Eldora Resources - How to Avoid Scams when Buying Gold and Silver Coins

Know Your Dealer, Resist Deals Too Good to Be True and Avoid Collectable Coins

It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

With the rise of gold and silver coins as a hedge against inflation, more people are looking to add precious metals to their savings. However, there are many scam artist ready to take advantage of new buyers. Here's how to protect yourself.

Avoid collectable coins
When you start to buy gold and silver coins, some disreputable dealers will try to sell you collectable gold and silver coins. Usually, these coins cost 50% to 100% over spot. If you are interested in buying silver and gold coins as an investment, then you shouldn't bother with collector coins. And you should not be paying more than 30% over spot price, per ounce.

Avoid people who offer "too good to be true" deals on gold and silver
There is no such thing as a deal when it comes to gold and silver coins. You can not buy a gold nor silver coin for just spot price. And you certainly can not buy a silver or gold coin for under spot price. Anyone who tries to sell you a gold or silver coin for close to spot price is trying to rip you off. Avoid them.

Avoid buying coins on eBay if you are not an expert on detecting fake coins
eBay has many reputable dealers. However, there are many fraud coins on eBay. You are better off avoiding this market. If the gold and silver market becomes overheated, you may find that many dealers will be out of coins. And that the only place that you may find gold or silver coins will be on eBay. Your best move is to simply wait until the coins come back into stock at a reputable dealer. If you end up buying a fake coin on eBay, or get stiffed, you will have a hard time getting your money back.

Stick to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins if you are new at buying gold and silver coins

There are many fraud gold and silver coins out there. The majority of fake gold and silver coins come from Asia. You can reduce your chance of buying a fake coin by sticking to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins. Why? Because these are the only coins minted by the United States. And counterfeit gold and silver Liberty coins are investigated by the Secret Service. That makes it more advantageous for criminals to stick to faking non-US gold and silver coins. Yes, you will pay a little more for U.S. Liberty Eagle gold and silver coins, but it will be worth it.

Avoid buying coins at pawn shops if you are not a powerful negotiator
Pawn shop dealers are masters at buying low and selling high. If you are a new gold and silver buyer and you walk into a pawn shop, you will be like a sheep walking into a den of wolves. You are better off to sticking to large gold and silver dealers who have a set above spot price on their coins.

There are many great places where you can safely buy gold and silver coins. My two recommendations are APMEX and Apmex.com and bulliondirect.com. Both companies have been around for over a decade and have a long track record with many long term gold and silver buyers and sellers. With the right kind of research, you will be able to find the best dealer for you to buy and sell gold and silver coins.

Using Gold to Monitor Market's Reaction to QE2: Eldora Gold Resources News

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News- A Wall Street Journal article today on quantitative easing (QE) hints the Fed will take a middle of the road approach in terms of the size and duration of QE2. As we would expect, the stock and commodity markets’ initial reaction is negative. A middle of the road approach to QE seems counter intuitive to the Fed’s own historical analysis of why quantitative easing was ineffective in Japan. In CCM’s July 2010 review of James Bullard’s Seven Faces of “The Peril,” our read between the lines interpretation of Bullard’s take on QE included:

