Gold is the most popular as an investment. Many countries implemented gold standards investment. gold is traded continuously throughout the world based on the intra-day spot price, derived from over-the-counter gold-trading markets around the world . annual mine production of gold over the last few years has been close to 2,500 tons. About 2,000 tons goes into jewelry or industrial/ production, and around 500 tons goes to retail investors and exchange traded gold funds . Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or harbor against economic, political, or social fiat currency crises (including investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest. Given the huge quantity of gold stored above-ground compared to the annual production, the price of gold is mainly affected by changes in sentiment (demand), rather than changes in annual production (supply).
The gold standard is a monetary system in which a country’s currency unit is freely convertible into a fixed weight of gold. The Gold Standard was used between 1870 and 1914 – currencies were fixed at a set exchange rate to ounces of gold. Countries that shared this fixed unit of account in principle shared a fixed currency relationship. Gold, first and foremost, is wealth insurance. You cannot approach it the way you approach stock or real estate investments. Timing is not the real issue. Those concerned with the possibility of capital controls and a gold seizure, or call-in, often include historic pre-1933 gold coins in their planning. Both the contemporary bullion coins and historic gold coins trade at modest premiums over their gold melt value, track the gold price, and enjoy good liquidity internationally.
Over the past few years, as concern about a financial and economic breakdown spread, there were periods of gold coin bottlenecks and actual shortages. In 2008-2009 at the height of the financial crisis, demand was so great that the national mints could not keep up with it. The flow of historic gold coins from Europe was also insufficient to meet accelerating demand both there and in the United States. Premiums shot-up on all gold coins and a scramble developed for what was available. There is an old saying that the best time to buy gold is when everything is quiet. We should underline that sentiment. Traditionally, wealthy, aristocratic European and Asian families have kept a strong percentage of their assets in gold as a protective factor. The long term economic picture for the United States has changed enormously over the past several years. As a result, that same philosophy has taken hold here particularly among those interested in preserving their wealth both for themselves and for their families from one generation to the next. Gold’s baseline, essential quality is it’s role as the only primary asset that is not someone else’s liability. That separates gold from the majority of capital assets which in fact do rely on another’s ability to pay, like bonds and bank savings, or the performance of the management, or some other delimiting factor, as is the case with stocks.
The first chapter of the ABCs of Gold Investing ends with this: “No matter what happens in this country, with the dollar, with the stock and bond markets, the gold owner will find a friend in the yellow metal — something to rely upon when the chips are down. A solid, professional gold firm can go a long way in helping the investor shortcut the learning curve. A good gold firm can help you avoid some the problems and pitfalls encountered along the way, and provide some direction. It can help you in the beginning and through the course of your gold ownership both in making additions to your portfolio and liquidations.
