Hidden Treasure

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Matthew 13:44
Treasures are precious things which are not common. Only few people found them, and such people are considered lucky in life. Treasures have values of varying grades. Men fight wars, and search diligently to get treasures but soon lost them to robbers, death and others things stronger than them.

The treasure of man comes at a high cost, and does not last, but the treasure of God lasts for ever, and it comes free. Man searches for treasure, but God is looking for man to deliver His treasure to him.

5 Most Popular Gold Coins

One way to invest in the precious metal gold is to purchase bullion coins. A bullion coin differs from a numismatic coin because its value comes from its precious metal content, not because the coin is rare or has historical significance. Experts recommend that investors hold bullion coins, leaving the numismatics to collectors. The most widely circulated bullion coins contain 90 to 99.99 percent pure gold and weigh one ounce.

China Buys 47% of the World's Gold

1.3 Billion Inflation-Nervous Chinese Look to Gold for Protection

By Greg McCoach

China is panicking.

Rampant inflation is driving Chinese consumers to buy gold on a massive scale...

In fact China is already set to buy almost half of all the gold that'll be mined this year.

You read that right: The Chinese may buy nearly 50% of total world gold production in 2011.

This incredible demand will no doubt put significant strain on global supplies.

Today I want to talk about how this soaring demand may be the catalyst that pushes gold prices over the $1,500 level in as little as a few weeks.

Over 1.3 billion inflation-nervous Chinese eye gold

In January 2010, China recorded an inflation rate of 1.5%. But just 12 months later, the rate of Chinese inflation has climbed to 4.9%.

Rising inflation has sent food and property prices in China skyrocketing.

How Much Gold is in the World?

Greg McCoach, Editor of The Mining Spectulator and Greg McCoach’s Insider Alert gives a specific measurement of how much gold is in the world.

The total amount of gold production, worldwide, is 50 million troy ounces per year. But the amount of physical gold that currently exists above ground – which is within the market- visually looks much less daunting than anything 50 million ounces worth!

“What people need to realize is, they call it precious metals because it really is so rare. If you took all of the physical gold that exists above ground in the world and melted it down into one giant cube, that cube would measure 20 yards, by 20 yards, by 20 yards. It’s a tiny market.”

That figurative cube of gold would measure to be the length and width of two volleyball courts side-by-side, while being 20 yards thick.

That is an incredibly small amount of metal for something that is used as one of the most valued investments throughout the world as prices continue to rise! To give you a better idea, we here at Wealth Daily, have created a scale to show you just how much gold that would be if melted down into a cube with the image below.

