à True Crime Stories (Shawn Ambrosino)

Every day it seems that gold trades higher than the day before…

Yesterday’s close of $1,375.40 was already decimated by the time the market opened this morning, up another $3, and creeping closer and closer to Gold Corp. President, Rob McEwen predicted price of $1500 and ounce.

Simple logic tells us that hyper gold prices present us with bigger problems: lower currency values, higher interest rates and inflation are what generally come to mind…

However, there’s another problem that may not be overlooked, but doesn’t receive the attention it should, especially during this time of flux – and that factor is crime.

Lower currency values, higher prices, inflated interest rates can bring even sturdy personal fortunes to its knees, let alone those without the means to save or invest their money and watch it grow…

While it may be linked, it’s not the kind of crime I’m talking about.

No, I’m talking about precise, experienced, and well prepared professional criminals targeting those places where to get away with the most value for the least amount of work – jewelry heists.

With today’s news climate, most of these stories don’t’ hit the front page, but they’re more common than they should be.

Whether it’s a private collection or a run of the mill jewelry store, I can present you with a handful of back page stories that would be mind numbing…

Like the Dallas jewelry wholesaler who was robbed at 4 in the morning back in October of 2010, when 5 robbers dressed in masks and gloves made off with over $40,000 in rings and earrings.

Or the Manhattan, NY robbery that happened late in the afternoon on Christmas Day, where 3 thieves broke into a diamond kiosk inside of a Burlington Coat Factory store and made off with over half a Million in gold and diamonds.

But professionals aren’t the only criminals looking to commit capers to capitalize on the gold rush, as there have been plenty of those daylight smash and grab incidents…

This is where thieves basically blitz a jewelry store at any hour with hammers or other blunt objects, smash through the display cases and grab as much of the contents as they can carry.

These are the type that are really dangerous to all involved, as the volatility of the situation can be increased depending on whether there are any customers in the store or how desperate the thieves are and at what lengths they’re willing to go to get away with their score.

Oftentimes, smash and grabs lead to violence, whether through simple assault, all the way up to murder…

But is a very real possibility any time you step into any jewelry store.

What’s scary is, that the higher that gold goes, the more of these brazen robberies will happen – it’s simple math.

Think about it…

Why rob a bank or convenient store for devalued cash, when you can rob a jewelry store for a proven commodity in gold.

It makes total sense.

But there’s no stopping the commodities juggernaut now…

Over the next year or so, we’ll see commodities hitting record highs, working to devalue the U.S. dollar to a point of almost peso proportions.

Maybe it’s time to re-couple our currency to gold again…

Undo the past 39 years of a credit based currency and perhaps reignite the confidence of the American dollar.

Either way, the best and easiest way to protect your wealth for the coming dollar downfall would be to find a way to invest in commodities… today.

Wait out the next two years in a bunker, well not literally, but by putting your money in commodities, especially precious or even rare earth metals, you may be doing the best thing you can for your future.

There are plenty of companies out there that can give you an easy, yet affordable way to get aboard this train before it leaves the station…

Because believe me once it does, you may never get another chance to do so.
