The truth behind what really
crashed the bullion market...

Why it'll slingshot gold to
$2,500 an ounce or more...

And how it sets YOU up for
optimum gains of up to 456%

Dear Reader,

People have been trading with gold since 3,100 BC – that's more than 5,000 years.

But even in all that time, what's been happening in the global gold market since April 12th of this year...

Has never occurred before.

And even though this historic occurrence is virtually guaranteed to send gold skyrocketing to $2,500 an ounce within the next 12 months...

The financial mainstream is completely clueless about it.

If you're wondering, "What the hell is this guy talking about?" right now...

That just proves my point.

Nobody – anywhere in the media...

Has even come close to reporting what's really driving the gold market right now.

If they had, you'd have spent the last three months pouring every penny you've got into plays on this situation...

Like the two specific trades I'm about to show you.

Now, don't worry...

It's not too late to get in on these. And you don't have to be a "gold bug" to do it.

You just have to stay with me here – as I blow the lid off this virtually unreported opportunity.

And let me be clear about something right up front: I'm not talking about making a typical 20%, 30%, or 40% on your money...

You could do that by simply buying gold – or even in the stock market at large.

I'm talking about something that's potentially 10 times as lucrative as this...

A moneymaking move that could score those who know the truth potential gains of up to 456%!

Without buying a single ounce of bullion.

And that's just the beginning. Over the next few minutes...

I'm going to show you how to get in front of dozens of lucrative opportunities that this historic situation will trigger.

No, I'm not exaggerating about that in the least.

The secret "gold coup" I'm about to expose has set in motion a virtually unstoppable chain reaction...

That could lead to the biggest sustained moneymaking opportunity of your lifetime.

In fact, what I'm about to show you could generate nearly $8 trillion in wealth for in-the-know traders...

Over just the next 12 months!

But I'm not asking you to take my word for any of that.

I'm going to prove it to you six ways from Sunday – starting right now.

The undeniable – yet virtually unreported –
proof of a secret market "coup"

Hello, I'm Alex Williams.

I'm the Associate Publisher at Money Map Press in Baltimore, Maryland.

Here at Money Map, we've assembled a group of renowned experts covering the entire gamut of investing and trading.

From basic and advanced plays on stocks, bonds, options, and indexes...

To booking huge gains in oil and energy, technology, metals and commodities...

To capitalizing on longer-term emerging market and "global macro" trends...

We've got all the bases covered – with knowledge and tactics you won't find anywhere in the financial mainstream.

The shocking true story I'm about to unfold for you is a perfect example of this.

I'm a 12-year veteran of the money and finance publishing world...

But if it weren't for one particular member of my Money Map team – a 35-year Wall Street insider I'm going to introduce you to in a minute...

I'd never have known what's really going on in the gold market right now.

Or just how big an opportunity there is for incredible gains over the next 12 months as a direct result of the secret "gold coup" he revealed to me.

Understanding this one occurrence – and the unstoppable chain reaction it has set into motion...

Is the key to potentially scoring multiple triple-digit wins of up to 456%. Or more.

Now, we've found four key pieces of evidence proving that this "gold coup" I'm talking about took place...

And NONE of them have ever seen the light of day in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, or on any network news broadcast.

Here's that evidence right now...

EXHIBIT A: HISTORY'S BIGGEST UNEXPLAINED GOLD "CRASH"

As you'll recall, the price of gold slid 13% in the six months following its most recent peak – $1,794 per ounce in October of 2012.

But nobody...

Not even the dozens of mainstream analysts who'd more or less written off gold investing during this steady decline...

Would've predicted what happened on Friday, April 12th and Monday, April 15th.

That's when bullion plummeted another 13% – more than $200 an ounce...

In just 16 hours of trading!

Now, I want to make sure you realize the significance of this $200-an-ounce free fall.

Because it's a crucial piece of evidence proving the existence of the hidden "gold coup" I'm about to show you.

The fact is – though few in the mainstream media seemed to know it...

This was by far the most extreme drop in bullion prices in the 5,000-year history of gold as money.

In nominal terms, it was more than triple the next closest crash – a two-day drop of $62.50 per ounce in February of 1983.

And as you'll also remember, starting the morning of the next trading day...

Analysts and think tanks all over the world began issuing half-baked theories about what may have caused this "flash crash" in gold.

Some said it was just a correction – or a sudden "mass awareness" of economic recovery.

Other pundits blamed the Cypress debt crisis, slowing Chinese growth, tax hikes on imported gold in India...

Or central bank actions, the Bitcoin market, a suddenly stronger dollar – and a whole host of other theories...

But they were all grasping at straws.

None of them knew the real story behind this crash. And they still don't today.

So there's your first piece of evidence that somebody pulled a massive "coup" on the world bullion market...

The biggest crash in the history of gold – which can't be accounted for with any of the mainstream's explanations.

The second piece of evidence is something only a handful of people in the entire world have ever seen...

And it proves that gold's "flash crash" wasn't really a crash at all.

EXHIBIT B: SMOKING GUN REVEALS "COUP" GROUNDWORK

As any economist will tell you, crashes happen naturally from time to time in the free market.

But as we've just established, what happened to gold on April 12th and 15th wasn't natural in any way.

That's what prompted Money Map's resident expert on market manipulation...

A distinguished, connected Wall Street veteran you'll meet in just a moment...

To start calling in favors and poking around in obscure documents to find out exactly why gold fell so far, so fast over those two trading days.

And what he discovered was like something out of a Tom Clancy thriller.

The actual cause of history's biggest and fastest collapse in gold prices...

