I believe this is the right time to invest in physical gold bullion

Wow!! What a rocky few weeks we’ve had at the start of 2013.

What with currency doing a song and dance, and gold going up and down, I believe this is the perfect time to boost your physical gold holdings.

Are you nervous? Are you worried? Do you think that possibly the currency we use today may soon come to an end? Well you aren’t alone. Now I’m not saying this is the case, but looking at the habits of some of my clients, it seems they are stock pilling physical gold. They are taking the view that now the UK has been downgraded from a AAA to a Aa1 rated economy (I think thats correct), that the safest form of currency, one which can easily been transported internationally, and one that can be kept secure in a locked safety deposit box in a bank for a relatively small annual fee, and still the safest way to keep “cash”, is to buy gold investment ingots, coins and/or bars.

Now I am not a financial advisor, however looking at the facts, and having spoken to Sarah Bowles, who is a highly regarded IFA (independent financial advisor) for MAC financial in London, We can see that there is a trend happening and we would recommend people buy physical gold now. Look at the facts. It seems we are a nation of sheep. When one person shouts to do something we all follow. Back in the summer of 2011 our economy was doing terribly and the price of gold was rising. People panicked and started buying gold. This led to the price increasing and as a result we hit an all time high. As I mentioned, we have been downgraded, gold is priced lower at the moment, I believe the price can only increase medium to long term. Do I believe gold is a bargain? Yes. Do I recommend you should buy some and put it away? Yes.

I have written in the past a few blogs on the topic of gold, here they are should you want to dip your toe in. Topics include making gold investment simple, The benefits of gold and why buy it, and another is what are typical gold bullion bars? As always should you want to purchase any physical gold, then please contact me. And should you want any financial advice from a registered IFA, then please contact Sarah, she would be delighted to meet up with you and assist. Of course let’s not forget that one of the main attractions of physical investment gold bullion bars is the fact there is no VAT to pay.

Facts

• The size of the ingots for its worth is very small. 
• You are purchasing a weight of gold, not a size of ingot. Different manufacurers shape their ingots differently. 
• All bars weighing 250 grams and over have an individual serial number.
• All ingots are in a sealed plastic casing to avoid the bar being rubbed down and thus lose weight. 
• You only need the smallest safe deposit box for storing these. 
• The purity of an investment ingot bullion bar is 999.9% gold.
