Investing in Gold

Buying gold has always been a great investment. In 1970, gold was $37 an ounce. Now it is almost $1,400 an ounce. That's an increase of 3,700% - or about 90% a year! What other investment yields 90% per year?! None. Now gold will likely not continue that pace, but it will continue to rise.

With all the wars going on around the world, with governments continuing to print money, and with central banks buying gold whenever they can, gold has no reason to decline in value. Gold is a proven method of preserving value, especially when a national currency is losing value. The dollar is weak and its getting weaker due to economic policies that don't appear to have an end in sight. Worldwide gold production is not rising as fast as gold consumption. The supply cannot meet the demand. This is why prices will continue to rise.

There are many ways to invest in gold. You can buy gold bars or coins. You can purchase gold certificates. You can invest in gold mining companies, or even buy a gold mine of your own. They are cheaper than you think. However you decide to invest, make sure you do so now! Gold has been going up for 40 years and it's not stopping any time soon!
