DIVERSIFYING YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS NOW!

Gold and Silver Can Help Make Your Retirement Plan More Safe and Profitable...

Regardless of your traditional investment preferences, tangible assetsAmerican eagle like gold and silver can help make the profitability and safety of your retirement portfolio far more attainable.

Simply put, gold can reduce the volatility of your retirement portfolio. Historically, gold has moved counter to the direction of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The technical term is that gold is “negatively correlated” to stocks.

Gold has also proven to protect purchasing power. In the 1920's, an ounce of gold could buy a good suit of men's clothes. Today, it still can. Gold can preserve your purchasing power, an essential factor in any retirement plan.

In contrast, during the five worst years of inflation in America, the average returns on stocks in the Dow was 12.33% — lower in most cases than that year's inflation rate.

Raymond E. Lombra, Professor of Economics at Penn State University says:
"Including gold within an existing portfolio could improve investment performance by either increasing returns without increasing risk, or by reducing risk without adversely affecting returns."


Pitfalls Your Golden IRA Can Help You Avoid


Retirement planning isn't just about saving money. It's also about diversifying to avoid the economic erosion of your assets. Here are some of the pitfalls you could avoid:

• Rising inflation • Rising interest rates • War and world tensions • A volatile stock market • Bank defaults • Weakening dollar.

Inflation, in particular, can whither away a plan's assets. For example, say you contribute $10,000 a year for twenty years at 8% interest.

With no inflation, you'll receive $50,338 a year for twenty retirement years. But with 5% inflation (the average rate over the past twenty years), you'd only get $18,602 per year for twenty retirement years.

Clearly, you should plan for inflation.
