Gold Investment

Since centuries ago many people investing in Gold or saving assets of their wealth in the form of these metals. Why? Since this precious yellow metal is everybody’s dream due to its uniqueness: a blend of beauty, rarity, and its weathered and of course barely cracked in time.

Gold also has been used as a reserve of wealth and means of exchange in the community. The people generally want to own gold as insurance against things that are not unexpected in lieu of cash.

Even a few years back gold was regarded as an asset that should be owned by investors as part of their portfolio. Gold Investment may be intangible in the form of gold bullion, gold leaf, shares in gold companies, gold investment company, letters of gold futures and gold options.

You should know that the monetary authorities such as the Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has long used its wealth of gold as a reserve. What are the implications? The public would be confident knowing that Central Bank gold saving - an enduring asset and goods that tend not affected by inflation as cash.

Gold investment is still viable for the short term. The reason the world gold price is expected to level or price of 1550 U.S. dollars per troy ounce until the end of 2011. In this week's gold price trading gold on the world market of about 1475 U.S. dollars per troy ounce last month but only U.S. $ 1437.58 per troy ounce.

Initially, following the improving world economy, investors began to invest U.S. dollars, so that investment occur evenly between gold and stocks, which means the increase is linear when the U.S. has also been improved. But recent U.S. economic recovery is slow cause the value of the dollar down, so prices are soaring price of gold.

"In addition to the Libya crisis, the bargaining position of the U.S. dollar is still weak, so many turn to invest in gold. This condition coupled with China and India are aggressively buying gold," Kelvin Han prediction of ATPF Traders Academy after the seminar on gold investments, Saturday (9 / 4 / 2011).

Interestingly, this experts of investment from Singapore predicts, after the price of gold reached the top end of this year, the price will freefall. He even dared to predict the price dropped only worth 1200 U.S. dollars per troy ounce but will rise again. "When the price of 1200 U.S. dollars per troy ounce time to buy. Price then crept up and skyrocketed, could even exceed 1650 U.S. dollars only but can be up to 2,000 U.S. dollars per troy ounce for another year or 2012 so that benefit the investors," said Kelvin.

Since 2001, gold became one of investmnet products that deliver a positive return or result in any calendar year. A money USD 1 million invested 10 years ago when it will be worth more than $ 4 million. Meanwhile, if in the form of commodities will only generate USD 3.57 million, 2.68 million for oil and only $ 1.9 million in bonds

Gold can also be traded for profit so there is good gold spot market and futures. When we went to the bank or mortgage Islamic banks do exist "opportunity cost" of gold store. But cost savings is worth is far smaller than the average increase of gold each year. Opportunity cost of storing gold in the bank or mortgage Islamic banks could be considered much safer than you keep it in your own home.

But of course you are not advised to put 100% of your assets in gold investment or any investing portfolio of assets , it was not wise if you put all your eggs in one basket though gold prices tend to rise steadily from year to year.

Gold, Investing

Dare you to ask yourself " Am I already investing my money?". Some believes they already did it by saying that they saved their in bank, bought gold and had mutual fund allocation. For those of you who have the same investment I'm not judging you wrong for doing that, but if you ask me whether you are going to get rich by doing that I clearly state "Sorry You're Not Going to be rich".

saves to build asset

So why some experts suggest us doing those three kinds of investment? . Well you should see that in a whole perspective and this is my perspective of the whole idea. 

Gold and mutual fund are used as the financial planning instead of savings. Other kind of financial planning instead of savings could be other investment that mostly you would consume the whole of it after some years.

As the main invesment that you invest wisely is active asset. What is active asset? I think all of you were already famous with that words as Robert T Kiyosaki reclaimed the words as the major effect of achieving financial freedom. I could'nt agree more with Kiyosaki, active asset could deliver you regular income in years and raise your total capital modal as you put your investment on the right asset.

As you're neither Ivanka Trump nor Paris Hilton that were born with active asset already on their hand, you should save your money first to build the active asset. That is why you need to save that in gold or mutual fund  first that within some years you should start your goal to build your own assets.

