Praise for The Golden Rule
"I have been around the 'hard money camp' for almost thirty years and know almost all of the writers in this book, often for decades. I have learned from them and now you can reap the accumulated wisdom of many years of these masters of the gold markets. Got gold? You should!"
—John Mauldin, Millennium Wave Investments, author, Bull's Eye Investing
"The Golden Rule contains serious analysis and arguments why every saver should hold some of his cash and assets in physical gold and gold-related investments. A fine read!"
—Marc Faber, Editor, The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report
If you don't trust Greenspan or Bernanke, Bush or Obama, Congress or any other part of the regime, to plan your economic future, own some gold. It's a personal declaration of independence."
—Llewellyn Rockwell, Chairman, Ludwig von Mises Institute
"If there's one thing American investors need to know more about, it is gold. They can either learn about it now—ahead of the curve—or later from the school of hard-knocks. Jim Gibbons thinks now is better and has done a great job gathering some of the industry's most knowledgeable experts together in one highly informative, full-spectrum package."
—Charles Goyette, author, New York Times bestseller The Dollar Meltdown
Before the recent economic crisis, some investors were leery of holding an asset such as gold, which pays no dividend and earns no income. But times have changed, and today, having gold in your portfolio is more important than ever.
Nobody understands this better than author Jim Gibbons, and now, in The Golden Rule, he has assembled an extraordinary group of experts in this field, who will help you gain a firm understanding of gold as an investment, as wealth insurance, and as a store of value.
