AAA reviews Gold, Silver and Bronze as Investments

August 3, 2012 straightlinepr Leave a comment

AAA thinks that the Olympics is the perfect time to review the performance of the medal metals, gold, silver and bronze, in terms of their recent performance as alternative investments.

Boston, MA, August 03, 2012 – Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) thinks that the Olympics is the perfect time to review the performance of the medal metals, gold, silver and bronze, in terms of their recent performance as alternative investments.

Since the last Olympic Games in Beijing, the price of both gold and silver have soared as an increasing number of investors and central banks bought up the precious metals as a buffer against the uncertain economic climate. “Investing in stocks and shares looked decreasingly attractive to many in the past four years and one of the obvious alternatives is precious metals,” explained Anthony Johnson, AAA’s analysis partner.

Illustrating this perfectly is the S&P GSCI Gold Spot Index, which increased by a huge 87.64 per cent between the Beijing Olympics and the London Olympics. In the meantime, Silver grew by 78.74 per cent over the same period. However, lagging a long way behind in third place is copper (from which bronze is made), growing by just 1.56 per cent according to the S&P GSCI Copper Spot for the period.

AAA claims that the reason behind gold’s popularity was the physical nature of gold. “Everyone wants something tangible in exchange for their cash when times are tough and the economy is uncertain,” claimed Mr Johnson.

However, this is not to say that there hasn’t been a fair amount of volatility in the gold and silver markets over the period in question. AAA said that there are several other tangible options that are less volatile and offer risk-averse choices – such as forestry investment.

Investing in timberland in the form of sustainable plantations can provide a great mid-to long-term option for investors who want to diversify their portfolios. In addition, investing in trees through firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil, means that investors only need as little as $10,000 to buy their own slice of timberland.

AAA Highlights Implications of Gold Demand Rise in China

June 15, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

The increasing demand for gold in China is another indicator of the growing popularity of alternative investments around the world, claims AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, June 15, 2012 — The increasing demand for gold in China is another indicator of the growing popularity of alternative investments around the world, claims Alternative Asset Analysis, (AAA).

The Commercial Bank of China’s precious metals department claims that the demand for gold investments could increase by ten per cent this year. The growing demand for commodities like gold, silver and timber is down to a desire among investors to seek safe havens from the ongoing Eurozone crisis.

This is according to AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson. The seasoned asset manager said, “individual investors and institutional investors alike are all looking at ways of diversifying their portfolios to protect against risk.”

Zheng Zhiguang, the general manager of the Commercial Bank of China’s precious metals department, backed up AAA’s view. He told the Economic Times: “Investors here want to hold part of their assets in gold to hedge for the risks, especially now that the financial crisis has evolved into a sovereign crisis.”

The World Gold Council forecasts that China will exceed India this year as the largest market for gold bullion as more and more of the country’s new wealthy population seek safe havens for their cash. Mr Zhiguang added that Chinese investors are facing volatile equity markets and a poor real estate investment opportunities and are looking towards gold as a result.

AAA is an advocate of many varieties of alternative investments and claims that they are growing in popularity since the global economic crisis. “It’s not difficult to see why many people prefer to buy tangible assets of stocks and shares these days,” claimed Mr Johnson. He added, “Assets like timber, gold and fine wine have consistently outperformed the equity markets and also provide investors with an ethical choice.”

AAA advocates ethical investment, through projects such as the sustainable plantations run by Greenwood Management, which offers investors the chance to directly invest in timberland for as little as EUR10,000.

Gold Sales Increase Off Back of China Demand, claims AAA

May 30, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

As investors all over the world continue to opt for alternative investment over traditional asset classes, demand for gold has increased by 16 per cent over 12 months. In response, AAA predicts demand will grow even further over the course of the year.

Boston, MA, USA, May 30, 2012 — As investors all over the world continue to opt for alternative investment over traditional asset classes, demand for gold has increased by 16 per cent over 12 months. In response, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) predicts demand will grow even further over the course of the year.

The amount spent on gold in the past 12 months has increased to $59.7 billion around the world, which AAA claims was given a healthy boost by China’s decision to hedge inflation by increasing its gold investment by 10 per cent.

The figures have been published by the World Gold Council in its Gold Demand Trends report, which also shows that demand for jewelry in China has driven the appetite for gold investment. “Demand for gold rises alongside appetite for alternative investments, but also increases when the population of a country gets wealthier and wants to diversify the risk in their portfolios by investing in tangible assets such as fine jewelry and precious metals,” explained AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

Much of the increase in gold buying took place among the Central Banks of the world’s emerging economies. These banks are looking for asset classes that will not necessarily follow the same patterns as stocks and bonds and other traditional investments.