Was a secretive market "coup" orchestrated by six of the most powerful behind-the-scenes gold traders on the planet: The bullion banks.

A "bullion bank" is a large, international bank that's authorized to serve as a conduit through which central banks (like The Fed) can loan their gold out into the market.

That's a fancy way of saying they're the ultimate inside players of the gold world.

They know all the angles on gold – before anyone else on Earth.

And as you're about to see, they're rich and powerful enough to move the bullion markets all by themselves...

Completely under the radar of mainstream investors and financial analysts.

Currently, there are only six "bullion banks" in the world.

Now, because of the legal risks of exposing a coordinated market-manipulation scheme that directly incriminates these banks...

I won't name them in this forum.

But believe me – ALL of them have names you'd recognize.

And on the morning of April 12th, they executed a coordinated "coup" aimed at temporarily seizing control of the world bullion market...

The goal of this coup was to pillage $1.2 trillion worth of gold asset value from investors, mutual funds, and pension and retirement plans the world over.

Here's the "smoking gun" proving this – dug up from the archives of the CFTC:

As you can see, starting as early as January of this year, the six bullion banks...

And a couple of the biggest trading houses they're cronies with – again, whose names I can't mention because of the potential legal ramifications...

Began amassing huge short positions against gold.

Based on days of global production needed to cover them...

These leveraged gold shorts were almost three times the size of their next-largest commodity short bet – against coffee.

And a whopping five times as large as their next closest metals short, on copper...

Ten times larger than their wheat shorts...

Even an incredible 25 times bigger than their short plays on crude oil!

Looking at this data, do you think maybe the bullion banks knew something about the future of gold prices the rest of us didn't?

It would be almost impossible to conclude otherwise.

Now, obviously, for the bullion banks' leveraged short plays to pay off huge...

The gold market had to tank huge.

And that's where the third piece of evidence comes into play...

EXHIBIT C: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA SPIN CAMPAIGN

The next step in this "coup" was to plot out the precise moment when a raid on gold would have the biggest impact...

That moment turned out to be April of this year.

Conditions were perfect to nudge bullion into a historic crash.

At that time, gold prices had already steadily declined over a period of six months, and trading volume was thin...

Meaning that a relatively small, coordinated sell-off in gold could easily snowball into a full-on crash – which was the ultimate goal of this "coup."

It was the perfect time for the bullion banks to launch a propaganda campaign aimed at de-stabilizing the gold market...

And creating doubt in the minds of millions of rank-and-file gold investors.

To this end, the bullion banks recruited a number of high-profile major international banks and trading houses...

No doubt cutting them in on the "coup" in exchange for their help.

Now again – I won't taunt their huge and powerful teams of lawyers by naming them directly...

But I can tell you that on April 10th, one of these "crony" institutions suddenly recommended that its clients short gold...

Then they immediately went on the offensive in the Wall Street Journal, saying:

"We see risks to current prices as skewed to the downside as we move through 2013. In fact, should our expectation for lower gold prices continue to prove correct, the fall in prices could end up being faster and larger than our forecast..."

Also in April, a certain French mega-bank whose name would not be too hard to guess issued a perfectly timed 29-page report about the end of gold.

Basically, it was a hatchet-piece against gold – predicting things like:

"Gold may have had its last hurrah."

And that conditions were developing to create:

"The perfect storm to start a longer-term bear market."

They weren't the only ones spreading the gloom, either. A spokesman for another major international trading bank was widely quoted in the media as saying:

"We feel that downside risks are building for gold."

They also abruptly reversed their own previous forecast for bullion prices...

Which called for gold to rebound to $1,790 an ounce by the third quarter of 2013!

Now, this coordinated propaganda campaign alone should be clear enough proof for anyone that the fix was in.

But it's nowhere near the most damning evidence we've been able to gather.

That came immediately on the heels of this media blitz against gold...

When investors' anxiety was at its highest.

EXHIBIT D: A PERFECTLY TIMED MARKET ASSAULT

The last step in the bullion banks' coup was to flood the futures market with enough "paper" gold to trigger a mass sell-off...

Which would make the gold shorts they were already holding worth a fortune.

The opening salvo of this attack happened Friday, April 12th – within minutes of the opening bell on the New York gold futures market.

Starting just after 8AM...

A stunning 3.4 million ounces worth of gold futures contracts for June delivery were dumped into the market all at once.

The effect was immediate.

In minutes, gold fell below an important psychological barrier – its 2012 low point of $1540 an ounce.

But that opening shot wasn't intended to crash the gold market...

It was just to gauge the market's resistance – so they could calculate how big their main attack needed to be in order to send gold into a tailspin.

And that attack began at precisely 10:30 AM. Take a look:

Contracts for a whopping 10 million ounces – more than 312 tons of gold – slammed into the futures markets in less than 30 minutes.

This hammered the price of gold down to well under $1,500 an ounce.

Now, the timing of this sell-off is very revealing.

By launching the main attack at that time of the morning, it ensured that overseas gold markets – especially London...

Would still be open to feel the hit, and put even more downward pressure on gold.

Also, by wreaking havoc with gold prices on a Friday, the coup's masterminds ensured that for two solid days between trading sessions...

The "gold crash" they engineered would be front and center on every TV money show, every radio financial hour – even in the mainstream news.

And that come Monday, when trading resumed...

Bullion would crash all by itself on investor panic to get out of anything gold related.

As you'll recall, that's exactly what happened. On mass investor hysteria, gold fell farther on Monday, April 15, 2013...

Than on any other day in the history of money!

So, you add all this up...

