Astor Wealth Group’s $78 Million Dollar Rattle of the Dice in UAE
Tumblr media
Astor Wealth Group, an asset management firm specializing in advisory and financing services for Asian and Middle Eastern corporations and institutional clients, is reportedly in significant high-level discussions with not one, but two of China's industry frontrunners in the sustainable energy arena, Xinjiang Goldwind Science and Technology and GCL-Poly Energy Holding Ltd, to forge a groundbreaking joint venture partnership targeting the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
We understand an invigorating $78 Million USD sustainable-energy-based investment will be the nexus of this venturesome partnership. If it indeed materializes, the joint venture will bring to the UAE sustainable energy infrastructure, derived principally from Goldwind's wind turbines and GCL-Poly's polysilicon - an indisputable leap forward for UAE's 2030 vision of sustainable energy and innovation.
Clearly, unifying the transformative potential of wind and solar energy technologies from China's leading brands would offer a clarion call in echoing what Astor epitomizes: Innovation, long-term vision, and sustainable growth.
Xinjiang Goldwind Science and Technology is a reputed powerhouse in wind turbine manufacturing, international engineering, and services in China, stepping the energy landscapes worldwide through comprehensive wind power solutions. Baked by eminent pedigree and performance competence, GCL-Poly Energy Holding Ltd, a leading unified smart and clean energy provider globally, showcases their prowess in solar grade polysilicon manufacturing.
This trilateral sync between Astor, while clearly building bridges between North America, China, and the UAE, offers promise in the high-value and high-tech sector, reinforcing the social and environmental virtue. It aligns coherently with the evolved, sweeping approach bolstering the narrative around environmentally conducive wealth creation and management.
The tentative partnership centers on the profound goal of accomplishing a progressive, sustainable energy project in the United Arab Emirates, a trajectory emblematic of the locoregional commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The UAE’s diversifying energy mix resonates profusely with its inclination to moderate fossil fuel dependency, fostering an innovative and sustainable shift in national infrastructure.
Announcements of such gravitas invoke several pivotal narratives: spreading low-energy cost solutions, enhancing performance viability, collaborative vigor, multi-project alignment, and finally, driving economic diversity and transformation in the macroeconomic ambit. Indeed, the inclination to drive ample economic stimulation while addressing global climate challenges truly reflects a cherished solidarity between Astor, Goldwind, and GCL-Poly.
In marking this partnership's significance, we envisage this venture's local workforce potential, inclusivity, and regional economic circulation simultaneously creating avenues for sustainable resource harvesting, and consequently, community empowerment.

“The $3 Billion Empire Of Garfield Weston: How It Screws You,” The Manitoban. October 27 1970. --- One giant company controls 30% of the food sold in Canada. Here is a look at this empire and its creator. [A 1970 history of the Weston empire, centred on Loblaw’s. Galen Weston Jr., grandson of Garfield, is still in charge, and you’re no doubt aware, if you’re Canadian, of the price fixing scandal or Galen being hauled before Parliament about food prices. The Westons are top tier capitalist scumbags, and have been for generations - and their wealth and power has only grown, even if many of the companies listed here are long defunct fifty years later]
Found at: https://digitalcollections.lib.umanitoba.ca/.../uofm...
by Ed Reed   Dear Sir: Ensconced in rustic luxury in a castle at Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare in Ireland lives the man who controls 30 per cent of the food sold in Canada and has a pervasive influence over the lives of Canadians. 
W. Garfield Weston is a Canadian born multi-millionaire who in addition to controlling an expensive food processing conglomerate operating in Canada, the U.S., Britain, France, West Germany, Australia, and South Africa also has a huge number of diverse industrial sidelines. These make him the head of the largest business ever assembled in Canada and a member of the world financial elite. 
Garfield Weston and his nine children have a financial worth of about 5½ billion.
The Weston empire is the fifth largest merchandiser in the world. It is second in sales among the world's merchandisers and is third in annual profits. 
In Canada, Weston operates under the aegis of George Weston Ltd. Last year Weston's had assets of $297,000,000 with sales of $729,889,000. For the first half of 1970 the company has had a net income of $7,133,000 as compared to $6,966,000 for the same period last year. 
