The Global Gold Strategy Facts

By Enid Hinton


The price of gold is rising for a decade now. It is four hundred percent higher than it used to be ten years ago. People all over the world are investing in this precious metal today, but the question is is it really the best investment you can make. The fact is that central banks always convert their currencies into it, as a form of insurance, and this is a global gold strategy.

The price is four hundred percent higher than it was a decade ago. Thanks to that, this precious metal became really interesting investment. You will never lose everything you have if you invest in gold, but no one can give you a guarantee that you will actually make a significant profit this way.

Buying stocks and bonds is more or less risky. Higher risk can make you really nice profit, but you could lose everything equally fast. Lower risk bonds won't make you a fortune over night, but you will probably get steady yearly income and additional profit in the end. Regular payouts make these investments quite interesting in a long run.

Considering the fact that such investments provide regular income if the value is rising, and you can also earn some money selling your stocks, it makes sense to invest in them. Of course, if you make bad choice, you might lose all your money. If you buy gold, and the value continues to rise, you will earn a lot selling it after, let's say, ten years, but you won't get any regular income in the meantime.

Keep in mind that you need to store these coins or bars somewhere. So, you have to have a safe deposit box and you must pay a fee for it. Sales taxes are quite high, as well as transaction costs and commissions. In short, you'll have high initial costs that will eat some of your profit. The risk of losing your money is considerably lower, of course.

You can avoid safe deposit fees by storing the coins, for example, in your own safe, at home. In this case, you need to pay insurance costs. As you can see, this low risk investment is quite expensive when you include all additional costs in your calculation. Things aren't so simple, all things considered.

Precious bullion coins are really popular lately. They are valuable as collectibles, and have the value of precious metal they are made of. These items are popular all over the world, and rare ones could be quite expensive. This might be a very good investment. Keep in mind that you have to become an expert, to be able to recognize fake coins. It is quite risky to buy coins from unreliable sources.

In any case, one thing is certain. Your coins and jewelry will never be worthless and you will always find a buyer for it. It feels good to have it, and it is possible to make a fortune. There are some additional costs you have to put into your calculation, but it is still a low risk investment.