Yamashita Treasure : Golden Lily Investigation

	Golden Lily investigation Mass Murder, Slavery, Torture, Lies, Misinformation and Human Misery on a Global scale.      Keyhole Artists Golden Lily investigation 2004 The Rape of Asia Golden lily was the codename given to a project instigated by the Japanese Imperial family. The aim of the project was to rape Asia of its precious metals and mineral resources to feed the industrial revolution back home and the wealth of the Imperial family. In 1895 after the first Sino - Japanese war, Japan seized Southern Manchuria and Formosa (Taiwan). Japanese Yakuza gangsters used Manchuria for poppy production to subdue and further impoverish the local population. Korea In 1910 after decades of political interference and manipulation the Imperial Japanese army annexed Korea and the looting began in earnest, Palaces, Temples and Ancient Royal Tombs were  ransacked, stripped bare of their gold, silver and bronze artifacts and works of art. Eyewitnesses to the looting say they even stole doorknobs from private houses. Any metal that could be of use to the imperial economy was looted, graded and then melted into ingots for transfer by ship back to the motherland. Women and girls were kidnapped from their families and forced to work as comfort women (prostitutes) to service the Japanese army. Men and boys were conscripted into the army or forced to slave labor on the imperial family's further expansion plans. Nobody knows how much gold and precious metals were in Korea and China at the turn of the 20th century. The accumulated mass of thousands of years of  collection and  refining in a region of the world which is abundant in natural deposits can neither be guessed at nor confirmed ... for the best part of 40 years the Japanese transferred unhindered, the bullion by ship to the motherland, to be hidden in giant vaults underneath the Imperial palace and underground storage facilitys in the mountains around Tokyo Nan king After Korea, China again felt japans aggression when they occupied all of Manchuria in 1931. Six years later they launched a full-scale invasion of China. Slaughtering, raping, looting and burning wherever they went. The Japanese had the utmost hatred for the Chinese and this racism fueled one of the most outrageous incidents of the Second World War.  The rape of Nan king.  Commanded by Imperial Prince Asaka (Emporeror Hirohito's uncle) the Imperial Japanese army slaughtered more than 369,000 civilians and prisoners of war and raped and mutilated 80,000 women over a period of 6 weeks . While the soldiers went about their bloodlust Specialist teams of  looters stripped the ancient Capital City. The Japanese removed some 6000 tonnes of gold from Nan King's  treasury alone  and much more from the homes and offices of the leaders of Nationalist China        (Click photo to watch a Video of the Massacre) ... Real Player needed  369,366 Chinese men, women and children were slaughtered by  Japanese troops  in Nanking and its vicinity during the 1937-38 massacre Singapore On December 7th 1941 the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and launch invasions of Thailand, Hong Kong, Burma, northern Borneo, Malaysia, Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and other Pacific islands. 2 months later. February 8th 1942 the Japanese attacked Singapore.     RISING SUN Singapore at the time was part of the British Empire. Some 90,000 British, Indian and Australian troops, as well as ex-pats with no combat experience were enlisted into the peninsula's defense. 100,000 soldiers and ex pats of various nationalities were taken prisoner, some 9,000 of these unfortunates died building the Thailand to Burma railway. Meanwhile back in Singapore 50,000 Chinese was ethnically cleansed by the marauding Imperial army. This event was to become known as the Sook Ching Massacre (The term Sook Ching is chinese and means "a purge through cleansing". This operation was overseen by a certain General Tomoyuki Yamashita. Golden Lily operatives couldnt belive their luck as they robbed the dead and their dwellings in this International Port City Philippine's The Japanese entered the Philippines through the Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. The allies declared Manila an open city and withdrew to the Bataan peninsula and Corrigidor Island. Banks and treasuries in Manila emptied their vaults of gold and precious metals for transfer to the Manilta tunnel on the fortress island of Corregidor. After five months of withering violence Corregidor fell to the Japanese in May 1941. The surviving 100,000 soldiers and ex-pats were stripped naked, divested of their personal effects and forced marched from Bataan to San Fernando in blazing sunshine some 65 miles away. 14,000 died on route suffering the effects of battle fatigue, dehydration  and malnutrition. Those who couldn't march any further were murdered on the spot. The Japanese had no respect for the concept of surrender. Prisoners of war were treated to savage and deliberate cruelty, fed on a starvation diet, forced to work hard labor, often excavating caverns and tunnels in obscure locations throughout the Philippine Islands.  Never to be heard from again... Bataan It became impossible in 1941 for the Japanese to transfer the bullion to Japan by ship due to American submarine activity in the South China Sea .So it was decided by Golden Lily to hide the gold, gems and other treasures in secret locations throughout the Philippines. A locomotive used to transfer prisoners and bullion  across the central plains of Luzon  The Japanese were confident of holding on to the Philippines in the event of a peace treaty with the allies. So for the next two and a half years deep caverns (the size of Olympic gymnasiums) and intricate tunnel networks  were dug by prisoners of war to facilitate the storage of the treasure. When each site was completed, the prisoners were either murdered or buried alive with the treasure. The final inventory and sealing of the tunnels was overseen by Imperial Prince's Takeda and Chicibu who visited each of the estimated 175 Imperial treasure sites. These two War criminals escaped by submarine from Appari in Northern Luzon as the Allies closed in on General Yamashita and his crew of desperado's in the nearby Kalinga mountains  (They surrendered to American troops, carrying 6KG. gold bars to try buy their way out of retribution)  Cowards and Criminals GHOSTS OF FORT SANTIAGO  THOUSANDS OF  PRISONERS OF WAR  WERE DROWNED HERE IN MASS EXECUTIONS DURING WORLD WAR  2 Immediately after the war American intelligence agents tortured the driver of General Yamashita and discovered the locations of  12 major sites. Instead of returning the treasures to its rightful owners the American government kept the recoveries secret (From this moment on the United States of America relinqushed its calim to be protector of freedom)  They used the precious metals to set up a covert slush funds to fight communism called the " Black Eagle Trust " in multiple internationl bank  accounts. (Paying uncounted millions to fascists in Italy to Stem the natural socialist inclinations of Europeans) The Vatican were involved as well as the spurious gold relinqushed their bank accounts and further enabled the brainwashing of  billions  of so called christians Ferdinand Marcos  dictator of the Philippines 1965-1986, made secret recoveries from an estimated 30 sites during his reign before he was kidnapped by American intelligence and held under house arrest in Hawaii ...  Most of his stash amounting to several  hundred thousand metric   tons of gold bullion were siezed by the American's and salted away to covert right wing bank accounts ... Marcos was then murdered by the same when he was of no further use  to them .

Marcos The  Japanese made recoveries in secret as well. They came streaming back to the Philippines in the mid 80's. Under the guise of friendship they built parks, roads, and schools and gave substantial donations to political figures so as to get them do their bidding. Buying various plots of land for corporate exploitation they are able to recover portions of the lily at their convienence. Meanwhile Ronald Regan used Golden lily funds to finance the massacre of civilians in Central America. His previous  Republican party associates launched unprecedented war's   of attrition against the people's of South East Asia. (Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea etc.) Using the  stolen weath,  against the people they stole it from, the Amerixans killed millions  of citizens in South East Asia.