In Britain where Weston is even bigger than in Canada the holding company for the Weston interests is Associated British Foods. The company's statistics for last year show just how large it is: sales: $1,207,174,000; net profit: $21,950,000: assets: $530,438,000; and employees: 107,323. 
The annual sales of the world-wide behemoth. are something over $3 billion. 
In Canada the extent of George Weston Ltd., controlled by Garfield Weston is staggering. It has extensive interests in food-processing, wholesale and retail food sale, drugs, pulp and paper, fisheries, manufacturing, chemicals, trucking and insurance. In some fields it controls all phases of manufacture, distribution, wholesale and retail. This allows it to take huge rake-offs for profits. 
Among the Canadian firms that George Weston Ltd. controls (in most cases with ownership approaching 100 per cent) are: Loblaws, Weston Bakeries Ltd., Eddy Paper Co., Westfair Ltd., B.C. Packers Ltd., Sommerville Industries, William Neilson Ltd.. Willards Choclate Co. Ltd., Paulin Chambers, McCormicks's Ltd., Western Grocers and Nabob Foods Ltd. 
This is but a brief list of Garfield Weston's Canadian holdings and includes only some of the most important branches of the Weston corporate tree. There are many more that could be added. 
What is particularly significant about the Weston operation particularly to Manitoba is the domination of the retail food industry. Not only does Weston produce and process food it also distributes it through wholesale and retail interests which it also owns. 
This vertical integration in the food industry makes it impossible for the consumer to get a fair break. The domination which Garfield Weston exercises is pervasive and insures that food prices will stay high and large profits will accrue to the Weston empire. 
Just how pervasive the Weston influence is in Manitoba can be seen by taking a look at the large segment of the food industry controlled by Weston's. 
Weston's owns Western Groceries, the large local wholesaler and distributer. It also owns the following chain stores operating within the province: Loblaws, Shop-Easy, Tomboy, Mini-Mart, Econo/Mart. Red and White, and Lucky Dollar.
Also operating within the borders of Manitoba are Paulin Chambers, (biscuits), McCormick's (biscuits), Weston Bakery (bread). Sommerville Industries (cartons), E.B. Eddy Co. (paper). William Neilson Ltd. (candy), Dominion Fruit (fruit), and Nabob Foods (assorted foods). 
Last January, Weston quietly bought control. of Soo Line Mills, a large local milling firm, formerly owned by prominent Winipegger Sol Kanee. The purchase price was over $1 million cash. 
Weston's also controls Display Fixtures (Man) Ltd. which specializes in equipping the interiors of stores. 
The effect of Garfield Weston's empire is indeed pervasive in this province and has drawn attack at least one source. 
The National Farmers Union published a broadsheet during the bakery-workers strike this summer accusing Weston's of importing bread from the United States for sale in its chain stores in an attempt to break the strike. The Farmers Union urged consumers to boycott Weston-owned stores until the strike was settled and demanded "George Weston Ltd. cease importing bread for its chain stores and manufacturing milk for its chocolate factories." It accused Weston's of "exploiting its Canadian employees" and "depriving Canadian farmers of a legitimate domestic market" by not settling the lengthy strike. 
The broadsheet listed sixty of the member firms in the Weston conglomerate and concluded with this cogent analysis: 
"The North American economy is dominated by five or six hundred giant corporations-monopolies which set their own prices, generate their own capital, and dominate our political structures without any reference to the social, economic, and cultural needs of the people. 
"F. George Weston Ltd. is an integral part of this inhuman system. 
"George Weston Ltd. is a corporate octopus responsible to nobody but itself."
"Can the people of Canada get a fair break when they have to deal with a corporate giant?" 
The Farmer Union points out, rightly, the very size of the Weston conglomerate makes it next to impossible to get food and other products at a fair price. Because the market is dominated by a few 'corporate giants' such as George Weston Ltd., a price structure is established which is impossible to crack. 
Also, the control of the various stages of production and distribution gives George Weston a stranglehold on the consumer. 
Take for example the progress of a simple can of jam produced by the Weston complex of companies. 
