Gold is respected throughout the world for its value and rich history, which has been interwoven into cultures for thousands of years. Coins containing gold appeared around 800 B.C., and the first pure gold coins were struck during the rein of King Croesus of Lydia about 300 years later. Throughout the centuries, people have continued to hold gold for various reasons.
In November, gold futures posted gains in all but two trading sessions, and they've started December with advances. Meanwhile, holdings for gold exchange-traded funds hit another high.

The U.S. dollar's moves have been big news lately as well, and the long-term trend of the dollar is down. After rising throughout most of 2008 as the credit crisis unfolded and people sought the safety of the dollar, the currency has been on a sustained slide for the past 12 months.
The fact the dollar is down and gold is rocketing up are not totally unrelated. Although the U.S. dollar is one of the world's most important reserve currencies, when the value of the dollar falls against other currencies as it did between 1998 and 2008, this often prompts people to flock to the security of gold, which raises gold prices.

The price of gold nearly tripled between 1998 and 2008, reaching the $1,000-an-ounce milestone in early 2008. The decline in the dollar occurred for a number of reasons, including large budget and trade deficits and a large increase in the money supply.
Read on to see how to put the Midas touch in your portfolio.

8) Exclusive Special Report! “Can The Book Industry Turn The Page On A Disastrous Recession?” |
|
Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report.
Summary: Book sales fell 1.5% from 2007 to 2008. Customers are turning to internet sites such as Amazon to meet their needs rather than traveling to their local bookstores. New technologies are also fueling the decline of book industry fixtures such as Barnes & Noble and Borders Books. Gadgets like the Kindle and Sony Reader are further popularizing the concept of e-books at the expense of in-print versions. Publishers too face challenges as they struggle to uphold their copyrights in the face of massive scanning sessions by large companies in an attempt to post novels online. How will these shifts in technology affect the book industry? Which companies will profit and which will perish? We will discuss these questions and other changes that might occur.
Stocks Covered: Barnes & Noble (BKS), Borders Group (BGP), Amazon.com (AMZN), McGraw-Hill Cos. (MHP), Sony (SNE)
Target Returns: Up to 29.9% or 151.4% Annualized*
Downside Protection: Up to 19.0%
Investor Level: Beginner to Advanced
Risk Level: Moderate Relative Risk
