Gold Investment Prediction

Let’s look into the future to see what will happen to the US economy as well as the rest of the world’s economies. Got your crystal ball handy? Let’s be blunt, no one has a crystal ball and can know for certainty what the future holds. If these so called “economic experts” really knew what was going to happen in the future, wouldn’t they be richest of all people on the planet? Like most people, they make the majority of their money from their jobs and not investments. Especially those you see on T.V. or read their material.

Will gold be a good investment? Will real estate? Will stocks and bonds? Will the economy recover as the Obama administration claims it will?  All you can say for sure is the US and much of the world is walking on egg shells when it comes to an economic recovery any time soon. They are moving slowly and with caution.

Think About This

Think about this…. another big bank failure. A blow-up in China. Another 9-11, another war… it wouldn’t take much to cause a panic today, would it?

Inflation, deflation are inevitable according to most economic experts. No matter what you believe, is your money at risk if you do nothing? By doing nothing or putting money into real estate, stocks and bonds, you are gambling on the economy recovering. You are making a prediction and taking a risk based upon your beliefs. Is it smart to believe one way or another or should you be prepared for the worse case scenario?

Prepare For The Worse – Hope For The Best

Rather than guessing, gambling or listening to what the economic experts say about the future of the economy, wouldn’t it be smartest to prepare for the worse and hope for the best? If you invest in gold you are not gambling. Why, you ask? Because a well diversified gold portfolio is a solid rock foundation to any investment portfolio. It is your escape clause, your answer to liquidity if times get really bad. It becomes the greatest of all insurance policies you ever owned. Gold is real money. That will never change. And real money is your guarantee to financial stability.

No matter what happens to gold prices, a well designed gold portfolio will always hold it’s value. With time, most of your gold holdings will see solid gains. But let’s assume it doesn’t. That means the economy is thriving, the stock markets are at a all time high and real estate is booming like you have never seen it before. On the other hand, if the economy goes into the toilet, gold will sky rocket. Nobody, no so-called expert, will disagree with that statement. Show me one expert that does and ask what their solution would be if it’s not gold or any other precious metal.

So, here is my gold investment prediction. It may go up or it may go down. But one thing is for sure… I have a safe haven during the worst economic times. I’m insured against the worse and most importantly, I am protected against economic disaster. Are you prepared for the worse and hoping for the best?

What Type Of Gold Investment Is Best?

Gold experts agree, “You should have several types of gold in your investment portfolio”.

Bullion & Investment Grade Gold – 25-30% allocation. 1-3 year hold. This provides a conservative, high liquidity investment. 1 oz. gold bullion coins currently minted by the U.S. Mint. These coins move more according to spot price.

Mint State Gold – 15-20% allocation. 2-5 year hold. This provides a faster growth potential and higher overall returns for the long term. U.S. Gold coins minted between 1890 and 1933. These are Indian and Liberty coins and can be purchased separately or as 4 coin sets. These coins rise in value over time due to historic importance, quality and demand.

Rare Coins – 50-60% allocation. 5+ year hold. This is for those looking for the greatest return provided they are held long-term. The higher the quality, the more historically significant, the rarer the coins, the more potential for gains. It is noteworthy, these coins are not subjected to gold spot price for their value.

Gold Investment

Typically, most people look at a gold investment the wrong way. As pure speculation. Savvy investors look at a gold investment as a hedge against inflation and a way to protect their other investments from losses. But the smartest of all investors don’t speculate on gold prices at all. They purchase gold coins that are not going to diminish in value based on the spot price of gold. They understand that gold coins are valued upon history, quality, scarcity and demand. These gold coins investors are seeing profits that far exceed the spot prices in a bull market.

Review of the Gold Investment Market

Gold investment worldwide has grown dramatically in the last ten years. Several factors are now stimulating gold investment by new pension fund money, as well as by private investors and governments worldwide.

