The old Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times", has particular relevance to the current epoch of U.S. history. There's a lot going on right now, much of it scary. Major investors around the world are responding to the events of our perilous age by sinking their dollars, deutschmarks and yen into gold, silver and palladium; Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and billionaire speculator George Soros to name but a few. Big financial institutions like the Central Banks of Russia and China are also leaping onto the metals bandwagon driving the price of these precious commodities ever higher.

"People the world over are losing faith in politicians, and currencies," says Marc Lubaszka, President/CEO, World Financial, a highly successful investment firm specializing in precious metals based in Studio City, Calif. "This has resulted in a flight to gold and other precious metals, a storehouse of value for more than five thousand years. Investors are taking their money out of paper assets, and putting it where it is likely to earn a better return in uncertain times."

Lubaszka explain, "It's probably best for the first time investor to begin conservatively by purchasing physical metals instead of gold stocks, which can be very volatile". According to Clearwater, Fla.-based talk show host and gold analyst, Tom O'Brien, when metals gain 20%, gold equities jump by fifty or sixty per cent. That's great when it happens but the reverse can occur as well.
