The Shrinking U.S. Dollar
The U.S. Dollar iS Shrinkingin valUe. iT iS obvioUS ThaT aDollar DoeS noT bUy whaT iTUSeD To!
The U.S. Government is printing money at an
increasing rate and the Federal Reserve Money
Supply has doubled since 2008! The new global
economy, which has evolved over the last ten
years, has seen a boom in the development of
China, Brazil, India and Russia. The world is
awash in U.S. dollars as we have sent trillions of
dollars abroad to pay for products, services and
commodities.
According to a government report, the U.S.
Dollar Index is down 37% since 2001. Simply put, each and every year paper U.S.dollars buy you less and less goods and services.With the federal bailouts and economic stimuluspackages approved by Congress during 2008-2009, the U.S. Money Supply has skyrocketed. Asa result, the U.S. dollar is being “watered down”in value.
Gold, on the other hand, has steadily increased
in value over the last ten year cycle while theU.S. Money Supply has more than doubled.
Gold prices have increased approximately 456%
between 2000 and 2011. Many institutions
have purchased gold as insurance against
paper markets, including the 152 year old
Northwestern Mutual Insurance company, who in
2009 purchased $400 Million in physical gold for
portfolio protection.

The loST DeCaDe...
T Mts: You may be shocked to learn how badly
U.S. stocks have performed in the rst
twelve years of the new century. A $100,000
investment into the NASDAQ Index on
January 1, 2000 would be worth only
$64,000 in January of 2012.
Or, a $100,000 investment into the S&P 500
Index would have lost more than 11% in the
same time frame and be worth only $89,000.
T U.S. D:$100,000 invested in U.S. dollars in 2000,
(see Gold vs. Dollar index chart) would
have lost $38,000 in purchasing power by
early 2011. Therefore, $100,000 in cash
would buy only $62,000 worth of goods
and services in early 2011.
T gd:It’s proven that it takes more than stocks
and bonds to build a rock-solid portfolio.
Considering how close the world has
come to a total nancial meltdown, it has
never been more important to own
physical gold to protect against the
shrinking U.S. dollar.
What does this mean? Physical gold provides
wh p p p
against U.S. federal bailouts which make
the U.S. dollar a depreciating asset. Hedge
yourself for the next 5-10 years and get
protection against ination and a global bear
market!

The golD ira oPTion
A Gold IRA is a Self-Directed Individual Retirement Accountthat allows you to safely own physical precious metals in a
tax-deferred account. You are no longer conned to riskystocks and bonds but could instead have a physical assetinside your portfolio. The Self-Directed IRA gives you thepower to decide exactly what type of precious metals youinvest in. Whether you choose gold, silver, platinum or palladium, the physical asset is safely stored for you in asecure IRS-approved depository waiting for you when youretire.
hiSTory
From 1986 to 1998 the IRS limited IRA account holders tostoring only gold and silver American Eagles. However,changes in the IRS Tax Code in 1998 granted everyone theopportunity to hold a wider range of IRS-approved preciousmetal coins and bars within their IRAs. Today, an IRA canhold gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion which meetcertain minimum neness requirements.
a SiMPle TranSaCTion
When working with American Bullion, the process of addinggold or other precious metals to your current IRA is a simpleand hassle-free transaction. You can choose to transfer your entire IRA account, or just a portion of it, into a newSelf-Directed Gold IRA. This common practice is knownas a “Direct Rollover” or a “Direct Transfer.” It is a tax-freetransaction — meaning the IRS allows you to move funds outof one IRA into another IRA, free of tax penalties.
Many individuals also have old 401K accounts, or other typesof retirement plans from previous employers suchas a 403b, 457b, Thrift Savings Plan, annuity, or pension.These, too, can be converted tax-free into a Gold IRA byrequesting a rollover. In most instances, one simple phonecall will allow the current custodian of your former 401K planto release these funds directly into your new Gold IRA. Thisprocess is a 100% tax-free transaction.
All transactions are
handled hassle-free
by our courteous,
knowledgeable
account executives.