• Bullion banks and their cronies stockpiling gold shorts months in advance

• A coordinated propaganda campaign aimed at destabilizing gold investments

• A market attack so huge and precisely timed that it could only have been pulled off by the bullion banks

And you've got undeniable proof that this secret "market coup" is what really caused gold's historic crash.

Now, without having access to their books, or knowing precisely how their short plays were leveraged...

It's hard to compute exactly how much the bullion banks made from this coup.

But as I mentioned earlier – based simply on its destruction of asset value in the world gold market, it could've been as much as $1.2 trillion.

That's how much money the millions of people who were holding gold or gold-related assets actually lost.

And since we've just shown how a handful of mega-traders – the bullion banks and their cronies – were on the winning side of the deal...

You do the math.

But what's more important than how much money their brazen actions made them...

Is how much money these same actions could end up making you.

Let me show you that right now...

Claim YOUR share of an
$8 trillion wave into gold assets

As I touched on earlier, this historic "gold coup" has actually created tremendous opportunities for big gains.

I'm talking multiple double- and triple-digit wins of up to 456% or more.

But you can only score these kinds of wins if you've got the facts...

If you can see the unstoppable chain-reaction of conditions that are about to unfold in the gold market because of this coup...

And if you know exactly how to play it.

Now, in just a moment, I'm going to lay out this progression for you...

It's a scenario that almost has no choice but to send gold skyrocketing up to as much as $2,500 an ounce.

I'm also going to offer you two ways you can play the situation right now – for potentially huge short-term gains...

AND show you how to get in position for perhaps dozens more big wins on a coming $8 trillion wave of capital this coup kicked off.

But first, I want to introduce you to the man who revealed all of this to me...

You might recognize him from his appearances on CNBC, Forbes, FoxBusiness, Marketwatch and others...

His name is Shah Gilani.

Shah is Money Map's Capital Markets Strategist...

And he's got a financial pedigree unlike anyone you'll ever meet in your life.

Shah's run numerous successful hedge funds since 1982 – and served for years as a pit trader at the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the OEX.

He's also run options, futures, and fixed-income trading desks at prestigious international banks, like Lloyd's TSB and Roosevelt & Cross in New York.

He even played a pivotal role in popularizing the VIX Index.

And because of everything he's done in more than 30 years in the trading trenches...

Shah's got the most impressive network of contacts I've ever seen among the biggest players on Wall Street and in international finance.

Contacts that give him the real story – when others only get what the market-manipulators want them to see.

Couple this with Shah's unique ability to see through the inaccurate assumptions and false conclusions of mainstream analysis...

And you've got one of those rare "master traders" who can see the real forces directing capital through the markets.

This is Shah's secret to a track record of gains that any trader on Earth would envy.

Here are just a few of the scores he's led his readers to...

Again, this is just a quick snapshot...

In just the last three years, Shah's led his readers to more than 70 double- and triple-digit winning picks.

He does this by pinpointing what he calls "capital waves."

These are subtle, sometimes hidden movements of large amounts of capital from one segment of the market to another.

These waves don't always make the headlines...

But they're always making in-the-know traders like Shah incredible money.

According to Shah, capital waves can originate from just about anything:

• Policy changes that suddenly alter the investing or trading landscape

• Political unrest that causes people to flee one asset class in favor of another

• Government announcements like GDP or labor reports that sway markets

• Diplomatic upheavals that can change the outlook of regional markets

• Radical market events like sudden corrections or full-on crashes

• Natural disasters or accidents like the Fukushima nuclear incident of 2010

• Manipulation of the markets by central banks or ultra-powerful traders

The point is, there are always "capital waves" beginning, ending or in motion.

And if you can see them before others do...

Determine where the capital is moving to and from...

And get your money in front of the opportunities these waves create...

You can get very rich, very fast.

Which brings me to the mammoth wave into gold and gold-related assets that Shah's predicting as a result of April's historic "coup."

He says it's the biggest capital wave he's ever detected.

And he's eyeing up dozens of way to play it...

The two most urgent of which you'll discover in just a moment.

Ironically, even though this wave began with one of the most shameless market manipulations in history...

What's going to drive it forward is simple supply and demand.

Here's how he sees this $8 trillion capital wave cresting...

And how he sees it making you rich – without having to buy a single ounce of gold.

The four reasons why bullion banks have
suddenly GONE LONG on gold

In light of what I've shown you about bullion banks and gold market manipulation...

What would convince you beyond any possible doubt that Shah's right to predict a historic rebound in gold over the next 12 months?

Yes – it's if the bullion banks started accumulating long positions on gold.

Well, barely a month after their "coup" to intentionally crash the gold market to cash in on their multibillion-dollar shorts...

The bullion banks have suddenly completely reversed their stance on gold.

That's right: As of May 14th of this year, the bullion banks are "net long" on gold for the first time in six years.

Now, if that doesn't get you juiced up about the chance to bank dozens of triple-digit wins on a sudden upside move in gold...

I don't know what ever could.

Why are the bullion banks betting on a gold comeback all of a sudden?

According to Shah, there are four virtually unstoppable drivers that prompted him to tell his readers on June 21st:

"I believe spot gold is going to $2,500 in a year."

And all of them are in chain reaction to the "gold coup" that rocked the markets on April 12th and 15th of this year.

Here they are right now...

$2,500 GOLD DRIVER #1: MINING IN CRISIS

Getting gold out of the ground, processed, and refined into its final bullion form is incredibly expensive.

Now, when the price of gold is high, and trending higher over the long term – like it did from 2001 until late 2011...

It's economically feasible for miners to go after gold that's more difficult to get.

In other words, they can afford to process the metal out of a mountain of ore rock at rates as low as five grams of gold per ton...