In order for quantitative easing to sufficiently increase future inflation expectations, market participants must believe the Fed will do “whatever it takes for as long as necessary” to obtain the objective of sufficiently positive inflation. This means the Fed must be willing to leave balance sheet expansion in place for as long as necessary to create expectations of higher future inflation by market participants (consumers, investors, companies, etc.). This reminds us of past “bazooka-like” policy moves, where policymakers would say, “You think we can’t create positive inflation? Just watch.
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News- The key to next week’s Fed statement on quantitative easing will be how they address the concept of “whatever it takes for as long as necessary.” We can use gold and the US dollar to monitor the market’s reaction to QE2 and the stock market. On October 11th in U.S. Dollar Could Rally In Coming Weeks, we hypothesized QE2 could be a “buy the rumor, sell the news event” relative to risk assets. Since October 11th, the dollar index has moved from 77.18 as high as 78.36; a move above 78.36 would increase the odds of the US dollar having a multi-week countertrend rally.
On October 13th with the S&P trading at 1,169, we listed 1,196 as a possible short-term upside target. The S&P 500’s intraday high on October 25th was 1,196, which means we have entered a zone where the odds of a short-to-intermediate-term reversal have increased (emphasis on odds). Stock market breadth on October 26th was weak, adding to the list of concerns over the next few days.
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News- We recently mentioned some yellow flags in the gold market. Thus far, gold is holding up well enough that a push to new highs still could be in the cards. From a short-term bearish perspective, a break of the thin blue trendline below would increase our concerns about a correction in gold. The long-term fundamentals for gold remain sound.
As we monitor gold, QE and the dollar, we must also consider the possible impact on "weak dollar assets" such as gold, silver, copper, oil, agricultural commodities, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and emerging markets.
Video: What Is Quantitative Easing?
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News- In part three of our six part series on quantitative easing, we examine Fed statements, writings, and publications related to the objectives of, and rationale behind, QE2. The analysis of some key Fed commentary on quantitative easing allows us to better understand the Fed’s perspective relative to QE’s possible impact on the financial markets, investing, the economy, interest rates, asset prices, and the wealth effect. Today’s quantitative easing video also touches on the following:

• Duration of QE program
• Consumption
• Investment
• Ben Bernanke’s “printing press” speech
• US dollar devaluation
• Fiat / paper money system
• Spending
• Inflation
• Dividend-paying securities (video link below)

Eldora Gold Boiler News: Potterton Promax combi boilers and Multifit GasSaver aids Aster Group crack the Code in Bristol

Eldora Gold Boiler News – Installation of Baxi Group high efficiency boilers, incorporated with novel Multifit GasSaver heat room recovery devices, has allowed Aster Group to successfully meet Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes on its Narroways Road development in Bristol.

Aster Group who own and manage about 17,000 inexpensive homes in the south west and central south of England has currently opened its Narroways Road system. Built by the Leadbitter Group, Narroways boasts of 12 new two-bed apartments, five retail units and eight houses. For this affordable development, Leadbitter Group specified Baxi Group’s Potterton Promax 28 HE Plus Combination boilers that includes Multifit GasSaver units in the flats to meet the necessary SAP rating and attain Code Level 3.
Meeting SAP economically to attain the right Code Level should be balanced with the need to give an efficient, suitable and high quality heating and hot water solution for a certain project. The Potterton Promax Combi boilers along with GasSavers offers the best solution at Narroways Road. The tenants are familiar with the combi boiler and how it works, and the GasSavers depends on the boiler’s own high efficiency to deliver much better performance.

It is placed neatly between the boiler and its flue, recycling the heat from the flue gases that would otherwise be expelled into the air and wasted. Then this heat is utilized to preheat water coming into the boiler from the cold mains supply.
Potterton Promax 28 HE Plus is a compact, combination boiler that is SEDBUK Band A rated, that has 91.4% operating efficiency. Simple and fast to set up, it has superb flow rates and comes in 24, 28 and 33 kW outputs.

Eldora Resources - Certified Gold Coins – Where to Buy Them to Avoid Scam

Eldora Gold Resources tips on buying certified gold coins and where to buy them. It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

