Knowing how to invest in gold or where to buy it can be a tricky and long process… If you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing that is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The trouble is, most people don\u2019t have a clue about investing in gold.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to show you exactly how to invest, where to invest AND what types of gold you should be buying if you want to make some money.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but I\u2019m also going to show you what dangers, scams and pitfalls you need to watch out for, so you don\u2019t lose your hard earned cash.<\/p>\n

Lastly, you\u2019re going to learn how to sell gold, so you can get the best return possible.<\/p>\n

Ready to get stinking rich from gold? (ok, maybe not rich, but a nice little nest egg that you can retire on for sure).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do this…<\/p>\n

6 reasons why you should be investing in gold right now<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gold is a solid investment (no pun intended).<\/p>\n

Every serious investor has some amount of gold in their portfolio. It\u2019s a tried and tested asset that gives you a great return, whether physically or in stocks.<\/p>\n

So let me start by convincing you why you should be spending some of your moolah on this shiny stuff.<\/p>\n

Here are 6 reasons why you need to invest in it…<\/p>\n

1. Used to exchange value for thousands of years<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gold jewelry has held it\u2019s value since the early days of civilization. From the Chavin civilization of Peru around 1200 BCE, who used gold in castings to the Egyptians in 5000 BCE who used Electrum (the naturally occurring alloy found in gold and silver) in jewelry.<\/p>\n

Even today, gold is used in jewelry and bought\/sold by millions of people worldwide. That jewelery holds aesthetic value and currency value, unlike many other natural materials.<\/p>\n

2. Never loses value<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite market fluctuations, gold will never really lose it\u2019s value. It will always be used to exchange goods in place of money and hold true value, regardless of where you are in the world.<\/p>\n

Since 1970, the price for an ounce of gold has rocketed from $35.17 to a ridiculous $1,313.30 (as I\u2019m writing this now).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a MASSIVE rise in value! You would never get that type of value holding from paper currency or coins.<\/p>\n

3. Can be used in emergencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Even if there is a state of emergency and the banks shut down (they can actually refuse to give you your money, or conduct a bail-in which is where depositors cash is used to \u201cbail-out\u201d the bank). You can still use your gold as money for essentials. Either to barter or to melt down and swap for cash with someone who has reserves.<\/p>\n

That is why governments use gold to back currency, because of it\u2019s immense value. Take the infamous Fort Knox<\/a> for example, the US have a reported 2.3% of all the gold in the world stored there.<\/p>\n

In real money that is said to be worth $261.6 billion dollars, WTF!<\/p>\n

4. Doesn\u2019t care about inflation or deflation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the down periods in history, investors have found gold to be one of the best investments to hedge against inflation, because it\u2019s price goes up even though the cost of living increases.<\/p>\n

You can pick any year in the last 50 years that shows high inflation and gold has surpassed it. Same goes for deflation. Even in the great depression of the 1930\u2019s, gold still smashed it.<\/p>\n

5. It\u2019s finite<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How much new gold do you think is produced every year<\/a>? Millions of tons right?<\/p>\n

WRONG!<\/p>\n

50 million troy ounces of gold is produced per year. That equates to about 14 feet cubed. One big fat cube of gold!<\/p>\n

Yes seriously, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

Anything that is considered finite will keep rising in value until there is none left to produce. That\u2019s because demand naturally increases when something is harder to get your hands on (like a leggy blonde that can cook and is great in the bedroom).<\/p>\n

6. Perfect asset for any portfolio<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ask any big time investor if they have any gold as an investment, either physical or tied up in stocks. I guarantee you, they will say yes.<\/p>\n

Why? Because gold is an amazing asset for diversification. Any time there is a whiff of trouble in the stock market, gold rises.<\/p>\n

Smart men diversify, they don\u2019t buy one thing and hope it makes them money.<\/p>\n

The 4 types of gold you should be buying<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you think of gold, you might think… jewellery… or big heavy bars. But there are actually four types of gold that you can invest in AND have a positive return on if you\u2019re smart.<\/p>\n
