Anchor Your Portfolio with Gold
Recent market turmoil has again shown that gold is a safe haven in rough financial waters. Gold has been mankind’s currency of choice for thousands of years. Gold protects your portfolio as a safe, secure, liquid tangible asset.
For physical delivery, this asset can be obtained in several forms including bars, coins, jewelry and art, among others. Bars usually need to be assayed before trading. Jewelry and art, although very beautiful, have high fabrication premiums.
For most individuals, Legal Tender gold coins are the easiest to buy, sell and trade, and are backed by their country of origin.
Some examples are American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, South African Krugerrands and Chinese Pandas.
Basic Principles when Buying Gold
When buying gold for physical delivery, always take shipping charges into consideration. Be sure to have a storage facility in mind like a safe or safety deposit box. Only deal with reputable dealers – gold is CASH.
