Gold's recent pullback may present a buying opportunity for investors. JP Morgan analysts stated in a recent report they believe gold may gain as much as 10% by the end of this year due to physical demand in India. This view was echoed by a UBS analyst who wrote in a September 2 report, "Our analysis indicates that the Indian wedding and festival season has had a positive effect on the gold price since 2002. This suggests that we could see a strong recovery in the gold price in the last four months of 2008."*

To encourage investors to take advantage of current gold prices, Goldline has announced a limited time offer. When you acquire twenty-nine Brilliant Uncirculated Swiss 20 Franc gold coins, you will receive a free PCGS certified 2008 MS-70 First Strike Uncirculated 1/10^th American Buffalo gold coin. The Buffalo uncirculated coins are notable because, unlike the bullion version, each uncirculated coin carries the "W" mintmark which denotes the West Point Mint where the coins were struck. Each coin has been independently graded and certified by PCGS to be in perfect MS-70 condition. Goldline has committed its limited inventory of MS-70 coins to this special; these coins cannot be purchased individually from Goldline (although you may acquire the coin as part of a four coin set).

In addition, your purchase qualifies for Goldline's Price Guarantee Program which allows purchasers to re-price their acquisition should the price of their coins drop within 14 days of purchase (see Goldline's Account and Storage Agreement for full details). Goldline has a never before offered this special before and supplies are limited. Call Goldline at 1-800-827-4653 and speak with an Account Executive for more details.

The U.S. Mint recently introduced fractional versions of its popular 24-karat, pure gold (.9999 fineness) coin, the American Buffalo. This beautiful coin, nicknamed "The Buffalo," was based upon American sculptor James Earle Frasers revered Buffalo Nickel of 1913. Until recently, only one ounce versions of the Buffalo were available.

Goldline acquired proof and uncirculated sets containing the one ounce, half-ounce, quarter and tenth ounce coins which have been independently certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as "First Strikes", PCGS proprietary trademark that is reserved for coins packaged and delivered by the U.S. Mint within 30 days following the initial sales date. The proof and uncirculated First Strike sets are also graded to be in either MS-69 or MS-70 condition and encapsulated to preserve their mint condition and First Strike status. Fewer than 100 sets are available from Goldline for each grade. You can order your First Strike 2008 American Buffalo sets today by calling your Account Executive at 1-800-827-4653.

International investment bank Credit Suisse advised clients that gold presents a buying opportunity before it resumes its rise towards $1,000. According to an August 11, 2008 article from the Bullion Desk, Credit Suisse's most recent weekly report stated, "Overall, we think that gold prices around $850-860 remain buying opportunities..." Credit Suisse pointed to continued dollar weakness and a worsening financial environment as factors which will help push gold prices higher.

In an article entitled, Gold, Oil Ratio 'Out of Whack' After Declines: Chart of the Day, Bloomberg.com reported, "The CHART OF THE DAY highlights the "black gold ratio," showing how much gold it would take to buy a barrel of oil. The ratio rose to 0.1538 of an ounce on June 12, the highest since at least 1950, and averaged 0.066 since 1970. Based on historical averages, if oil falls to $100, gold would go to $1,515 an ounce." The August 8, 2008 article also quoted an analyst from Barnard Jacobs Mellet USA who stated gold may outperform crude oil in the next six months as a result of increased sales in India, the world's biggest consumer of gold.

Sean Corrigan, chief investment strategist at Diapason Commodities Management, told CNBC that gold will resume its upward rise. In an August 8, 2008 interview, Mr. Corrigan explained, "As the credit crisis reintensifies and we see credit default rates going up and credit spreads widening - these will be the things that will give gold another leg..." "But Gold will rise again 'either when dollar weakens or when central banks come back more aggressively with monetary policy, which will happen sometime before the end of the year'..."

That's the prediction of Christopher Wyke, fund manager for Schroder Investment Management, Ltd., which manages $277 Billion in assets. According to a June 19 article in Bloomberg.com, Mr. Wyke told reporters, "You could easily see for the next several years that prices rise not to $1,000 an ounce, but prices rise to $5,000 an ounce or beyond as inflation psychology becomes more and more embedded and people become desperate to have a source of value..." Mr. Wyke explained that investors are turning to gold as two-thirds of the world's population must face rising inflation.