From the birth of civilization gold coins were considered to be the best and most liquid investment that could be easily sold for profit in difficult economic times. Unfortunately, high demand for gold coins made of precious metals created ground for all sorts of swindlers and scammers trying to make a profit by misleading customers, especially over the Internet.
Buying certified gold coins is perhaps the safest and most reliable way to invest your hard earned dollars into gold since the term “certified” stands for a coin being assessed by a professional coin specialist from one of the four major grading agencies including, NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ICG. Certified gold coins are typically encased with a temper proof plastic seal bearing a mark of grading assurance. The process of coin certification takes the guesswork of buying gold coins and eliminates confusion associated with assessing gold coin pieces purchased over the Internet or through coin dealers.
Though higher priced, certified gold coins exist to protect coin collectors from buying gold plated fakes and to facilitate safer rare gold coins trading. It’s essential to purchase certified gold coins and gold proof coins only from reputable sources that offer highly graded gold coin products along with excellent customer service.
You should definitely avoid buying certified gold coins through TV commercials, gold shows or e-mail offers since these coins are highly overpriced and might lead to potential fakes. Same stands for buying coins through Internet auctions from sellers with no or very little feedback history – you never know what to expect from such transactions. The general rule of avoiding any type of gold coin scams is to stay away from buying very rare or historical coins that are generally not commonly circulated among average coin collectors. The rarer the coin, the harder it’s to research and assess its true value. Start your research from a wide array of online coin investment forums, Google groups or ask another coin collector what place he recommends for buying certified gold coins. If you feel pressured into buying gold coins or your coin dealer can not produce any valid documentation from a reputable grading agency, walk away from this transaction.
Eldora gold resources - One of the most valuable among certified coins that are widely accepted among top coin collectors is gold Vienna Philharmonics coin that represents the finest examples of modern day 24-karat gold bullion coins.

Eldora Gold News: Baxi Group welcomes Welsh Boiler scrappage proclamation

Eldora Gold Boiler News – Baxi Group receives the declaration that Wales is to profit from a boiler scrappage room system like what has been running in England since January 5, 2010.

Benefits of Public Bank Gold Investment– Eldora

It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

Gold stock investments are often included in the portfolio of investment companies which specialize in gold and other precious metals. Because the gold investment companies are simply the managers and investment advisors for the pooled funds of the investors, each investor will share in any gains seen in their share of the portfolio. For some investors using a gold investment company makes great financial sense, while other investors should steer clear of these choices.

A public bank gold investment offers many benefits that are attractive to a wide range of investors, although these options may also have some disadvantages as well, depending on the public bank chosen. This is a great way to invest in gold bullionwithout having to turn your home into Fort Knox or pay excessive storage fees. The bank stores the gold for you, in the amount equal to the value of your gold bullion securities account.

When you choose a public bank gold investment then quality is another benefit. You are assured that only investment quality gold is used to secure your account, such as PAMP Suisse gold bullion and other well known types. This is important because the gold is a guarantee of your capital, and if low quality metal is used then the value of the metal may be significantly less than what is shown on paper.

If you are going to open a public bank gold investment account, you have the choice of two types, allocated or unallocated. Allocated is the better choice for almost every investor, because these accounts offer more benefits. The amount of gold equal to your account balance is specifically allocated to you, and can not be used for any other purpose. Credit Suisse gold bullion or another top quality and name gold product is usually used with these investments, and you can take possession of the bullion at will.

If you are thinking about a public bank gold investment, there are several benefits. These accounts allow you to buy gold conveniently, without worrying about security or storage. Many investors prefer these accounts, and consider them the best gold investment possible. Some investors avoid a public bank gold investment account though, preferring to hold the metal personally. These investments can be a fantastic choice for many investors, but they are not right for everyone or every situation. 

Eldora Gold Resources News - Willow Creek Signs LOI to Acquire Historic Gold Property in Prestigious Walker Lane, Nevada

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News-Willow Creek Enterprises Inc. (OTCBB: WLOC) ("The Company," "Willow Creek") Willow Creek is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter Of Intent to acquire the Hercules property from Minquest, which is located in the prestigious Walker Lane Mineral Belt in Nevada, USA.

