Gold Investing 101
As you may know, one of the best investments is gold. In fact, it's safe and profitable to invest in gold even with 401k advice. The main reason being that it will maintain its value, even when other investments have declined in value. When there is unrest in countries, nothing else holds its value, except for this precious metal.
Even real estate, which is a pretty solid investment, loses out in political unrest, war or any other instability that may arise. But, gold is a solid investment all around.
The majority of people invest in gold to either profit from its rising prices or for the safety it provides and has done so for centuries. Many occurrences cause investors to buy this particular precious metal. Such occurrences could be wars, social unrest and the like. This is because gold will maintain its value and therefore, provide investors the safety they are looking for.
There are usually two types of markets that inspire people to invest in this precious metal: bull and bear markets. The bull market is the time where people begin to feel confidant that the market will soon recover from the losses incurred; the bear market is the beginning of the demise of markets and investors fear losses are coming.
In 2008 the price of gold rose above one thousand dollars and has pretty much maintained its value in and around that price, even today. When interest rates are really low and putting money in the bank to earn very little interest, smarter investors opt for gold as well as commodities, which usually fare better than other types of investment.
With that said, if you have any money to invest, this market calls for the safety that gold has to offer. Of course, this is a bull market which could mean considerable gains to you. At worse, it could be just the safe haven you need. This recession proved to be very hard on a good majority of the American population who had placed their money in other investments. - 23159
