INVESTING IN GOLD
When looking to add to a portfolio consider investing in gold. There are four main reasons for investing in gold. It has a long-term store of value, is an asset of last resort, is highly liquid and is a good way to diversity your assets. Gold is a reliable store of value because it fulfils all of the functions of money. It is portable, divisible, indestructible, natural, easily recognizable and always accepted as a form of payment. No matter the financial climate, gold endures. While most currencies and commodities generally decline, gold withstands inflation and market fluctuations. It is a secure aspect of any investment portfolio.
Throughout history, while paper money has come and gone, such as Confederate money, gold has remained stable. By investing in gold one doesn't have to rely on the government or corporations for dividends. Most economic policies do not affect gold and whereas bank accounts can be frozen, gold is freely available. Gold is reliable for any planned long-term investments. It can be easily sold twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week in any number of markets around the world. When investing in gold to diversify, one can be either conservative or aggressive and still add value to the portfolio. The price of gold is not affected by a companies profit unlike stocks and bonds. Its price depends on supply and demand, the rate of the US dollar, inflation and interest rates. But instead of being negative, the price of gold moves in the opposite direction of stocks and bonds. When the market bottoms out, gold generally increases in value, thereby stabilizing the investment portfolio.
Gold can be bought and sold anywhere in the world at anytime. Anytime is a good time to invest in gold. There are different forms that gold can take for investment purposes. The first is gold bullion. This generally comes in the shape of bars in a variety of weights and sizes. They can be as small as one troy ounce (1.09714 regular ounces) or as large as 400 troy ounces. The broker commission on gold bars is minimal and gold bars are often the most cost-efficient means. Bars marked with the "logo" of the refiner are the easiest to sell. The bars are generally 99.5% or higher pure gold, stamped .995 as well as stamped with the bars weight. Bars can be purchased from a number of places such as commercial banks, precious metal dealers and brokerage houses.