Because of the high price of gold, these miners are still turning a profit.

And because they're making a profit and increasing their gold production, investors pour money into their stock.

This gives the miners additional operating capital to go after more and more difficult-to-get gold.

But when gold prices tank...

The miners take it on the chin first – and hardest.

In fact, since gold peaked at $1,920 an ounce in the fall of 2011...

Investments in gold miners have declined 65% off their respective peak.

And a whopping 37% of this decline has happened just since the "coup" in April!

That means that the average gold miner is now working with just 34% of the investment capital they were at the peak...

While at the same time, they're only selling their gold for 62.5% as much money.

That's a double-whammy that's forcing gold miners across the board to adopt what's called "high grading."

That means shifting their concentration to only the highest-grade gold deposits, in order to control costs and stay afloat.

Now, I didn't realize this until Shah told me – but with gold in the $1,300 range...

Which is significantly higher than where it's trading now...

As much as 30% - 40% of the world's gold production would not even be possible.

In fact, the global average cost of mining an ounce of gold is $1,200...

But not all mines have reserves that are extractable for this figure.

Labor and fuel costs can vary wildly from location to location, too. These factors – coupled with "high grading" and other measures...

Could put a major damper on global gold production in 2013.

Now here's the really shocking part: The $200-an-ounce crash in prices that April's "gold coup" caused...

Rendered 15% of the world's gold miners unprofitable overnight!

The truth is, some well-knownglobal gold producers are facing the possibility of having to close down a number of their operations right now...

Companies like Canada's Semafo, Inc., Golden Star Resources, Ltd., and others.

There have already been two major mine closures in South Africa so far this year – with several more being considered.

And Tanzania – Africa's fourth-biggest gold-producing nation...

Has warned that the current slump in gold could result in massive mine closures.

It all adds up to this: Because of depressed bullion prices ever since the "coup" gutted the gold market...

Global gold production isn't going anywhere but down right now.

And that stands in stark contrast to what's happening in global gold demand.

Case in point...

$2,500 GOLD DRIVER #2: CHINA'S SYNDROME

Gold demand in China has been increasing for years. In fact, it was up 20% year over year at the end of the first quarter of 2013...

And remember, that was before the "gold coup" sent prices into the basement.

Now, China's already the world's number one producer of gold. They produce around 12.5 million ounces of gold bullion every year...

And they don't export any of it.

In fact, China has banned all bullion exports – and requires that its gold miners sell all of their gold to the People's Bank of China.

But even this is nowhere near enough supply to meet their demand.

You see, perhaps more than any other people on Earth, Chinese citizens view gold as a permanent store of value and stability...

And they've been stockpiling it ever since the ban was lifted on private gold and silver ownership back in 2002.

The Chinese government has even been aggressively promoting private ownership of precious metals since 2009.  

And speaking of the Chinese government, I don't think I need to go into too much detail about their relentless gold hoarding over the last few years...

Everyone knows they've increased their gold imports every year since 2000...

In fact, 2012's total of a whopping 920 tons nearly doubled 2011's 475 tons of imported gold.

But again, all of that was before the "gold coup" of April 12th and 15th, 2013.

Right now, in the wake of that price crash, Chinese gold demand is at a fever pitch...

Since the "coup," the call for bullion in China and neighboring Hong Kong has been as much as 500% higher than normal.

There are literally no lengths China won't go to right now to get their hands on gold...

Including buying up gold miners left and right, all around the world.

In 2012 alone, China spent $2.9 billion on foreign gold mining acquisitions.

This included a takeover by Zijin Mining Group – China's largest-volume gold producer – of Australia's Norton Gold Fields...

And state-owned Shandong Mining's takeover of Focus Minerals, also in Australia.

There have been numerous other deals over the last few years, too – in many parts of the world.

However, since April's "gold coup" drove bullion prices into the dirt...

The action has been fast and furious.

In fact, on April 16, 2013 – the day after "the coup" caused gold's biggest one-day drop in history...

Zijin Mining made an aggressive bid for Australia's Kalgoorlie Mining Company.

Inside sources report that Zijin is also preparing a bid right now for three of Canadian giant Barrick Gold's mines.

In May, China's Kingwell Group announced plans to make an offer for a controlling interest in Brazilian Gold Corp....

A Canada-based miner with a major gold project in the northern territories of Brazil. 

And another Chinese miner – Shandong Qixing Iron Tower Company – agreed to purchase the gold assets of Australia's Stonewall Resources Ltd...

Shandong is also in talks right now to invest in Chaarat Gold, a mining project in mineral-rich Kyrgyzstan.

Now, these are just a few of the deals in the works right now.

The bottom line is that with gold at historic lows – and with gold miners beaten into the dumps...

Cash-rich China is going on a major shopping spree.

Now, we're going to get into how to make money on this situation in a moment...

But first, let me briefly show you the next rebound driver Shah clued me in on.

$2,500 GOLD DRIVER #3: INDIA'S "YELLOW FEVER"

India's insatiable gold demand is nothing new.

Every year, that nation is either the world's biggest importer of gold – or the second-biggest, behind China...

But unlike in China, the Indian people place a greater emphasis on gold for jewelry and ornamentation than for storing value, or as a currency.

Not many people know this – but the jewelry market generally accounts for 45% of global gold sales.

However, this ratio goes even higher when gold prices are low.

And in the first quarter of 2013, when the "gold coup" happened...

Global jewelry-related gold demand was historic – topping 600 tons.

Since the mid-April "gold coup" I've been talking about, India's demand for both raw gold to manufacture jewelry...

As well as demand for gold jewelry itself...