The historic Walker Lane Mineral Belt, western Nevada, is a highly mineralized trend that contains several world-class epithermal precious metals deposits, such as: the Comstock Lode (estimated production of 8.6 million ounces of gold and 192 million ounces of silver), Round Mountain (Barrick / Kinross)(over 10 million ounces of gold produced since 1906), Rawhide, Aurora, Goldfield mines, as well as porphyry copper deposits: Yerington (1.75 billion pounds of copper produced from 1953-1978 by Anaconda Copper Company),

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - The Hercules property gives Willow Creek (OTCBB: WLOC) access to one of the most prolific mining areas in the world. According to a report made by Global Geological Consultants (GGC)* in 2003, The Hercules prospect has direct analogies to the historic Comstock Lode deposit, which is located less than 10 miles to the north. While the Comstock Lode produced approximately $670,000,000 worth of gold and silver from 1860 to 1880, the Hercules Mine, located on the "Hercules" property, is estimated to have produced 5,000 oz of gold and 20,000 oz of silver during early, turn-of-the-century mining efforts. In more recent years, modern exploration has been conducted on the property by companies such as Pioneer Mining Corporation, Phelps Dodge Corporation, and Horizon Gold. The GGC* report further states that the potential for the discovery of thicker, mineralized veins within the Hercules is very good, and that recommended drill tests could identify a deep-seated mineralized deposit for which the Walker Belt is known. Further support for exploration of the Hercules was given by Joseph Tingley** in an annual compilation of major precious metal deposits in Nevada, where he noted a resource for the Hercules deposit of approximately 260,000 oz of gold and 1,950,000 oz of silver.

"The company believes the Hercules property contains one of the most significant untested Comstock-type vein systems in the Western United States. With gold prices hovering well over $1,300.00 an ounce, and silver prices steadily climbing, the Hercules property offers a tremendous opportunity to our shareholders as we move forward," stated Terry Fields, President Willow Creek.

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Management believes that in addition to its proximity to other major discoveries, the Hercules' physical location makes it an ideal property for exploration and development. Existing infrastructure, including manpower and accessibility for the Hercules property, is supported by the nearby city centers of Reno and Carson City. State highways and paved roads provide easy access, while moderate temperatures allow for year-round physical work on the property. As we approach the colder months, this physical attribute will allow us to continue our work as many others are forced to shut down their operations until the spring.

Political support for the mining industry enjoyed by the state of Nevada was another determining factor for management when selecting the Hercules property. Favorable laws, positive safety regulations, and the lack of political unrest seen in many other parts of the world are among the main reasons that Nevada's gold production accounted for more than 79% of total U.S. production and 7.2% of the world's gold production in 2009 (Economic Overview of Nevada's Mineral Industry report; Nevada Mining Association). Nevada State Geologist and Director of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Jonathan Price recently stated that Nevada is still in its biggest mining boom, one that produced more than 200 million ounces of gold in Nevada from 1981 to last year. With the addition of the Hercules prospect to our portfolio of properties, Willow Creek (OTCBB: WLOC) hopes to contribute to Nevada's production numbers in the years to come.

Eldora Resources - How to Avoid Scams when Buying Gold and Silver Coins

Know Your Dealer, Resist Deals Too Good to Be True and Avoid Collectable Coins

It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

With the rise of gold and silver coins as a hedge against inflation, more people are looking to add precious metals to their savings. However, there are many scam artist ready to take advantage of new buyers. Here's
how to protect yourself.

Avoid collectable coins
When you start to buy gold and silver coins, some disreputable dealers will try to sell you collectable gold and silver coins. Usually, these coins cost 50% to 100% over spot. If you are interested in buying silver and gold coins as an investment, then you shouldn't bother with collector coins. And you should not be paying more than 30% over spot price, per ounce.

Avoid people who offer "too good to be true" deals on gold and silver
There is no such thing as a deal when it comes to gold and silver coins. You can not buy a gold nor silver coin for just spot price. And you certainly can not buy a silver or gold coin for under spot price. Anyone who tries to sell you a gold or silver coin for close to spot price is trying to rip you off. Avoid them.

