TIMELESS VALUE.
Good ol’ Gold
The advantages are unlike any other investment:
- Thousands of years has shown gold maintains purchasing power
- Shields you from loss by acting as a hedge against inflation
- Can be sold for cash or traded for goods
- Is portable, easy to store
- Is a private and confidential form of wealth
There is a reason why some of the Globes largest institutions, banks and private investors own and hold physical gold. Wisdom shows in times of uncertainty and crisis, diversifying into this monetary metal is “as good as gold.” Owning physical gold is one of the best strategies for long term wealth preservation.
Stack The Facts!
Timeless Value
Throughout history, no paper currency has survived the test of time like gold. The average lifespan of a currency is about 35 years. Eventually, all paper currencies become worthless. The reason this happens is because paper money (fiat currency) is not backed by anything and therefore has no limit on how much can be printed or digitally produced. Through extreme global currency surplus, we can see the death of our purchasing power – also known as inflation. The US dollar for example has declined by 98% since 1913! This is why it takes a much higher stack of cash to pay for goods and services today than 100 years ago. Those items are not more valuable, it is our currency that has depleted and continues to do so year after year.
Gold maintains purchasing power and hedges inflation creating timeless value. This reason is the driving force behind why people acquire physical gold into their portfolio.
Real Money
Although gold is not used as currency today, possession of this precious metal is superior to any currency for various reasons. Physical gold is real money and is not subject to the risks that occur with paper or digital currency. Gold will always have value because it is the only financial asset that is free from liability. This means it can not go bankrupt or default to zero.
At all times gold has represented real wealth and acted as a medium of exchange. There is a 3000 year track record to back it’s ‘real money’ status. One of the main reasons for its success is due to the fact that man can not create or print gold. The value of gold comes from the natural limits on its supply. Gold can be used to purchase nearly any good or service globally and is easily liquidated for cash when needed. Gold is the ultimate protection against economic uncertainty, vulnerability in the stock market, political overreach and offers liquidity, portability and confidentiality.
Spot Price
Spot price is the acknowledged base line for the market pricing of precious metals. This price constantly changes and does not factor in the actual costs associated with acquiring the metal in physical form. When gold is purchased the premium above spot price will reflect the process to mine, melt, mint, insure and ship the metal to the consumer.
Precious metals are sold for spot price which means these costs are not recuperated unless the spot price has exceeded the price paid for metal. This is important to know when acquiring physical precious metals. Spot prices are typically represented in USD however, PGS converts pricing to CAD for our Canadian clients. Bringing gold into your portfolio should be considered for mid to long term holdings to mitigate risk and capture investment potential.
