3 Good Reasons to Buy Gold

Here are three good reasons to buy Gold & Silver:

1. Price Expectancy: Gold has always held a long term value in and outside of the marketplace. As it falls and rises in trading and markets, gold will always hold the potential of increased wealth when you physically have ownership of it. 

Unlike stocks and bonds, where you can view your wealth in print but may never hold it in actuality, gold and silver in your physical possession will always have value. Even if the markets were to one day crash, gold will always rise above the falling dollar. 

Substantial Value. Many times throughout history, the incremental growth of Gold & Silver value can be seen grow when heated politics and governmental turmoil cause negative shifts in foreign markets. Gold value rises more as markets fall.

2. Retention and Diversification:  When you look at your portfolio and have all the expectations like many do, of seeing great growth and wealth building, you might not think much about precious metals. 

Truth is, the three main metals you should diversify yourself with are Gold, Silver and Copper. While other metals like platinum or titanium are also well established metals, the three that have the longer history in holding their value and creating wealth are Gold and Silver, with Copper in a low third.

Diversification in precious metals should have a 5% to even a 15+% addition diversification to your overall portfolio. 

I know that some investors recommend that you have 20% of your total portfolio in gold holdings, outside of your actual portfolio. For instance, if your total wealth in your portfolio is $100,000.00 you should have at least $10,000.00 in gold or silver in accessible holdings.

Gold possession and holdings will create a barrier between uncertainty and lowered growth. If you want your stocks and wealth to be diversified, gold is the only true economic certainty that will provide for the future. As it is a well know fact, Gold will never become worthless. It retains it's worth outside of trade and stocks. 

 

3. Wealth Gains in a Crisis: If you were to pay witness to another great depression or stock market crash in your lifetime, gold will only gain in worth and actually increase your wealth. 

If the Dollar or Euro fell sharply tomorrow, your gold and silver would only grow in value. A common misunderstanding in Gold and Silver is that having them in actual physical possession means having risks and burdens. In fact, gold is one of the most secure items you can keep under lock and key. In a deposit box or in a home safe, gold in hand, or easily accessible is a secure and healthy way to obtain future wealth in any market crisis.