Mr Johnson added, “And it’s not just financial institutions that are looking at alternative assets to balance out their portfolios, individual investors are now taking asset classes like gold, art, antiques, timberland, real estate and even wine and classic cars seriously.

“They know that these assets can hold their value during an economic downturn and, as a result, it’s a good idea to invest a large chunk of any portfolio in this sector – especially in such uncertain economic times.”

AAA, an alternative investment advocacy group, supports various alternative investment options, including timberland investment through sustainable projects like those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil.

AAA claims Gold Prices could Rise to Record Levels

April 21, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

For all those who invested in gold in the past few months, their investment is paying off as gold prices have started to rise once more, says AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, April 21, 2012 — For all those who invested in gold in the past few months, their investment is paying off as gold prices have started to rise once more, says Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The price of gold is rising off the back of increasing panic in the Eurozone region. Gold is currently trading at around $1,700 per ounce, down from its record high of $1,900 last year, However, analysts, including Anthony Johnson of AAA, claim that gold prices could reach record levels once more in the coming years.

The view is echoed by analysts at Thomson Reuters who earlier this month predicted that gold prices could rise to a record $2,000 per ounce by early 2013 or even late 2012.

“All those who are looking for alternative investment to add to their portfolio should definitely consider precious metals, and particularly gold,” said Johnson, an analysis partner at AAA. The alternative investment advocacy group supports many kinds of alternative asset classes and promotes their value in diversifying portfolios for all kinds of investors.

Angelos Damaskos, who oversees the junior gold Fund in London told the website This Is Money: We believe this will continue to strengthen and even peak above the highs of last year, perhaps reaching $2,000.”

AAA says that investing in alternative asset classes, such as gold, art, timber, antiques and real estate, helps to spread risk in a portfolio. “Investors are increasingly looking to remove their cash from stocks and shares and invest it somewhere that is less volatile and not so tightly correlated with the general economic situation, “ explained Mr Johnson.

AAA supports investment in timber through plantation scheme like the one run by Greenwood Management and other businesses in Brazil, Costa Rica and Canada. “Timber is a less risky asset that continues to physically grow all the time.”

Planning For Effective Internet Marketing

February 8, 2012 RobertJerome

Web marketing isn’t necessarily the simplist thing to do. With so many options at your disposal there is one component that is critical…that cannot be overlooked. There is one critical key to effective network marketing that far too many people overlook. So, what is it that they don’t do? They fail to make a plan. To be fair, a lot of internet marketers believe they have a plan, but saying “I’m going to make some money” is not a plan.

Certainly, that’s one of the primary reasons why franchises are so prevalent. They present a very detailed procedure for just about every aspect of handling a business. But we are talking about web marketing, not a traditional brick and mortar business. So, what you really need for effective internet marketing is a reliable business marketing plan.

Let’s be brief, creating a business plan is going to take time and effort. Without one, however, you will be wandering indiscriminately through your business and bringing in money in a way that’s too hit or miss. You may do fair without one, but you won’t see your full profit potential unless you have a business plan in place. If you want your venture to be a hobby, then that’s up to you; conceivably then you don’t really need a plan.

Your plan is a road map to help you distinguish and reach your objectives. A good way to start your business plan is to think of where you want to end up, then start working backwards from there. What steps will you have to take? How much will you make? How will you make it? How much will you invest? What marketing campaigns will you use to promote your online business? Answering questions like these will help you make an useful plan.

The questions you ask are important. Try to think of as many aspects of your business as you can. And when answering, be as definite and distinct as you can. In fact, if you find you are giving vague answers, take that as a sign that you need to give your business plan for effective internet marketing more ideation.

Once you have asked and answered the necessary questions, it’s time to start organizing your plan. Try to arrange things in a coherent way so they make more sense. Be as linear as possible. You should also separate your plan into short, medium and long term objectives. This will help you to stay on track as your business grows.

You should be ready to make revisions to your plan as needed. You must visualize that your business is going to expand, and you won’t be able to presume how things turn out with 100% accuracy. So you need to be able to recalibrate your plan if the situation warrants it. Remember, your business plan isn’t written in stone and is there to work for you, not against you.

As you can see, one of the keys to efficient web marketing is to have a business plan. It could be reasoned that if you don’t have such a plan, then you are destined to be adrift in a sea of competitiveness. If you are just doing this for a hobby, that’s fine, but if you want to make money like a real business, then you need to treat it like one.

