Why Buy Gold Bullion? Everything You Need To Know
Here are the facts:
There is no method to turn quick profits when investing in gold. If you have ever heard anything different... SCAM!! Anyone now or later promising methods for immediate cash is trying to get your hard earned dough. Can you make money buying gold? Yes, but this is not what you want to do (trust me). Is it quick or easy? No, it takes time and you need to put in a lot of effort. Is it safe? It can be. Now... STOP!!
You never want to simply buy gold. You want to make a solid investment for long-term financial security. OK, now...
Relax, you have found everything you need to know.
Buy Gold Bullion - Know Your Gold
Gold Certificates, Stocks or What?
The first decision you need to make when investing in gold is what exact medium are you going to invest in. Is it going to be in gold certificates, gold stocks or actual gold itself?As far as I am concerned, there is only one route to go and that is with the actual gold, why? Gold certificates are ALL either illegal to possess or practically worthless. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is lying to you and meaning to cheat you.
If you have ever thought about investing in gold stocks, let me stop you here. If you have done any research on it you already know that there is no single gold security or bond. There are actually well over 50 publicly traded gold stocks ranging from $5-$50.
Truthfully, you can earn 3:1 over time investing in stocks versus just gold itself. Also, you could lose everything. Is there anything special between trading gold stocks and any other security or bond? No. If you want to own these then you should probably stay away from gold stocks in the meanwhile.
As I said there are over 50 publicly traded gold stocks and they have a huge range in price, this is due to the different measuring systems. You would be surprised as to how many different types of "ounces" there are!
Buy Gold Bullion - The Good Stuff
GOLD GOLD GOLD
Now the good stuff. Gold. You have three basic versions that you can buy. There are gold bars, don't get these they are too difficult to maintain. You could also get gold coins, still not these because rare coins inefficiently raise prices and buying the right type of coin can get complicated.Finally, gold bullion. This is the stuff you want but you have to leave here now to learn more and get started. Gold bullion comes in bars and coins so the process can be tricky. If you are serious in investing gold for the long-term then please proceed but keep in mind this factors before investing:
-You must have the best Action Plan (read not free, but must be "risk-free")
-You want to buy gold cheap
-You want to find sellers who are quick to sell (remember you are in it for the long haul)
-You want a proven product, a formula that has been boiled down and can be repeated

- Very interesting, so buying gold bullion is the way to go right? I guess it makes sense not to buy rare coins though. Just sentimental value or something will launch the prices. Great article, little on the short side but good quality read.

So, you never said how much money should be invested? Does it depend or is there at least a min? Can you buy gold from the bank?

- This is for ANYONE out there. Do you all really think it is wise to invest at all, let alone in gold, during a recession? I guess I have not really thought it through although now that I have thought of it a little more I am not as sure anymore. Still don't think its a wise idea but maybe if it was gold would probably be the place to be. Anyone else have any input?

- You should add more stuff. The reason your lens is not ranked high is because it lacks content. The quality may be good but if you look at all the top guys. They all have really long pages. Add more stuff! I really hope the quality is just as good as this though ;) Keep up the good work!!

- I don't know what some of these other guys are talking about. You know your stuff. Keep it up and you could probably teach a class on it (if you don't already). Would like to see more content like this. So much of the time people are trying to turn a quick buck and get sucked into thousands of dollars or monthly payments of hundreds. No one seems to want to actually invest in a future. Sew a seed now to reap a harvest later. Peace.

- To the previous poster and Louis. The OP cleared directs you to where you could not only find out more but actually get started on the investment phase. Its not just about window shopping, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! Otherwise nothing will ever change. I do agree that he could definitely post more articles like this. Right now this seems to be his only submission. Happy Investing!! I know I will be ;)

But where am I supposed to buy gold really cheap? Any pawnshop or dealer you go to will not budge even a $1 for every $100 worth.

- You kind of left us hanging at the end there with what to do next. Made it pretty much impossible not to follow the link if we were interested but I guess that is why you threw that in there.
Quick and easy read and not bad altogether if not actually good.
Write more about gold. Either more information about gold bullion here or create another lens. There are already way too much on this subject but you could do better and this one falls short of a complete education to be honest. Keep working on it.
