[Disclaimer: I do not benefit financially from sharing this information, I only create competition for myself.]

After years of laborious study, dissecting, listening, and strategizing I have decided to release my thesis on how one should construct their precious metals portfolio. I have listened intensely to the most respected names in the public and private domain. Respectfully, I hold high esteem for the lessons and values from each and everyone’s perspective in no particular order: Rick Rule, Eric Sprott, David Morgan, Robert & Kim Kiyosaki, Mike Maloney, James Sinclair, Peter Schiff, Rob Mcewen, William Kaye, Egon Von Greyerz, Bill Fleckenstein, John Embry, Marc Faber, Felix Zulauf, Phillipa Malmgren, Stephen Leeb, James Rickards, Ben Davies, Art Cashin, Michael Pento, Pierre Lassonde, Bill Latour, David McAlvany, Jason Sharon, Jim Dines, James Cook, Ted Butler, Tekoa Da Silva, Chris Martensen, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig Von Mises, George S. Cason, Mike Murdock, Jesse Duplantis, Earl Nightingale, Benjamin Graham, Craig R. Smith, and Al Korelin just to name a few :). Each was responsible in shaping my ideology and evolving my thesis on how one should construct their Precious Metals Portfolio. Now, what I am about to share with you may make you shake your head in disbelief, but just follow it through:

1.  View your holdings as a savings account (insurance)

  • Precious Metals/Bullion constitute the insurance portion of my portfolio (Credit: Rick Rule, David Morgan, Mike Maloney, Bill Latour, Jason Sharon)
  • Not a checking account
  • Not a trading account
  • Got it! ! !

    • 2. Measure your savings in ounces, not the spot price

  • When prices go up, I sleep well at night
  • When prices go down, I sleep well at night
  • Mr. Market does not control me, if anything, when prices go down I want to purchase more (Credit: Benjamin Graham, ‘The Intelligent Investor’)

    • The preponderance of empirical evidence for owning precious metals directly, proxy (certificated), or mining shares is beyond compelling. Here are some just to name a few:

  • Venezuela, Germany, Switzerland, Austria & Denmark, want to repatriate their gold holdings (some, not all) from the Federal Reserve, actually the U.S. Treasury.  THE FEDERAL RESERVE DOES NOT OWN ANY GOLD! ! !

  • Congress proposed the creation of a numismatic Platinum coin to payoff of the U.S. National Debt in 2012 and 2013
  • The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, via the Federal Reserve, is printing new currency at an unprecedented rate, both physically and digitally
  • The Federal Reserve has a toxic balance sheet that has metastasized from 4 Trillion presently: http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttrends.htm
  • The Federal Reserve artificially interfering/manipulating interest rates to 0%
  • In recent news, there are advocates in banking and ivory towers of Keynesian Academia  advocating the notion of cashless society
