How Capitol Hill could make you filthy rich

Imagine for a moment, that you knew about certain factors - already in place - that would cause the price of gold by... say... as soon as next month to start skyrocketing.

Even better, you knew you were facing a "bottom" in gold prices... and that this imminent surge could last a couple of years.

Taking advantage of this one-of-a-kind investment at the right time, you'd be able to ride the coming wave and easily collect a fortune - safely pulling in twice the gains gold makes.

Best part is, unlike other investors who are buying expensive futures contracts or even physical gold, you don't need a lot of money to get started.

All you need to know is when...

Well, thanks to the boys on "the Hill," we don't have to look for any crazy trends around the corner, pore through complicated computer models, or rely on so-called overpaid experts to tell you when gold prices are going to surge.

It's happening right now!

And if you look at the $700 billion for T.A.R.P... another $787 billion in failed "stimulus"... $800 plus billion for a health care bill on the table... etc, you can start to see we're in for some serious trouble.

There are no two ways about it. We're now staring straight at the largest inflationary period in years.

And it'll blow gold prices wide open... well above the $1,050 we're at right now!

You know it. Broke USA doesn't really have the cash on hand for these unprecedented spending bills... and if you think for a second that every single employed American is going to be taxed an additional $5,000 this year to pay for it - in an already stretched thin economy... think again.

In reality, the only option that the Fed has is to print more (and I hate to call it this) Monopoly Money.

That much cash is already sending an inflationary shockwave across the entire nation. Just take a look at what's happened to the dollar over the past six months!

As I'm sure you know, when there's inflation - even the rumor of inflation, the gold price does something beautiful... it skyrockets.

And the proof that gold's already revving its engine is all around us...

• The private sector's recently gobbled up in excess of $30 billion worth of T-Bills - enough to guarantee a negative return - over fears of the coming economic crash.
• On top of T-Bills, investors seeking safer investments are buying so much physical gold that bullion dealers as well as producers can't keep up.
• Recently gold prices have steadily soared almost 14% - with another 50% surge expected in the near term.

And that's just for the short term. I haven't even mentioned the juiciest part.

History To Repeat:
Why Gold Prices Could Super Spike To $5,000...
Making you a massive fortune along the way!

Right now, gold sells for around $1,000 an ounce.

But what if you knew about the factors at play, happening this very moment, that could soon make the $1,000 mark look like pocket change?

Heck, with the investment tool we uncovered, with gold at $1,000, you'd be turning every $5,000 into $7,500.

Now, just to get an idea of what to expect in the future, after 2009's inflation already has you sitting on a mountain of cash, let's take a quick look at our last massive gold super spike...

During the great gold bull market of the 1970s, the average monthly gold price increased from under $35 to over $675 an ounce... representing a 1,833% gain.

If today's gold bull market makes similar moves forward, gold prices could skyrocket well past $5,000 an ounce. Just take a look:

Now gold prices at $5,000 may seem like a stretch, especially considering the metal hasn't had much strength over $1,000. Nevertheless, $5,000 gold is absolutely possible. Here's why:

How a Gold Bull Market Works

Every major gold bull market in modern history has consisted of three main stages:

1. Currency Devaluation Stage

2. Investment Demand Stage

3. Mania Stage

During these three stages, gold prices typically rise in a parabolic upswing, which ultimately results in a sharp, skyrocketing price spike. (Take a look at the 1970's gold bull market chart above, as an example of this phenomenon.)

So far in today's gold bull market, we've seen evidence of the first two stages:

During the first stage of a gold bull market, prices increase because of currency devaluation.

So far in this bull market, a dramatic drop in the value of the U.S. dollar against other world currencies has lifted gold prices over the past 7 years - breaking the $1,000 per ounce mark. In fact, this devaluation is evident in the 42% drop of the U.S. Dollar Index between the summer of 2001 and spring 2008.

And now, thanks to the massive banking bailout that we can't REALLY pay for, we're about to add some TNT to an already highly-explosive situation.

In the second stage, gold prices continue to grow due to increased investment demand. Attracted by the modest gains of the first stage of the gold bull market, investors begin to buy gold as an investment, which further snowballs the price of gold higher.

And with today's screaming demand for physical gold, the introduction of gold ETFs - and similar products - investment demand has had incredible strength since the beginning of this gold bull market, growing in terms of both tonnage and dollar demand.
