How to Invest in Gold

InvestorsInsight.com — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 01:39:58 GMT

Many analysts suggest that gold’s bull-run is not over and that it will continue to give even better returns in the near to mid-term. By the end of this year some think that gold might re-test $1800 an ounce…TBD.

Here are the most favored ways to invest in Gold

Physical gold: You can buy jewelry, gold coins or gold bars. Bullion coins seem to be the favored strategy and can be brought either from dealers or from banks. Numismatic (collectible) coins are another possibility but require a higher level of expertise.

Gold ETFs: ETFs are an easy way to invest for those who don’t want to keep physical gold for safety concerns. It’s a hassle-free method to maintain a position…you can buy ETFs through your online brokerage account.

Equity-based Gold funds: You can invest in mutual funds which have exposure in companies engaged in gold exploration, mining, processing, extraction and marketing. All you need to have is an online brokerage account, and you’re all set.

Gold Stocks: Overall gold stocks are down as much as 30% over the past year, and in the same time frame, the price of physical gold has risen. This suggests that there’s money to be made buying a hammered sector of the stock market when it is out of fashion and nobody wants it. Think value investing in a speculative sector.

This point of view (POV) says buy gold stocks, as the sentiment will rebound, the crowd will come back and there will be profits in the short to intermediate term. Could also be a trading strategy.

Futures: You can buy gold futures through most discount brokers, but it’s not recommended for the novice or even moderately experienced investor…steer clear unless you are a professional trader.

On-line Gold Purchases: The Hard Assets Alliance was founded with one overarching goal; to provide member clients with a better way to buy, sell and own gold, silver and other precious metals. Transactions can be made online 24/7 from anywhere in the world and include as a standard option the storage of purchased metals in New York, Salt Lake City, Australia, London or Zurich.

With a SmartMetals™ account from Hard Assets Alliance, you can buy or sell fully allocated lots of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium - single coins to multi-ounce bars - instantly, online. No more waiting for your check to arrive at a dealer, only to find out the price has changed, or that your order was only partially filled, or more expensive than you intended. You'll have all of the information you need before you buy or sell. ENROLL ONLINE

Top 10 Stocks Under $10

InvestorsInsight.com — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 04:05:09 GMT

How do you beat the Street?

It’s an old question to be sure, and one that every fund manager, stock picker, and individual investor out there wants to find an answer to.

You can pick up Peter Lynch’s 1993 best-selling book ‘Beating the Street’ - the main message in that book is simply to 'buy what you know'.

Gold Rush 2010 - 3 Top Stocks for Gold $1,500

InvestorsInsight.com — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:56:58 GMT

Fellow Investor,

As the Chief Investment Strategist for an investment research firm, I’m frequently asked two questions about gold:

1) Can gold really keep going up in price?
2) What’s the best way to invest in gold today?

As to the first question, I’d like to remind you that gold is money. It’s been used as money for thousands of years and not for reasons of tradition, vanity, superstition or even policy - but simply because it exhibits the unique qualities that mankind seeks in money as a medium of exchange and store of value.

To quote former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, gold is “durable, portable, homogeneous, divisible...” and so it makes an excellent store of value. Even Mr. Greenspan knows that gold is money!

This notion might be foreign to most people today - but gold is particularly good as a medium of exchange and store of value, in much the same way that aluminum is particularly good as a building material for aircraft, or cattle are particularly suited for eating.

So whenever someone asks me, “can gold keep going up in price” the answer is yes, as long as it’s priced in currencies that have no relationship with tangible assets in the real world. Today, the world’s governments are engaging in a suicide-pact of debt policy. There’s literally no problem that they think can be solved without large influxes of fiat currency. Debt is their policy, and they’re resolute in their belief that it will eventually “work” to fix any number of real problems in the world. They believe in this policy so fervently that they’re willing to devalue their currencies—relative to one another and to gold—to no end.

So yes, gold will rise for the simple reason that it’s priced in an abstract commodity known as “currency” that has no basis in reality.

Given this inevitability, and the propensity of stocks related to gold to multiply gains made in gold’s price, it’s vital to give your investment portfolio exposure to relevant securities. Read the analysis in this PDF very carefully. The three investments that I’ve selected offer a wellrounded strategy for taking advantage of gold’s continued climb.

Good investing,

Ian Wyatt

How to Find "Buried Treasure" in Wall Street’s Most Underappreciated Stocks

To many, making money in today’s stock market can be an extremely difficult - even impossible - task.

While it’s true you may be able to hold your own against your "peers" (other nonprofessional investors), beating seasoned market pros at their own game is a battle you’ll rarely win. The odds are just not in your favor, since these "experts" have the privilege of playing on an uneven financial field.

