Money. You earn it, you spend it, you save it, and you invest it every day - but do you really know what money is?
Do you know how it is created? Do you know how it really works - and how you can use that knowledge to build your business so it can provide the security and wealth you deserve?
Do you know how to build your company into a Small Business Goldmine?
The True Nature of Money is the World's Best-Kept Secret
You may be shocked to learn this, but modern-day money, the money you earn, spend, and invest, is nothing but debt. It is loaned into existence by commercial and central banks under legal license from the government. If you do not know this little known fact, and if you don't know how to use it to your advantage, both your business and your family will miss crucial opportunities for creating real and lasting wealth and happiness.
How Does Money Really Work?
Central banks control the money-lending process and the volume of money lent into existence. This process creates inflation, which is only visible in rising prices. Inflation acts as a stealth tax on your business earnings, your savings, and your investments. If you do not know how to avoid the negative effects on inflation, your business will fail to perform at its level best. This site exists to show you how to do that.
Security and Wealth
Today, security and wealth are the receding twin-goals of all business owners and investors. Have you ever felt like someone keeps moving the goal posts every time you try to 'score'? Income taxes, employment taxes, minimum wage laws, the money you earn buying less and less every year, employment laws, licenses, permits, loan payments, lawsuits, and all the headaches that come along with running a business and investing your profits.
Regulations mushroom out of all proportions and become tighter and more restrictive all the time. This is a direct result of what today goes under the name of 'monetary policy' - and that is intimately connected to how governments work.
Only if you understand this increasingly problematic process can you define and solidify your company's position in the world of laws and commerce - and effectively protect it and yourself.
The Problem:
This system of money creation by lending, essentially the action of monetizing debt, is inherently unstable and needs constant 'adjustments' from policy makers - but policy makers are only human! They make mistakes, and their enormous power constantly tempts them to cover their mistakes up, often by doing not-so-ethical and sometimes not-so-legal things.
We can see the fruits of these temptations all around us. The current 'credit crunch' and collapsing real estate markets are living proof that over-reliance on policy makers often leads to catastrophic results. To succeed in building security and wealth, you must take control. You must take the reins back into your hands.
The good news - the fantastic news, really - is that there are very simple and very effective measures you can take to insulate yourself and your business from the effects of their mistakes and policy blunders.
The Antidote
The antidote to this instability is to build your company's and family's future on financial bedrock: precious metals - gold and silver.
Modern, debt-based wealth can be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Paper cash can literally burn. Stocks and bonds can lose all or most of their value overnight. Even large, prosperous banks can and do fail. Pension funds go broke. Corporations go bankrupt - but gold and silver are completely indestructible. They only change form. Their prices may change, but they never lose their value.
Why?
Their value does not depend on any person, company, or government living up to their promise. Take a look at how gold has performed against the US dollar over recent years:

If you sell anything online, you can protect yourself and your small business from this loss of purchasing power with only a few, small changes to your web site's code. With these changes, you can sell your products and/or services for actual, physical gold - in addition to earning dollars or other currencies.
Gold is the Safest Currency in Human History
The world's experiment with pure fiat currencies is only about 36 years old. Gold, on the other hand, has been a currency for thousands of years. Every single time a fiat currency experiment has failed, gold came to the rescue. Our most recent experiment is about to fail as well.
Since 2002, the dollar lost 35 percent of its value, while gold gained by 300 percent! Hedge your business against dollar-risk by earning gold alongside dollars - and make a tidy profit.
The same picture presents itself if you go all the way back to the year 2002, as you can see on this page. In fact, despite its ups and downs, the dollar has been declining ever since it was decoupled from gold in 1971, as this chart shows:
CHART
This trend is far from over.
Your business needs protection from the dollar's 36-year decline. Earning gold provides that protection in a convenient and painless way.
The thought of doing this may strike you as a bit strange. Chances are you have never thought about earning gold alongside other money. Yet, it's easy, safe, legal, free, and extremely profitable - so why not try it?
Why Gold and Silver?
As shown above, gold appreciates while dollars depreciate over time. As time goes on, holding dollars becomes more risky, while holding gold becomes more rewarding.
There are many reason why this is happening, and those reasons are very briefly outlined here and summarized in our Small Business Goldmine FAQ. You can dig even deeper and get invaluable monthly advance intelligence on the dollar's journey toward total collapse by subscribing to our in-house, online gold investment newsletter, the Euro vs. Dollar & Gold Monitor.
Recently, even the financial press is catching on. A recent Financial Times article had this as a headline: Gold is the New Global Currency. The only thing in the article linked to above that should be questioned is the last sentence.
What's Wrong with Earning Dollars?
Nothing - because earning dollars enables you to buy gold and silver. What's problematic is keeping dollars as a store of wealth. The charts above show you why.
To put your business on as secure and profitable a foundation as possible while the ongoing dollar-decline unfolds, you need to find ways to "hedge" or insure yourself against that decline.
Earning gold for your products or services right alongside dollars (or whatever your country's currency is called) is an effortless and effective way of doing that.
To fully understand the ins and out of gold and how the euro's creation and launch have institutionalized a multi-decade rise of gold prices in terms of other currencies, you can try out a subscription to the Euro vs Dollar Gold Monitor. The Monitor provides an in-depth examination of the debt-based nature of the current world monetary and financial systems in monthly, incisive issues. You also get a weekly heads-up of the latest developments in the precious metals, oil, and bond-price indexes, with forecasts of the coming week's likely market moves.