Has gone positively ballistic.

In fact, in just the three days following April's crash in gold prices, Indians bought as much as 16.5 tons of gold – that's 528,000 ounces...

This is twice as much gold demand as a year ago.

That's despite the fact that India has some of the heftiest import tax on gold anywhere in the world...

And that fact that the Indian government recently jacked up these taxes by a whopping 50%!

But it's not slowing the rabid pace of India's gold imports and purchases at all.

In fact, Indian gold imports in May alone topped 176 tons...

That's nearly double the average monthly rate.

And according to the World Gold Council, India's gold imports for the second quarter of 2013 could be 150% higher, year over year...

Now, when you put all this together with record-setting Chinese demand as well...

Then throw in a ton of cost-cutting measures at the world's gold mines – plus a scary number of outright closures...

You've got an unstoppable global gold crunch on your hands.

One that's going to send the price of bullion through the roof in no time flat.

But another huge potential factor at play here – something nobody in the mainstream is talking about.

It's a never-before-seen demand driver that could send bullion up to nearly $2,500 an ounce all by itself...

Practically overnight.

$2,500 GOLD DRIVER #4: THE PENSION PARADOX

There's a "wild card" factor in the global gold demand equation that virtually no one's looking at: Japanese pension funds.

What a lot of people don't realize is that Japan's government and private pensions are second in size only to the U.S.

Together, there's the equivalent of over $3.36 trillion sitting in these funds, waiting to be disbursed to Japan's aging population.

Until very recently, none of these funds held any kind of gold or gold-related asset. But that's changing fast.

That's because, like the U.S. in recent years...

Japan's newly elected Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has embarked on a program of radical spending increases and "unlimited easing measures."

Abe has pledged to continue this course of action for at least two years, with the primary goal of fostering 2% inflation.

It's having the desired effect, too...

Since April 4th, the yen has fallen against all 16 of the global currencies it's most commonly traded against.

Needless to say, Japan's throngs of elderly pensioners aren't happy about this...

Since yen deflation gives them stronger purchasing power – which stretches their pension dollars farther.

Now, to combat this coming inflation, Japan's pension funds are increasingly looking toward gold.

For instance, The Okayama Metal & Machinery Pension Fund – which manages retirement assets for 260 small and medium-sized Japanese companies...

Has already pumped as much as $600 million worth of yen into gold holdings.

That's an asset allocation of 1.5%.

A number of other local pension funds have recently put $2.1 billion yen into the Mitsubishi UFJ Trust, a gold-backed ETF...

That's a 2% - 3% allocation.

And another 200 Japanese pension funds have signed on for a new program offered by the Mizuho Trust & Banking Co....

That program includes a 3% allocation in gold.

Now, these allocation numbers may not sound very big...

But here's the part that's going to blow your mind.

If every Japanese pension fund moved into just a 1% allocation in gold to combat yen inflation over the next two years...

And this sort of move is looking especially attractive right now – with gold prices in the basement ever since April's gold coup...

That one factor alone would send the price of gold up 29%, to $1,552 an ounce!

And if they all went to a 3% allocation in gold, it would send bullion rocketing to $2,258 an ounce!

Now, according to Shah, this demand angle isn't just about China, India, and Japan...

The decline in bullion prices kicked off by the "gold coup" has spurred a run on gold all around the world...

Europe, the U.S., Russia, Dubai, Mumbai, Shanghai – you name it.

In fact, by April 18th, just three days after the coup...

Gold buyers outnumbered sellers by a ratio of nine to one at some major global bullion dealers.

And that's not even to mention the fact that global central banks are buying more bullion tonnage now than at any other point in nearly 50 years.

The bottom line is this: Because of the bullion banks' "gold coup" back in April...

We're now facing a chain reaction of conditions that could radically decrease global gold production...

While radically increasing global gold demand at the same time.

And looking at all the evidence I've just laid out for you...

It's really no wonder that Shah's calling for $2,500 gold by this time next year, is it?

As you'll remember, that's also the way the bullion banks are now betting.

And you should, too.

Let me show you how you can get started doing that right now – the right way.

The secret to more than 70 "capital wave" wins
of up to 238%, 371%, even 455% – and more

As I touched on earlier, I've been in the financial publishing business for a long time.

I've seen just about everything come down the pike.

That's why I knew that Shah Gilani was the real thing the moment I met him.

Actually, "met" is the wrong word.

I discovered Shah back in February of 2008 – when a Wall Street acquaintance of mine forwarded me a plain-looking email one evening...

All it said at the top was "Friday Night Illumination."

I was intrigued, so I read it. It began like this...

A lot of people ask, "What's up with this market and the talk of a credit crunch and possibly a recession?" So I'm going to illuminate the shadows and point fingers...

What followed was a bunch of wild assertions about the dismal financial state that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in...

And the government's efforts to cover up the mortgage industry's shady practices, or as Shah called it, a "moral hazard."

At the time, his predictions seemed outlandish – and flew directly in the face of a lot of well-known mainstream analysts.

Things like:

This is heading one way, SOUTH... What that means is that these over-leveraged, under-capitalized, inadequately regulated institutions with their proven to-be-fraudulent accounting practices are likely doomed.

And:

... Home prices will continue to fall. Folks, the credit crisis has just begun. We will see banks fail and MANY hedge funds implode spectacularly. LOOK OUT BELOW.

After reading this, I clicked out of the email and forgot about it. It just seemed a little crazy to me at the time.

And when my Wall Street friend kept sending me Shah's "Friday Night Illumination" letters every week, I ignored them...

Until just before Thanksgiving of that same year. I remember it clearly.

