Customer Reviews

Why should you read Adam Starchild's important new book?
Several powerful reasons exist today that completely change the old way of thinking about gold (and other precious metals).

1. The crisis in Asia clearly shows the ultimate outcome of credit expansion. The U.S. economy lives and breathes on low interest rates, easy credit and loose money. Mortgage refinancing, consumer credit, margin debt, leveraging, and credit cards heat up the economy and encourage speculation and overconsumption.

2. Shocking structural changes in the foundations of the U.S. economy have enhanced the need for gold. Low savings, low investment, excessive leverage, disastrous liquidity trends, trade deficits, high speculation and astronomical public and private debt are a vew of these revolutionary changes.

3. Mainstream financial advisors and economists scorn gold to the extent it has become the premier contrary opinion investment of all time. In the debt- and deficit-ridden countries such as the U.S. and Canada, many people commit their funds exclusively to stocks and neglect hedging with gold.

Great financial talent
As I said in my book, The Offshore Update, published by Eden Press:

Of all the financial experts who have demonstrated literary talent, Adam Starchild is perhaps the least appreciated. This is unfortunate because Starchild is not only a lucid writer -- he is also a credible and conscientious reporter working in an area that until recently has belonged in the same chapter of financial literature with Fort Knox, Howard Hughes, and the Gnomes of Switzerland.

George Bernard Shaw on Gold and Government
"You have a choice between the natural stability of gold and the honesty and intelligence of the members of government. And with all due respect for those gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, vote for gold." -- George Bernard Shaw