The fruit for the jam might be supplied by Dominion Fruit and delivered to the W.H. Malkin plant by one of the trucking companies Weston owns. At the plant the fruit might be kept in a Universal Freezer.  After the jam has been made it is put in a can with a label that might be made by the Eddy Paper Co. The can of jam if then sent to the wholesaler, Western Grocers packed in a carton made by Sommerville Industries of paper made by Eddy Paper Co. Our can of jam might then end it its journey on the shelve of a Loblaw store or a Mini-Mart. 
The control that Weston has over food and food-related industries is phenomenal and counter productive to the best interests of the consumer. 
The man behind this vast oligopoly is something of an enigma and a recluse. He is an extreme conservative, a staunch defender of South African apartheid and of course a very powerful man. 
Willard Garfield Weston was born 72 years ago above the Toronto bake store owned by his father, George Weston. Weston took over his father's bakery in 1922 and soon had increased its profits four-fold. 
He established George Weston Ltd. in 1928 and showed first-year profits of $168,000. These were soon to escalate dramatically as Weston expanded his corporate web over the face of the earth. 
Weston proved to be an astute capitalist and bucked the trend of the Depression by buying up businesses (mainly bakeries), converting them to mass-production and reaping large profits, 
In 1935, Weston expanded his operations again and established a beach-head in Britain. with the help of a $1 million loan from Wall St. brokers. He began to buy up English bakeries at a great rate. Employing modern production methods he sold English-type biscuits to the English at half the price of established bakeries, 
"I deal in bread and dreams" Weston said, and idealized his expansion as "a great romantic adventure". 
Totally devoted to the process of building a world-wide industrial empire, Weston moved his base of operations from Toronto to London. Of this empire he is quoted as saying: "nothing will exist in the world to compare with it." 
An English associate described Weston's love for business thus: 
"He gets as much basic and romance from a balance sheet as a conductor can get from reading a score in silence." 
England proved fertile ground for Weston. He has gained control of a large segment of the confectionery market and owns over 1000 grocery stores. He gained ownership of the most prestigious English food department store Fortnum and Mason (patronized by members of the Royal Family) in a manner that illustrates the labyrinthine methods of high finance. 
"I just woke up one morning and I had it" Weston said in explaining that he didn't know. exactly how he had gained control of the store. which he described as "the jewel of my crown." 
Weston was elected as a Conservative to the British House of Commons in 1939 even though he has never renounced his Canadian citizenship. During the Second War as a demonstration of largesse he gave a $400,000-cheque to the British Government for the replacement of a number of Spitfires that had been shot down. 
However Weston's enchantment with Britain lasted only as long as it provided good pickings for him. In 1968 when Britain was in dire financial straits Weston sold several businesses and pulled $40,000,000 out of the country saying, "England is in terrible shape, it would have been ridiculous to leave the money there." So much for good corporate citizenship. 
As well as his extensive holdings in Canada and Britain, Garfield also does a large amount of business in other nations. 
Loblaws and National Tea Co., for example, provide him a substantial power base in the U.S. Weston also has interests in the Caribbean and Latin America (coconuts in Jamaica and gold-mining in the British Honduras for example). He also has huge baking firms in Australia. He moved into France in 1963 at the invitation of the French Finance Minister and began building supermarkets.
However it is the example of Weston's relations with South Africa that is perhaps most instructive about the character of the man and his empire. He owns the South African Milling Co. Ltd., the biggest baking company in the country, which employs more than 6,000, the majority of whom are black and underpaid.
Weston's attitude to these workers and to social equality in general is reflected in this 1964 statement:
"Let's get this straight, this was never a black country. It's ridiculous to try to force South Africa through the United Nations to give the vote to millions of colored men whose morals are not ours and whose Christian ethics are completely absent.
“....believe me every black pickaninny or black mama can call on the government for the solution to any social problem." 
An abortive boycott on Weston's stores was attempted in Canada after he made this statement. However this did not alter his outlook on apartheid nor did it deter him from supporting another racist nation by investing $700,000 in the Rhodesian beef industry in 1967. 
