Protect your wealth, Buy Gold


Buying gold is the best way to guarantee your wealth. Nowadays, as recession takes place, dollars are fluctuating and getting a lower value than before.  On the other hand, gold increases its price as years go by, and it has been continuously used as the real basis of money’s value.

Protect Your Investment and Wealth
How will you protect and maintain your wealth?  It’s simple.

These are ways to do them:
·         Buying gold items or gold coinsand bullions. This is done by obtaining minted gold coins produced by the government. Some of the popular ones include American eagle gold coins and South African krugerrands. These often have higher value, thus, more expensive than other types of gold, but are sold in a lower, premium price.

·         Obtaining gold investments through mutual funds.  This is an alternative for you, if you don’t want to buy gold physically. Find a company who’s doing it and invest your money, much like being a partner. You can do this by investing in funds that holds stocks in a well-established company.

·         Through gold ETF. Exchange traded gold or ETF is the newest way of investing.  You will invest your money and obtain units.  Each unit (1 unit=1gram of gold) represents 99.5% pure gold and these units can be traded like a company’s single stock in the stock exchange market. It allows the investors to mount up gold in a certain period as they can exchange it in smaller numbers or quantities.

·         Junior gold stocks are another way to invest in gold. Though they are considered risky investments because they are still in exploration stage, they have less capital and they rely solely on their future production.

·         Gold futures. This is done by making a deal to trade gold now (agreeing to prices and amount to be bought), but settling the deal in the future, usually after 3 months (but this mostly depends on the agreement). This is considered to be risky because a change in gold price determines the loss or win of the investment. That is why this is usually done by most experienced investors.

·         Spot gold trading. This investment requires the least capital of them all. You can do this by going online and then buying certain gold coins or bullion at a specific amount.  Selling and trading can be done online so it’s much accessible and practical. It also brings higher profit at a low capital cost.


·         Buy real physical gold bars. Ultimately, they are safe as you own the bars, the only thing you need to worry now is where to keep them.

Gold is robust and dependable. It counters the effect of inflation and exchange rate fluctuation. It also sets the real value of money that is why it is best to get them. In this sense, I can say that wealth is where the gold is.

  1. I never thought that there are other options and avenues to acquire gold, not just the tangible bullions and jewelry per se. One can even start right by obtaining gold investments using mutual funds, which is a good thing since it offers a more secure way of gaining profit from gold ownership. Personally, I would choose having gold mutual funds since they aren't much of a hassle, and I wouldn't have to worry about storage. This article is really great. Thank you for posting this. :)

  2. Gold price has an upward trend since decades and moreover, money value of a country is based on the amount of gold the central bank reserve hold. It’s great to know that we can now invest on gold in so many ways though buying gold bullion, coins or bars seems more secure to me. Though I know that there is a big hassle in storing the physical gold, but yet, I would have the gold at my hand and I can sell it to my use at any point of time and it would be at no other associated risks.

  3. Having decided to try my skills in gold investment, I planned to learn as much as I can about this subject. However, being a novice in this industry, I didn’t know that there are other ways on how to build one’s gold reserves. It’s a great stroke of luck that I stumbled upon this blog post. Learning about these opportunities is great because it means that I can study all these options. As soon as I have at least an overview of each process, I can then, make an informed decision on where to specialize in. Doing so would allow me to focus on the one that I’m most comfortable with.

    Thanks for sharing these insights to newbie investors like us.

  4. Gold is definitely way more secure than cash. I mean the value of the dollar is going down all the time. Pennies are now bascially worthless and nickles are following that path. I saw a dime on the ground yesterday, tons of people did, but nobody bothered to pick it up because it's not worth anything. Gold is worth a lot more than cash and you can definitely secure your future with it.

  5. Sometimes it is a tough call to transform your wealth into gold because some of us are satisfied seeing the actual wealth than to gamble / invest in another form. I agree that gold is a win win investment, but just make sure that as a buyer, you have to understand the trade of buying, must have knowledge of gold, and most of all BE WISE.

  7. Certainly the best practice to protect your wealth is to buy gold. The fluctuating value of dollar and the oil prices now a day’s don’t permit us to have our capital reservoirs in the form of money. That’s a nice approach that whoever don’t want to buy or can’t buy gold physically, they can invest in the Company that is buying gold, exactly like being a partner. Exchange traded gold or ETF is another feasible method for gold investment. In short, to have our future secure, we should invest in the gold now

  9. Or jamais déprécie la valeur. on peut dire que garantie or est une escroquerie qui contrôle l'approvisionnement en or. C'est une meilleure façon de maintenir la valeur de cette précieuse ressource. Venez pour penser à elle, si la société a un accès facile à l'or, ce précieux va diminuer la valeur, l'économie va tomber alors il va causer des problèmes gigantesques.
    D'une certaine manière, un peu, quelqu'un doit contrôler notre énergie et nos ressources, surtout pour la pièce rare, et d'empêcher l'exploitation de la réserve.
    Nous donne ainsi la sécurité et la valeur de l'investissement.

  10. In that case, the U.S. dollar is considered as the world's reserve currency, and the cornerstone of the global monetary system. It is for this reason that the U.S. debt worries and causes a depreciation of the dollar continues. Faced with this devaluation accelerated, all countries with high excess reserves denominated monetary generally convert their dollars into tangible assets. This is the case of Russia, Brazil and China. This trend leak of U.S. currency to Gold Physical accelerates as the devaluation of the dollar. In addition, other international currencies offer few alternatives because they are all based on the principle of paper money.

  11. I knew there were many different methods of investing but I really had no idea how vast my options were. I personally would prefer to buy bullion and coins simply because however reputable a company the fact is you're still putting everything you invest in their hands.

  12. This is the most informative article I ever read. Even I say this is the best article to describe all about investing in gold. It was hard to find the best way to invest, but investing in gold is really a good way to utilize the funds in the future. You can see it from the past ten years, within ten years the price of the gold has been increased almost eight times and it all happens in the period of world financial turmoil. So, it is the high time to make a good investment in gold for the best future.

  13. Sure that gold is currently the best option for trading but we need to ask ourselves how long we can do that. Actually all trade with something that they does not really possess...

  15. Buying gold in the right way is absolutely a wealth preserver. There are several ways to invest in gold and the safest of which is to buy physical gold bullions, that is,if you don't mind about their storage. However, to spare yourself from having to worry where to store your physical gold, you could possibly invest in gold through investing in stocks related to gold.

  16. I predict that it is the time again to start barter. But this barter would not amount to a change of goods it will cause a change of gold. Because at the time economic recession the value of money (e.i. Dollar, Euro, pound) fluctuates or decreases. However the value of gold never falls. Because as time will pass gold mines will be more acquit to find and it cannot be produced by human. There is no way to diminish the price of the gold. So securing the investment by investing on the gold is the best choice.