I was sitting there, at my desk, shaking my head over the insane state of the stock and housing markets...

When I remembered Shah's "crazy" emails.

Regrettably, I'd only saved a handful of them. But what I read in those stunned me.

Things like this, from March 9th:

The majority consensus is that "if" we're in a recession it will be mild and we'll start growing out of it by the second half of this year. WHAT?

Newsflash! Our consumer-driven economy is like a super-super tanker. It takes a super tanker as much as 10 miles to turn around. There's no turning on a dime here...

And he was absolutely right.

By Thanksgiving, the Dow was down more than 6,000 points off its peak – and we were in the throes of the worst economy since The Depression.

On April 4, 2008, Shah wrote:

The systemic world-wide credit crisis we're facing has its origin, not in the low-interest-rate environment and easy credit courtesy of the Fed, but because the instruments, bonds and securities created by investment banks are complex and are far riskier than was ever understood, which means they were rated highly when in fact they were toxic waste.

Again, he was exactly right – although no one in the mainstream was framing the debate in these terms until months later...

And on April 18th, Shah made one of many "crystal ball" calls I've seen him make:

Does anyone really believe that real estate prices are stabilizing? The estimates that I agree with point to a likely further drop of another 30%.

Bingo. The Case-Schiller 20-City Home Price Index fell from 170 at the time Shah wrote those words...

To 137 at the bottom, in 2012. That's almost exactly 30%!

I could go on and on. Just these dozen "Illumination" emails I'd gotten threw the curtain back on everything...

The fraud of mortgage-backed securities and The Fed's "discount window."

The truth about the Bear-Stearns and Lehman debacles.

The risks of credit-default swaps, CDOs, CLO, and other "derivative derivatives."

Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg...

My point is, these dispatches proved to me that Shah was an "insider's insider."

As I came to find out, his "Friday Night Illuminations" were only being sent out to a small, secretive list of super-influential Wall Street traders...

That's right: A lot of Wall Street movers and shakers rely on Shah for inside intel.

This is why I knew we had to hire him.

So I did, and in 2010, we launched Shah's flagship service with Money Map Press.

It's called Capital Wave Forecast.

With Capital Wave Forecast, Shah goes beyond simply predicting where massive waves of money are going to flow to and from in the markets...

He shows you what these capital waves really mean – instead of what the market-makers (like the bullion banks) want you to think they mean.

And most importantly, he shows you exactly how you can best profit from them.

The proof of this is plain as day, in the Capital Wave Forecast model portfolio...

Which boasts one of the most stunning track records I've ever seen in over a dozen years in the financial publishing business.

As I mentioned before, in just the three short years Shah's been at the helm of Capital Wave Forecast...

He's led his readers to 74 double- or triple-digit wins.

This includes fast-moving gains of 197%, 218%, 238%, 371% – even as much as 455% and 456%!

The wild part is how fast a lot of them came...

For instance, Shah's 371% pick on the FTSE China 25 scored those gains in under three months...

His 455% recommendation on the SPDR came home in less than two months...

His 456% win on Goldman-Sachs options rang up in less than 10 weeks...

And one of his TWO triple-digit winning picks on the FXI took just six weeks to pay off 238% gains.

What's even more incredible is how many of these winners his Capital Wave Forecast readers could have cashed out simultaneously...

For instance, on May 7th of 2010, Shah closed out three picks – two of them triple-digit wins – for combined gains of 346%...

On a smaller capital wave that lasted just over two weeks!

On January 21st of 2011, he closed out nine low-drama, double-digit winners for 165% combined gains.

On August 8th of 2011, in the middle of a major market correction...

Shah cashed out four wins – all of them in the triple-digits – for a stunning 1,478% combined returns!

He had another stellar day on May 25th of 2012, when he pulled the trigger on three "sell" recommendations for 384% combined gains...

But that was nothing compared to the incredible day he had just a month later, on June 27th...

That's when you rung up 15 winning trades at once – a record for his Capital Wave Forecast service.

But the hits didn't stop there.

On February 4th, Shah cashed his readers out of 3 double-digit wins for a combined 135%...

Then on June 25th, he closed the books on three more trades – all of them double or triple digits – for a combined 230%.

And so far in 2013, Shah's closed picks are averaging 40% gains, with a number of triple-digit wins in the mix…

Like an even 100% – in just three weeks on the dot…

And 108% in less than a month.

That's the secret of "capital wave" trading.

Capital waves come in all shapes and sizes. And they can last from minutes to years.

But when a wave ends, Shah calls for a liquidation of all positions...

Which gives Capital Wave Forecast readers the chance to clean up huge, all at once.

And speaking of cleaning up huge...

Shah's pinned down two super-urgent plays on the $8 trillion capital wave he sees developing right now in gold-related assets.

Here they are right now...

One "wave" – potentially dozens of wins

According to Shah, there are going to be dozens of ways to play this capital wave back into gold for solid – and probably huge – gains...

Without having to buy a single ounce of gold bullion.

I know for a fact that he's looking at plays on jewelry and jewelry manufacturers.

Also shipping companies, mining supply and field services companies...

Banks and firms that specialize in physical gold storage and secure transport...

He's even talking about potential plays on electronics companies – since gold is starting to be used as a manufacturing commodity in that industry.

And just based on his past history of picking winning trades for Capital Wave Forecast readers...

I can tell you there are likely to be options trades galore – on all of the above, and more.

There will surely be leveraged trades on both the precious metals and mining company indexes as gold marches up in price...

And as Shah's track record has proven, plays like these can sometimes bag investors upwards of 456% on their money.

In mere weeks.

