Investing in Gold Bullion








Should you be investing in gold bullion?

With
the current rising trend in the value of gold it is a prudent idea to
invest some assets in gold at least for the long term, if not for the
short.

So what gold should one invest in?

One can invest
in shares in gold companies, in ETF (gold exchange traded funds), gold
in online gold accounts such as goldmoney.com or in gold coins and gold
bullion or bars.

Whereas, in a fickle market subject to pressures
not related to the value of gold, shares or exchange traded funds might
go down, solid gold has traditionally held its own in the market place.

An
ounce of solid gold will still buy the same value now as it did 100
years ago. Shares will not. Probably the best choice by far is to buy
actual gold. This can be in the form of gold coins or gold bars. They
are easy to obtain from reputable dealers and mints online and also have
an appealing aesthetic quality admired by most collectors. In addition
the gold content is usually clearly labeled and guaranteed.

Gold
coins such as the American Gold Eagle, The Australian Kookaburra,
Canadian Maple Leaf, the South African Krugerrand and others are very
popular with collectors and enthusiasts.

Also the basic gold bars
or biscuits, as they are often called, from one gram up to many troy
ounces, can be easily purchased and stored for the future. Perhaps not
as popular as gold coins and a little harder to sell, nevertheless they
are still a valid form of bullion for many collectors.

In times
of economic downturn or uncertainty, wise people tend to invest in gold
coins which can be easily sold in just about any country on the planet.
Gold coins are easy to hide from burglars, easy to store and transport
and are generally tax free.

So when it comes to investing in gold
bullion, gold coins are considered one of the best investments one can
make for the future.
