Gold bullion<\/a> is a great investment.\u00c2\u00a0 It has averaged a rate of return of 17.1% over the last 9 years.\u00c2\u00a0 It has fulfilled its role as a financial insurance for those that have owned it during the 9\/11 crisis, banking failures<\/a> and stock market correction during that same time frame.\u00c2\u00a0 So not only did gold bullion appreciate dramatically (over 340%) but it also kept people safer.\u00c2\u00a0 But where is gold headed?<\/p>\n

Ask yourself the following questions:\u00c2\u00a0 Is the U.S. economy is on its way to recovery?\u00c2\u00a0 Is the dollar going to continue to be the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reserve currency for the next 20 years?\u00c2\u00a0 Is our national debt here in the U.S. repayable?\u00c2\u00a0 Is the government going to continue to print money?\u00c2\u00a0 If you answered yes to any of these questions then gold is a good fit for your portfolio.\u00c2\u00a0 Gold is first and foremost a financial insurance.\u00c2\u00a0 It should be used to protect the paper assets you have accumulated throughout the years.\u00c2\u00a0 If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any, you are vulnerable.<\/p>\n

But where is gold headed.\u00c2\u00a0 Many experts would say it is going much higher from here.\u00c2\u00a0 Spot price predictions are all over the board.\u00c2\u00a0 From $1,300 to $47,000 per ounce before this bull market is all over.\u00c2\u00a0 No one has a crystal ball, so take predictions with a grain of salt.\u00c2\u00a0 Look at underlying trends and understand how bull markets work.\u00c2\u00a0 We are currently experiencing a full fledged second phase.\u00c2\u00a0 Very few people in the U.S. actually own gold and this will change. We will eventually reach the third and final phase where gold will reach higher and higher highs.\u00c2\u00a0 This run up will typically be dramatic because everyone will want to own gold at any price.\u00c2\u00a0 In my opinion gold bullion is a great investment.<\/p>\n

What are better than gold bullion are numismatic\/rare gold coins<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 They have consistently proven over the years to offer better protection and performance for their owners.\u00c2\u00a0 The most common $20 Liberties and $20 Saint Gaudens have achieved an average rate of return over the past 9 years of 27.01%.\u00c2\u00a0 Nearly double gold bullion.\u00c2\u00a0 These coins are private and confidential and offer protection from gold confiscation.\u00c2\u00a0 They have a higher cost of doing business so you need to be able to hold them long enough to allow them to do what they need to do.\u00c2\u00a0 Most companies will recommend 3 to 7 years, but this will depend on the trend cycle.\u00c2\u00a0 If gold takes off watch for rare gold coins to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
