Gold and silver not only have the potential to hedge finances against economic uncertainty, but they can also protect wealth against terrifying government actions like those which we are seeing in Cyprus.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 18, 2013

The gold price climbed more than 1 percent to peak at $1,605.70 per ounce on Monday, as mounting economic uncertainty in the Eurozone reached a critical moment. Cyprus, in an effort to raise the 5.8 billion Euros demanded by EU finance ministers, announced that it will confiscate money from the bank accounts of private citizens. According to the Telegraph, this levy is set to take 9.9 percent from bank accounts holding more than €100,000, and 6.75 percent from accounts holding less. The unprecedented move awakened fears of Eurozone instability, and prompted conjectures that the same might happen elsewhere in Europe. The Euro on Monday dropped to its lowest value against the dollar since December.

Arthur McGuire, Vice President of Gold Price, says, “What’s happening in Cyprus is an outrage and investors are right to fear its implications. It’s theft, plain and simple. If it can happen in one European country, it can happen in any European country, and it’s not unreasonable to extrapolate that further to say that if it can happen elsewhere in Europe, it can happen anywhere in the world. If citizens’ money isn’t safe in the banks, then where will it be safe? The answer to that is why we saw the gold price rise above $1,600 per ounce on Monday. Gold and silver not only have the potential to hedge finances against economic uncertainty, but they can also protect wealth against terrifying government actions like those which we are seeing in Cyprus. We recommend that investors buy gold and silver now to protect the wealth they have worked so hard to obtain, before such unscrupulous practices spread and the gold price rises even more.”
