There seems to be a myth about the demand for
gold declining in the media, but in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
The demand for
gold is as high, if not higher, than ever before as witnessed by the high levels of gold price found around the world.
Buy gold coins or
gold bullion from Aurum Advisors, America’s gold IRA, gold coin investment, and gold price providers to household and institutional investors nationwide. American Gold Eagle, American Gold Buffalo, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, and South African Gold Krugerrand coins at today’s lowest discount price.Using one aspect of a market to make an assessment of an entire market is faulty report and rather like saying the entire meat market is slow because one butcher did not buy as much meat as usual.
The desire to
buy gold is not hard to understand; compared to other valuable substances, there is precious little gold in the world. And with its undeniably brilliant sheen and deep, rich tones, it's also easy to understand the appeal of owning gold as a tangible, physical investment. At its best as an investment, gold is both physical and very liquid (it can be bought and sold fluidly). But you can buy gold in different forms (bullion, bars, coins, jewelry etc.), and these forms tend to differ in their liquidity. Unless you live in a part of the world where there is a high demand for gold among jewelers who wish to make jewelry from it, your ability to sell gold bars will be less than your ability to sell gold as coins. This translates to lower probability that you will profit from your investment, something to consider as you buy gold. The primary reason for this is that the gold in
gold bars doesn't bear a governmental guarantee of quality and quantity, while gold bullion does. Gold in bar form is an easier target for tampering as well - only an experienced dealer employing meticulous examination can tell whether a gold bar is indeed solid gold, as opposed to a gold shell filled with a non-precious heavy metal. Many are fooled into buying gold bars that still bear their marks but are nevertheless devoid of gold. You may know that your gold bar is sound - and that's excellent. But even if you know it, when the time comes to sell gold bars, you may have to pay for the examination fees to prove gold value to a skeptical dealer. And if that's the level of skepticism you can expect when a gold bar is marked, imagine what you might face if you're trying to sell a "hidden"(unmarked) gold bar!
When you buy a
gold bar, don't commit until the dealer has proven to you that the gold bar is solid and true. Can the dealer prove the quality and quantity of the gold? Can you trust the dealer? Don't
buy gold from an untrustworthy dealer!
