There is a lot of talk about gold prices rising the past nine years or so, and whether this bull market can continue. Many have been taking this opportunity to preserve some wealth by purchasing gold coins Phoenix. Let us take a look at why and when someone might make such a purchase. In this market, as with any market, there needs to be both willing buyers and sellers. Most of the people selling today do so because they think the market cannot go much higher before declining. Some may need their cash to pay expenses or invest elsewhere.Those who are buyers apparently expect the price to continue rising, possibly to more than 350 percent of what it today is. It appears that more expect rising prices than falling. Whenever buyers outnumber sellers sales prices go up. That is how supply and demand works.One reason for belief that the market will not soon reach its peak, is the rate of inflation. Statistics offered by the government attempt to create a perception that inflation is controlled. These numbers however come from people who take great latitude in manipulating numbers. They do not even consider gas and food prices when compiling their index. If you have been buying anything you can see for yourself that prices are rising quickly.Another indication that this market will continue to rise is the existence of the Federal Reserves Quantitative Easing policy. This is nothing more than a stated intention to continue printing dollars. The printing of more dollars is what causes inflation. More dollars chasing the same quantity of products and commodities causes the prices of those products and commodities to go up.We can therefore say with reasonable certainty that since the Federal Reserve intends that the money supply be increased, they intend also that there be inflation, and that is what we will see happen. It is not some strange coincidence that the price of everything goes up at the same time. This is only what happens as money's value falls.In this way the substantial debts of the federal government can both be paid off with dollars created out of thin air, and with cheaper dollars. Much of the debt will be inflated away. Creditors do not like this and they will also dump their dollars, making them even more worthless.Anyone who has dollars should consider converting them into gold coins Phoenix. When to do this is before their value disappears. Remember though that no investment has guaranteed results.
