A Proven Formula:
The Investment Trilogy
Our “Investment Trilogy” is a three level gold investment process. It addresses the investor’s most critical gold diversification question:
I’m interested in gold investment—how should I do it…and why?
Blanchard and Company, Inc.’s “Investment Trilogy” answers:
- Start with gold bullion.
- Move into mint state common date gold coins.
- And, for the biggest potential return, add true gold coin rarities.
Investment Level One:
Gold Bullion.
Since 2000, American Eagles have outperformed the stock market by ten times…and many experts expect this to continue. And, American Eagle gold bullion coins are authorized to be part of IRAs and SEPs.
Investment Level Two:
Mint State Gold
Mint State Gold coins are often referred to as “bullion on steroids.” They are a performance move up from bullion. They are common date coins defined as “rare” by the government (meaning they will be exempt if the government should decide to confiscate gold again).
Investment Level Three:
U.S. Rare Gold Coins
These coins are true rarities based on quality of preservation and scarcity. One of the more highly sought after rare gold coins is the MS65 1907 $20 St. Gaudens High Relief.
As recently as March 2003, this coin could be secured for $ 32,671. Today’s price is estimated at over $50,000 - A 53% increase in only two years!
How Much Gold Should You Own?
That’s the last assessment of the Investment Trilogy. An obvious answer is to invest the amount that makes you most comfortable with your new diversified portfolio.
James Turk and John Rubino, co-authors of The Coming Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit From It have an aggressive answer to this question:
“Ask the average financial planner about precious metals, and you’ll get the conventional answer: Put most of your money in stocks, bonds and cash, and no more than 10 percent into gold as a ‘hedge’ against the highly unlikely event of financial instability. But as you’ve no doubt gathered, we view this traditional asset-allocation strategy as wildly speculative, since cash, bonds, and many stocks are at grave risk in a dollar crisis. Instead, you’re better off putting not just a bit, but the bulk, of your cash into physical gold…The more conservative you are, the more gold you should own.”
Richard Russell Seems To Agree…
“Personally, I’m not selling any of my gold for paper dollars. Furthermore, if gold rises to $500, $600, $ 700 I still wouldn’t sell gold for U.S. government fiat paper. I don’t trade gold, I only do one thing with gold—I accumulate it.”

Clearly, the diversification issue is not “whether” to own gold—but “how much” and in “what form.” Blanchard
