$10,000 Gold: Why Gold's Inevitable Rise Is the Investor's Safe Haven (please click the image:)
For the past decade, Nick Barisheff has focused on the world of precious metals and the advantages of investors holding physical gold, silver, and platinum bullion . As president and CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc. (BMG), a precious metals management company, he uses his understanding of the precious metals markets to develop strategies, products and services for clients looking to integrate bullion into their portfolios. His view on the precious metals sector is that gold, silver and platinum in bullion form, are a vital component of a client's financial program and should make up ten percent or more of a well-diversified portfolio.
In 2002, he launched BMG and BMG BullionFund, Canada’s only RSP eligible open-end mutual fund trust that purchases equal dollar amounts of gold, silver and platinum bullion. More recently, BMG expanded it products by launching BMG Gold BullionFund and the BMG BullionBars program. Mr. Barisheff specifically designed all BMG products to meet the three fundamental attributes of owning bullion: liquidity, no counterparty risk and independent of management skills. In 2011, BMG became an Associate Member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
Widely recognized as an international bullion expert, Barisheff writes numerous articles on bullion and current market trends, which are published on various news and business websites. Nick has appeared on BNN, CBC, CNBC, Sun Media and does countless interviews in leading business publications across North America, Europe and Asia. He is a soon to be published author with his book $10,000 Gold: The Inevitable Rise and the Investor’s Safe Haven. Every investor who is seeking the safety of sound money will benefit from Nick’s insights into the portfolio-preserving power of gold.
Through BMG, Mr. Barisheff is continuing to develop products and services that allow investors of every level, from institutional to “do-it-yourself” individuals, take full advantage of buying and holding uncompromised bullion in a diversified portfolio.
Nick Barisheff is a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Awards.
Gerald Celente
Trends Research Institute
The Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting —The purpose of trend forecasting is to provide insights and directions in anticipation of what the future may bring – and to be prepared for the unexpected. Gerald Celente, a Close Combat practitioner and black belt trainer, well understands the importance of proacting rather than reacting: "The first rule of Close Combat is to attack the attacker. Action is faster than reaction. The same holds true for the future. You know the future is coming … attack it before it attacks you."
Founder of The Trends Research Institute in 1980, Gerald Celente is a pioneer trend strategist. He is author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking (Warner Books) – "Far better than Megatrends," and publisher of the internationally circulated Trends Journal newsletter.
Political Atheist — Gerald Celente is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is "think for yourself," observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends for what they are – not for the way he wants them to be.
Like a doctor giving a diagnosis after gathering the facts, whether or not you like the prognosis doesn’t alter the outcome, make him an optimist or pessimist – it’s simply what is. And while Celente holds a US passport, he considers himself a citizen of the world.
Globalnomic® Trend Forecaster — Using his unique perspectives on current events forming future trends, Gerald Celente developed the Globalnomic® methodology which is used to identify, track, forecast and manage trends.
The world's only trends analyst covering 300 diversified trends fields, Gerald Celente and the Trends Research Institute provide trend research studies and consulting services to businesses and governments worldwide. Celente also designed the nation’s first professional course in trend forecasting.
The proof is in his past — Gerald Celente has earned his reputation as "The most trusted name in trends" by accurately forecasting hundreds of social, business, consumer, environmental, economic, political, entertainment, and technology trends. Among them:
Celente coined the term "clean foods" in 1993 and predicted sustained growth in organic products in 1988.
When gold was at $275 per ounce in 2002, Celente said the price had bottomed and in 2004 forecast the beginning of the "Gold Bull Run." Since that time, with pinpoint accuracy, he said when, why - and how high - gold would go. *youtube.com recording.