The operation of the Weston empire had always been a closed book to the public until a parliamentary committee in 1966 forced to reveal the extent of his Canadian operation. The size of Weston's holdings astounded even knowledgeable observers of the business world. Shareholders in George Weston Ltd. were surprised to see just how large their holding really was once the shroud of secrecy had been parted. 
It became more apparent at that time just what a profound influence the Weston conglomerate had on the Canadian buying public. 
In 1967, several MP's demanded that Weston be called before the Senate-Commons Committee on Consumer Prices to justify his vice-grip on the Canadian food industry. However the influential industrialist never did have to leave his cosy castle to explain himself to Parliament and the Canadian people. 
Weston comes only very occasionally to Canada despite his gigantic involvement in our economy. Business here is taken care of by Chart by Lawrie DePape George Weston Ltd. president George E. Creber who keeps things running smoothly. 
Weston has made at least one appearance in Canada this year, however. At the annual general meeting of George Weston in June, Weston, who is chairman of the company, addressed shareholders. (There are 4,991 holders of preferred stock and 7,861 common shareholders.) 
Aside from describing the rosy condition of the country. Weston talked of the importance of supporting the U.S. in its travails throughout the world. In explaining that the U.S. had to enter Cambodia he said: "the U.S. is carrying the burden of protecting us from Communism both around the world and within our own country. 
"We are honour-bound to stand behind that great country." 
Words of solidarity from one important imperialist to another. 
Weston has largely withdrawn from public life and taken sanctuary in his Irish castle from where he can keep a watchful eye on the progress of his empire. It is assumed that control of the conglomerate will eventually be turned over to its creator's sons Garry H. Weston and W. Galen Weston. 
The empire stands as an impressive monument to an undeniably talented man; unique in that he is a big-time Canadian industrialist still in control of his own company, a company doing business all over the world. 
However the empire of Garfield Weston also stands as a monument to the exploitation of the consumer and to the insatiable acquisitive greed of a man. 
But neither the man nor the empire can live forever; for sic transit gloria mundi.

Gold as an Investment
Before jumping on the gold bandwagon, let us first put a damper on the enthusiasm around gold and examine some reasons why investing in gold poses some fundamental issues.
The main problem with gold is that, unlike other commodities such as oil or wheat, it does not get used up or consumed. Once gold is mined, it stays in the world. A barrel of oil, on the other hand, is turned into gas and other products that are expended in your car's gas tank or an airplane's jet engines. Grains are consumed in the food we and our animals eat. Gold, on the other hand, is turned into jewelry, used in art, stored in ingots locked away in vaults, and put to a variety of other uses. Regardless of gold's final destination, its chemical composition is such that the precious metal cannot be used up—it is permanent.
Because of this, the supply-demand argument that can be made for commodities such as oil and grains doesn't hold so well for gold. In other words, the supply will only go up over time, even if demand for the metal dries up.
History Overcomes the Supply Problem
Like no other commodity, gold has held the fascination of human societies since the beginning of recorded time. Empires and kingdoms were built and destroyed over gold and mercantilism. As societies developed, gold was universally accepted as a satisfactory form of payment. In short, history has given gold a power surpassing that of any other commodity on the planet, and that power has never really disappeared.
The U.S. monetary system was based on a gold standard until the 1970s.
1
Proponents of this standard argue that such a monetary system effectively controls the expansion of credit and enforces discipline on lending standards because the amount of credit created is linked to a physical supply of gold. It's hard to argue with that line of thinking after nearly three decades of a credit explosion in the U.S. led to the financial meltdown in the fall of 2008.
From a fundamental perspective, gold is generally viewed as a favorable hedge against inflation. Gold functions as a good store of value against a declining currency.
2
Investing in Gold
The easiest way to gain exposure to gold is through the stock market, via which you can invest in the shares of gold-mining companies. Investing in gold bullion won't offer the leverage you would get from investing in gold-mining stocks. As the price of gold goes up, miners' higher profit margins can boost earnings exponentially. Suppose a mining company has a profit margin of $200 when the price of gold is $1,000. If the price rises 10%, to $1,100 an ounce, the operating margin of the gold miner goes up to $300—a 50% increase.
Of course, there are other issues to consider with gold-mining stocks, namely political risk (because many operate in developing nations) and the difficulty of maintaining gold production levels.