Demand from New Gold Investment Markets

Sales of gold across Asia are surging due to their local economies booming and private investments grow. China’s gold investment demand grew by 20% in 2007, while Indian consumers bought a record 900 tonnes – well over one-fifth of the total world market.

Gold Mining Fails to Meet Gold Investment Demand

Gold mining companies throughout the world have failed to meet the growing demand from gold. The world’s No.1 gold mining nation, South Africa, has seen its annual gold output produce slashed in half since 1998, and new operations in the the world have failed to pick up the slack. Gold investment analysts don’t forecast in change in the output.

Gold Investment vs. the US Dollar

As the US Dollar devalues, gold investment has risen against all major world currencies. In the five years to 2008 buying Euros to defend against the Dollar’s decline has returned 47%. Gold investment, on the other hand, has returned 131%.

When Inflation Occurs, Gold Investment Shines

The money supply in the United States has doubled in the last seven years. In Europe, growth in the money supply hit a near-30 year record in late 2007, increasing the appeal of gold investment.

Gold Questions & Answers...

What kind of gold should I buy?

Answer. The most asked question of all. What type of gold you buy depends upon your goals.

If your goal is simply to capitalize on price movement, then bullion coins or just bullion is the answer. If you are interested in long-term asset preservation then you might want to include a variety of pre-1933 European and American gold coins. These gold coins are historical items and afford the investor a greater degree of safety than gold bullion.

Q. When should I buy?

A. When you need it. Don not think of gold purchases as you would traditional investments such as stock or real estate. The real goal is to diversify so that your overall wealth is not compromised by economic disaster.

Q. Why not wait for the necessity to arise, then buy gold?

A. During the course of 2009, when concern about the financial crisis was peaking, there were periods of gold coin bottlenecks and actual shortages. The national mints could not keep up with public demand, and the flow of older gold from Europe was slowed by accelerating demand both there and in the United States. Premiums shot-up and a wild scramble developed for the available gold, even at rapidly escalating prices.

These events pointed up some of the problems inherent to the contemporary gold market. During times when demand for is strong, you cannot call and order gold coins like you can most other consumer items. Even running at full capacity, the manufacturers (the national mints) cannot keep up with demand surges like the one we had in mid-2008 and again in early 2009. This is true of older gold coins too. They are swiftly bought up and become hard to acquire. Since these coins aren’t being made anymore, their demand become greater.

Q. What percentage of my assets should I invest in gold?

A. 10% to 20% of your investment portfolio should consist of gold. How high you go depends upon how concerned you are about the current economic, financial and political situation.

Q. Can you briefly describe what you believe to be the biggest mistake investors make when starting out as gold owners?

A. The biggest trap investors fall into is buying a gold investment that bears little or no relationship to his or her objectives. Take safe-haven investors for example. That group makes up 90% of our clientele, and probably a good 75% of the current physical gold market. Most often the safe-haven investor simply wants to add gold coins to his or her portfolio mix, but too often this same investor ends up instead with a leveraged (financed) gold position or a handful of exotic rare coins (often costing five or six figures). These have little to do with safe-haven investing, and most investors would be well served to avoid them — except as a sideline.

Q. What is your view of gold stocks?

A. Many people own gold stocks and that is fine for many investors. However, it should be emphasized that gold stocks are not a substitute for real gold ownership, that is, in its physical form as coins and bars.

Q. What about gold futures contracts?

A. Futures contracts are generally considered one of the most speculative arenas in the investment marketplace. The investor’s exposure to the market is leveraged and the moves both up and down are greatly exaggerated. Something like 9 out of 10 investors who enter the futures market come away losers. For someone looking to hedge his or her portfolio against economic and financial risk, this is a poor substitute for owning the metal itself.

Q. Please summarize: What is the best approach for the safe-haven investor?

A. If you want to protect yourself against inflation, deflation, stock market weakness and potential currency problems — in other words, if you want to hedge financial uncertainties, there is only one portfolio item that will serve you in all seasons and under most circumstances — gold coins and bullion. Gold is the bedrock to any investment portfolio.

