Hard Money: Taking Gold to a Higher Investment Level

Praise for Hard Money

"Shayne McGuire has broken the mold twice: initially by creating the first gold fund within the U.S. pension system, and now for writing this indispensable volume on why gold belongs in everyone's portfolio. When the financial history of this era is written, Mr. McGuire will figure prominently for his clarity and vision."
—Thomas Kaplan, Chairman, Tigris Financial Group

"When Shayne wrote Buy Gold Now, we all needed to listen: gold has since been the smart investor's way to increase wealth through the past few years. Now, in Hard Money, he explains why gold should be a significant part of every prudent investor's portfolio. You do not have to think the end is nigh to believe that gold is sensible insurance as the world navigates unprecedented economic and financial risks."
—Gerard Minack, Chief Global Strategist, Morgan Stanley

"Hard Money is an accomplished and dispassionate analysis of gold and its role in a diversified investment portfolio, presented in clear terms by an experienced investor. McGuire explains why the era of borrow and spend is likely over, what this means for investors, and how to construct a gold portfolio."
—Caesar Bryan, Portfolio Manager, Gabelli Gold Fund

"Hard Money is a very good practical guide about gold investments."
—Marc Faber, Managing Director, Marc Faber Ltd. and author of Tomorrow's Gold

"With Hard Money, Shayne McGuire has produced another enjoyable and insightful book about the causes behind gold's recent sharp rally and why the price could even go 'hyperbolic.' It is an excellent guide for the investor and particularly appropriate as it even contains advice on how to incorporate precious metals into a balanced portfolio."
—Jon Spall, Director of Commodities Division, Barclays Capital

"Mr. McGuire has written an important book that will be of value to any investor considering gold, other precious metals, and mining shares. Not only is it full of insight and useful information, it provides a commonsense rationale as to why precious metal prices are headed higher. Far from being another gloom-and-doom end-of-the-world rant, the book provides sensible and practical advice for beginners as well as investment professionals."
—John Hathaway, Portfolio Manager, Tocqueville Gold Fund
