More About The Global Gold Strategy

By Enid Hinton


The price of gold is higher than ever. It rises continuously for a decade now, and some people really made a fortune in this period. That's why people find it to be one of the most interesting investments today. Of course, there are no guarantees that this trend will continue. Even so, central banks are still protecting their investments by changing parts of their currencies into gold, and this is still a global gold strategy.

So, one ounce costs four hundred percent more than one decade ago, and thanks to that, some people have earned a fortune. The price is still rising. Will this trend last, no one can tell. In any case, investing in gold is a low risk investment, and you won't lose all you have if you choose to invest in this precious metal. Will you make a fortune, this is entirely different thing.

High risk investments can make you fortune over night, but you can equally easy lose everything you have. Good choice of bonds can also make you a nice yearly payouts. Lower risk investments can also provide regular yearly income, with considerably lower risk of losing everything you've been working for.

So, buying bonds give you regular income and some profit if you sell them, of course, if their value is rising. If it doesn't, you will be losing your money, or a part of it. If you buy gold, you can be sure you won't lose everything you have invested, and you may earn significant amount if the value is rising. Of course, you won't get any regular payouts out of this investment.

For now, investing in precious metals looks really nice. But, there are some other things that have to be included in this calculation. For example, there are different hidden costs involved. First, you have to store your precious items somewhere. The safest option is to rent a safe deposit box. Of course, you'll have to pay a fee for it. There are some other expenses there as well. For example, commissions, transaction costs and sales taxes.

You can also keep your wealth in a safe at your home, and avoid some of mentioned costs. In this case, you will have to pay high insurance costs. As you can see, you simply cannot avoid certain additional expenses. Considering all these additional costs, calculating your final earning might not be so simple as it looked like.

Bullion coins are sometimes clever investment to make. They are valuable because they are made of precious metals, but they have additional value as collectibles. It might be considered as a low risk investment, and you might earn a great deal of money if you are lucky. On the other hand, coin scums are all over the Internet, and you might end up with fake coins.

So, should you invest in gold or not, this is your decision only. There are simply no guarantees that you'll be successful in this. The price may continue rising, but it might also fall. In any case, you won't lose all your life savings investing in precious metals. You won't get regular payouts either.
