Jim Cramer : Gold Is Not a Bubble

Jim Cramer : If you have more than twenty percent of your assets in Gold that's the only time you should sell ( I have more than 80 percent of my assets in Gold and I am not selling a bit , so I beg to disagree with Jim Cramer here ) and people who do not have twenty percent or minimum ten percent should using any weakness to buy , any weakness , I am looking for an alternative to the debasing of world currencies and silver is not that says Jim Cramer regarding the Silver , Gold is not a bubble , what gold is , is an alternative that's what it is getting it is getting alternative status it is changing its asset class and that's why it is not a bubble it is a reconfiguration

Jim Cramer : no portfolio is complete without GOLD

Jim Cramer : Gold is not in a bubble , gold is not just another commodity , Gold is a reserve currency an incredibly scarce currency "....the seemingly inexorable rise in the price of gold. now, i have said it a million times and I'll say it again, your portfolio, no portfolio's complete without some exposure to the pressure metal. from 2000 to 2010, gold increased in price every single year. and over that period, it beat the performance of the s&p 500. i think it has the power to go higher. see, gold is not in some kind of a bubble. you hear that chatter all the time. I've been hearing since I've been recommending it when the show started. i know people look at the rally over the last few years and conclude it's got to be a bubble, it has to be a bubble. anything that goes up that far that fast is doomed to crash down harder and it's some sort of law of gravity that's supposed to govern the markets. it doesn't work like that, ladies and gentlemen, it's not a bubble. this is, in fact, one of the simplest and easiest to understand stories out there, and it's not about interest rates. this is a scarcity story that's all about supply and demand. people all over the world want to own gold because it holds its value when paper currency is being devalued as it is all over the world. the amount of money that's being printed globally is outrageous. and gold, this stuff, is the best hedge out there against the power of the printing press. you know it even worked in Germany, it will work again. and that's why there's so much demand for gold in the people's republic of china. the people there don't trust their government. they certainly don't trust their currency. it's why central banks have been buying the stuff, they used to be sellers. gold is not just another commodity like copper, aluminum and lumber, it's a currency that hold its value. you don't bring lumber to -- when you're on the road, you don't say, hey, I've got lumber with me, it's worth something everywhere i go. this works everywhere. and even better, it's an incredibly scarce currency. the scarcity value alone is enormous. because it's not like we've been finding vast new gold deposits. as someone who went to the exhibit of king tut in Cairo, it helps to remember there was more gold in that one exhibit than found in the entire world in the last few years. it's a pretty limited supply of the stuff, but demand keeps increasing. limited supply plus higher demand equals higher prices. now, throw in the fact that gold's the world's oldest status symbol. and you can understand the demand for jewelry coming from rising middle classes and fast-growing emerging markets like china and India. this demand from Indian wedding season alone is enough to make gold a terrific buy at the beginning of September every year. sounds crazy, right?"

Jim Cramer : Gold is a currency not a commodity

Jim Cramer : Silver Silver Silver that's all anybody seems to be interested in everywhere i go. it's the hot button on twitter @jimcramer. holy cow, check that out. it was the major focus of panel i was in new york city last night about precious metals. it's what i hear in the street and it's in my e-mail box constantly. first, let me just say when it comes to precious metals, i like gold. I've liked gold for ages. and I'm not changing my posture now. i think it's a currency, not a commodity. thing is a demand and not enough supply. when demand soars, particularly from central banks. we learned mexico is buying. while supplies stay the same, prices go through the roof. you know my order preference. i like bullion the most, then the gld, the gold etf, what it trades at. and only after that would i go for the stocks of the gold minors. my favorite is goldcorp gg for you home gamers. we heard from last night. a good story. since i like gold, i haven't felt the need to get behind silver because as my friend tom caplan, a legendary metal investor put it silver is gold on steroids. I've got enough problem with the volatility of gold whom. needs silver. you disagree? look at the monumental collapse in this metal. silver is a poor man's gold with industrial exposure they don't need at this point in the cycle. even worse, silver has been overrun by day traders using ETFs. and that makes it too hard to game or even speculate on where the price will be a day from now, let alone a week or a month or year. so my bottom line on bimetallism is this. i like gold. silver is too hot to handle. i'm simply taking a pass. stick with gold. don't crucify your portfolio on a cross of silver. stick with Cramer.

Jim Cramer, this sell-off is about market mechanics, not the fundamentals,

COMEX Silver for May delivery dropped another $3.152 per troy ounce Or 8% to $36.23
Jim Cramer : all things gold and silver got pounded again today. as people who bought them with borrowed money were force the to put up more cash or get blown out of their positions. something i have been warning you about all week. this sell-off is about market mechanics, not the fundamentals, so i'm not backing away from gold as a fantastic long-term money-making theme. you need to have gold in your portfolio. now that it's begun to pull back and pull back hard, it's time to consider building a position slowly if you still don't have any exposure to the shiny stuff. remember, my playbook is simple. i like bullion, actually gold bars.
