Gold Investing Expert: Bob Moriarty Goes on Record
Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009 Nov 20, 2009 - 11:17 AM GMTWe live in a world that is totally insane. We have one US government agency buying worthless paper from another US government agency and the public nods their heads in agreement just as if it makes perfect sense.
It doesn't make any sense at all; it's like taking water from one end of a swimming pool and carrying it down to the other end and believing you are making a difference.
– Bob Moriarty, Gold is Getting Frothy
With gold busting through $1100 this month, government deficits/spending/borrowing showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, the stock market at unsustainable highs, it’s clear to see investors are finding few places to turn.
One of the spots they have found is gold - the ultimate safe haven - as the last bastion of safety and wealth preservation.
The interest in gold is at its highest level in decades. But we’ve discussed the value and importance of precious metals in the past. Now it’s time to maximize the opportunity in gold.
That’s why I’m pleased to tell you that the Prosperity Dispatch was able to track down Bob Moriarty to get his view on the economy, gold, and where the best opportunities in the gold market are.
If you’ve never heard of Bob, I can tell you with great confidence he is one of the most well-respected gold investors and analysts in the world.
For example, convinced gold/silver were at a bottom in 2001, Bob and his wife Barbara started one of the first websites devoted to teaching readers what they need to know about investing in resource stocks. Bob and Barb now operate two resource sites, 321Gold.com and 321Energy.com where up to 100,000 people a day visit.
Knowing what it’s like to start something you know there will be little interest in (our very recent example), I’ve got a lot of respect for Bob.
But the thing is, if you’ve read Bob’s research before, you know he’s not the type of guy to sugar-coat the truth either.
In this exclusive interview, you’ll learn about:
- The two most important reasons to own gold now (regardless of the price)
- Why the U.S. is on track to become a third world nation
- Where Bob is putting his money now
- An oil technology company that can double its customers oil production
- How the Dow could hit 20,000
- One of the most dangerous countries on earth for you and your money!
That’s just to start. There’s a whole lot more.
Read on below for all the details.

Andrew Mickey: In your view, what’s the top reason to own gold? What would you tell someone who never even considered buying gold before today?
Bob Moriarty: There are two reasons to buy gold.
First, gold is an insurance policy against chaos.
We live in a world where the US Marines are spending $400 a gallon for fuel in Afghanistan and using $320 million dollars in fuel a day. Merrill Lynch executives paid themselves 3.6 billion dollars in bonus money just before the company was taken over after those same executives lose $27 Billion dollars for the firm and had to be taken over. Goldman Sachs looks to be distributing about $23 billion in bonuses for the year.
A year ago they were on the ropes and were only bailed out by US taxpayers. We have privatized profit and socialized losses in the US.
One day soon the unemployed and homeless are going to get very angry. When the riots start and the banks all close, it will be a good time to own gold.
Second, gold is an investment that has no counterparty risk.
There is $600 trillion in derivatives bets, all of which have enormous counterparty risk. The world is a $60 trillion economy. $600 trillion in derivatives is insane.
In 1923 in Germany, a quarter of an ounce of gold would buy a nice home. It’s going to happen again.
Andrew Mickey: Over the short-term, the next few months or a year, do you see any short-term catalysts for gold?
Do you see anything like those, or worse?
Bob Moriarty: There is a giant black swan fixing to land on the pond...
