See all formats and editions

$10,000 Gold is far more than a financial book. It is a tool of survival and prosperity. It leads the listener to a deeper understanding by showing the global economic and demographic trends that support a rational prediction for gold’s future value. $10,000 Gold advocates ownership of physical, uncompromised bullion and explains the benefits of a safe haven that has preserved wealth for more than 5,000 years.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I choose this book because of my limited knowledge on investments and my interest in gold stocks and gold bullions. Nick Barisheff really know what he is talking about and gives cogent reasons for going back to gold-backed dollars. I knew that the world economy was in bad shape but never thought that it was so close from collapsing, I am convince that Nick Barisheff is right and I hope that some of the world leaders, banks and market experts read this book before it is too late.

An Informative, educational, challenging discussion on Gold. Nick Barisheff provides a historic background to the gold mining industry and to the metal itself, and how it came to be so precious. His arguments are illustrated with charts and statistics taken from leading sources. The book does not hide Mr Barisheff's convictions that gold is a serious contender for a place in every investor's portfolio.While the text is serious, it is not a textbook and I found it easy to read and comprehend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thorough, thoughtful, and rational case for bullion ownership
Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2013
From the perspective of a career investment industry professional, I believe that $10 000 Gold is very meaningful and important book. It is imperative that the investment community (professionals and general investors alike) continue to "wake up" to the reality of what is happening to our financial markets and our global fiat currencies, and consider taking steps to manage and protect our assets accordingly. This book is articulate, well researched, and well written. In addition to thoroughly outlining the merits of pure, fully allocated, and unencumbered bullion in a well balanced portfolio, Nick's book also serves as a wake up call for readers who my be unaware, or unwilling to reflect on the many converging global trends that will contribute to an eventuality that is much more significant and concerning than any of the individual risks or trends in of themselves. As someone who is deeply skeptical of the murky waters of "doomsday" type journalism that occasionally accompanies the topic of gold , I was very impressed at the professional, factual, and completely rational tone in which this message is delivered. In my experience, after 2008, much of the general public senses in their "gut", if not in their "intellect", that something is seriously wrong with their financial markets and the status quo. Nick Barisheff clearly and articulately lays out the case and the process for bullion ownership as one of the best sources of wealth "protection" in very rapidly changing times. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in doing due diligence on the topic of bullion ownership.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good education, just watch out for gold-bugs when making your financial decisions.
Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2015

A good book for anyone interested in learning about the history of gold and how it plays into the modern world. However, its more "broken clock" material for anyone who has been into the gold and silver game after the financial collapse of 2008-9. Nick is quite frankly, a gold bug, and this becomes obvious if you have ever listened to other comparable types like Mike Maloney, Peter Schiff and so fourth. Just reading things like "money must be a store of value" is the number one gold bug line. Not to say that isn't a factual statement, as precious metals have maintained value over long periods of time, but this is such a common tactic to scare people into buying gold and silver. Its very important to take this statement not too directly because frankly, gold and silver aren't really investments, and have collapsed in price heavily over the past few years (When measuring it in DOLLARS). However, that does not mean that the VALUE of gold or silver have changed, whats really happened is the currencies have gotten stronger (particularly, the US dollar, which is currently the worlds reserve currency, and in most cases the US dollar plays a major role in where gold/silver is headed). In retrospect, if you price gold in other currencies, such as the Euro or Ruble, the value of gold has actually risen quite dramatically. i.e. the currencies have gotten weaker, therefore it takes more Euros or Rubles to PURCHASE the same amount of gold due to the same underlying factors.

So, in the book Nick uses the title of $10,000 gold to catch your attention. That sounds abstract or exciting, but you need to keep in mind that if gold was ever at this price, it might not mean its value has actually INCREASED against everything else in society. You have to be constantly measuring many, many things, and believe me it is NOT easy. What I'm getting at is, to clear up this statement, is sure gold COULD go to $10,000 per ounce, which from its current price would be ~10x higher, however when this happens could be at any point and it really depends on the economic circumstances. In other words, if gold went to $10,000 in a huge inflation, and a $100,000 home today went to $1 million over the same period of time, nothing changes in terms of its value, its stayed the same, just the PRICES have changed. Price vs value is a very important thing to understand (everything is going up in price, but certain things are going up more over the same period of time, therefore, certain things are going up in value more than others).

Now when I say above that gold/silver aren't really "investments", what I mean by this is that they have no liabilities or any real risk. No company or board of executives overlook gold. When you own, its yours, its a "free market" product that comes out of the earth and it can never go to zero like a stock or other paper investment could. Its just different, its a hard asset, and it performs well when their are issues in the banking system and when the national currencies get weaker in terms of their indexes and inflation/deflationary periods.

