For centuries, mankind has been obsessed with shiny pieces of metal known as gold. Even today, investors the globe over often flee to gold in times of economic instability because it has often functioned well as a hedge against inflation and a falling currency. True to form, gold has been on a tear of late, having soared to over $1,200 -- a 374% gain -- from its July 1999 low of $252.80 an ounce. Gold is a pretty easy sale these days. But gold hasn't skyrocketed because of out-of-control inflation, which has risen at a less than 3% annual pace since July 1999.
Many investors are raising concerns that strategies put in place by central banks across the globe to reactivate the world economy and steer it away from a depression will ultimately debase the Dollar and Euro, among others, and result in staggeringly high levels of inflation. Gold is usually an inflationary hedge or haven in down markets, but that does not seem to be what is happening at the moment. A pullback is expected but has not yet arrived. Investors appear to be unsure about stocks and would rather put their money into gold.

Gold has proven to be an asset that has low correlation to most financial assets, both in expansionary and recessionary periods. There are, however, some important relationships that can explain, in part, the behavior of gold over the short or long run. For example, gold exhibits a strong negative correlation to the dollar. Gold can also be shown to outperform other assets such as stocks and bonds in times when inflation is on the rise.

Consider the impact that money supply has on the performance of gold, in a global context. There are two main reasons why there can be a surge in money supply. First, it can increase as a consequence of economic growth, which in turn may not result in higher inflation. Conversely, if central banks increase the money supply to induce growth - as they have done as a result of the financial crisis that started to unfold in 2007 - and too much money is introduced into the economy for too long, this may result in inflationary pressures, according to classic economic theories of monetarism.

Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report.
Summary: Over the past year, the market has gone from being one of the scariest markets ever to one of the most boring ever. After hitting multiyear lows then going on a historic ten-month rally, it looks like we could be headed for an extended period of market stagnation coupled with one of the weakest economic recoveries in American history. Where can investors turn for a safe investment with modest but reliable returns? We may have found an answer to that question in the utility industry. With a stable business model, steady dividend payments, and a promising future, this oft forgotten industry could be a new source of profits for savvy investors.
Stocks Covered: Xcel Energy (XEL), Dominion (D), Wisconsin Energy (WEC), FPL Group (FPL),Center Point (CNP), Duke Energy (DUK), and more…
Target Returns: Up to 12.4% or 43.8% Annualized*
Downside Protection: Up to 15.7%
