How to Buy Gold in Five Easy Steps

Though the task for the newcomer may seem daunting and a bit confusing, a portfolio diversification into gold is really a very simple process that some tend to over-complicate. Having a good sense of what you want gold to accomplish for you is the first hurdle.

You can add gold to your portfolio today.

Essentially, there are three broad categories of gold investors:

1. Those who wish to hedge uncertainty and possible financial disaster

2. Those who wish to simply make a profit.

3. Those who wish to combine hedging with potential profit

Your objectives will determine what you include in your portfolio. Some thought and attention must be given to which of the three categories you belong, and making that determination will speed along the configuration process once you contact one of our brokers. 

Once you have a handle on why you are buying gold, deciding what to buy becomes a relatively easy process that can be sorted out between you and your broker at USAGOLD-Centennial Precious Metals. In The ABCs of Gold Investing: Protecting and Building Your Wealth with Gold, author Michael J. Kosares advises that you plan your portfolio in consultation with a gold market profressional. "Stock brokers, financial planners, mutual fund sales personnel, and the like," he says, "have little knowledge of this highly specialized field. As a result, they sometimes confuse more than help. . . Whether to preserve assets or to make a profit, plan carefully under the guidance of a gold professional."

Our experienced account representatives are well-versed in the four product categories mentioned above and the role each plays in the overall gold portfolio. In addition, each has many years experience matching the three client profiles immediately above with the proper portfolio mix.
