Since the beginning of time, we were struggling for survival. Back in the stone age, we were organized in small groups that looked very much like our extended families, we were wandering, looking for food and shelter.
Something changed around 100.000 years ago, when humankind decided to form bigger and bigger groups of people, until the first cities were born. Like our cities, they were filled up with new opportunities as well as social injustice and a gap between rich and poor people. What made us give up our freedom? Of course, there are no documents from that time that could explain why we made that choice, but for sure we left a lot behind after that big step. And now it has become practically impossible to go back to what we could call our past Eden.
On the other hand, one thing is certain: our ancestors were pushed by fear — fear of instability. And aren't we all?
It seems reasonable to admit that not much has changed since then. We are still doing whatever is in our power to enjoy safety and security. But what do you usually do to reach Financial Security?
You accumulate money. Bad idea. Money loses value with time.
You put our money in the bank. Another bad idea. Of course, everyone needs some money on the bank card always available for the most urgent needs, but you do not reach Financial Security by letting the bank deal with your savings, because banks can go bankrupt, as it often happens, and the interests are ludicrously small: so small that they do not outweigh the toll inflation takes on your money. Therefore, it will still be subject to depreciation.
You work hard. Yes, that might work. But we also know very few employers pay fairly for all your efforts and sacrifices. Many people, in fact, are underpaid.
So, what do we suggest? Our suggestion: buy gold bars.
There are at least 10 good reasons why gold is the best asset we can think of. Let's state them one by one.
Unlike money, gold practically does not depreciate. History proves that national currencies come and go, while gold remains.
When inflation rises, gold gains value. The more value money loses, the more things you can buy with gold.
Gold is not something ephemeral: it is a tangible asset you really own. It is not a piece of paper, the value of which is purely hypothetical.
Gold is an internationally recognized financial tool successfully traded all over the world.
Gold can be converted into money quickly and easily if sold at a near-market price.
The more money governments print, the more it loses its value. Unfortunately or fortunately, gold cannot be printed. Gold is mined, and its production has been inexorably dropping in recent years. Reduction in the quantity of gold on the market only fuels its demand and, therefore, pushes its value up.
No matter what happens — be it war, natural cataclysm or economic crisis — gold, as opposed to money, stays relevant. For this reason, when a crisis is foreshadowed, gold demand quickly rises, increasing its value on the market.
Gold combines high value, portability and mobility. Several gold bars and coins worth thousands of dollars can easily fit in your pocket.
9. Substantial retirement asset
The political and economic situation in the world is unstable. There is no guarantee that your state will be able to fulfill its pension obligations in the future. Having your own gold reserve gives you a great advantage later in life!
Gold bars and coins are ideal for passing on to your relatives. Your descendants will undoubtedly benefit from acquiring such a valuable, timeless and highly liquid product.
Do you still have any reason to doubt that gold is the best preservation and accumulation tool, the quickest and safest way to reach Financial Security? Are there more reasons to think of this precious metal as the best financial asset? Let us know what you think. We value your ideas and suggestions.
