Gold and silver bullion prices continue to rise and buck the trend of conventional investment vehicles which are currency based or real estate based; however it is not difficult to understand why gold and silver bullion continues to rise in value.
Gold and silver bullion has long been the investment vehicle of choice for shrewd investors, but right now there are more and more investors coming into the gold and silver bullion investment market, simply because their investments in regular vehicles have seen a consistent downturn both real estate and more regular currency based investment vehicles.
Indeed, many investors are moving their IRA investments into gold silver IRA investments, and with the tax breaks available the returns are pro rata well above the returns of regular stock investment IRA's.
Gold and silver prices, especially the returns from gold and silver coins have seen a consistent rise over the past few years, and combined with devaluation in other areas of the markets and paper currencies open to manipulation, gold and silver bullion prices will always outperform other commodities.
Gold and silver bullion is by its very nature a scarce commodity because it is not available in large quantities in nature, and where it is to be found it is usually difficult to extract, and sometimes at a high cost to the environment.
Over time the price of gold and silver is directly proportionate inversely to the US dollar value, and because gold and silver prices the world over are quoted in dollars there will always be an upward progression of bullion prices caused by the inflationary external pressure forcing the dollar downwards.
Because the dollar is subject to many external forces and with speculators around every corner waiting to pounce there is always going to be an inherent weakness built into the dollar and all other paper currencies that will never usurp gold and silver bullion as the safest investment vehicle, as bears witness several thousand years of safe haven investing.
There is an imminent and looming inflationary cycle which has already commenced and is going to become worse before it gets better, and shrewd investors should now think very seriously about moving as much wealth as is possible over to gold and silver bullion.
Gold and silver prices are intrinsically bound together, and when one raises the other follows, and always in inverse correlation to the dollar and market movements.