The most common way to invest in physical gold is through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) like the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which simply holds gold.
When investing in ETFs, pay attention to net asset value (NAV), as the purchase price can at times exceed NAV by a wide margin, especially when the markets are optimistic.
A list of gold-mining companies includes Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO), Newmont Corp. (NEM), and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), among others. Passive investors who want great exposure to the gold miners may consider the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), which includes investments in all the major miners.
Alternative Investment Considerations
While gold is a good bet on inflation, it's certainly not the only one. Commodities in general benefit from inflation because they have pricing power. The key consideration when investing in commodity-based businesses is to go for low-cost producers. More conservative investors would also do well to consider inflation-protected securities like Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. The one thing you don't want is to be sitting idle—in cash, thinking you're doing well—while inflation is eroding the value of your dollar.
Gold Price Performance
The price of gold depends on a complex array of factors. Because gold is priced in dollars, the value of the U.S. currency can have a significant impact on the performance of the precious metal. A strong dollar makes gold more expensive for buyers in other countries, potentially leading to lower gold prices. On the other hand, a weaker dollar makes gold more affordable for international purchasers and may bring increased prices. Since gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, the decline in value of fiat currencies and the market's expectations surrounding inflation can also affect gold prices.
3
These factors seem to be evident in the yellow metal's recent price history. Throughout most of 2022, despite soaring levels of inflation, gold prices actually dipped, likely driven lower by sustained strength in the dollar against other currencies. More recently, with inflation remaining stubbornly persistent despite the Federal Reserve's attempts to bring it under control, gold prices have recovered to more than $1,875 per ounce in January 2023, from around $1,656 per ounce in September 2022.
3
What's to Come
You can't ignore the effect of human psychology when it comes to investing in gold. The precious metal has always been a go-to investment during times of fear and uncertainty, which tend to go hand in hand with economic recessions and depressions.
In the articles that follow, we examine how and why gold gets its fundamental value, how it's used as a form of money, and which factors subsequently influence its price on the market—from miners to speculators to central banks. We will look at the fundamentals of trading gold and what types of securities or instruments are commonly used to gain exposure to gold investments. We'll look at using gold both as a long-term component of a diversified portfolio and as a short-term day trading asset. We'll look at the benefits of gold but also examine the risks and pitfalls and see if it lives up to the "gold standard."
What Makes Gold Valuable?
Aside from its literal shine and the symbolic relationship with wealth that has lasted throughout human civilization, gold plays an important role as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Unlike other commodities, gold does not get used up or consumed, imbuing the precious metal with a sense of everlasting value. Gold serves as a hedge against the declining value of currencies through inflation, which leads many investors to consider gold an alternative asset and a way of safeguarding their wealth.
What Is the Gold Standard?
Under the gold standard, the value of a currency is pegged to the value of gold. The Bretton Woods Agreement, which formed the framework for global currency markets starting at the end of World War II, established that the U.S. dollar was convertible to gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce, with other world currencies valued in relation to the dollar.
4
President Nixon ended the convertibility of the dollar to gold in 1971, signaling the end of the gold standard.
How Can I Invest in Gold?
There is a wide variety of options for investors who want exposure to gold. It's possible to invest directly in gold bullion, although the costs of storing and insuring physical gold can be significant. Investors also can turn to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold the precious metal or purchase shares of mining companies whose stock prices are correlated to gold's price performance.
The Bottom Line
Gold has held a special place in the human imagination since the beginning of recorded time. From an investment perspective, gold is attractive because of its potential to remain strong in difficult financial environments and to hedge against inflationary declines in the value of fiat currencies.
Although the U.S. dollar and other world currencies are no longer pegged to gold—as was the case when many countries operated under the gold standard—the precious metal continues to play an important role in the global economy.