Right now, however, the two most urgent picks Shah's recommending on this historic gold situation...

Both happen to be stocks, and they both happen to be gold mining companies.

But don't let that throw you – these are miners with a twist.

THE WORLD'S LEANEST, MEANEST MINER

The first miner Shah's recommending may well be better able to thrive in the current pricing climate than any other gold miner on Earth...

It's got aces in spades.

For one thing, this firm's President and Executive Chairman are two distinguished veterans of the gold mining industry.

You can't put a price on good management or field experience – especially in tough, competitive fields like mining.

And in that field, these guys are among the crème de la crème.

According to Shah, they've both served as President or CEO of gold mining companies that are now practically household names...

Also, the management is heavily invested in this company – to the tune of over $100 million worth of shares. That's always a good sign.

All of the above explains why this relatively new company is such a rising superstar.

Let me give you some of the high spots...

Unlike some miners, that may be great at finding gold, but lousy at getting it out of the ground – or vice-versa...

This company is heavily involved in all aspects of the mining process: Exploration, extraction, and refining. And they're experts at all of it.

That's why they're able to pull gold out of the ground for only $875 per ounce.

This is far less than most gold producers – and miles below the $1,200 average global cost of extracting an ounce of gold.

In other words, this company is still very profitable at gold prices that would put more than half the industry out of business!

Another feather in this miner's cap...

They also have some of the industry's lowest costs for copper mining – which is a by-product of their gold mining.

This icing on the cake gives investors some diversity. And some cushioning.

Copper is an industrial commodity, and rarely moves in lockstep with gold. So this company's share price isn't 100% dependent on the whims of the gold market.

Another bonus is that its mining territories are all in politically stable zones – places like the U.S., Canada, Australia, Chile and Mexico...

You'd be surprised how often that's not the case with miners.

They're also steadily increasing both gold production and revenue. From 2010 to 2012, they ramped up gold production 7.5%...

But managed to grow their revenue more than 49% – to $791.3 million!

Yet despite all the arrows in their quiver...

This company is trading right now just off its 52-week lows – and well below its 200-day and 50-day moving averages.

Their forward P/E is 14.9 – significantly less than the market's P/E of 16...

And their share price today is 40% less than the median analyst target for the stock!

That's why this is such an urgent play. It's a trader's dream. Aside from the fact that gold itself is headed for the moon...

This firm's already grossly undervalued, by any reasonable measure. That's the twist.

And as today's beaten-down gold prices separates the men from the boys in the mining industry in the near future...

Shah fully expects that everybody under the sun will soon be scrambling to buy shares of this hidden, five-year-old gem of a miner.

In fact, he could see their share price doubling in the very near future...

Heck, it could double today and still be below some analysts' price targets!

So really, this firm could more like triple over the next six months or so. Easily.

And maybe a lot more...

CHINA'S SHARKS ARE CIRCLING THIS MINER

Shah's second gold mining company is a horse of a different stripe...

But that doesn't mean it's not potentially just as lucrative.

It's a firm that's taken some lumps in the last year – and according to Shah, that's part of what makes it attractive.

Right now, its price is beaten down because of a prolonged work stoppage at one of its two gold mines.

That's one of the reasons it's trading at just off the bottom of its 52-week range – and is down 40% over the last three months.

But it won't stay that depressed for long...

Because the labor standoff has just been resolved – and the affected mines have been re-opened.

Which means that its share price is likely to bounce back up to where it's supposed to be at virtually any minute...

Especially since Goldman-Sachs just upgraded the stock!

Now, this is all well and good – and it makes for a solid pick that could easily double off its lows over the next six months...

But it's not what really makes this a super-urgent play with potentially huge upside.

The "twist" on this company is that it's very likely one of the most attractive takeover targets on the planet...

According to Shah, at least one – if not multiple – Chinese state-owned gold mining companies are licking their chops over this firm right now.

There are four reasons for this.

The first two are obvious – today's low gold prices and this firm's beaten-down share price...

Another reason is that this company is a recent spin-off of a larger mining firm.

That means it's got far less baggage than a bigger, older miner might bring to the buyout table. It also means that it's cheap.

In fact, at a market cap of right around $700 million...

This firm is right in the sweet spot for any Chinese miner bent on growing bigger without breaking the bank.

The last reason is location.

This company's located in Africa – but not in a politically unstable part.

And if there's one thing we know about the Chinese, it's that they're all hot and bothered about Africa's resources...

Oil, copper, platinum, uranium, gold – whatever.

If it's in the ground in Africa, China wants it.

That's why the PRC has dumped $75.4 billion into over 1,400 projects in 50 African nations since 2000...

And boy, would they love to expand their large-scale gold-mining presence in Africa.

Right now, that presence is minimal. But that could change overnight if one of China's state-owned mining interests scoops up this company.

Now, given that this firm's already trading far below where it should be...

Plus it's in a spot that Chinese mining firms are dying to get a foothold in...

Shah estimates that this is another play that could easily triple investors' money – perhaps in very short order.

But that can only happen if you're holding shares when such an offer hits...

Which could literally happen any minute.

That's why I want to rush you all the details on these two picks right now...

So you can get into position on them before they explode into the double- or triple-money wins Shah's expecting them to become.

Now here's the best part: Getting Shah's complete write-up on these – their names, ticker symbols, financials, profiles, and extended analysis...

Is easy, fast, and FREE.

Here's how to do that right now...

How to nail six triple-digit winners
over the next 12 months...
GUARANTEED

OK, here's the straight-up deal – no beating around the bush.

All you need to do to get Shah's detailed write-ups on these two urgent, potential triple-money picks right away...