Over the course of my long career on "The Street", I’ve seen "up close and personal" how "conventional" Wall Street wisdom works against the "little guy" - the average investor.

But I’ve found a way to beat this system and earn above-average… or even extraordinary returns in the process-by unearthing what I now call Wall Street’s Buried Treasure.

So here’s the first thing you need to do related to that "conventional, deck stacked in their favor" Wall Street wisdom...

Savvy Money Moves to Make NOW for a Richer Retirement

InvestorsInsight.com — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:49:22 GMT

Are You Socking Away Enough?

The biggest planning mistake most people make is not realizing how much retirement will cost and how much money they will need. Fortunately, those who remember a few principles and use today's low-cost technology can substantially reduce the margin of error.

Surveys of future retirees abound. An interesting survey from Merrill Lynch found that 42% of Baby Boomers do not know how much money they will need to live comfortably in retirement. That is a key point because surveys of those already retired reveal that those who did some kind of retirement planning were better prepared financially than those who did no forecasts.

There are many ways to do some basic retirement planning in addition to taking the time and expense of meeting with a financial planner. There are books and other materials available through most 401(k) plans, mutual funds, and other financial service firms. There also are a number of web sites that offer retirement calculators, many of them free, some for a fee.

No matter which approach you use to plan for retirement, keep in mind that retirement planning is not science. It is an art. There are different methods for estimating retirement spending, and assumptions are used in each method. Do not simply accept the estimate generated. Understand how it was developed and its limits.

Here are the key principles to keep in mind...

The Continuing Recession: How Bad Is It and How Long Will It Last? - A personal conversation with John Mauldin

John Mauldin — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:18:57 GMT

I told my readers we would have a recession in 2007; it’s now 14 months long and counting. Will this be a “V” shaped rebound or a “L” shaped recovery? With higher unemployment and lower consumer spending, this could be a nasty one, so here’s my thoughts on “Why” and “What You Can Do About It.”

A Case for Investing in China

InvestorsInsight.com — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:32:30 GMT

The cradle of one of the oldest civilizations on earth is the scene of the most extraordinary economic and financial transformation in history. In the last 30 years, the People's Republic of China has been home to the fastest growing major economy the world has ever seen. This is a country where change is taking place on an unprecedented scale and at an unprecedented rate, where people are living lives unimaginable just a few years ago. This communist nation has learned how to cash in on capitalism and private enterprise. China and its people are growing richer and more powerful every day.

It is impossible to ignore the economic growth phenomenon that has unfolded in China over the past three decades. In 1978, Chairman Deng Xiaoping, the architect of "The New Socialist Market Economy", initiated an unprecedented social and economic transformation that ended Chairman Mao Zedong's devastating Cultural Revolution.

The successful implementation of this ambitious and revolutionary social experiment laid the foundation for what has become the world’s most dynamic economy. With average annual growth rates of approximately 10% since 1992 (hailed by The Economist in 2005 as "The Great Leap Forward” and “A Model of Reform”), China has emerged as an economic powerhouse. It has grown faster for longer than any country in history.

The People's Republic now accounts for 13% of global gross domestic product (GDP), based on purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates, and most economists agree that soon, China will surpass Japan in GDP making it the second largest economy on earth behind the United States. China's economy is already second when evaluated based on purchasing power and it has been suggested that China could reach parity with the U.S. by 2020.

China's accession to the World Trade Organization and the overwhelming success of the 2008 Olympics attest to China's growing importance on the world economic stage.

EverBank World Market Report - 12/1/2008

InvestorsInsight.com — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 21:27:23 GMT

November continued to see overseas purchases brought home as dollars, thus keeping the dollar in a rally that is now in its 4th month. We elected a new President in November without having to wait months for the outcome! As you read this, the markets will have entered into its year-end trading patterns of book squaring and closing out of risky positions. There is a ton of stuff to cover this month, so let’s not dawdle!

October turned out to be a historic month in the Financial Sector. In all my years (since 1973) in the markets, I have never seen anything close to what’s going on today. The bailouts, the stimulus packages, the ultra-low interest rates, LIBOR out of whack, and the Financial Sector losses have all added up to a bizarre month, and unfortunately, it looks as though it may continue for a while.

August, long known as the “dog days of summer” was just that for the currencies as the dollar staged a one-month rally to beat the band. This has been one swift, strong and relentless rally by the dollar, leading many to believe the weak dollar trend for the dollar had ended. And it may have… But I doubt it! And I’ll give you all kinds of reasons to agree with me as we journey through this month’s Review & Focus!
