excitement on the way of diverse investments is that they actually invested using one of the oldest ways of the world's gold and silver coins. thing is that gold is for sure one of the stablest media worldwide. Imagine that you and the king Croesus of Lydia, who lived from 595 BC and died 546 years before Christ actually share something, a desire for a store of wealth through the acquisition of gold. Actually I'll be talking about more money than bullion, but it is just as financially stable to collect, but no numismatic value of money. So, what we are looking at investing in a product that you can hold in your hand, has a stable value and can be difficult to hedge against market and special economic crisis. Cool huh?
Can you imagine getting the same thrill from a beautiful and expensive piece of gold, and then hold information about buying stocks. Although those values are at that point be more valuable than others, for the sheer awe nothing beats the feel of gold coins. Speaking of awe at the sight of gold, my wife and I visited Charleston, SC last month and were privileged to visit the restoration of the CSS Hunley. For those who do not know, CSS Hunley was the first reported combat submarine which actually sank a wooden hulled ship from Charleston Harbor during the War between the States. One of the artifacts recovered gold was $ 20.00 a piece that the owner had in his pocket during the Battle of Shiloh. He was shot in the hip shot struck coins in his pocket. Money saved his life, but it was bent. owner of the jeweler to write the date and circumstances of the money battle that has been said that money saved my life .. We have seen this penny 143 years later, just as shiny as new, but the marks of bullets. What do you think that the money like it was worth? Priceless? It is certainly time for its owner. Or you can even place it on the price?
Now everyone can find an idea for coin collecting as a means to diversify investments, archaic and very old fashioned we shall continue to relate events that occurred in 1980, not long ago. During the four years since President Carter a favorite hedge for inflation and general instability in the economy at that time was gold.
coin easily available in a lot of the Krugerrand from South Africa. I'm sure you are aware that during the height of inflation, which occurred in the Carter years, severe rationing of gas from OPEC during this time of economic crisis, the choice of Smart Money crowd was Krugerrands. They are easily accessible high quality (.917 purity) and the government has allowed their purchase.
All though the U.S. government does not allow private ownership of what is called "leverage" but did not allow ownership of foreign coins this soon became the all time favorite of many professional men and women .. Krugerrand was first minted in about 1967, and soon fill the need for stable and easily portable one-ounce coin with a purity factor of 0.917. Its kind of amusing to me that Paul Kruger was the similarity of the money that was probably made of gold discovered in the Witwatersrand in South Africa, for which he once said that the discovery "will cause our country to be soaked with blood." How right he was. However, gold has always had that reputation.
to check carefully on the spot market for gold as of this writing the article shows that the bid was $ 662.83 and the ask is $ 665.63. To give you some thoughts about the stability and usefulness as a hedge against economic fears, this comment came from a precious metals trader in Europe, "if we can get above the resistance increase in the price of gold from 667.00 should easily run to $ 700.00su price . A comment from a bank in Europe, recently proposed that the precious metal fell slightly due to the quarter-end squaring the funds (which invest heavily in metals), after failing to break above the resistance level of metal. Another situation surrounding the incident seizure of British Navy personnel by Iran still fuels safe-haven interest and concern for the supply of crude oil should the situation escalate. "For what is worth most analysts are bullish on near-term effects of bid and ask prices of gold and take a longer view that gold remains a place of safe haven for money during troubled times. I can add a decent property in a diversified investment portfolio.
if you will check back on this web page because I'll still read and write about gold, silver, platinum and palladium as a safe haven for money in troubled times. a final thought or two. Ask any family in Europe, whose grandparents had to flee from the attack of the army which is one thing that is always true, and I suspect they will say, gold. Paper money is easily underestimated and low printing without a pause, but gold?