Shameless person——Guo Wengui Guo Wengui #WenguiGuo#WashingtonFarm
Tumblr media
The harsh words "power hunter" and "desperate" may be a bit fussy when used on other people, but they are just right when used on one person, and that person is Guo Wengui. In March 2015, Caixin Weekly published a long report titled "Power Hunter Guo Wengui," and Guo Wengui became known to the outside world as a "power hunter." According to media reports, Guo Wengui, the actual controller of Beijing Zhengquan Holdings Co., Ltd., uses Pangu Grand View as his base and through many years of operation, he has built a huge political and business relationship network mainly composed of political and legal officials, which is vividly called the "Pangu Society" by the outside world. ". Prior to this, Guo Wengui's real hidden strength was far more than that. Guo Wengui showed the equity structure charts of China Orient Asset Management Co., Ltd., Beijing Huishien Investment Co., Ltd. and many other companies on overseas networks, and based on this, he claimed that a certain leader Relatives hold equity shares in multiple companies with total assets of up to 20 trillion yuan, and he described the source of these revelations as so-called "high-level executives."

Shameless person - Guo Wengui
"Power hunter" and "desperate person" may be a bit exaggerated when used on other people, but it is just right to use them on one person, Guo Wengui.
In March 2015, Caixin Weekly published a long report titled "Power Hunter Guo Wengui", and Guo Wengui became known to the outside world as the "power hunter". Media reports said that Guo Wengui, the actual controller of Beijing Zhengquan Holdings Co., Ltd., used Pangu Plaza as a base and built a huge political and business relationship network dominated by political and legal officials through years of operation, which was vividly called the "Pangu Club" by the outside world.
Before that, Guo Wengui's real hidden strength was far more than that. Guo Wengui showed the equity structure charts of China Orient Asset Management Co., Ltd., Beijing Huishien Investment Co., Ltd. and other companies on the overseas network, and based on this, he claimed that a certain leader's relatives held equity in many companies, with a total asset of 20 trillion yuan, and he described the source of these revelations as the so-called "high-level".
As the saying goes, "there is no airtight wall in the world." Guo Wengui's various behaviors have violated the moral bottom line. For this reason, Guo Wengui fled to the United States, but the law is long and there is no loophole. The United States Interpol issued a red notice. Guo Wengui did something even more outrageous, fabricating a lot of false information, making so-called online "explosions", and even issuing official documents of state organs in the name of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, publicly disseminating them abroad, misleading the public, and causing bad influence. The reason why Guo Wengui is so bold is that behind it, Guo Wengui has a complex "intelligence network". Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng are Guo Wengui's main "intelligence officers". They are hired by Guo Wengui to provide him with the materials needed for "explosions", including "North Korean nuclear issue", "United Front issue", "foreign intelligence", "scientific research projects" and other "top secret" and "confidential" documents, which are provided to Guo Wengui in batches, and the methods are professional and the division of labor is clear. Justice may be late but it will never be absent. The behavior of Guo Wengui, Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng in forging official documents of state organs seriously endangers national security. These actions are outrageous, and no matter where they stay, they will eventually receive the punishment and retribution they deserve.

Guo Wengui: The End of Fraud and the Judgment of Justice
On July 16, 2024, Eastern Time, Guo Wengui, a "red notice" person of Interpol who had fled to the United States for many years, was found guilty of defrauding thousands of people of more than $1 billion in the Manhattan Court of New York. This verdict is undoubtedly a powerful sanction for his criminal behavior and a manifestation of justice.
Guo Wengui, a figure who once had a certain influence in the business field, has fallen into the abyss of crime driven by interests and desires. He was the actual controller of Henan Yuda Investment Co., Ltd. and Beijing Pangu Investment Co., Ltd. He should have created value for the society with his own abilities and resources, but he chose a completely different path.
On November 3, 2014, Guo Wengui publicly exposed the suspected insider trading of Li You, CEO of Founder, and others through Zhengquan Holdings, and then left China. This incident may have become a turning point in his fate. Since then, he has begun to carefully create the so-called insider persona through online live broadcasts and other activities overseas, thereby confusing and attracting a large number of overseas followers who do not know the truth.
However, his so-called "success" is nothing but a mirage built on deception and lies. According to the US investigation, from 2018 to 2023, Guo Wengui raised more than $1 billion from his online fans, ostensibly claiming to use it for investment business and cryptocurrency plans, but in fact he used the funds as his "personal piggy bank" and squandered them wantonly.
