Why Buy Gold?

Gold is not used as a currency today, but its role as money dates back thousands of years, and makes it superior to any currency. In fact, gold has outlasted every currency in history. One of the crucial promises of money is that it serves as a long-term store of value. Gold fulfills this promise better than any fiat currency as this chart shows below.

All Major Currencies Have Depreciated Relative to Gold

If you buy physical gold, you can hold it in your hand, something you can’t do with most any other investment. Real gold can’t be destroyed by fire, water, or even time. Gold is tangible, finite, and highly liquid. Gold is easily convertible to cash, and can go with you anywhere. Physical gold is one of the most ideal investments for long-term wealth preservation. It is also ideal for your heirs since it will hold its purchasing power longer and stronger than any currency they may use in the future.

Most investors believe their portfolio is diversified, yet upon honest review find their brokerage accounts are full of mostly stocks and bonds. This guide will show you how to achieve true diversification, the kind of diversification that can shield your portfolio against market uncertainty, growing volatility, and the inevitable downturns.

Successful investing is not just picking a stock that’s expected to rise, but it is understanding how gold can protect your other investments and simultaneously preserve your purchasing power, regardless of currency depreciation, economic slowdowns, market crashes, government miscues, geopolitical conflicts, or any other crisis that may come our way.
