December 14, 2009 – Before you reach the point of committing to a gold investment, make sure that you clearly understand both sides of the gold bug argument. Just as with any investment or any other aspect of life, there are usually two or more sides to consider.

While gold has been on the rise since 2001 and higher interest rates historically meant higher gold prices, some economists have speculated that our nation is walking firmly on the path to financial recovery. If this is the case, gold prices will most likely continue to fall, as they did last week.

However, gold is up 0.8% today and it has been rumored that China, India, and other nations will continue to supplement their respective central banks’ holdings with more gold. If the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sells another 200 tons of ore to gold-seeking nations, or if the IMF uses some of its reserves to aid poor nations as investment mogul, George Soros has suggested, then US household investors will most likely see a higher gold spot price.

The gold spot price, which is available around the clock at www.GoldPrice.net, elevates with higher demand, and there is no question that demand for gold and other safe-haven assets has increased dramatically since our recession began. If you foresee an improving US economy in the very near future than a gold investment may not be the best route to take, but if you believe that our economy will double-dip and falter further then it may be wise to own some physical gold.
