Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gold Star Investment Strategy is a must read for every American who is interested in saving and investing for the future. Today, more than ever before saving and investing is such a necessity that cannot be ignored. The days of company pensions and social security providing financial security are just about gone. Too many Americans are living dangerously pay check to pay check and others are saving but receiving investment advice from incompetent sources. The Gold Star Investment Strategy is a great strategy for saving and building wealth. Chapter I describes the strategy and shows how easy the strategy is to use. It also describes how truly diversified the strategy is and the necessity behind this diversification. I wrote this book because of my many, many, many years of studying economics and during that time have witnessed so many financial experts at the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, the colleges and universities, the investment community, the business community (including financial planners and investment advisors on TV and news media) giving such incompetent financial advice to the American public. My love of economic has produced a great strategy that is fool proof and easy to understand and use. The Gold Star Investment Strategy is unique in its diversification and ability to stand alone without the need for investment advice from other sources.

Spall explores such topics as: Simple and complex gold trading processes The pivotal role central banks play in the gold market Gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) How spot gold is traded Why gold mining companies have traditionally hedged and why they no longer do so Strategies for investing in the retail market Spall provides an extensive glossary of terms you'll need to know, and he debunks various myths regarding this market, including the Fed's supposed scheme to keep gold prices artificially low during the 1990s. The effects of global economic growth, the weakened dollar, the credit crunch, and the recent creation of enormous funds each affect the gold market; put them together and they add up to potential profits gold investors have never before dreamed of. Gold is a surprisingly small market. When you learn how to navigate it, the potential for excellent rewards becomes evident.
