5 Reasons why you should hold some of your wealth in the form of gold coins or gold bars.

 

For thousands of years gold has been a measure of wealth. And for most of the last two thousand years it has been the foundation and standard against which a country’s wealth has been measured.

 

That’s why even today the central banks of most countries keep thousands of tons of gold bars locked up in their vaults. When all else fails, gold keeps its value. In fact, when currencies and economies even look like failing, the value of gold skyrockets.

 

What does this mean for you and me? Well, we can own gold as well. We can buy bullion coins or even small gold bars and keep them locked up in a safe at home.

 

Why own gold instead of stocks and bonds? You can own both. But you may want to consider some of the benefits of keeping at least some of your wealth in the form of physical gold.

 

Here are a few reasons why:

 

1. Your own stash of gold is outside of the banking system. If your bank fails or your retirement investments disappear, you’ll still have your gold. It’s in your possession, and not owned or held by a bank or anyone in Wall Street.

 

2. Gold is liquid. That is to say, an ounce of bullion grade gold can be exchanged for cash in any city in the world. It has the same value everywhere in the world. It will always be accepted and exchanged for cash.

 

3. The value of gold goes up when everything else goes down. Gold is the great balancer. In times of inflation, when the value of your dollars declines, the value of your gold will go up.

 

4. Gold is portable. You can carry thousands of dollars worth of gold coins in your pocket or purse. Whatever goes wrong, with gold you will always have wealth you can walk away with.

 

5. Gold is real. Paper currencies are just “promises” printed in paper. Governments can break those promises. Currencies can lose their value. But gold is always “as good as gold”. It will always be valuable.

 

Owning gold doesn’t mean selling all your other investments. In means holding a proportion of that wealth outside of the “system” and within your reach at all times.

 

It will always make sense to hold a certain proportion of your wealth in the form of physical gold coins or bars.
