December 1, 2009 – Wise gold investing is easier said than done, because there are such a wide range of gold products, gold dealers, and opinions on the gold market itself. However, many investors in past cycles and in our current cycle have seen substantial gains in their portfolios due exclusively to their physical gold holdings.

Even though our traditional financial markets have struggled to maintain stability throughout our current recession, gold and other commodities have risen steadily throughout the last few years. Stocks, bonds, and cash accounts have fallen off drastically because of the US dollar’s woeful situation, and the inability of big business to remain financially responsible and profitable simultaneously.

Wise gold investing can be done by contacting a reputable gold exchange, and you can rely on a company that holds a rating of A or better with the Better Business Bureau. If you plan to hold your gold les than 14 months, invest in a physical gold bullion bar or coin that can be delivered to you.

If you plan to hold your gold longer than 14 months, and/or if you are concerned about government intervention into your private financial matters, certified gold coins could be the wiser investment.

If you are investing in gold from within your retirement account, insist on a physical gold investment instead of gold stocks or exchange traded funds (ETFs). You will be happy with this decision in the long run, because when you begin to withdraw from your account you will have the option of receiving physical gold or a dollar-based payment.

Anything could happen in the gold market, so it is important to understand that while gold has historically succeeded during tough economic times, it remains to be seen what will happen with our dollar and our economy in general.
