So what is the universal currency?

The dollar of course. But for how much longer?

I am not speaking about alarmist stuff here. When I say it took me about 4 months to understand the position of global markets, I promise that it took me four months.

Why is this important? It dawned on me one day that seeing the 'big picture' is the secret. Economics is fundamentally simple when you look at the big picture. As a chemical engineer, I was always trained to be sensible in my thinking, and to assess the big picture before delving into the small side of things. And big pictures in economics are BIG. Really big. They involved entire economies and oddly, once you bend your mind around this, assessing the picture for money making opportunities is quite easy.

I had help. Lots of it and completely free. Not one cent has it cost me to see the big picture. I have paid some money for ongoing advice as to what to do about the big picture and how best to maximise it and that was a leap of faith that I was happy to take. I decided to do it for myself, because then I was in control.

And being in control is what America and the dollar is not. Once I saw this picture my investment strategy changed abruptly. I firmly believe that the time of gold is now, more than ever before. I wish I had trusted Clive Roffey, a South African gold investment strategist two years ago. But I didn't. And it cost me - but now I can do without Clive because I can see the bigger picture.

The dollar will continue to decline. The rand will strengthen somewhat and as the dollar declines, against all other major currencies, gold will increase in value. Eventually the dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency. The renmimbi will be.

The opportunity for making money is obvious. Buy gold. The metal in it's purest form. And wait. You won't be waiting long.

So, being the Internet marketer that I am, I hopped onto the Internet to find out about 'buying gold'. Do you know that it is virtually impossible to find access to quick and useful information on how to do this?

As a South African, I know that the only way I can buy gold is by buying Kruger Rands. Kruger Rands are pretty coins, that weigh in at one ounce, one hald ounce, one quarter ounce and one tenth ounce flavours. Best of all they cost the same as one ounce - you pay the going rate of gold, and get it made into pretty coins for you, for Free!
