Get The Facts On Physical Precious Metal Investment With Precious-Metal.org

November 4, 2009 – Although many companies provide gold-“backed” investments, gold derivative options, and leverage programs, sagacious investors choose to stick with physical precious metal investments. There are a few advantages with owning physical bars and coins over these alternative “gold” investments. Wise investors take positions in the physical gold and silver markets for several reasons.

LIQUIDITY – Investments like gold stocks, ETFs, and derivatives often require weeks to liquidate. When you need to increase your cash on hand, physical precious metal investments are just as liquid as the money in your checking or savings account.

DEBT-FREE OWNERSHIP – High-risk investments like leverage programs have drained the wealth of many investors, and the margin calls on these debt-laden investments can put you in a deep hole. The potential benefits of a leverage program are encouraging, but gold spot price fluctuations have cost investors millions during the current cycle.

PRIVACY – If someone else holds your gold for you, you have no idea who else knows about your investment. True safe-haven assets are privately stored in a fire safe or nearby safety deposit box. Even if your local bank closes, as so many have, you are in no danger of losing your safety deposit box’s contents – including your physical precious metals.

PERFORMANCE – The past few years have prompted American investors to reevaluate their investment strategies, because our traditional markets have been woefully unstable. Investors who have diversified into physical gold have seen over 400% growth since 2001, and the recent spikes in the gold spot price indicate that the current upward trend could be intensified. Safe-haven demand and the large number of IRA investors who have supplemented their retirement accounts with physical gold and silver have contributed to the rising gold spot price.
