The Coming Collapse Of The Dollar And How To Profit From It by James Turk, John A. Rubino (2004, Hardcover)

Periodically, the global economy shifts gears in a fundamental way, turning conventional wisdom on its head and producing new categories of winners and losers among investors. The spectacular growth of the last twenty years has slowed; and the dollar, once the world’s dominant currency, is falling in value every day. One sure winner has emerged from the debacle, however: gold. Historically a haven during times of uncertainty, gold began rising in 2001 when high-tech stocks imploded. At the end of 2003 it was up by 50 percent, trading at around $420 an ounce. With governments running up record debts and printing money with abandon to sustain the illusion of prosperity, gold is now poised to soar in value against most national currencies and reclaim its place at the center of the global financial system.

In THE COMING COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR AND HOW TO PROFIT FROM IT, James Turk and John Rubino explain how ordinary investors can preserve and increase their wealth by investing in gold coins, gold mining stocks, and gold-based digital currencies. They delineate the potential profits, as well as the risks involved, in the various options; discuss how to integrate gold into a balanced financial portfolio; and point out the pros and cons of buying shares in funds that invest in gold-mining stocks.

The devaluation of the dollar has already hurt millions of Americans: the real value of fixed incomes has shrunk; the stock market may be overvalued once again; and bonds, tied to an ever-depreciating dollar, are headed for disaster. In a clear, highly practical style, THE COMING COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR AND HOW TO PROFIT FROM IT shows readers why catching the “gold bug” now is the surest way to flourish in the future.
