Gold Investing For Traders

By Mike Swanson

There are some investments that are right for certain times. But, gold is worth its weight. It has been a popular investment from the beginning of time. Of course, there must be good reason for it. That is why you should invest in gold using technical analysis. This is especially true in tumultuous times, like the recession.

Even real estate, which is a pretty solid investment, loses out in political unrest, war or any other instability that may arise. But, gold is a solid investment all around.

Most investors invest in gold for one of two reasons, and sometimes both: to profit from the rise in value or to maintain the value, which it has proven to do over the centuries. Revolutions, looting, wars, social unrest and other reasons encourage people to invest in gold because it ensures that it will keep its value, thereby help those investors save or make more money.

With that said, investors choose gold in both bear markets and bull markets. The latter is when investors start increasing their investments in hopes that they will gain as the market begins to recover. The former is when the markets start to decline and people begin to feel afraid of losses.

In 2008 the price of gold rose above one thousand dollars and has pretty much maintained its value in and around that price, even today. When interest rates are really low and putting money in the bank to earn very little interest, smarter investors opt for gold as well as commodities, which usually fare better than other types of investment.

With that said, if you have any money to invest, this market calls for the safety that gold has to offer. Of course, this is a bull market which could mean considerable gains to you. At worse, it could be just the safe haven you need. This recession proved to be very hard on a good majority of the American population who had placed their money in other investments. - 23217