Is agree to accept a risk-free trial subscription to Shah's Capital Wave Forecast trading research advisory service.

Now, right up front, you need to know that your subscription is 100% money-back guaranteed in two different ways...

Take a look at this:

You see?

There's no fine print in our one-of-a-kind "6/60" Guarantee.

Right out of the gate, you've got 60 full days to review everything that Capital Wave Forecast has to offer – 100% money-back guaranteed...

And I'm also guaranteeing that Shah's service will offer you at least 6 opportunities to double your money (or more) over the next 12 months!

Or again, you can get 100% of your money back.

Even as much as a year after signing up.

And here's something else I'll guarantee...

That you've never seen a 100% money-back promise this good anywhere – on any financial research product.

Now, this might seem like an outrageously bold guarantee to offer you...

But remember... I've seen his incredible track record.

I've watched him play capital wave after capital wave for 74 double- and triple-digit wins – and counting – in just three years...

I've sat there in stunned silence as prediction after prediction of his has come true...

And as his readers have raked gain after triple-digit gain – scores like:

But more compelling than all of this...

I've got hundreds of letters in my files – almost all of them gushing with praise...

Like H.P. Tanner, from Minneapolis, who wrote in to tell us:

"I am absolutely thrilled to be aboard. The first recommendation gave me a profit of more than 10x my subscription in 2 days!"

New trader Eric Duneau of White Sands, Arizona, sent Shah this kind note…

"One year ago I wouldn't have thought that someone in the world could make 1,000% in 3 days. Nor that I could make $36,000 profit in 3 days. Now I know it is possible."

Then there was Vicki Shepp, a 61-year old grandmother from York, Pennsylvania. She wrote with this no-nonsense field report:

"I am very pleased with your [Capital Wave Forecast] research service. I took gains of 87%, 145%, and 102%... No complaints there."

Again, these are just a few representative samples of the great experiences people are having with Shah and his Capital Wave Forecast service...

I've got stacks more I could show you.

My point in showing them to you is to prove that the guarantee I'm offering on Capital Wave Forecast is actually not over the top at all...

It's actually quite conservative.

I could probably get away with promising you even more than six triple-digit winners in the coming year...

Especially if Shah's right yet again about this $8 trillion capital wave into gold assets.

OK, now that all that's been said...

I'm sure you've made your decision to try Shah's Capital Wave Forecast, risk free.

So all that's left now are a few details...

Like how much you'll get – and how little it costs.

Which would you rather have: An ounce of gold – or a year's worth of triple-digit wins on bullion's jump to $2,500?

First off, let me just show you everything that comes with your 100% money-back guaranteed subscription to Capital Wave Forecast...

Sign up now, risk free, and you'll immediately start receiving:

Shah's an absolute blast to listen to, and these members-only conference calls are where you'll get some of his most in-depth analysis and education on capital waves, and the lucrative opportunities they lead to.

Now, I'm sure you'll agree that this is an exceptional value at just about any price.

I shudder to think what a one-hour private consultation from any other Wall Street "insider's insider" would cost...

If you could even find one.

Frankly, it would probably be at least ten times as much as the regular price of Capital Wave Forecast...

Which is just $3,500 per year.

Now I ask you: Where else in the financial world can you get a veteran Wall Street insider's research, perspectives and picks...

With SIX of those picks money-back guaranteed to give you chances for at least 100% gains – or more...

For just three grand a year?

A lot of people spend more than that on their dogs.

But hold the phone a minute.

Because this "golden capital wave" Shah sees coming is so urgent and potentially lucrative for so many people...

And because he wants to help as many people as possible make money in today's unfair, manipulated market...

Shah has graciously allowed me to offer you a very special price on Capital Wave Forecast.

Starting right now – and for a limited time – you can sign up for the Capital Wave Forecast research advisory service...

For the price of an ounce of gold at one of its lowest points in recent weeks.

On June 27th, late in the trading day, the spot price of gold briefly sank below $1,200 an ounce.

So that's where we've set our very low, very special, and very temporary price...

Right now, just $1,199 buys you a year's worth of Shah's Capital Wave Forecast.

That's more than 65% OFF the regular price.

Think about it...

Which would you rather have?

An ounce of gold – which would roughly double in value in the next year, based on Shah's $2,500 price target...

Or a money-back-guaranteed SIX chances to at least double your money over the same time period?

And maybe a lot more.

One option could hand you around $2,500 in appreciation value...

The other could make you six times wealthier than you are right now.

To me, it's a no-brainer.

But maybe that's because I've had the last three years to see, firsthand, exactly what Shah Gilani can do.

To see how frequently he sniffs out lucrative "capital waves" for his readers to double, triple – even quadruple their money on...

To see him cut through the noise, again and again...

To the shocking truth about just how manipulated and jerked-around our supposedly "free market" really is.

Like he did for you today...

By exposing the secret "coup" that's the real reason why gold is in the tank now.

I'm spoiled. I see these kinds of eye-opening revelations out of Shah every day.

So yeah, if it were me...

I'd take Shah's Capital Wave Forecast over a pound of gold.

But the choice is yours – I can't make if for you.

And the time is now...

If Shah – and the bullion banks who are now betting big on gold – are right...

You may only have days, or even minutes, to act before bullion begins to shoot up to $2,500 an ounce...

Kicking off a "capital wave" worth as much as $8 trillion.

To make the most of it, you need to be in position on Shah's two most urgent plays before this rocket ride begins.

Remember, Chinese state-owning interests are no doubt circling one of these miners like sharks right now...

If you wait even one day to sign up for Capital Wave Forecast, it may be too late to cash in.
