Question: Would you advise me to invest on gold bar buy? Why?

( Back )

Answer #1:

No. The gold market is overinflated and with everyone desperate to sell in order to pay their bills soon there will be a glut of real gold on the market and the price will plunge like it did in the 80's.

Answer #2:

You need to look at gold trends over the last 100 years. It looks like gold may get to $1500 and then tank to about $600 afterward. So, if you want to buy now it would be a short term proposition and set your sell point to turn over a gain. But beware, if you set too high and get greedy, you may be stuck as it tanks and then you would have to hold on to it for another 20 or 30 years before it hits these levels.

Of course you may consider a short position when gold hits $1500...

Answer #3:

Why in the world would you want to buy a gold bar? The rip off fees... the storage & shipping issues and if you wanted to sell it quickly... how would you do it?


Don't put more than 1-2% of your portfolio into gold. Use the ETF GLD. It's cheaper & easier to do. Certainly don't put a lot of your money into gold. It can easily go up 50%... but it can easily go down 50%.... It's really not a great investment for most.