How To Buy Gold Bullion

If you are currently considering the purchase of gold bullion, you need to research your options and invest some time into gaining the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision. To do otherwise is an open invitation to becoming the victim of costly errors and serious consequences at the hands of gold scammers and hucksters.

Bullion consists of a quantity of a precious metal, usually gold, silver, platinum or palladium, assessed by weight and purity, usually cast as ingots, bars, or coins and sold by major banks and gold and silver bullion dealers. Almost all bullion will have a purity of greater than 90%.

Bullion coins, as distinguished from numismatic coins, are minted from precious metal, usually gold, platinum or silver, and bought for investment purposes from major banks, coin dealers, brokerage firms, and precious metal dealers. Their primary value is based on the content of precious metal contained in each item. Prices fluctuate constantly as trades are made on the world’s metal markets. Numbering among the best-known bullion coins are the American Gold Eagle, the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Kangaroo Coin, and the progenitor of the bullion coin, the South African Krugerrand.

Investing in bullion or bullion coins can be a big, expensive decision. Consider the following points:

1. Know the items melt value. The weight of precious metal in any bullion or collectible coin is widely available. Just multiply the weight times the current spot price, and you will have the melt value.
2. Find a reputable financial advisor you trust who has specialized precious metals investment knowledge. Try finding other investors, and ask about their experiences.
3. Shop around. Most banks offer gold bullion, sometimes with a lower markup than dealers. For coins, you can search for other dealers who sell them or you can look at recent sales of the coins on EBay.
4. Get an independent appraisal of the specific item or assets you’re considering. The seller’s appraisal could be inflated.
5. Consider any additional costs associated with a bullion investment. Insurance may need to be purchased or a safe deposit box rented, or you may need to arrange for offsite storage to safeguard your bullion. These costs will cut into your bullion’s potential returns. Homeowner’s insurance may have limits on the amount of gold they will insure, or you may need an additional rider – you will need to check with your insurer. Check about bullion or jewelry insurance as a separate policy. You may get a better price compared to a rider on your homeowner’s insurance.
6. Be wary of buying bullion that won’t be delivered to you, but rather sent to a secured facility by the seller. Without taking delivery, how do you know the metal even exists, is of the quality described, or is properly insured.
7. Beware of sales pitches that minimize risk or claim that any written risk disclosures are mere formalities required by the government, and therefore unnecessary. Reputable sales reps are upfront about the investment risks involved with your purchase.
8. Refuse to be goaded into an immediate decision, regardless of the consequences. Remember, bullion is a commodity item, there is plenty of it out there, available from a large number of sources.
9. Research the seller. Enter the company’s name in a major online search engine. See if other people have something to say about their experiences purchasing from the company. Try to communicate offline if possible to clarify any details. In addition, contact your state Attorney General and local consumer protection agency. Checking with these organizations in the communities where promoters are located is a good idea, but realize that it isn’t fool-proof: it just may be too soon for someone to realize they’ve been defrauded or to have lodged a complaint with the authorities.
10. Ask for a guarantee or certificate of authenticity for the bullion’s precious metal content. Research the company behind the guarantee or certificate because certificates of authenticity can be faked.

Avoiding Scams and Rip-offs

Gold and silver bullion scams often involve false claims about value, content or rarity:

False Claims – An unscrupulous seller may overprice their coins, lie as to the bullion content, or pass off ordinary bullion coins as rare numismatically valuable collectible coins. Some fraudulent dealers may even try to sell coins that aren’t bullion coins at all or are only plated with gold. Others may try to sell bullion pieces produced by private mints with the same design as coins from the U.S. Mint and the mints of other governments, but in different sizes. Your best defense is to research the market and choose your seller carefully.

Leveraged Investment Scams – Leveraged investments are high-risk investments that can result in the loss of even more money than you originally invested. The typical scam features a telemarketer or website stating the the price of gold is set to skyrocket and that heir special “insider” knowledge with guarantee you significant profits. You need only put down small payment for the metal, maybe as low as 20 percent. This allows you to control more precious metal, and reap greater profits.

You have, however, borrowed money – perhaps as much as 80 percent of the metal’s purchase price – from a financial institution that claims it will hold the metal for you, and charge you monthly storage fees and interest charges. Instead of billing you directly for these fees , your equity in the investment will be reduced an equal amount. If your equity falls below a certain level (for example, 15 percent of the current market price), the financial institution will issue an equity or margin call, requiring the payment of additional funds to bring your equity to their minimum requirement. Failure or refusal to pay results in the lender selling the metal to pay off your loan. If the loan is not fully covered by the sale proceeds, you will get an additional bill for the difference.

Leveraged investments are high-risk because you are subject to equity calls if the price of the metal fails to increase sufficiently to offset accruing storage and interest charges.