Avoid buying coins on eBay if you are not an expert on detecting fake coins
eBay has many reputable dealers. However, there are many fraud coins on eBay. You are better off avoiding this market. If the gold and silver market becomes overheated, you may find that many dealers will be out of coins. And that the only place that you may find gold or silver coins will be on eBay. Your best move is to simply wait until the coins come back into stock at a reputable dealer. If you end up buying a fake coin on eBay, or get stiffed, you will have a hard time getting your money back.

Stick to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins if you are new at buying gold and silver coins

There are many fraud gold and silver coins out there. The majority of fake gold and silver coins come from Asia. You can reduce your chance of buying a fake coin by sticking to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins. Why? Because these are the only coins minted by the United States. And counterfeit gold and silver Liberty coins are investigated by the Secret Service. That makes it more advantageous for criminals to stick to faking non-US gold and silver coins. Yes, you will pay a little more for U.S. Liberty Eagle gold and silver coins, but it will be worth it.

Avoid buying coins at pawn shops if you are not a powerful negotiator
Pawn shop dealers are masters at buying low and selling high. If you are a new gold and silver buyer and you walk into a pawn shop, you will be like a sheep walking into a den of wolves. You are better off to sticking to large gold and silver dealers who have a set above spot price on their coins.

There are many great places where you can safely buy gold and silver coins. My two recommendations are APMEX and Apmex.com and bulliondirect.com. Both companies have been around for over a decade and have a long track record with many long term gold and silver buyers and sellers. With the right kind of research, you will be able to find the best dealer for you to buy and sell gold and silver coins.

Eldora Gold Resources News - Correction in Precious Metals Likely to Set Stage for Further Run Ups

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - China is the world’s largest producer of gold, but it has plenty of other precious metals and rare minerals as well. Some in the world are already worried about so much power concentrated in one place.

A Bloomberg Report this week stated that silver exports from China, one of the world's largest, may drop about 40 percent this year as domestic demand from industry and investors climbs. China is the third-largest producer after Peru and Mexico. It is expected that reduced exports will boost prices. Industrial applications for silver, including electrical conductors and batteries, represent about half global demand. Silver has rallied 44 percent this year, outperforming gold and copper.
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - In addition, China, which has been blocking shipments of crucial minerals to Japan for the last month, has also halted some shipments to the United States and Europe. These rare earth minerals are crucial to manufacturing many advanced products such as radar, cell phones, high-powered magnets and mini-hard drives in laptop computers. China’s control of them and its willingness to flex its economic muscles seem certain to further intensify trade and currency tensions. The bad news is China mines 95 percent of the world’s rare earth elements. If restriction on exports of these minerals continues, it could force multinational companies to produce more of their high-technology goods in China.
Speaking of mining, let's take a look at the long-term XAU chart. The XAU (gold and silver stocks index) Index failed to break into new highs - as visible on the very-long-term chart above. Although we see it presently at a declining support level, we don't expect this level to hold given declining gold, silver and stock prices.

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Support levels such as the lower border of the trading channel, previous local tops, and multi-year support levels are also in play. The declining, short-term trend line has been broken recently most likely due to the USD Index rally. The area around the 170 level appears to be the probable bottom for the current decline.

In a recent Market Alert sent to our Subscribers, we discussed the possibility for Traders to bet on lower prices using options. Lower prices in mining stocks may be the way to go due to their lower volatility. Their close trading range has caused a decline in option premiums.
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - In the research section of Sunshine Profits website, Predicting and Taking Advantage of Corrections in Gold is an essay, which is perfect for our current situation. Options traders should be sure not to miss this instructive piece.
Summing up, it is likely that mining stocks will eventually rally but we will probably first see a corrective period. Lower prices are likely to be seen in the short-run with a rally to follow perhaps before the end of the year.
