Should I buy gold or silver for and investment?

At this time or in the future would Gold or Silver be a good investment against inflation?

again, as someone else already said... SLV is the place to be. invest in silver. read the articles at www.kitco.com

5 or 6 years ago you could have bought gold for under $350 an ounce. I don't see why $1,000 an ounce makes this a compelling buy right now. I sold all my gold stock a couple of weeks ago. Maybe not at the top, but close enough I think. Think about this for a moment. Of all the gold ever mined something north of 98% of it is still out there. In coins, bullion, industrial products which can be recycled, jewelry, etc. And every year they mine more and more gold. In essence, the supply of gold is continuously growing.

Now think of oil. We burn millions of barrels of it every day. New finds are harder and harder to come by. Those places where we know where it is are running out of it. Meanwhile the economies of China and India are growing like crazy. Most of those people are poor. Very few drive cars. But they are getting richer and beginning to buy more cars. And get nicer homes which will use oil and gas to fuel and heat them. You want an inflation hedge? Think oil. Maybe not as sexy as gold and certainly nothing you'd wear around your neck. But if you're in this for the money oil is the way to go. We will never run out of gold. You can't eat it or fuel your car or home with it. On the other hand, we will run out of oil and that last barrel will sell for a hell of a lot more than $100 or even $1,000.

Gold has gone parabolic, which means at some point it is likely to correct. However, if you are looking for an inflation hedge, it might work for the short-term. My fear is, however, that there is a lot of speculative money in gold, which means it is priced well above its fair value. Should the Federal Reserve stop cutting rates, gold will likely plateau, and when the Fed starts raising rates to fight inflation, the price of gold will fall as the speculative money exits. If you are looking solely for an inflation hedge, you may want to consider TIPS, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. These are government bonds whose price adjusts with the CPI to give you a constant, positive real rate of return after adjusting for inflation. However, in shedding the risk of taking on a negative real rate of return, you have to tolerate a lower rate of return, as there is no risk of a negative return on investment. I have included a link if you are interested. You could also invest in the DXDDX or the UDN, as inflation is typically caused by a weak dollar versus foreign currencies. Just a few options if you are skeptical of gold, I hope they help.

Best of luck!

Silver Eagles - Start Collecting Today

I started collecting silver eagles when they first came out. The price of silver is rising daily and if you are not collecting now, you will wish you had been. Only 4% of the population actually collect or invest in silver. With the falling dollar, you should be investing in metals. There are numerous reports on why you should be investing in metals and I will be posting a new hub on where to find this information.

I want to share an easy way to get started collecting silver eagles.

Gold is worth almost a $1000.00 per ounce, so it is a sellers market at the moment. Not a great time to buy for the short term investment, but it fluctuates constantly. Once people flood the market with gold, and the price drops, then it will be a great time to buy. The price will eventually go back up again.

Yes. I bought gold coins (American Eagles) last year when they were around $700, and now they are over $1000. I am keeping them until they are over $2000. The contemporary equivalent of the previous gold high would be over $2000 per ounce in today's money. Could be even more if there is a nice bubble as stocks, real estate and teh US dollar all continue to tank. Some analysts are predicting a high of $3000 but this seems too much to me.

However, the best investment always to pay off any high interest debt so if you have credit card balances, get rid of these first.

The most important thing is to educate yourself about money. There is so much free info on the Net - use it.

Both are good. Silver has more upside. Three of the best silver miners are SSRI, SLW, PAAS. The sliver ETF is SLV. The gold ETF is GLD

The two best dealers for buying gold and silver coins and bullion are www.tulving and www.golddealer.com