So financial planning instead of savings are used as the ladder to reach the active asset, for example your goals is in property which is to have an  apartment of $750 Singapore dollar in Singapore, then you should start at least by seeking the down payment first maybe it that 3-4 years for you to disciplined yourself by continuously save your money to gold or mutual fund. Let's remember goal and discipline are the most important thing in investing.

Another way you could directly invest in stock, derivatives or discretionary fund as those investment could be start with less money. Warren Buffet did it huh.... As the most popular investment is investing on stocks, you could directly start by opening an account on securities firm. The choice are many as you could be trader or investor. if you choose to be a trader you should invest a lot of time to analyze information before you start to trade stocks. In case you prefer in the role as the investor you could do the stock pick and trade just one times to re balancing the portfolio.

Finally how long can you start your active asset from now?, it's up to you and your creation. Once again investing money wisely need goals and discipline. You must own active asset!!!

Commonly known commodity like oil, rice, cocoa, metals, and gold could be popular again for a while, as happened in case the stock markets around the world to give investors a poor return.

The rapid growth in populous countries like China and India and rising consumption in emerging markets also pushed the need for more oil, more coffee, more meat and more rice.

Commodities offer protection from inflation and chaos. Understandably, commodities are the major needs, anyone can not escape from it; so different from other assets such as stocks and bonds. Commodities also have a "form" so the concept of investment into it more easily understood most people. These are just some of the reasons why commodities are so attractive in the eyes of many investors.

Retail investors can invest into commodities through a variety of products such as commodity sector stocks, indices of commodities for investment, commodity index futures, commodity mutual funds, commodities and managed futures. Equity investments in companies that deal with commodities gives you exposure as you wish without buying commodity-related. But these products also expose you to the stock market turmoil. Derivatives such as managed futures suitable for protection (hedging) with little or no capital.

Most people think of oil right choice for investors who want to reap the benefits of strong economic growth period. But other oil investment products, such as oil futures or stocks of oil companies, need constant and careful supervision. Why? Partly because of the turmoil caused tremendous influence from various sources such as international institutions, politicians, and other interested groups.

Water-related industries, such as those responsible for providing drinking water and waste water processing services, including the world's largest industry. Now, with demand increased manifold, they intend to expand further.

Agricultural commodities-oil fared the same as suffering from the turmoil, considering agriculture including politically sensitive industries, plus the high sensitivity of the needs of food prices. Also, the accumulation of agricultural products commonly done during the inflation of food or a bad season. Therefore, if you need a tool of protection (hedging), agricultural products worth your consideration. Also if you are experienced investors who are willing to face a greater risk for greater potential returns.

Tips for Commodities Investors

1. Total capital, without any income. Since there are no dividends, investors see more stable income than capital growth in commodity investments.

2. The scarcity of commodities will still last long enough. Lack of investment in extraction, production, and transportation of commodities during this-until recently-restriction resulted in inventory, it also increases the price that has never happened before in various markets. Manufacturers recently reversed the trend is minimal investment, so keep in mind: it may take quite a while before supplies could offset the need.

3. Beware of speculators. During this bad reputation arising gejolaknya commodities and many speculators who intend to pursue an aggressive return. When prices in the cash market is lower than the prices in the commodity futures markets, speculation factor could be higher than the underlying needs. Know the risks before investing.

Before you ask yourself where to invest your money. You should define your goal first in investing money. Everyone has a different goal for the money they invest. But the most goal set up is to gain more capital. To make it easy to set up your goal, here are the 2 (two) major goals for investing money from my point of opinion.

1. To secure your capital (money) from depreciation;
2. To gain more capital

The goals will meet three categories of investment time, which are;
a. Short term (<1 year)
b. Middle term (3 - 5 years)
c. Long term (>5 years)

The combination goals and the investment time category you choose should reflect where you should invest your money later on.

I'll give you the combination and the place to invest in the next post.....
