Book Description
During the 1980s and 1990s, when gold rocketed above $800 an ounce and silver approached $50, many believed that these upward trends would never end. But prices plummeted, misinformed investors lost millions...and savvy investors stepped in to pick up the pieces and the profits. Philip Gotthelf , who first warned that silver could fall below $4 on NBCOs Today Show and later called for declines in gold and a change in price parity for platinum and palladium, proved an extraordinary prognosticator for investors following his advice. Now Gotthelf has a new book and, whether you are new to coins, bullion, and mining stocks, or an old hand at hard asset investing, The New Precious Metals Market is a must read. From a brief history of precious metals to detailed investment strategies, this thought-provoking book explains the need and purpose of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium as our world changes and we face new challenges. Do you know which events will affect specific metals? Just as important, do you know how and when? The New Precious Metals Market delivers the special information you need to approach markets with new enlightenment and market-tested, market-proven strategies. Through the pages of this profound book, you can share the knowledge and experience of one of the worldOs most recognized analysts. Your new fascination with precious metalsNand their profit-packed possibilitiesNstarts here.

Great for the professional but a 'must' for the novice.,

This review is from: The New Precious Metals Market: How the Changes in Fundamentals Are Creating Extraordinary Profit Opportunities (Hardcover)
Wanting to diversify my portfolio I figured I needed this book. Oh, how right I was. This book gives the reader a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of precious metals which in itself would be well worth the price paid but it also provides great psychological insights into why precious metals gain and loss their luster during times of tumultuous markets. The author has an easy to understand and witty style that makes it a pleasant research vehicle. Good luck to all, Todd

THE NEW PRECIOUS METALS MARKET provides the most comprehensive and up to date analysis of precious metals currently available. This is a no-nonsense and objective review of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium as investments, trading vehicles, inflation hedges, and plain old commodities. Philip Gotthelf does not provide the typical sugar coated view that "nothing is as good as gold." Instead, he details realities facing precious metals which include digital photography's impact upon silver, new gold extraction technology, technical cycles, and even stock investing.This book avoids complexity and gets down to business. Why should you consider precious metals in your portfolio? The answer in the book is a surprise to many. Philip Gotthelf does not take the traditional line that these metals are good investments. Instead, he gives pragmatic reasons why investors should avoid accumulating hard inventories in the "new economic environment." He covers metals as monetary instruments. He touches upon scandals like Bre-X and how investors can avoid getting caught. The book is full of charts and illustrations that are clear and easy to understand. In a time when economic uncertainty is at a peak, this book is essential for anyone considering gold, silver or the other metals as investments.