Gold can reduce the overallvolatility of your retirement
portfolio and can help you createa safe, stable and profitable futurefor you and your loved ones.
TrUe DiverSiFiCaTion Physical gold and other precious metalsoffer true diversification, solid protectionand excellent profit potential for anyportfolio. During the past decade,precious metals IRAs have continuouslyout-performed traditional paper IRAs. Thepurchasing power of the U.S. dollar hasdeclined by about 90% since 1950. Gold,however, has shown tremendous growthin the same time span. When you secure
gold within your retirement portfolio,nothing comes between you and your physical asset. We believe it would be anoversight to rely solely on Gold ETF’s andmining stocks to gain true diversification.Some gold stocks represent only 1/10thof an ounce of gold, and mining stocksare often vulnerable to general economicheadwinds. Companies reporting hugeprofits one day and filing for bankruptcythe next, employees losing their jobs, and
investor’s taking huge hits to their portfoliosare some of the reasons to diversify awayfrom paper assets. When you own physicalprecious metals, you no longer have to relyon the sometimes questionable ethics andbusiness practices of a company’s officers.
liqUiDiTy Aside from being an excellent store of value,gold is considered a liquid asset. It can readilybe converted into cash or goods when neededbecause it is a globally recognized currency.
Tax DeFerreD growTh One of the most powerful benefits of owningphysical precious metals through a GoldIRA is the ability to accumulate growth from
your investment on a tax-deferred basis. Thispowerful incentive is not available throughtaxable investment vehicles, and provides aunique opportunity to build and preserve your retirement nest egg.
PUrChaSing Power ProTeCTion In the 1920s, an ounce of gold, worth $20,could easily purchase a high end tailor-made suit.Today, that one ounce of gold still buys
a high end tailor-made suit. The U.S. twentydollar bill, however, will not even cover thecost of a nice tie. Gold’s purchasing power andwealth preservation have a proven track record,even prior to the beginning of our modernfinancial system.

Buried in the ETF’s prospectus and legalese you will find thespecific risks of holding a paper tracking stock, as compared to simply owning the real thing.Mining stocks do not even claim to mimic the performance of gold; you actually own theperformance of that specific company’s management. Thus, even when gold prices rise, miningstocks may remain flat or decline due to company specific expenses, charges, or a businessclimate that affects their earnings.

Central banks in developed economies such as the United States and Germany hold the majority
of their assets in gold, not paper currencies. This is because paper currencies can literally be
printed at the discretion of bankers, diluting real wealth. Emerging market central banks such as
India and Russia have also begun to aggressively build their gold reserves amid uncertainity as to
the future of paper assets like the U.S. dollar. Notice that 1) Even a small percentage increase in
emerging market central bank demand for gold would have a signicant effect on demand at any
price and 2) Central banks, who control monetary policy, do not hold all of their assets in paper.Why should you?

Silver For yoUr ira anD For DireCT Delivery
9800.531.6525 • www.americanbullion.com
It’s easy to convert your dollars into physical silver either through an IRA transfer or bydirect delivery to your home or business.
(Hypothetically $100,000 invested in silver in 2000 would be worth approximately $700,000 in 2012)
Throughout history silver has served mankind as the primary monetary metal and has even at
times outperformed gold. Silver’s unique properties make it difcult to substitute in industrial
applications and thus its global demand continues to rise.
Silver is the only precious metal that has not reached a new high over the last ten years. Today,
silver is priced lower then it was 30 years ago! Historically, the ratio of gold to silver prices
averages between 12 and 15 to 1. In this cyclical bull market the ratio peaked to 60:1 and has
currently tightened to 50:1. We believe this ratio will continue to tighten as investors use silver
as a hedge against ination, a devaluating US Dollar and global economic uncertainty.
