Has Gold Lost Its Shine and Should You Still Invest in Gold?

Feb. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- It’s hard to believe so when some of the smartest and wealthiest financial investors keep buying it.  George Soros has recently up his stake to another 600 million dollar investment in gold based on a recent SEC filing.  Continue concerns of the Federal Reserve printing Dollars, trillion dollar deficits with China and Japan and trade tensions between China and USA are derailing the faith of the US dollar.

Gold being a tangible asset not a paper one is considered to be valuable in times of declining paper assets.

How to trade gold?

Exchange traded funds offer a way for investors to purchase shares without taking delivery on gold bullion.  There is no need to worry about storage.  You could sell these shares at another time back to the market place. Another way to invest in gold is to purchase call option contracts.  These financial instruments offer a tremendous amount of leverage with a limited risk.  Using the leverage is a way to maximize your returns.  Just like ETFS, there is no obligation to take delivery.  Acquiring a financial option specialist can help you trade gold option contracts.  HB Group can be very helpful with their experience and knowledge with these financial instruments.  You could visit them at www.hbgroupintl.com

Multibillion dollar investments are being made in gold today.  Only one could think that the prices are still relatively low.  Most investment portfolios do not have Gold in them.  With today’s investment gold rush, a shift of portfolio funds may cause prices to jump to $1300.
