Why Is Gold A Safe Haven Investment

By Carol Craden

Predictions are flying left and right about when and how this economy will right itself and if the bailouts will work. The actual fact of the matter is that nobody really knows what the end results will be. The worst case scenario is that everything fails and countries get pushed even further into debt. You can read as much as you want, but the conclusion you will probably come to is that it is too soon to tell.

We can't foretell the future, but we can review the past. Gold has always been, and will always be a safe haven investment. It doesn't matter how the worlds financial system ends up, gold is here to stay.

Now, the above statement may sound a little extreme so many. However, the truth is gold bullion offers a level of protection from economic collapse that no other commodity offers. Some of the soundest advice you can receive is to diversify your investment portfolio. There are four main investments that make up a well diversified portfolio- Stocks, bonds, real estate, and physical gold bullion (coins and bars).

All over the wold, those who are in the know are literally tripping over themselves to secure as much gold as possible. Let us share two reasons this is the case:

1) It's hard to rely on paper money when so often in the past it has lost all of its value, while never in thousands of years has the gold market crashed.

2) The world financial institutes demand their debts with each other be payed in nothing less than physical gold bullion, what do they know that we don't?

Essentially, when times get tough, the tough buy gold. This economic stimulus package and the billions of dollars in it don't appear out of thin air. Realistically there are going to be consequences for these actions. A huge stress relief is when your investment is in a commodity that is as secure as possible. A huge hint that gold is secure is the simple fact that major banks hold their assets in physical gold.

Remember, we are talking about physical gold bullion here. Not the paper gold certificates or stocks. Those may be fun for short term investments, but gold is a long term investment for security. Thing in those terms and you will find success.

It is undeniable that the top financial advisors have been actively promoting buying gold now before the price rises much higher. And it will rise in price for sure. By the end of this year it is said to reach over one thousand dollars an OZ, and that this isn't even half of what it could peak at very soon. - 23212
