Why Precious Metals?

Ownership of precious metals has a long history of safeguarding the value of money during periods of economic downturn, but it is over the past decade in particular that gold, silver and platinum have proven their ability to well outperform many other asset types. In fact, as economies all over the world continue to struggle with an array of troubling issues, more and more experts are pointing to the tremendous upside potential of gold, silver and platinum. Many, in fact, predict that in the not so distant future, the price of gold could skyrocket to as much as $5,000 an ounce.

From the declining U.S. dollar, to ongoing geopolitical concerns around the world, there are a number of reasons that many people are deciding to move a portion of their assets into U.S. Government Issued Gold, in particular. Below are some of the major factors currently influencing the gold market:

The Decline of the U.S. Dollar

Traditionally, gold and the U.S. dollar move in opposite directions. For example, while the U.S. dollar has exhibited mostly weak performance over the past few years, gold has skyrocketed to an impressive series of record-highs, reaching over $1,900/oz. for the first time in 2011. And with many experts convinced that quantitative easing policies will cause the dollar to lose even more value in the years to come, many are moving money into the safe-haven of gold before its price moves any higher.

Gold Continues Outperforming Stocks

Recently, while poor economic data has caused tremendous U.S. stock market volatility, the price of gold has skyrocketed to a series of all-time record high prices. With the recent S&P downgrade of America’s credit rating, experts predict an ongoing roller coaster ride in stocks, while gold is expected to continue its amazing march toward $5,000 an ounce.

The Threat of Inflation

Over the past several years, the U.S. Federal Reserve has battled the effects of the nation’s economic downturn by lowering interest rates and injecting trillions of dollars into the U.S. financial system. Unfortunately, those practices can also serve to spur inflation and, in fact, many experts predict that very result. When prices of goods and services rise, many people seek refuge in gold as a trusted inflation hedge.

Bank Failures

The country’s worst financial downturn since the Great Depression has had a number of devastating effects, not least of which has been the failure of hundreds of U.S. banks. And with many U.S. banks still on the FDIC’s “problem list” of institutions, people are deciding that the time has come to move some of their assets out of savings accounts and into the protection of physical gold.

Geopolitical issues

During times of turmoil at home and abroad, the price of gold typically increases as people seek the precious metal’s proven safety and stability. With a current laundry list of international issues that include civil unrest and violence in the Middle East, ongoing problems with Iran and North Korea and even the ever-present threat of a terrorist attack, gold has continued to perform at record-setting levels.

Gold Supply/Demand Issues

With gold’s tremendous performance of the past decade causing record-setting demand around the world, availability of the precious metal has emerged as another of the growing reasons that gold is on the move. Among issues affecting gold supply are the expense involved with mining it, the fact that production in some locations is said to have dried up, and even in areas where production continues, no one is quite sure how much gold is left to be removed from the Earth.

Hedge Against Other Economic Issues

In addition to the weak U.S. dollar and the potential for inflation, issues including ongoing U.S. unemployment, an out of control national debt and a still anemic housing market are causing many experts to point to the potential for a “double-dip” recession.  For many people, this potential is enough reason to begin diversifying their financial portfolio with legal tender gold, silver and platinum coins that are fully backed by the U.S. Government for content, weight and purity.
