Those who don't learn from history are Doomed to repeat it. Most of us are familiar with these words. If we were to look back in time could we find a stock roughly 75 years ago that still has value beside's maybe,General Electric. Now go back 75 years and look at Gold, and Silver. Go back 100 years, 500, 1000, 5000 years. Gold and Silver has never changed in real value. NEVER.  How many country's have had paper currency that has maintained it's viability? Again, none. Most of us have only lived in time's of great prosperity, and excess.

We continue to invest in the stock market expecting business as usual, seeing no end to the prosperity we have enjoyed. History does not support this, nor does basic common sense. Gold and Silver have always been regarded and treasured as true money. An asset that always has value. Every country has and always will recognize it as a form of currency regardless of other forms of monetary exchange we may invent in the attempt to replace it. If an economy fails, Gold and Silver soar in value, if a country is prosperous, Gold and Silver still has its value. If we have global unrest, rising inflation, a de-valued fiat currency, Gold and Silver rise again as the hedge to protect us, the safe haven to prevent personal financial ruin. When dollars become worthless paper, and stocks become toilet paper, Gold and Silver will stand strong as always to remind us that paper is and always will be just paper.

Gold and Silver are protection. Not an ivestment for the greedy quick buck artist. We buy it store it, and hopefully never need it. But if we do it will save us from total financial ruin. Either way, with Gold and Silver in our investment's we have a well rounded and safe portfolio. Without it we are gambling with our future and trusting those who haven't earned our trust. Who saw the depression of 1930 coming? They called the '20s the roaring 20's because of the prosperity, they were living it up. Then a total collapse. Those who lived it up in the 20's never saw it coming, business as usual, and many went from wealth to cardboard boxes and soup lines. Stocks were worthless. Gold and Silver were still Gold and Silver, even though Roosevelt outlawed it and confiscated it.

It is wise to invest in different types of Gold and Silver, such as legal tender coins, like silver dimes, quarters, halves and dollars. Collectable rare coins like Morgans, Peace, Gold Double Eagles, or in graded coins from a reputable grader like PCGS, or NGC. and of course straight bullion which is tied directly to the Gold and Silver spot price but is more volatile. Remember Gold and Silver is a long term investment, not a quick killing and get out type of market. Patience is the key. If Gold and Silver suddenly drop in value do not panic. This is natural and healthy when they are over bought. It's the long term investment, and the wise don't forget that. If it drops, buy the dip as they say. If it goes up, buy as you can afford it. Regardless of the latest trend always buy as you can afford it, be patient don't react with emotional irrationality. Never panic sell, nor pie in the sky buy, and as with anything, research and learn as much as you can and then use your God given good sense and reason to guide your decision's.

Finally, Liberty Standard is a legitimate Gold and Silver dealer. We buy only from reputable brokers, and dealers. I established this company because of what I described above. Not only am I an investor in this market, but I have a personal desire to help other's gain access to this market and hope to inspire as many people as possible to research, learn, and to make well informed decision's in the interest of  you and your families future. Don't follow the herd, lead it. We should be sensible, and not emotional. Please be welcome to visit my ebay store and look around. Contact me if you have any questions, or interest's.
