Gold, An Investment For Recession Times

Shall we invest in gold in these crisis times? Due to its intrinsic value, gold has always been regarded as a safe investment.

This precious metal was accepted as a monetary standard by several European nations at the end of the 19th century. The United States took the same decision after the Civil War and the “greenbacks” became convertible into gold. This international standard made possible to change any paper currency into gold at the central bank of issue.

According to the World Gold Council, the annual demand for gold seems to be around 1000 tons. Above and below fluctuations depend on the economic/financial conditions.

The key sellers of gold – central banks, and the International Monetary Fund play an important role. We should not forget the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) as one of the main players. This valuable metal can be easily bought or sold over the counter of the central banks. A certificate of ownership is issued for the gold investor and you no longer have to think of storing the actual gold bullion. Bars carry lower premiums than gold bullion- hence their increasing popularity as an investment.

You can buy gold or you may opt for gold coins. Bullion coins are priced according to their weight. Gold investors receive a certificate of ownership. If you prefer on-line transactions, companies licensed as Digital Currency Exchange Providers help you with your DGC (Digital Gold Currency) account which has to be 100% backed by gold bullion bars or other precious metals.
