Understanding Gold Investment

A friend asked me if I have any experience investing in gold. I do not but I am interested and have been reading up on gold investment and investment of other precious metals on the website of United States Gold Bureau. At this point, I am not able to invest in gold bullion and I can only afford to buy a gold coin. One day….

However, I asked my friend to read up for himself so that he will know what he is getting himself into. Besides, even if he does not invest in gold, he would still be gaining knowledge. Of course, it’s not for me to tell him if he should or should not invest. That’s for him to decide after doing his own research on the gold market.

Gold, as many of us know, continues to appeal even at the current market price. This is due to the fact that gold is a very stable commodity and an excellent way to preserve one’s wealth.

The Truths & Myths About Gold

My father has been hearing a lot of great things about gold from his friends who bought some rare gold coins recently for investment purposes. My father comes home to say that he too wants to buy gold to keep. Although I am not stopping him, I am afraid that he would follow his friends blindly.

Sure, gold is precious metal that has withstand the test of time and economic turmoil but I would want him to do his own research and form his own opinion and then only decide if gold is still worth investing at this point in time.

Also, I am afraid that he would be handing cash to his friends to buy gold instead of going through a reputable precious metal investment company like United States Gold Bureau.

My father is a good person without vices but he does have a weakness; he listens to his friends too much!

Preserving Wealth With Bullion

A friend told me that with the volatility of currencies, she is not feeling secure with her savings. Besides the usual savings and checking accounts, she also has foreign currency accounts but at the rate that our currency is strengthening, she would soon be losing money!

She said that she is currently waiting for an opportunity to close one of her her FOREX accounts and then buy bullion with whatever she could salvage. I don’t know who advised her to go into FOREX but she said that despite her situation now, she did enjoy some bumper months earlier. Now it’s time to bail out and look for something more stable.

I’m sure we all have read about how bullion is one of the safest ways to preserve wealth. If I have the means, I would definitely explore bullion investment as well.

Buy Gold From The Net

My father has been bugging me to help him buy gold coins from a couple of websites. He doesn’t have a credit card, you see, and doesn’t know what other payment options he has.

Although I am not discouraging my father from investing his money in gold coins, I just cannot find time to read through how to buy gold coins and basically research on the topic. As you know, there are so many scam websites around, I am afraid that my father would end up not getting his gold coins or my credit card information will be compromised.

I have bookmarked the website of US Gold Bureau and hope to find time to read through all the articles first before helping him with his purchase but I don’t really have a mind for investment and would feel sleepy and lose concentration every time. My father asks me why I don’t feel the same when playing social games and could sit at the computer for hours. LOL

Gift For Newborn

A friend told me that when her son was born, her parents bought a gold bullion for the baby, with specific instructions NOT to sell the bullion. She said that the baby, when he is an adult, will benefit from the increased in value of the gold bullion.

Gift of gold bullion could possibly be one of the best that parents and grandparents could give to be newborn. I read that US$25,000 worth of limited mintage investor gold coins over a period of thirty years or so could be worth over a million dollars. Gold bullion could also possibly achieve the same appreciation in value.

My friend told me that if she could afford it, she wants to buy more gold coins and even bullion for the baby on every birthday. It’s usually a tradition to give gold coins to babies but it’s usually not done in a big way.

Doing Sufficient Research Online

I talked to a friend recently and asked him if I should allow my father to go ahead and invest in gold bullion. My father has heard from his buddy that there is money to be made but the buddy didn’t exactly say how or where.

My friend is in risk management so I thought that he would know. However, he said that any investor would have to be on the ball and keep up with the daily news of whatever market he is investing in, even though some markets are more volatile that others.

As for gold bullion, now could be a good time to gain entry since the price of gold in the world market has gone down a little. Hmmm this still doesn’t help me to decide if it’s safe for my father to invest in gold bullion!

Online Resource For Precious Metal Investment

My father, whom I taught how to use the internet not too long ago, have been visiting the website of United States Gold Bureau. I asked him why he is suddenly so interested in precious metals and rare coins and he said that his friend told him about his recent investment in precious metals and have made a tidy profit.

My father says that if there’s money to be earned, he would like a piece of the action as well but he is not someone who would dive in blindly since he is an educated person, just not very web savvy. Now that he knows how to operate the computer, get online and use the search engines, I trust that he would be able to obtain all the knowledge that he requires in his new interest in precious metal investment.
