Privatize Your Wealth Today
By Jim Burg
Your right to privacy has been called "the civil rights issue of the information age,"
reports Minnesota Public Radio.
"Today Americans enjoy unlimited benefits from new technologies in our wired
world. But those wires send information in two directions, and the access to our
personal data has never been more open for abuse."
The same is true of your financial information. Your holdings in stocks, bonds, cash,
even gold (in most cases) are literally on display for the world to see today, unless
you take some specific (and legal) steps to privatize your wealth.
While gold bugs boast of the wonders of gold ownership in today's mixed-up
financial world, those who stick with only gold stocks, gold or silver ETFs or even
gold and silver bullion coins have no more privacy than equities, bonds, real estate
or cash.
In today's world of ultra-transparent investment, it may surprise you to discover that
there are only a few legitimate investment niches that offer the small investor 100%
privacy of ownership.
A shining alternative...
An excellent example is investment-grade US gold and silver coins. In addition to
being completely invisible to anyone’s prying eyes, these gems provide better
average returns than gold and silver bullion, historically.
Unlike most other major asset classes, investment-grade U.S. coins do not require
a Social Security number or 1099 IRS reporting upon either the purchase or sale. As
radio talk-show host Gordon Liddy once said, “I don’t have anything to hide, but I still
close the door when I use the bathroom.”
Americas could witness a modern banking crisis, similar to the 1933 Executive
Order which authorized President F.D. Roosevelt to declare a National Emergency
and confiscate all gold coins, unless they could be shown to have "a recognized
special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins."
In addition to being 100% private, U.S. rare gold coins are also very portable. You
can easily put a million dollars worth of rare coins in a briefcase and go anywhere in
the world to convert them into the currency of your choice. What other tangible asset
offers such a great combination of 100% privacy and 100% portability? I can think of
none, except perhaps diamonds or other raw gems, but they are not nearly as liquid,
with over 5,000 U.S. rare coin dealers in the U.S. alone.
Gold Stocks v. Tangible Gold...
Gold stocks may be a great long-term growth asset, but whenever you are
dependent upon a company's solvency or a mutual or exchange fund to maintain
liquidity, you have added another layer of risk and given up privacy.
Businessweek recently reported an "Invasion of the Stock Hackers"… "An alarmed
SEC says that teams of thieves are lifting passwords from home PCs -- and
emptying online brokerage accounts. Consumers have $1.7 trillion worth of assets
with online brokerages, says TowerGroup, a financial research and consulting firm."
Owning paper promises for real assets can pay off, but in today's increasingly
paperless world, your assets could also be wiped out with the stroke of the key on a
computer keyboard. At least temporarily your wealth could become illiquid at the very
moment you most need it, unless you have something "outside the system" so to
speak.
Physical ownership of U.S. rare gold coins alone allows you the opportunity to have
100% ownership and 100% control of your gold assets without a single worry that
your gold may also become someone else's liability.
A collectible, not a commodity...
Investment-grade U.S. gold and silver coins are not a commodity, they are a
collectible. So while the bull market in precious metals may help to propel rare coin
prices upward, buying an investment-grade coin is not the same as buying a
commodity, like sugar, wheat or even gold bullion.
Have you ever seen a 100 oz. bar of gold? Some bars are ugly and beat up and
some bars are brand new and shiny -- but they both trade for the exact same value.
Not so with collectible coins. High quality and rarity are the primary drivers.
Because the investment-grade coin market is smaller than the bullion market, it is
less prone to speculation and more geared toward being a long-term hold. This
means rare coins are one of the least volatile forms of gold to own.
Every person in America has the ability to put them self on a personal gold standard
by simply purchasing some physical U.S. rare gold and silver coins.
Virtual gold may be a great new product, but I'm recommending that clients hold
physical gold at the foundation of their diversified portfolio.
Technology is bringing us closer together, but the fragments of information about you
are also becoming much easier to piece together. Unless you take steps to privatize
a portion of your wealth today you may be revealing the most intimate details of your
life.
Charts illustrate that gem-quality (numismatic) U.S. gold and silver coins are in a
long-term bull market, like precious metals -- but rare coins tend to move up and
down more gradually. Perhaps this stability is one of the reasons WSJ, Marketwatch
and other mainstream news outlets have been so positive about this market niche
over the last year or two.
Investment grade U.S. gold and silver coins are fast becoming a new American icon
because they offer investors financial stability and profit potential. In addition, rare
coins offer privacy of ownership, a feature that more and more investors are looking
for every day.
