A Ounce

Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven against any economic, political, social or currency-based crises. These crises include investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest. Speculators also buy gold early in a bull market and aim to sell it before a bear market begins, in an attempt to gain financially.

Whether as a stepping stone into the physical market, or as a move to diversify your investment portfolio, gold offers strong benefits to an investor. Of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular as an investment. The risk of buying gold is safer compare to other investment, ie. investment market declines, currency failure, and inflation etc.

Historically, the value of national currencies may rise and fall but the value of gold remains remarkably stable. Gold offers secure value and is easy to invest and fulfills the function of money and is accepted worldwide as a form of payment. You don't need a huge sum of gold to begin investing gold bullion coins but starting by buy gold bars.

This way and gradually, just like saving, eventually the gold bars will be piled up and trade off in higher price. Start today with an ounce?
