Has the time come to invest in Gold and Silver
For centuries gold has been a universal currency. Physical gold should form a part of every properly diversified portfolio. It is a universal finite currency, held by every central bank of note in the world.
Gold investments are to be taken possession of or stored with a secure third party and should not be traded. One does not trade an insurance policy and thus as a form of financial insurance, physical gold should not be traded.
The housing market in the UK is pretty much collapsing and soon we hear foreclosures will be at an all time high! (This is what is happening in the US) Anyway, with the stock market barely holding on and many investors thinking twice about investing money into new or even established companies what can we do?! When troubled economic times abound, I hear you should invest in commodities that hold their value no matter what the situation. The reason commodities remain valuable is that they are not dependent upon the state of the UK economy, they are of value to the world!
Investing in gold
At mjward.co.uk we believe that physical gold should form a part of every business man or women’s investment portfolio. If you think about it, gold is a currency, held by every central bank on this planet! Gold is a form of saving for the future, a rainy day or for financial insurance. Once purchased it is to be taken and stored in your safe or with a secure third party and should not be traded! Think of gold as an insurance policy, a form of financial insurance for the future. Especially with today’s stock markets and economies being so unstable gold the safest bet because over the centuries it has always retained its value.
Gold is the ultimate safe investment and asset and a great way, if not the best way, of ensuring wealth from one generation to the next! Gold bullion in your investment portfolio will always been seen as big asset compared to other investments in gold such as mining stocks or companies selling gold to the public. Investors often opt for high-quality pre-1933 gold coins graded MS-65 or better by either the Professional Coin Grading Service or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. These are gold coins bought by investors then taken possession of unless purchased in large quantities.
Investing in Silver
Silver is one of the most plentiful and least expensive of all the precious metals, silver is used in jewellery, mobile phones, and even as hard currency for centuries! With that in mind, some analysts argue that silver from an investment point of view is seriously undervalued!
Silver does have some heavyweight fans in today’s business and investment circles and those in the know are taking the plunge adding lots of silver to investment portfolios. I have been asking myself why invest in silver today? Is it really in short, supply and demand? Based on investment research carried out by mjward.co.uk Gold seems harder to come by… Anyway, the fact of the matter is that the uses for silver are growing. It has been reported that every year the world uses more silver than it mines! Demand for silver has outdone the mined supply for the past decade, with an average annual deficit of 133 million ounces!
If the global economy continues to flourish at its current rate, and China continues with its current rate of growth then more silver will defiantly be needed, and the price will rise!
