We have a series of other YouTube videos that explains all of these in more detail, I hope that youll click on them and watch them, theyre just a couple minutes. And I want to thank Peter for taking time

Youre welcome.

Out of his busy day today to explain these things to you because theyre very important. You want to get some of this for yourself.
