Buying gold bullion can be a thrilling experience, because playing the highs and lows of the gold spot price has made some investors a lot of money over the years. These investors look closely for what they believe is a valley, and they go all in with bullion bars or gold bullion coins.
Once these investors cross the “break even” point after commissions and transaction fees are accounted for, and the premium on their chosen bullion product, they could see quick profits if the gold spot price on the Commodities Exchange (COMEX) rises substantially within a short time frame, as it has throughout much of the last two months. If the gold spot price happens to pull back, however, gold bullion investors may be forced to take a loss on heir investment or wait months for the gold spot price to correct from the profit-taking and catch up with the market.
Buying gold bullion is recommended for profit-seeking investors who want to liquidate their investment, hopefully for a profit, within 14 months maximum. If you plan to hold gold longer than 14 months, then buying gold bullion may not be your best choice. Long-term investors have historically done better financially with certified gold coins, and these more expensive coins are also private.
