We are releasing our first issue of The Real Asset Report on the
11th April 2013.
The report will contain a
collection of extended articles from Head of Research, Jan Skoyles, and the
rest of the Research Desk. Circle us on Google+ to
join Jan Skoyles at 16:00 GMT for a Google Plus Hangout to discuss the
data, the details and your most pressing gold and silver related questions.
The first edition of The
Real Asset Report will look at a host of issues surrounding gold.
Highlights include:
Gold and Bitcoin, if gold is the money of history is
Bitcoin the money of the future?
Given Bitcoin’s
phenomenal rise in the first quarter of 2013, we ask if the safe-haven is now
virtual currency rather than the time-old favourite that is gold.
The US is moving to a gold standard!
It might sound surprising
but now twenty states have looked into making gold and silver legal tender.
Whilst it is unlikely to lead to the US Fed announcing the dollar will be
backed by gold it is illustrative of the growing discontent many Americans
now feel over the debasement of the US dollar. We look at the states who have
investigated using gold and silver as money, and ask how the Fed might manage
these changing attitudes towards money.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Currency and gold investment
guru, Jim Rickards, talks to Jan Skoyles
Global commentator and
go-to man for gold, Jim Rickards, gives his most insightful interview yet, in
which he runs the rule over currency wars, money printing, the on-going euro
disaster and more. Jim also gives a special focus to how individuals around
the world should invest in gold.
How much did they spend on gold?
With a great new
infographic we show you which countries saw individuals spend the most on
gold. Unsurprisingly the big spenders were in India despite the increasing
gold price, those who spent the lease were the French.
Look East for the new gold price
Recent statistics show
that China and Russia have been importing and hoarding record amounts of gold
bullion to add to their reserves. Often when discussing the future gold price
we relate it to the US, however we believe the US returning to a gold
standard is unlikely. Given the large amounts of gold imports, one has to ask
what are these nations intending to do with their gold? We look at what the
gold price will be if Russia, China and other big gold buyers announce a
gold-backed currency.
What the gold chatter is
Should Germany repatriate
their gold? Where should you store your gold? Which currency will be the most
debased by the end of 2013? These questions are answered by gold investors
around the world, who provided more than 5000 responses to our polls.

central banks and more.
