It has a good feel to it.

I know, I just love doing that and I’m sure you can hear that on the video.  Peter, really in the next 60 to 90 seconds…

Sure.

Why would someone invest in gold or silver bullion compared to the stock market or property market?

Safety, safety, safety; okay, you’ve got the ultimate safety, the ultimate safe haven investments here.

Because it’s physical, because you can touch it, you can go to your safe and take a look at your coins and your bars and you know…

You know how much you’ve got in value.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: GOLD PRICE AND VALUATION

Hi, I’m Dr Marc Dussault and as you can see its November, it’s 2009 and I’m here with Peter August, Managing Director of the Australian Bullion Company.  And I wanted us to take some time today to explain something that for you is self-evident but for other people out there who are considering gold as an investment what they might not know is that these are actually gold bars and we have 105 ounces of gold right here, which by the way in today’s price is worth how much?

Over 120 thousand.

Over $120,000, so it’s a great compact way to invest.  Now one of the things that we’ve all done as a kid, and Peter you remember your days back when you were a child and you started investing in coins and collecting coins.

Yes.

There’s this thing called the numismatic value of coins.

Sure.

Can you explain what that really big word is for people.

Yeah, absolutely.

Cause I have a coin here, and I have another coin here; so what’s the difference between this one and that one, other than the size?

Sure.  Okay; this particular coin Marc is a 1 ounce gold coin.

Okay.

It’s 4 nines pure so that’s 99.99% pure, and it is bought and sold on it’s intrinsic gold value.

Yeah.  So you’re buying it because it’s 1 ounce?

That’s correct.

Okay.

Now this…

And this by the way is a 1 ounce gold bar.

That’s correct. Read more…

Video transcript: Gold and Silver Bullion For Wealth Protection

Hi, I’m Dr Marc Dussault, and you can see it’s November, we’re in 2009, I’m here with Peter August, the Managing Director of the Australian Bullion Company.

Peter I want to thank you, hello, yes of course.  We’ve been sitting here for about, well I won’t say how long we’ve been doing these tapes but it’s been a great morning here and what we’ve done is we’ve put together a handful of YouTube videos that you can access through clicking the bubbles that you’ll see on the YouTube videos.  And what we’ve done is we’ve explained why you would invest in silver and gold bullion.  And we’ve explained also the difference between numismatic coins, in other words coins that you collect, as well as these bars here that I do know now that these are bars and not coins; and to take you through the process of why you would invest in gold or silver bullion.

Now we’re talking about different things; if you would just summarize, just in one sentence why someone would invest in gold bullion, or silver bullion, compared to anything else, what would that be?

To protect their wealth, their hard earned wealth, in fragile financial times.

And when we say protection we’re talking about an increase of about 10% historically that you’d recommend people have in bullion…

Sure.

In respect to their total value of their asset base, to now about 15 to 20%.  So you’re not saying sell all your stock, sell all your properties, but just increase the proportion of the gold and silver that you have within your portfolios.  Am I right?

Absolutely.  This is your insurance against calamity.  Okay, now I mean 10 years ago the risk of any kind of financial calamity, or geopolitical calamity was quite small so henceforth you had a very low gold price.  But that risk has increased dramatically. Read more…

Video Transcript: GOLD PRICE HIGH

Hi, I’m Dr Marc Dussault and I’m here with Peter August, CEO and Managing Director of Australian Bullion Company. And we’re here videotaping a series of YouTube videos to explain certain things about gold investment. And this particular video is focused on why the price of gold has gone up so much, so quickly, at least in the eyes of the public.

This is an ounce of gold, about a year ago how much was this worth? Actually back in 2000 and in US dollars, how much was this worth in more or less the year 2000?

Okay. In more or less the year 2000 this was worth US$258.

So US$258.

That’s the low point that gold got to.

About a year ago how much was this same $258 asset that was purchased in 2000?

In US dollars it was about $800.

About $800; so from 250 to 800. Now how much is this worth today, November 2009, in US dollars?

It’s actually just at an all time high right now, so it’s $1,116. Read more…

Yes.  And his name by the way, this happens every once in a while when do these…

I do like to be polite.

His name is Peter August.  So I apologize for not using his name because obviously we know each other, but you might not know him.  So getting on to this, we’re doing a few, a series actually of YouTube videos.  And what I have here are silver bars and what I wanted to focus on, you started mentioning something and I stopped you at the end of another YouTube video, we’re talking about silver as another investment.  Now I was in the printing industry where silver was used fro photographic purposes in film.  And a lot of the industry thought, well when film goes the price of silver is gonna plummet; because obviously film was a big user of silver components within the actual film manufacturing process.

Okay, well just…

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hi, I’m Dr Marc Dusault, I’m here with the Managing Director of the Australian Bullion Company Mr Peter August and we’re sitting here with gold, and this is 105 ounces of gold bars and this is another ounce of a coin.  And I just wanted to show you what it actually looks like; and it’s actually as heavy as it sounds.

Now just so you can see, this is a regular blackberry mobile phone and we have a series of YouTube videos that explains why you should invest in gold.  But what I wanted to do in contrast, and I’m just gonna move the phone over here just so you can see the difference in size.  Again this is just a regular, this would be about the size of a 20 cents piece wouldn’t it?

Yes.

Okay, so a 20 cent Australian piece, and it’s actually you know very attractive because once again it’s a coin, whereas these are bars which have a little bit more of a rough texture.  But the contrast I want to show you is with silver.  Now this is 1 kilo which is about, it’s about all of this isn’t it?

One kilo is that.

Is that.  So this, is that.

It’s a dramatic difference isn’t it?

Yeah, it’s a huge difference.  Now this is silver and I, you have to sense how heavy this is and when you look at it it’s got that rough texture we talked about in the other YouTube video about bullion, and it’s stamped, and it’s actually when you touch it it’s got a really nice feel to it.  I want to show you another one, this one is how much, 5 kilos.

That’s correct.

Peter August On The Gold Price

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: GOLD INVESTMENT TV INTERVIEW

It has soared to record highs on news that India’s Central Bank has bought 200 tons of it from the International Monetary Fund.  The 6.7 billion dollar purchase over the last 2 weeks of October surprised the markets.

It was the biggest single central bank purchase over such a short period in the last 30 years.  The price of gold jumped by more than US$30 to an all time high of $1,087 an ounce.  The country has until now has been the biggest consumer of the precious metal, primarily because of its deep seated affection for jewelry and gold ornaments.  Experts say India’s interest in diversifying into bullion is a sign that gold’s run has only just begun.

For a while there had been a sort of a philosophy that gold no longer was relevant in a modern society, but with all the printing of money that is going on around the world gold has become the ultimate safe haven and has become the safe asset of choice, not only by individuals but by central banks.

The change of attitude appears to be due to a shift in strategy by investors to hedge against a weaker dollar and the threat of inflation.  It also heightens speculation that there may be more official purchases.

The Chinese we know are very worried about holding so much US denominated debt and cash.  You’ve got the Middle East petro dollars that need to be recycled into a store of wealth that they can rely upon.  There’ll be no shortage of takers.

The IMF plans to sell about 400 metric tons of gold this year in an effort to shore up its finances and increase lending to developing countries.  India’s purchase represents about half of that amount.  The question now is who will buy the rest of the IMF gold.