Best to all,

Robert

Gold still sparkles in 2012, claims AAA

January 14, 2012 straightlinepr Leave a comment

An expert who is backing gold as a top alternative investment strategy for 2012 has attracted the support of AAA, according to the advocacy group.

Boston, MA, January 14, 2012 – An expert who is backing gold as a top alternative investment strategy for 2012 has attracted the support of Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), according to the advocacy group.

AAA has said it is backing claims from former Kaana Konya and City adviser and broker, Tullett Brown, who claims that gold will continue to gain value over the coming year.

AAA’s Anthony Johnson said, “As we start a new year, many people will be looking to take a fresh perspective on their investments and may be looking to make some more alternative choices after the dire year the equities markets had.”

“Gold is a good bet as far as we can see, especially as leading analysts, such as Brown, can see it rising yet further in 2012 after a stellar year in 2011.”

The price of gold has dropped recently, after a long period of increased prices over a number of months, explained Tullett. However, this is not a time to be frightened off of investing in precious metals, he continued. Instead, investors should take advantage of this slight dip to buy up gold assets and hold onto them until the market improves later in the year.

Tullet and AAA’s argument is that all the factors that led to gold’s massive gains in 2011 are still active in 2012, such as the uncertainties over the equity markets and the Eurozone crisis. Mr Johnson explained, “People are still very wary about stocks and shares and are desperate for a tangible investment opportunity”

As a result of this demand, it is not just gold that has seen an increase in interest over recent months, Johnson added. Wine, stamps, art, antiques, forestry and property are all asset classes that gained popularity during the recession and continue that momentum today.

AAA is particularly keen to promote forestry investment as an alternative asset class that also offers an ethical choice.

Diamond Jewellery Market Growth in East

July 5, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

05 July 2011 – /RTPR/– Recent figures suggest that the market for diamond jewellery in the near future is expected to be driven by increased growth in India, China and the Gulf.

These emerging Eastern markets have demonstrated significant growth in the past few years, with diamonds proving increasingly popular as both a luxury item and a long-term investment.

By 2015, it is predicted that India, China and the Gulf will equal or surpass the market share of the US, which currently stands at 35 to 40 per cent. In 2010, India and China were already up 31 and 25 per cent respectively.

However, with worldwide reserves of diamonds at an all-time low, this new growth in Eastern countries means the balance between supply and demand is set to become more mismatched than ever; forecasts warn that demand is likely to outpace lower levels of diamond supply for many years to come.

With diamonds only getting rarer, it’s likely that the value of diamonds will continue to ascend on a global scale in the same way that gold and silver prices have already, increasing the natural treasure’s worth in the long term.

Although diamond prices have already begun to reflect the imbalance between supply and demand, the view that diamonds are an ‘investment vehicle’ that has the potential to grow – or at least remain the same – means customers are continuing to buy.

When compared to the inflated prices of gold, diamonds also – for the time being – pose a more affordable alternative in an unsteady economy.

It is yet to be seen how the rising value of diamonds will affect the production and/or prices of popular jewellery brands, popular in both the East and West, which feature diamond-encrusted pieces in their collections. For now, however, fans of Pandora jewellery and the like need not worry.

Visit the Jewel Hut, one of the UK’s leading jewellery websites, today to view an extensive collection of diamond jewellery.

National Gold Group Launches a Very Impactful Radio Campaign in Louisville, KY

February 14, 2011 National Gold Group

NGG Receives a Phenomenal Response After Radio Campaign Emphasizing the Importance of a Diversified Portfolio

Woodland Hills, CA, February 8, 2011 – National Gold Group has announced an overwhelming response to a new radio campaign which they launched on WGTK am 790 in Louisville Kentucky in mid January. The radio campaign focused specifically on educating the public of the importance of a diversified investment portfolio during these rough economic times. The campaign, which was supposed to last 2 weeks, has garnered such a large and positive response that they have opted to continue airing it indefinitely.

The large response garnered from the radio campaign has allowed National Gold Group to speak with many of those seeking a secure financial future. NGG’s COO Trevor Gerszt explains “The main goal of our Louisville campaign was to educate, and it turned out to be an unexpected hit. We are extremely pleased with both the response we have received from those wanting to learn more, as well as our opportunity to inform so many hard working Kentuckians on the importance of diversifying their portfolios with tangible assets such as gold and silver.” He goes on to discuss similar campaigns in the future, saying “We definitely want to spread our message nationwide, and after the positive outcome we have received from Louisville it seems certain that you will be hearing this radio campaign on the airwaves across the country very soon.”
