Don’t Be Fooled

It seems that everywhere you look these days, people are talking about how well the economy is doing.

Watch Rates for Higher Gold

Rally

When it comes to the notion of higher interest rates, most investors automatically, and mistakenly, assume that higher rates equates to lower gold prices.

The benchmark 10 year note could possibly hold the keys to substantially higher gold prices in the months and years ahead.

In a recent interview with Kitco.com, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki suggested that if you want $100,000, you need to get gold. The world-renowned author stated “If I want $10,000 a month, I hold $10,000 in gold; gold is an attractor and people need to understand that if you buy more gold, your income goes up.” That is a pretty profound statement for sure.
