Buying Gold - A Great Investment

Pure gold that is bought and sold for investment is called gold bullion. Pure gold is considered to be made up of 99.99% gold. You may wonder why it is called "pure" when the percentage is not 100%. At 99.99%, you are still getting pure gold because there is actually no such thing as 100% pure gold.

If someone tries to convince you otherwise, then you know for sure that he or she is not telling you the truth. You never know when small details like this may help you in the future. Buying gold is a safe and stable investment.

Typically, bullion is smelted into gold bars or gold coins. In times of inflation and recession, it is a commodity that investors use as a form of security. You may consider buying bullion as an investment. Especially during times of financial crisis, it is better than any other form of investment. There are still many things you can learn about gold investing.

Another quality a gold bar must have to be considered bullion is to have its content of gold and purity stamped on it. Bullion will have numbers on it that indicate its purity. A bar that is made of pure gold will have 999.99 or 99.99% and will be 24 karat gold.

It will also show how much gold it contains in troy ounces or grams. A troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams. Alternatively, a gold coin does not always have to be 99.99% or 24K to be considered bullion; some gold bullion coins have gold plus an additional alloy of copper or silver. Buying gold is the best investment you can make.

Considered by many to be the best form of currency, gold has been used as a form of money for buying goods since ancient times. Bullion is actually money in the form of gold and you can use it anywhere in the world, since it is universally accepted.

You either buy it or sell it for whatever its current market value is at the time. When buying gold, the best time to invest is when the market price is down. As the price begins to rise, you can sell your gold for a nice little profit.

Buy Gold Coins - A Safe Investment

One of the easiest, safest and best ways to invest your hard earned money is when you buy gold. Gold coins are a popular choice among the various types of gold products available because they tend to gain more value over time.

This is so because the initial manufacture of coins costs more than producing gold bars, since each coin is date stamped. Dating the coin adds even greater value to the item if good condition is maintained. The rule of thumb is that the older the coin, the more value it will build over time.

There are a few simple steps if you are going to buy gold coins. First, it is important to choose the bullion or gold coins that you wish to buy. In order to avoid any confusion, you need to be familiar with the all the types of bullion and coins.

Next, contact a trading house to find out what the current gold price is and all the other necessary details. The best way to begin is to consult a trading house regarding the selection of coins, such as American eagle gold coins. After choosing the coins you want and if the ongoing gold rates are to your satisfaction, then you may confirm your order.

When you are ready to buy gold for the first time, remember the previously mentioned steps to take. When doing any investing, always consult an expert before you begin. A good web site to help you along the way and where you can get more information on buying gold is www.invest.gold.org. Once you have established an account and have begun to buy gold bars or coins, you may then begin to order gold to add to your investment portfolio.

Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.

it darned on me... plus 2 important time-sensitive items

it just darned on me that you may not really know who I am...

so i thought it'd be good to tell you my story to learn who i really am =)

=================================
but first, a couple of important business items:

#1 - Re: re-opening of The Elevation Group.

As i shared with you, i have been a part of EVG since December and a very happy customer.

there are a handful of people that i follow and learn from about business and wealth strategies, and Mike Dillard and Mike Maloney are among the top on my list.

and i believe EVG is one of the best places to learn the investment strategies the 'rich' people use. and trust me, you will NEVER be able to get this kind of information for the price that they are charging.

even for the full price, i would not hesitate for a second to learn from EVG because you'll be charged more for an hour or two of consulting from any financial advisor out there today who will NOT know most of the stuff shared in EVG (or have vested interest in not telling you about them...)

but for a limited time (until Sunday night, you have a chance to lock in the 50%-60% discount pricing ($97/mo or $597/yr).

come monday, the price will increase to the full price (which i think is still a no-brainer deal)...

and they have a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee, so you can literally check out what EVG has to offer without risking a thing =)

click here for the $97/mo option

or

click here for the $597/yr option

or if you haven't watched Mike's FREE 90 minute documentary he created, click here to go watch it here online

it'll probably be the most valuable presentation about money and investing you've ever seen.

#2 - another person who is on my 'to follow and learn from' list is David Bach.

He's the world leader in personal finance and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire® - has empowered millions of people around the world with ordinary incomes to Live and
Finish Rich®.

And, for the first time he's going to show YOU how to do it even QUICKER & EASIER than ever
before. Are you ready?

Click here for details.

=================================

ok. so, let me very briefly introduce myself.

my name is Hiromasa Kaneko (i go by 'Hiro' or 'Hiroma' or 'Hiromasa' - most call me by either of the first two =)

i was born and raised in Yokohama, Japan til age 18, when i flew over to the U.S. to attend Rutgers University in NJ.

as soon as i graduated, i began working for an accounting firm called Ernst & Young (one of the 'Big 4' (used to be 'Big 8') CPA firms in the world).

got started in the 'Entrepreneurial Services' group assisting well established clients as well as start-ups with tax consulting and compliance matters.

i did that for 15 years. it was truly a great experience working with smart colleagues to assist in any way we can to grow our clients' businesses from a tax stand point.

through my professional career as well as from discovering books like 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' and 'Automatic Millionaire', i became aware of how important financial education was and how much of an impact it has on people's lives...

i know 'money' is not everything, but if you can take care of the 'money' issue, life is a heck of a lot easier and fun because it frees you from a lot of things like being able to spend more time with those who you care most
(i am expecting our first child so this is VERY important to me =).

i walked away from my professional career a few years ago to pursue my childhood dream of becoming an
entrepreneur. as a child, i wasn't sure what kind of entrepreneur i wanted to be, but i somehow felt that entrepreneurs were the ones who made the most difference in the world.

so here i am today, living out that dream ;-)

(for the complete story (as if this wasn't long enough...), visit my blog at http://www.HiroKaneko.com which, by the way, i'm planning to do a complete restructuring soon so stay tuned =)

thanks for reading!
Cheers,

Hiro/Hiroma/Hiromasa Kaneko

Understand The Best Way To Buy Gold

Everyone knows that investors buy gold in times of economic turmoil. Those times of economic turmoil are now. Some investors are luckier than others because they may have bought gold much earlier, and at a better price.

But, it's never too late to consider precious metals as an investment, and buying gold bullion is the most popular way to safe harbor wealth. It's true that countless numbers of investors have done just that, with the price of gold showing an increasing trend upwards. Buying gold is a safe option, though the returns may be a bit limited. What is the best time and what is the best way to buy gold, you may ask? Read on to find out.

Over the years, people have consistently chosen gold investing, believing it to be a much better investment than any shares or stocks could ever be and this is for the most part true. Just as gold prices fluctuate, so to do stock markets, but gold has a high level of value because it is consistently in demand.

The best time and the best way to buy gold is when the market is stable and when the market is volatile; in other words, anytime. Another reason why gold is appealing is the fact that a person is less likely to lose their money if they buy gold bars and/or gold coins. Although buying certain stocks may bring a greater return, playing the stock market can also cause you greater financial loss if you fail.

Most investors see buying gold as a security measure against the long term instabilities of the market. The price of gold is resistant to short term political upheaval and economic conditions. It is a naturally occurring precious metal, so it cannot be manufactured or duplicated in any way. This means that there will always be a high demand for gold. Using a bank, mint or gold dealer is the best way to buy gold. Remember to talk to a gold expert and ask questions before making an investment.
