How to invest in gold

One of the most famous events in the gold market was its run to $850/oz back in 1980.
Almost three decades later, gold finally made a new all time high, but it was an all-time high in nominal terms. Adjusted for inflation, we’re still nowhere close to what we saw in 1980.That being said, it’s important to keep in mind that the 1980 peak was a speculative bubble and comparing today’s price, in either real or nominal terms, to that speculative peak is nearly worthless.

It’s like saying that home prices can go up another 100% from here because that’s where prices were in 2005. Or like arguing that JDS Uniphase stock could go back to $1,000 per share because that’s where it was trading during the heights of the dot-com bubble. We might still be a long way from the real highs in the gold market, but there are much better theses on which to base a bullish case for gold.

Keep your eye on both the investing public for hints at speculative demand and the Federal Reserve for guidance on monetary policy. If investors around the world do start really speculating on gold, you can see from that chart how high it might go. There have been an awful lot of great bull markets in history that have ended in speculative frenzies. But should the Fed start taking some of these dollars out of the system and tightening up monetary policy to bolster the strength of the dollar, it would very likely be very bad for gold.

Motorola Droid

Motorola Inc's new Droid phone will be the first to use navigation software from Google Inc, in a direct challenge to GPS device makers Garmin and TomTom.The Droid will go on sale on November 6 at Verizon Wireless, the largest US mobile service provider, which said it will promote the phone with its biggest marketing campaign ever. It will cost $199 for customers who commit to a two-year service contract, Verizon Wireless said.Shares of TomTom fell 19 percent, extending their losses after the Dutch navigation device maker said that economic weakness was making holiday sales tough to predict. Garmin shares fell 12 percent.The Droid, which includes a computer-like keyboard and a new version of Google's software, Android 2.0, will also compete against Apple Inc's iPhone which is available on AT&T Inc's network in the United States.Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer John Stratton said he believed the Droid would hold its own against the iPhone, even as he conceded that Apple had revolutionised the smartphone industry."We have to demystify the notion that (iPhone's) untouchable," Stratton told reporters at the launch event in New York. "This product can stand up and compete."Google said Android 2.0 would include a Google Maps Navigation product with real-time, turn-by-turn walking or driving directions.

Investing money in Gold is good or bad????

Throughout the ages, many things have been used as currency: livestock, grains, spices, shells, beads, and now paper. But only two things have ever been money: gold and silver. When paper money becomes too abundant, and thus loses its value, man always turns back to precious metals and investing money in gold and silver. During these times there is always an enormous wealth transfer, and it is within your power to transfer that wealth away from you or toward you.For thousands of years, gold and other precious metals have served as stores of value. Amazingly, while all other currencies have come and gone over time, the real value of gold over several millenia has endured. You can buy about as much for an ounce of gold today as you could in Roman times. Gold became a favorite investment vehicle back in the mid to late 1970s, when high oil prices and high inflation took a toll on the economy, forcing investors to look elsewhere for good inflation-adjusted returns.Investing in actual gold coins and gold bullion is not easy. First, you face buy and sell spreads whenever you trade, eating into your potential profits. Secondly, and perhaps most seriously, you face the risk of theft or loss if you hold actual coins.One of the leading gold mining company is Monex that provides you US gold coins.

Gold has become an essential part of a sensible investment portfolio, and many investors buy gold for their investment,being seen as a safe haven while stock markets fluctuate. It's also become a hedge against currency uncertainty and a standard recommendation for long-term planning, such as pension plans, because of its perceived secure nature.With predictions that the yellow metal could soar again to as much as $2,500 (£1,650) an ounce (currently $910) it can look attractive. And fans point to the tremendous returns it has offered in recent years. Its price has climbed 140 per cent over the last five years, although it is only up 3.2 per cent over the past 12 months.However, the price of gold can move significantly and therefore short-term investors can still make a profit - or more importantly - a loss from investing in gold and should not treat it as the safe haven it is often described.
