October 30, 2009 - Buy Gold And Silver

Our nation’s dire economic circumstances have created an upward trend in gold and silver, and investors who want to buy these precious metals have ample options available to them. Investors who would like to diversify into the gold and/or silver markets should conduct diligent research before sending their funds anywhere or to anyone.

Investors who envision the possible collapse of our dollar should only buy gold and silver coins that have been certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Investors who see the United States emerging from its recessionary period may prefer gold and silver bullion, if short-term inflation is the only concern. Whether a bullion or certified coin purchase is made, investors who buy gold and silver should always take physical delivery of their metals if possible. By taking delivery of the bars and/or coins, the investor gives himself or herself self-empowerment and financial independence, no matter what problems arise for our nation.

Some investors are unable to take immediate delivery of their metals, because our government mandates depository storage for investors who buy gold and silver for their retirement accounts. These investors should be aware that they do own physical metals that are actually placed on a shelf in the depository with the investor’s name on the box. Our government “needs” to monitor how IRA funds are utilized, so they have authorized Sterling Trust and GoldStar Trust to manage IRAs that contain physical gold and silver. IRA investors should place bullion products inside their retirement account if they plan on a short-term precious metal diversification, but longer-term investors generally do better financially with the American Eagle Proof. The gold and silver version of this coin is non-confiscatable if our government recalls bullion again, and the growth that is seen in the American Eagle coins has been magnified with the Proof version.
