March 30, 2009 - The wise American investors who want to diversify into precious metals could benefit by purchasing certified investment grade rare coins that are immune from events such as the ones that occurred during the 1933 confiscation of gold. These certified coins are considered non-confiscatable because they hold a certain numismatic value to collectors of rare or unusual coinages. Investors are beginning to take advantage of this market because they can own physical possession precious metals without the worry of the United States Government reenacting the events that occurred during the 1933 confiscation of gold. Fortunately, companies such as the Certified Gold Exchange can assist an American investor who wants to diversify their assets into the appropriate precious metal without having to go through a middleman.

During the midday trading hours, gold is sitting at around $925.30 per ounce, an incline of $2.20 or .24% for the trading day but a decline of $5.60 or .60% in the last 365 trading days. As you can see the market is just barely recovering from losses seen last week, and short-term projections are expecting the metal to peak at $990 per ounce this week, which puts it just $43 away from its all-time record high of $1033 per ounce. This could be an ideal time to shift funds from stocks and bonds into precious metals, especially since safe haven assets are expected to outperform most other investments throughout 2009. Happy investing and don’t forget to diversify correctly in order to hedge your hard-earned wealth from inflation and other negative scenarios such as the 1933 confiscation of gold.
