Owning gold coins can benefit you as an investor in a number of ways. Gold is a long-term store of value, a highly liquid, internationally recognized asset of last resort. Gold can diversify, stabilize, and protect you against stock market fluctuations, inflation, and/or economic collapse.
Most importantly, when you buy the right gold coins, your gold can be completely private gold, non-reportable and not subject to confiscation.
“Is now the right time to buy gold?” With gold, the answer is always the same: "The right time to buy gold is when you understand what gold is and what it can do for your portfolio." This page details why you need gold and what gold can do for your portfolio.
Gold is a long-term storehouse of value.
Historically, gold acts as a reliable “store of value” because it fulfills all the functions of money.
Gold is portable and divisible.
Gold is easy to store in an emergency and far more reliable than paper money in a crisis.
Gold is indestructible.
Gold is relatively scarce, and cannot be “manufactured.” Gold's value cannot be inflated away like paper currency.
Gold coins are highly liquid.
Gold is recognizable and acceptable as a form of payment which makes it easy to buy, sell or trade worldwide.
Gold Keeps Up With Inflation.
In recent years, gold prices have traded down because inflation was low. Historically, gold's best friend has been inflation. Economic cycles are permanent facts of life and one of the best reasons to acquire gold today. Even though gold prices fluctuate over the long term, gold has maintained its long-term value.
In contrast, most commodities and the U.S. dollar have declined in value due to inflation. This is why gold coins are often purchased as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations. And why so many investors around the world see gold as "the ultimate asset” – an important and secure part of their investment portfolio.
Gold has kept up with inflation during the past 200 years. In other words, the value of gold – what it can buy in real goods and services – has remained remarkably stable over time.
For example, a man’s suit in sixteenth century England at the time of King Henry VIII cost the equivalent of one ounce of gold, roughly the same as a suit would cost today.
Gold, the Hard Asset Diversifier.
Whether your investment approach is conservative or aggressive, gold coins can play a vital role in diversifying your portfolio. Many experts urge investors to keep a significant portion of their total assets in gold. Many recommend holding 10% to 30% in gold depending on your individual circumstances.
Gold’s low-to-negative correlation with stocks and bonds makes it an excellent portfolio diversifier.
Gold is one of the best insurance policies for your portfolio. The purpose of diversification into gold is to protect the total portfolio against fluctuations in the value of any one asset or type of asset. Gold does exactly that. The reason is basic: the economic forces that determine the price of gold are different from and in many cases opposed to, the forces that determine the prices of financial assets.
As a result, gold prices move up independently of stocks and bonds- often rising when stock prices fall, and vice versa. Simply put, gold can be viewed as portfolio insurance to guard against unforeseen stock market gyrations or a major high-tech stock market crash.
