Welcome to Gold Trends Bullion Exchange

Put yourself on a bullion standard

During troubled financial times, like we see today, investors have always sought to protect their capital by moving into more trusted assets such as gold and silver. If you're looking for protection against fiscal irresponsibility and a collapsing dollar, then gold and silver is your ultimate investment.

Unlike Stocks and bonds, it's value will never go to zero. Since 2001's lows, gold has increased over $500, while silver prices have tripled. Several analysts believe gold could surpass $1,500 per ounce in the coming years and perhaps rise to as much as $2,000 per ounce. Silver is predicted by some analysis to reach $50.00 per ounce. Some of the factors identified by precious metals analysts which may positively affect future gold prices include:

1. The falling U.S dollar. The dollar has fallen to record lows against a number of major currencies. Many experts expect the dollar to fall further as the Federal Reserve continues to lower interest rates to prevent the U.S. economy from falling into recession. Analysts believe a falling dollar generally results in higher gold prices.
2. According to the World Gold Council, global demand for gold is outstripping supply. While supply "remained constrained" global demand for gold is up 37% from last year. Fundamentals regarding supply and demand should send gold prices higher.
3. Foreign governments are shifting their dollar reserves to gold. Foreign governments and banks hold large amounts of U.S. Treasuries. China alone holds approximately Five Trillion U.S. dollars. According to experts, even a modest move from dollars to gold and other commodities could drive the dollar lower and gold prices higher.
4. Rising prices, especially in the first half of 2008, and slowing global economic growth have caused oil demand growth to slow dramatically. The recent announcement by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to lower its production target by 1.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d), effective November 1, is aimed at offsetting this lower oil demand and stabilizing prices at or above recent levels.

Future price levels will primarily depend on the magnitude and duration of the economic downturn as well as OPEC and non-OPEC behavior. The condition of the global economy is expected to remain the most important factor driving world oil prices. More importantly now is the need for investors to protect their assets while making consistent returns with Precious Metals.

For thousands of years, gold has been valued as a global currency, a commodity, an investment and simply an object of beauty. As financial markets developed rapidly during the 1980s and 1990s, gold receded into the background and many investors lost touch with this asset of last resort. Recent years have seen a striking increase in investor interest in gold. While a sustained price rally, underpinned by the fact that demand consistently outstrips supply, is clearly a positive factor in this resurgence, there are many reasons why people and institutions around the world are once again investing in gold. This website provides you with the background to these reasons and describes the defining characteristics of the gold market from an investor's point of view.

Gold's extensive appeal and functionality, including its characteristics as an investment vehicle, are underpinned by the supply and demand dynamics of the gold market.

Demand for gold is widely spread around the world. East Asia, the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East accounted for 72% of world demand in 2007. 55% of demand is attributable to just five countries - India, Italy, Turkey, USA and China, each market driven by a different set of socio-economic and cultural factors. Rapid demographic and other socio-economic changes in many of the key consuming nations are also likely to produce new patterns of demand... Read More on Demand / Production

Investing in Silver

Did you know that pure silver is too soft to withstand constant wear, so it is usually mixed with copper before it is made into commercial items? Or that silver is not affected by moisture, dryness or vegetable oils, but sulfur turns it black? While this kind of info is interesting, is it really the kind you need to make a smart investment?

It is estimated that more than 95% of all the silver ever mined throughout history has already been consumed by industrial use. That silver is gone forever, unrecoverable at any price. In 1900, there were approximately 12 billion ounces of silver in the world. Today, that figure has fallen to about 300 million ounces of above-ground, refined silver. This means that at current prices, it would only take about four billion dollars to purchase all of the above-ground silver in the world today. The obvious point is that silver is a highly rare and limited commodity currently trading at prices that soon will be part of its history.

There may never be a better time to buy silver bullion than right now. World demand for silver for industrial, medical and investment uses now exceeds annual silver production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles are low and are reported to be shrinking rapidly. For these reasons, many feel silver bullion represents an outstanding investment opportunity.

