Real interest rates haven’t been negative for over 20 years, when the last Great Gold Bull peaked. Negative real interest rate environments are the most potent fuel known for igniting out-of-control and spectacular gold bull markets.

So gold should form the core of a portfolio in times of depression and recession. During the great gold bull market of the 1970s, the average monthly gold price increased from under $35 to over $675 an ounce… representing a 1,833% gain.

If today’s gold bull market makes similar moves forward, gold prices could skyrocket well over $5,000 per ounce. With gold riding high peaks lately, it’s hard to imagine that any investor could still remain in the dark about the potential of the yellow metal. But despite the record-breaking prices, the greater investing public just hasn’t jumped on board the gold train. When you think of how much gold has risen since 2001—it’s nearly quadrupled—it still doesn’t seem to have excited an awful lot of people. There doesn’t seem to be much public participation yet. There’s no sense of a mania, at this juncture. One day, there probably will be, and then it will be really big. So some people who suggest that this is a bubble already, I think are probably mistaken.

So the danger lies in the government printing press. And true wisdom is to hold gold in the face of the devalued dollar. And as long as the world is restless with our increasing money supply, our trade deficits, our unfunded liabilities, and the complete inability of Congress to stop the government spending… the price of gold will continue to rise. Clearly, these problems won’t end any time soon.

While gold has shown a healthy appreciation, the stock market still remained in the doldrums. Despite the run-up in bullion prices and precious metal shares, the bull market in gold has just begun. The analysis is mainly derived from the bullish fundamentals of the yellow metal as well as the bearish fundamentals of the U.S. Dollar. In addition to favorable fundamentals, there are sociological signs that the bull market in gold has just started.

Gold has been in a secular bear market and is now in a secular bull market. Market experts use the term secular to indicate a long time period. Not an entire century, but perhaps to represent events that occur “once in a lifetime” because they are so long. The price of gold over the last decade displays one major cyclical bear market from early 1996 to early 2000 and a major cyclical bull market from early 2001 to the present.

If you want to make a lot of money extremely quickly, do this, I promise it works! What I want you to do first is go to a website called ClickBank and sign up (it’s free). What they do is manage a bunch of different products that you can promote for a commission. All you need to do is send traffic (people) to that product page, and if they buy, you make your commission. The correct term for it is, becoming an affiliate. Now the good part…

Once you’ve done that, the promoting on the streets comes into place. After you pick a product that you want to promote on ClickBank, I want you to open up Microsoft Word, Notepad, whatever you use on the computer to write things. You will need to write 2 sentences about the product you are promoting, and make it catchy! Make the font extremely big and bold so that people can read it from far away. Then place your custom link to the product you are promoting at the bottom of it. (It’s called your “Hoplink” and ClickBank creates it for you, it’s extremely easy.) Now after you have done that, I want you to print out about 100 of these. Fold them in half and take them with you on a walk around your neighbor hood. When you’re walking, place them on the windshields of parked cars… After you’ve run out, go home and log into you ClickBank account later that night. I guarantee you’ll be surprised!

This is exactly how I started affiliate marketing. I know you’re probably thinking that this would never work and that it’s a waste of time. Well let me tell you something. When I used to do this, for every 100 I would hand out, I’d get around 10 people buying. So lets say that I received $50 a sale. I would make $500 dollars every time I’d go out and do this! Sounds a little more appealing now, right?

So go out and do this, I promise you if you just try it, you’ll start seeing great results immediately.
