So, you’re thinking of investing in Gold? The first question to answer is just how much should you have? The traditional answer has been 5% to 15% or so of your personal net worth. However, the true answer is that it all depends on the nature of the rest of your portfolio. If this contains investments in natural resources (which will also increase in nominal value as the intrinsic value of money declines), 5% may be sufficient. Marc Faber, editor of the Doom, Boom and Gloom Report, who is also an extremely knowledgeable and astute investor, suggests that 20% in gold bullion related investments is more appropriate, if the rest of your portfolio consists of paper assets only. Then you need to determine the form of Gold you wish to purchase for there are many. And each form or method comes with it’s own pros and cons. However first and foremost we would highly recommend that you have a percentage of your portfolio in physical bullion in the form of gold bars and gold coins as absolute insurance.