Some people claim that gold is not really an investment. They assume gold is used only for making jewelry or coins. That gold has no “real value”. Actually that is completely false.

For instance, 10% of all gold mined is used in manufacturing electronic goods.

Without gold, thousands of products such as satellites, space vehicles, cell phones, car components, computers, flat screen TV’s would not exist. Over 400 tonnes of gold per year are used to create these products. Gold is also used in the medical profession. Life support systems, cancer treatments and arthritis are just a few examples of how the medical profession uses gold.

To say gold is not a good investment is naive. Here is why…

1. All US currency was once backed by gold and silver. Why was our dollar backed by gold? Because gold is scarce. If something is scarce it has worldwide value. And for more than 5000 years gold and silver has been used as money throughout the world.

2. The US went off the gold standard in 1971. Use of gold in coins ended in 1933 when the government outlawed private ownership of gold and increased its controlled price as part of efforts to end the Great Depression. In 1971 President Nixon ended all controls on the metal’s price, allowing it to float and ending its use as backing for the US dollar.  What is backing our US dollar now? Your property and labor. That is it. As the government continues to escalate our national debt, we face the prospect of bankruptcy and allowing foreign governments to confiscate our property and freedom.

Gold has risen 20% in value each year since 2000. As the US government continues to print more money and devalue the dollar and go further in debt, gold will continue to rise. Gold and silver are a hedge against inflation. That is fact.

To invest in gold purely as speculation is not advisable. Gold should be used as a safety device to protect yourself from inflation. It is your investment from a collapsed economy. If your other investments plunge such as real estate, the Dow Jones or your business, gold will be the one investment that saves you from complete financial disaster. 5000 years of history proves that point.

A well rounded investment portfolio would have at least 10-20% in gold.

So what type of gold should you invest in? After all, you could choose gold stocks and bonds, gold bullion, gold jewelry or gold coins.

Of all the gold investments, gold coins have appreciated the most. Since the year 2000, many gold coins have risen 7000% in value. Compared to 20% for gold bullion, coins can be a much better choice. But beware of new coins. The fact is coins minted today are plentiful compared to coins minted prior to 1933.

Gold coins are more valuable when they become scarce. The better the quality and the rarer the coin, the more it will increase in value.

If you are buying gold strictly as a hedge against the economy, then bullion would be a safe investment. If you want to catch the wave of the gold bull market and make higher returns, older gold coins is a proven winner.

Is gold a good investment and if so, why is gold a good investment?

To answer these questions first ask yourself this… are you protected from a complete economic disaster with your current investments? Is there “uncertainty” with our government and leaders creating fear for the future?

Gold has been used as currency for thousands of years because it is a scarce commodity. Because gold is in short supply, gold will remain a valuable asset for thousands of years in the future.

Most important, gold offers the investor protection from uncertain economic times. The more inflation occurs, the more uncertainty caused by our government leaders, the higher gold rises in value. Gold is the one commodity you can count on for uncertain times or a complete economic disaster. That is why smart investors buy gold bullion, for protection no other investment can provide. Also…

The gold market has never crashed in thousands of years.

The demand for gold is sky-rocketing since the year 2000 due to a weak economy, inflation, record unemployment, wars, huge government deficits and uncertainty from our government leaders.

Gold bullion has historically proved itself to be secure no matter what happens in the world.

Gold is a highly liquid asset, it can be bought and sold anywhere in the world. It is universally recognized as a valuable asset. Right now, many countries will not exchange dollars, or buy US currency outright. In economies like this, having assets that are liquid is essential should an emergency occur.

Take a close look at the world economy. Nobody can say with certainty that the world economy will recover any time in the near future. It is my opinion that the world’s economy has been spinning out of control due to greed. Greed has ruined not only the US economy, it is rooted within most governments worldwide. I don’t see that changing any time soon, do you? All of these things make for an increase in the value of gold. So if you truly want to invest for success, and want your investments to last far into the future, invest in gold so you have the best protection from being completely wiped out financially.

