Gold Silver Bullion

It has been historically shown that the onset of an imminent, long-term inflationary cycle can be interpreted as a powerful economic indicator to consider investing in gold and silver bullion. Gold, in particular, has been shown to be inversely correlated to dollar values, and when properly diversified with silver bullion, demand for both precious metals tends to rise. Silver also has various technical and industrial attributes that contribute to its inverse spot-price correlation to dollar values. Nonetheless, when global demand for gold rises, the need for silver tends to rise as well, because both metals are the traditional diversification metals of choice. Gold and silver bullion has been used as a tool for wealth preservation and profit for thousands of years, and now, more than ever, precious metal investments make good sense.

Gold and silver bullion investments generally take the form of bars and coins. These bars and coins are manufactured all over the world and usually weigh between 1/10 of an ounce to 400 ounces; what weight you choose will depend on which product best suits your specific needs. Some of the more popular precious metal products are:

Gold Bullion Bars

• Credit Suisse
• Pamp Suisse
• Johnson Matthey

Gold Bullion Coins

• American Gold Eagle
• Canadian Maple Leaf
• Chinese Panda
• Austrian Philharmonic
• South African Krugerrand
• Austrian 100 Corona
• Mexican Gold Peso
• Swiss Franc
• French Franc

All precious metals have a buy and sell differential that is dependent upon market movement. This is the difference between the price an exchange will pay for your bullion, and the price at which it will sell to you. Always remember that the country issuing the particular bar or coin will also charge an added premium to the exchange, a premium that is above the current market spot price.
