The new year has ushered in a remarkable and unexpected turn of events for gold. It is up significantly in four of the seven top currencies (the euro, British pound, and Australian and Canadian dollars), up respectably in two others (U.S. dollar and Japanese yen), and down slightly in the last (Swiss franc).

These charts and the significant gains in gold's value in a very short time demonstrate amply the value of gold as a hedge, not just against inflation but against sudden currency devaluation and systemic financial and economic risks as well. ...

... Though it appears that gold and quantitative easing might be directly correlated, what is really going on is that both simply are reacting to the same problem -- a bad economy with the potential systemic breakdown, not the prospect of inflation. Central banks respond by printing money. Investors respond by buying gold.

Direct Ownership and Storage of Precious Metals
Outside the Banking System in Zurich and Singapore

Goldbroker.com is a precious metals investment company that enables investors to own and store gold directly in their own name (no mutualized ownership) in Zurich and Singapore.

Goldbroker's clients are not exposed to any counterparty risks. They own gold and silver in their own names (the ownership certificate cites the name of the investor and serial number of his bars) and they have storage accounts opened in their own name as well. So Goldbroker.com's storage partner knows the exact identity of each investor. Goldbroker.com doesn't store in the name of its clients; rather, Goldbroker's clients store personally. All investors have direct access to their gold and silver bars.

Goldbroker.com was launched in 2011 so that investors would avoid any counterparty risk when investing in physical gold and silver.

Goldbroker.com is listed among GATA's recommended monetary metals dealers. (http://www.gata.org/node/173)