If an investor is looking for an investment for the long term that has low risk; physical gold would be the ideal investment in that case. One other aspect about gold is unlike other investments gold can not become worthless because of the actions of a few, unlike a stock or a bond. If the organization that issues the stock or bond is engage in dubious accounting practices, the value of the stock or bond can be affected drastically.

Gold coins and bars have been shown to hold its value or sometimes even increase its value when the manufacturer of the coin or bar ceases to exist. The reason for this is if a gold coin stops being manufactured it can essentially mean that coin becoming a collector’s item. Also if the coin was not manufactured extensively it can mean it becoming rare as well. To answer the question is gold a good investment, knowing the investor’s goals is one of the most important factors in answering the question.

But before considering any investment at all, you have to be clear with yourself what is the main objective of your investment. Gold is not recommended as a sole investment. Smart investors do not buy gold with the thought of getting rich. They buy gold to protect their wealth. Looking at gold, it is generally considered to be a hedge against inflation and against a weak US Dollar. Investors globally view gold as a safe haven and regularly buy gold as a means of protection against any currency-based, economic, political or social crisis. Such crises, for example, could be inflation, currency failures, social unrest that result from it, or wars.

Today we are dealing with an artificially manipulated economy and the Fed keeps printing money as is needed. The deficit spending of the US government is spiraling out of control and you should protect yourself from economic disaster.

To understand the value of gold is a bit like understanding the principle of an umbrella. When it rains people easily see the value of an umbrella and they will buy it even on a sunny day when rain is forecast. Just as you should buy gold bullion before the crisis arrives. When it continues to rain, soon enough the price for umbrellas goes up and they will quickly be sold out, just like the snow shovels back east.

I hope this has shed some light as to why is gold a good investment.

A gold investment has never been more important in today’s economy.

Most investors are putting 20% of their capitol in a gold investment.

Many gold investors are selecting gold stocks or gold bullion.  But it turns out gold coins are providing the biggest returns.

If you bought gold bullion in the year 2000 you would have seen a 20% return on your gold investment.  Not a bad return, but consider had you invested in gold coins that same year, you would have seen as much as a 7000% return.  Especially if your coins were issued before 1933.  That is because of the numismatic effect.  Gold coins go up in value regardless of gold prices.  Sure, the more gold rises in value the higher a coin will sell for, but even if gold does not go sky high, historically coins continue to rise in value.  There are only so many gold coins available.  Therefore scarcity becomes your friend when it comes to a gold investment.

For more than 6000 years gold has been valuable.  It is very likely that will never change.  As economies struggle and currencies are devalued, gold becomes even more valuable.

Gold is easy to buy, sell and store. It is available at coin and precious metals dealers and selected banks and brokerage firms across the U.S. and around the world.  You can make purchases in virtually any amount, ranging from a fraction of an ounce upward. The weight and purity of gold coins and bars are precisely controlled and standardized by internationally-recognized refiners and mints, allowing you to buy with confidence and sell with ease.

Gold bullion products are based on the underlying price of gold bullion, plus a small premium. As with any investment, it is always advisable to check the terms of the purchase agreement, procedures and prices offered by the dealer. Prospective investors should consult their financial advisor regarding tax laws or other circumstances.

Recent independent studies have revealed that traditional diversifiers often fall during times of market stress or instability.

On these occasions, most asset classes (including traditional diversifiers such as bonds and alternative assets) all move together in the same direction. There is no “cushioning” effect of a diversified portfolio — leaving investors disappointed. However, a small allocation of gold has been proven to significantly improve the consistency of portfolio performance, during both stable and unstable financial periods.  Greater consistency of performance leads to a desirable outcome — an investor whose expectations are met.

So it will not surprise you to say, a gold investment is what the smart investors do and the smartest gold investors choose older gold coins. To learn more, get our FREE Gold Investment Guide.
