A Beginner's Guide to Gold Investment

Article Category: Finances

Author Name: Jack Viljoen

Profitable investments help in securing your financial independence. When looking where to invest your hard earned money, be wise. One good and more stable investment is buying precious metals. Gold and silver are good investments because of several reasons:

Their value is intrinsic and does not closely rely on economies and governments

Their value transcends time, governments and cultures (is valuable regardless of where it is in the world)
Easy to acquire, store, give as inheritance and sell
Prices go high when economies fail

Is always in demand (hence, will always have a market where it can be sold anytime)

Best hedge against inflation (value does not go down with inflation)

Investing in gold and silver is more secure than other forms of investment. But it is not without risk. Experts suggest investing in physical gold rather than in paper gold. Physical gold is in the form of bullions or coins. The most popular and widely used form of gold investment is in bullion bars. Governments, huge business and a few individuals choose to invest their money in gold bars. A single standard gold bar is at 400 troys which often costs around $100,000, sometime even more. On the other hand, private individuals would probably be better off buying gold bullion in the form of gold coins. These are smaller than the bullion bars and are much easier to carry around, store in their private vaults (or in bank vaults and safety deposit boxes) and to sell.

The downside to owning physical gold is that it does not earn any dividends or interests. What it mainly does is to secure a ready and definite source of wealth in case the economy crashes, currencies and other assets depreciate, and government falls. When these situations occur, physical gold becomes more valuable and can be used as purchasing power anywhere. Gold remains of value compared to stock, real estate and paper currencies whose values decline to almost nothing when the abovementioned situations occur. Investing in gold is more like setting aside a ready source of wealth in times of crisis. If the goal is let gold earn returns while in possession, try gold paper assets. This is much like investing in regular stock market, only in terms of gold. One can also invest gold mining stocks, where profits are huge. However, there are also risks. Mines do not have the assurance of long term gold and precious metal yield. They can run out of these yields at any time and can also close at any moment. Disasters such as mine collapse can permanently cause shutdown, which can have serious repercussions on the investment. But with properly chosen mining stocks who have long standing reputation for stability of yield, mining stocks are way better than other types of stocks.

When planning to invest, with gold, real estate or any other venture, weigh the pros and cons of each option before deciding. Of all, physical gold is still the most secure, especially in times of political unrest and economic instability.
