How Physical Gold Could Outperform Gold Stocks
Luke Burgess

The price of gold is set to absolutely explode, and the best position for investors might simply be physical gold bullion.

There are several reasons for this, but among the most important...

The return on physical gold bullion could actually exceed gold stocks.

In fact, the premium on spot physical bullion could be DOUBLE gold futures prices.

Let me explain...

But first, let me ask you a question: Is there any doubt another major military conflict is unfolding in the Middle East?

It's clear Saudi Arabia breaking ties with Qatar this week was the opening move in the chess game of war. But this could also be the catalyst that drives the entire region into anarchy.

The entire Middle East is extremely fragile right now with everything going on Syria. A military conflict between Saudi Arabia and Qatar is also likely going to include Iran. Now pepper in continuing unrest in other countries like Israel and Afghanistan, and we have a recipe for an all-out Arab World War.

And that's a very scary thought considering the chemical and nuclear capabilities of some nations.

I told subscribers of my Secret Stock Files newsletter this week that I hope I'm wrong about all this. But I won't ignore the writing on the wall...

A major military conflict is unfolding in the entire Middle East. And the price of gold is particularly positioned to skyrocket as a result.

You see, up until recently, there was debate over whether or not a Muslim could, in good faith, own gold bullion as an investment. That debate was cleared up just a few months ago, and the consensus from Islamic religious authorities now allows gold bullion investment.

The ruling opened gold investment up to 1.6 billion Muslims around the world. But to date, there have been no real catalysts to spur Muslims to invest in gold — not even Syria.

However, an all-out war in the region, unfortunate as it may be, would be the mother of all catalysts to drive physical gold prices higher. But note the words "physical gold."

Investment-grade physical gold bullion is rarer than most people think. Most of the world's gold ends up in jewelry. Around 60% of all the gold mined every year goes directly to the jewelry industry. But jewelry is a very poor investment vehicle for gold exposure. Investment-grade gold must have standard weights and purity, and it can come in the form of coins and bars. But here's the issue...

Only about 0.25 oz. of investment-grade gold currently exists per person! That's this much...

So it won't take a very large percentage of these new buyers to move the price of gold much higher. And as I mentioned, the premium on spot physical bullion could be DOUBLE gold futures prices.
