In times when other investments may be highly volatile, the intrinsic value of precious metals bullion makes it attractive to investors.
(1888PressRelease) August 12, 2011 - MIAMI, FL - Precious metals bullion is a unique financial instrument. Precious metals have an intrinsic value and have been treasured and coveted by mankind for thousands of years for their rarity, beauty and functionality. While all government-backed currencies have, historically, eventually collapsed, gold and silver have been accepted for trading since the fourth millennium BC. Additionally, gold bullion is being stockpiled by the central banks of many disparate countries; there is a reason why governments choose to keep reserves of gold, they realize its ultimate value. Inflation or devaluation can wipe out the value of cash in a remarkably short time - ask anyone from Zimbabwe or Argentina for example - but gold holds its value and is often the standard against which other currencies are measured.
Currently there is a sense of panic in the air as fears rise about debt contagion in Europe and the US's credit status. Government austerity measures led to riots in Athens and London has had its own riots also, ostensibly due to unpopular cuts in government spending on welfare. Meanwhile there is news that France is joining the list of European countries to have debt issues. Arguably, the stock market may have overreacted to these events, nevertheless this reaction simply serves to remind us of the fickleness of the markets and how even a rumor can cause the value of stocks to tumble; gold, on the other hand, just goes up whenever stocks go down.