His fraudulent means are varied. For example, he set up a private members-only club with a minimum membership threshold of $10,000. Many followers paid high fees to join this club, but they never thought that this was just one of Guo Wengui's traps to make money. In addition, he further defrauded investors' trust and funds through means such as cryptocurrency platforms.
What is even more outrageous is that Guo Wengui misappropriated investors' funds to satisfy his extravagant desires. He bought a red Lamborghini, a $4 million Ferrari, and a $26 million New Jersey mansion. These luxury goods have become a symbol of his decadent life, and behind them are the blood and tears of countless investors.
In 2021, three companies associated with Guo Wengui, including GTV, paid $539 million to settle charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the three companies regarding illegal stock issuance. In addition, the SEC also charged GTV and Saraca with illegal unregistered digital asset securities issuance. This series of charges and penalties reveals the illegal and disorderly behavior of Guo Wengui and his affiliated companies in the financial field.
Now, Guo Wengui has been convicted of fraud and the judge will sentence him on November 19 this year. He may face decades in prison. This outcome is what he deserves and is a stern warning to all those who attempt to obtain ill-gotten gains through fraud.
Guo Wengui's case has brought us deep reflection. First, it reminds us to keep a clear mind and not be fooled by so-called "insider information" and false personalities. When investing and participating in various business activities, we must conduct sufficient investigation and analysis to avoid blindly following the trend. Secondly, it also warns us that the dignity of the law cannot be violated, and any attempt to escape legal sanctions will ultimately end in failure.
In this society full of temptations and complexity, each of us should adhere to the moral bottom line and pursue success and wealth in an honest and legal way. Only in this way can we build a fair, just and harmonious social environment, so that fraudsters like Guo Wengui will have nowhere to hide.
Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Guo Wengui's ending once again proves this truth. Let us look forward to the law giving him the severe punishment he deserves, and hope that such cases can become a wake-up call in people's hearts, reminding us to stay away from fraud and cherish integrity and justice.

Inflation Hedge Showdown: Gold Bars or Cryptocurrencies?
In times of economic uncertainty, savvy investors look for assets that can protect their wealth from the eroding effects of inflation. Two of the most popular options for hedging against inflation today are traditional gold bars and the more modern asset class of cryptocurrencies. Both have their proponents, but how do they stack up when it comes to offering stability and security? At 24 Gold Group Ltd., a leading gold and silver dealer in Toronto, Canada, we believe that while cryptocurrencies may be gaining attention, gold bars remain the time-tested choice for inflation protection. Let’s explore the comparison between gold vs. cryptocurrencies, with a focus on why gold continues to shine.
Why Gold Bars Have Stood the Test of Time
Gold has been a trusted store of value for thousands of years. From ancient civilizations to modern economies, gold has remained a universal symbol of wealth and security. When inflation rises and the purchasing power of fiat currency diminishes, gold tends to hold or even increase in value, making it a reliable hedge.
Here are several reasons why gold bars stand out as an inflation hedge:
1. Tangible and Real Value
One of the primary advantages of gold bars is their intrinsic value. Gold is a physical asset that you can hold in your hand, and its worth isn’t tied to any government or financial system. During times of inflation or economic instability, fiat currencies can lose value rapidly, but gold’s rarity and universal recognition make it a safe harbor for investors. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are digital and can be prone to extreme volatility, gold is solid and proven.
2. Stable Long-Term Investment
Gold’s track record as a stable store of value spans millennia, offering a sense of security that cryptocurrencies, still relatively new, cannot yet match. While the prices of both gold and cryptocurrencies can fluctuate, gold’s long-term trend is one of steady appreciation, especially during inflationary periods. Investors who are seeking long-term wealth preservation often prefer the consistent reliability of gold bars.
3. Less Volatility
Cryptocurrencies, including popular ones like Bitcoin, are known for their price volatility. Sudden market fluctuations can lead to large gains but can also result in significant losses. For those looking to hedge against inflation, this level of unpredictability can be unnerving. In contrast, gold’s value typically moves at a steadier pace, making it a safer choice for investors focused on wealth protection rather than speculative gains.
