The Old Ways

Some times it is nice to do things the old ways. Making a cup of tea using a kettle on a stove. Buying something hand-made rather than knocked out from a factory. This is a fact that is also true when it comes to investments.

You can buy gold coins with the United States Gold Bureau as an investment. Obviously, it's not just gold, of course, there are other precious metals to invest in, but gold is the one with the most history. You buy the metal and can have it delivered if you have the secure storage or have it kept in an independent bank or depository. Then your money is invested in a solid, physical asset.

Buying gold has been the way to invest for centuries, if not longer. It worked back then and it is working now. In part, it is because of the recession. During times of economic failure investors get scared about putting their wealth into companies that could collapse if the companies they do business with collapse. One large business failure can have a knock on effect. But a bar of gold will always be a bar of gold, and that level of stability is what attracts the nervous investors.