Silver bullion is an increasingly popular commodity utilized by those who appreciate tangible, reliable investments. Luckily, that means there is a lot of info about investing in silver available online. At Certified, Inc., we enjoy educating potential investors about the pros and cons of this volatile market.

You'll quickly find that most people (and websites) know a lot about collectible silver coins, but this type of silver coin is not usually a good investment. Silver bullion, which also comes in coin form, is a much better investment because its value is tied to actual silver prices.

You'll of course want to buy low and sell high to earn a return. Or perhaps you want to hold onto your silver for a while for a possible greater return down the line. Do you have the info needed to make this kind of decision? This is where Certified, Inc. comes in. We offer the latest market news and financial updates tailored towards precious metal investing.

Investing in Platinum

Platinum's rarity as a metal has caused advertisers to associate it with exclusivity and wealth. "Platinum" debit cards have greater privileges than do "gold" ones. "Platinum awards" are the second highest possible, ranking above "gold", "silver" and "bronze", but below Diamond. For example, in the United States a musical album that has sold more than 1,000,000 copies, will be credited as "platinum", whereas an album that sold more than 10,000,000 copies will be certified as "diamond". Some products, such as blenders and vehicles, with a silvery-white color are identified as "platinum". Platinum is considered a precious metal, although its use is not as common as the use of gold or silver. The frame of the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, manufactured for her Coronation as Consort of King George VI, is made of platinum. It was the first British crown to be made of this particular metal.

Platinum is used as an alloying agent for various metal products, including fine wires, non-corrosive laboratory containers, medical instruments, jewelry, dental equipment, electrical contacts, and thermocouples. Platinum-cobalt, an alloy comprised of roughly 3 parts platinum and 1 part cobalt, is used to make extremely strong permanent magnets. Platinum-based anodes are used in ships, pipelines, and steel piers.

Platinum's supply/demand fundamentals are tight. In fact, according to some estimates, if platinum mining were to cease today, there would be only about a year's supply available to industry. In contrast, above-ground supplies of gold would last nearly a quarter of a century.

Platinum's relative scarcity in the face of ever-increasing demand gives platinum incredible investment potential. Its historical price performance at one time selling at a steep discount to gold, but today, selling at a significant premium to gold makes platinum a provocative and attractive investment vehicle.

More than 50% of annual platinum production is used in the automotive industry. Platinum is a primary element in auto-catalysts that control vehicle exhaust emissions of hydro-carbons, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and particulates. Auto-catalysts convert most of these emissions into less-harmful carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapor. As developing countries such as China and India introduce new environmental legislation to combat air pollution, the demand for auto-catalysts and extremely limited supplies of platinum is sure to increase.

Platinum bullion is available from GTBE in 10-ounce bars of pure .9995 fine platinum for trading, storage or personal delivery. Each bar is produced by a leading refiner, such as Johnson-Matthey, and hallmarked to certify weight and purity.

The precious metal palladium

Palladium is a sister to platinum, a "noble metal" (member of the platinum group of metals) with some rather unique properties that ensure a place for it in industry and as a precious metal investment. This fascinating metal is tied closely with platinum from both history and its properties. Even so, important differences remain in physical properties and in today's supply and demand economics.

Palladium Bullion is the form of palladium traded for investment purposes. From palladium metal, palladium coins (or rounds) and bars are made to form a physical product that is bought or sold on the basis of the palladium content. The catch is that only one government makes bullion bars. Only Canada makes palladium bullion coins, and only a select few have issued commemorative palladium coins (which have become collector's items).

Over half of the world's annual supply of palladium comes from Russia...and the amount and status of Russian palladium supplies are state secrets. In the past, Russia has routinely withheld supplies of palladium from world markets for its own political and/or economic gain, resulting in very large and very fast fluctuations in palladium prices.

It is this historical range of prices, and the price differential between palladium and platinum at any given time, that gives palladium its attractive investment potential. The price of palladium has been, and could again be, extremely volatile, providing investors with a significant opportunity for speculative profit.

Palladium bullion is available from GTBE in 10-ounce bars of pure .999 fine palladium. Each bar is manufactured by one of the world's leading refiners, and is hallmarked to certify weight and purity.