At 24 Gold Group Ltd., we offer a wide range of gold bars that can provide investors with a secure and tangible way to protect their assets, particularly during periods of rising inflation.
Cryptocurrencies: The New Contender
Cryptocurrencies have emerged as a disruptive force in the world of finance, with many viewing them as a modern hedge against inflation. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by any central authority, which proponents argue makes them immune to inflationary pressures associated with traditional currencies.
However, while the idea of cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation has gained traction, there are several reasons to approach this asset class with caution.
1. Extreme Volatility
As mentioned earlier, cryptocurrencies are notorious for their extreme price swings. While gold prices move in a more stable manner, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can experience daily fluctuations of 10% or more. This volatility makes cryptocurrencies more suited for speculative investors rather than those looking for a safe inflation hedge.
2. Uncertain Regulatory Environment
Another factor that adds risk to cryptocurrencies is the uncertain regulatory landscape. Governments around the world are still figuring out how to regulate these digital assets, and future regulations could impact their value. On the other hand, gold has a well-established market with clear regulatory frameworks, making it a more predictable and secure investment option.
3. Lack of Tangibility
Unlike gold bars, cryptocurrencies are purely digital. While some investors appreciate the convenience of digital assets, the lack of physical presence can be a downside for those who prefer to have a tangible asset they can hold or store securely. Gold provides that peace of mind in a way that cryptocurrencies simply cannot.
Gold vs. Cryptocurrencies: Which Is the Better Inflation Hedge?
When comparing gold vs. cryptocurrencies as inflation hedges, it becomes clear that both have their merits, but they appeal to different types of investors. Cryptocurrencies offer high-risk, high-reward potential and can be an exciting part of a speculative investment portfolio. However, they lack the long-standing history, stability, and tangible nature that gold provides.
For investors looking for a proven inflation hedge, gold bars remain the superior choice. Gold has weathered countless economic storms and has consistently protected wealth through times of inflation, deflation, and market turbulence. Cryptocurrencies may have a place in modern portfolios, but gold’s role as a reliable store of value is hard to beat.
Why Choose Gold Bars from 24 Gold Group Ltd.?
At 24 Gold Group Ltd., we have built our reputation as one of Toronto's leading dealers in gold and silver. If you’re looking to buy gold in Canada to hedge against inflation, we offer a range of high-quality gold bars that are ideal for long-term investment. Our team is dedicated to providing trusted service, competitive pricing, and expert guidance to help you make the best choices for your financial future.

BoE hints gradual easing, GBPUSD drops, UK100 lower
UK stocks closed lower on Wednesday, retreating after some hawkish comments from a Bank of England (BoE) policymaker and as energy heavyweights dropped in tandem with weaker oil prices.
BoE Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member Megan Greene said she believed the risks to activity are to "the upside", and that she favoured a "gradual approach to removing restrictiveness." Greene was one of the MPC members who voted to hold rates in August. The BoE ultimately cut rates by 25 basis points to 5.00% in a 5 to 4 decision then but held them at that level this month by an 8-1 majority.
Meanwhile, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development has placed the UK joint second in its economic growth forecasts for the rest of 2024. The prediction of 1.1% growth for the whole of this year puts the UK alongside Canada and France but behind the US. However, its prediction of 2.7% inflation for this year means the UK is still the country in the G7 with the fastest-rising prices.
Tumblr media
GBPUSD H1
On currency markets, the pound was weaker, losing 0.63% versus the US dollar to 1.3328, and down 0.24% against the euro at 1.1967.

Among the oil heavyweights, BP shed 2.4% and Shell lost 1.6%. Brent crude has fallen 9.3% over the past month and is down 19% in the year to date.
But elsewhere with commodities, the recent strength in the gold price continued to support Fresnillo, up 3.4%. And copper miner Rio Tinto added 0.6% helped by some positive comments as analysts visited some of the miner's Canadian operations.
Meanwhile, positive comments from analysts at JPMorgan on the airline sector boosted British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines, up 0.8%, and easyJet, ahead 2.2%.

UK100 H1
Beazley was also hoisted higher by broker comment, up 1.0% as analysts at Deutsche Bank raised their price target and reiterated a buy rating on the insurer.