Nick also covers quite heavily on global economics, the banking system, gold ownership and other major subjects. This is still a very educational book, but I'm writing this review because I want people to understand that many of these gold guys constantly spew the same information. They will always talk about "end of the world" style scenarios with the currencies, but they'll never mention that all these gold dealers happily take your "worthless paper currencies" for gold and silver. In the end, if you have lots of time on your side (I'm in my early 20s as of this review), gold and silver are GREAT long term holds. No doubt about it. There is a great chance that gold and silver will eventually revalue themselves the same way they did back in 1980, but this happens very very few times and a lot of things need to line up for it to happen. Just be careful, don't get scared of your US dollars or your Canadian dollars just because these gold guys will say they have "no value", its really a bunch of scare tactics and the dealers profit huge of gold/silver premiums on physical bullion, and this is a fact. Thanks for reading.

Nick Barisheff's "$10,000 Gold: Why Gold's Inevitable Rise is the Investor's Safe Haven" argues that people should buy gold bullion for wealth preservation.

The book offers a bit of history. Historically, just about every fiat currency that has existed were devalued to extinction. Since the dollar is a fiat currency, the dollar might meet the same fate. The only metal that retained its value is gold.

The book examines factors that could lead to the dollar's demise, such as military spending, aging population, unemployment, and so forth.

The book dispels myths about gold; myths that try to dissuade investors from buying gold.

The book argues that the best gold asset for wealth preservation is gold bullion. The book mentions the cons associated with other gold assets such as gold ETF's, jewerly, gold mining stocks, futures contracts, structured note products, digital gold currency, bullion funds, certificates and pooled accounts, and numismatic coins.

The book also provides reasons why gold didn't perform well between 1982-2000.

Besides gold, the book pushes for silver and platinum as well. The book details the fundamentals of silver and platinum.

This book is like "Currency Wars" by Jim Rickards. Barisheff discusses in the book the origins of the petrodollar and how the petrodollar was used by U.S. to gain more dominance in the currency market. Barisheff also discusses the huge demand for physical gold in Asia and a shift of gold assets from the Western world to the Eastern world. Barisheff Barisheff has read "Currency Wars".

One of the things I suspected about gold was that the gold price could be manipulated. This book reveals how the price of gold was manipulated in the past.

On a side note: I learned that I cannot invest in the BMG Bullion of which the author is president and CEO. Unless you can get an exemption from the U.S. government, the fund is closed to U.S. retail investors. Can't really say that the author is trying to push his product.

I wonder if I'll live long enough to see $10,000 gold. I don't think the author gives a prediction when $10,000 gold will occur. Actually, I am not sure if I want to see $10,000 gold. The U.S. could be a basket case nation by then.

I was surprised with this book. This is not a typical book about buying gold. I though I knew enough about gold that I thought the book would be a rehash of what I already knew about gold. I learned a lot of new stuff. The book is a little pricy. There were a couple things I disagreed with. Despite this, the book is still a good book. I would recommend this book to those who want to invest in gold and to those who are on the fence with gold.

This book will tell you everything you wanted to know about gold but were afraid to ask. This book ain't cheap but it has helped me to get a lot of questions that I had answered.
My husband and I are both 65 years old and scared of the stock market. We don't think it is where we want our retirement funds tied up that's for sure. At this point in our lives it could live us with nothing.
We feel that gold is where part of our funds should go. The other side of that equation is that we don't think that that is where ALL of our resources should go because we don't feel like gold will go up and up and up.
On the other hand, this book is helping us to see that it is really a safe investment.
If you are wondering, like we are, I think this book will answers a lot of your questions and give you some insight you don't have before reading it.
Highly recommended.

I recommend it for keynesians too because Nick Barisheff's logic is irrefutable IMHO. I've been a Gold bull for a while. Any doubts that I have had about my beliefs were quickly erased. I even learned quite a few thing I didn't know. Overall this is the 2nd best book that I have read on economics behind Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics. Mr. Barisheff lays down his case for Gold in a very clear & logical manner and includes many historical and current events to support it. After reading this book, if u aren't convinced that this fiat system we are in is a sitting time bomb then I don't know what will. Some quotes from Gerald Celente even popped in my head during my reading. He once said "The game is rigged" and "If you don't have it (assets) in your own possession, then you don't own it." I 100% agree with him. U can either go down with the ship or do what u can to protect yourself before it is too late!

Read this a few years back and really enjoyed it. The author clearly did his research on precious metals, economics, and the history of the US dollar. Precious metals investors are still a minority among the general population, but I expect that will change as we head into times of greater inflation.

Gold, silver, coins, and currency have a long and rich, but troubled history. Anyone who has read this or similar books will be miles ahead of anyone else in the event of a currency crisis.
