Budget-conscious stackers would do well with copper. There will always be a market for copper.

Despite being one of the most dependable and valuable minerals, copper is a unique precious metal that investors generally ignore. Due to its industrial and commercial value, copper bullion has a specific value on the international market. Investing in copper, whether it's through copper rounds or bars, is a low-risk option that offers investors outstanding returns. ¹

A pretty pour!

We can guard against inflation on our investments in precious metals by diversifying our holdings. Diversification helps strengthen and protect your portfolio from the market. Generally speaking, most experts concur that investing in multiple metals is a smart move.

The demand for copper has surpassed the supply of copper in recent times. Compared to other metals, the price of this red metal is rising at the fastest rate. Although copper is less expensive than gold and silver, which makes it a low-risk investment, its value will probably rise over time as its demand grows.

@buggedout recently showed us a chart of silver and copper. You can check it out HERE. It shows a really spectacular rally of copper! He further concludes that "Copper and Silver are moving almost in tandem, which suggests to me that the recent rally in both these metals is less about Safe Haven and Monetary Metal demand and more about Inflation and Commodity demand." Chew on that!

Copper may be melted down and formed into bars, coins, and ingots just like other precious metals. Copper bars are available in a range of sizes and are often coined to high levels of purity. Generally speaking, the smaller bars are one ounce in size. Mints also generate 10-pound plus huge copper bars.

The US Mint controversially decided to switch from using copper to zinc for its coins in 1982. There are still private mints and precious metal dealers to provide investors with premium copper bullion. Some buy scrap copper, which is utilized by various producers. But I would buy pure, premium copper bullion.

Why do I buy copper?

For whatever reason, there are those who become seriously involved in collecting all the various designs; perhaps they just enjoy collecting them because they are appealing? Some collectors believe that copper is the final frontier and that if you buy now, you will get the best deal when prices rise the following day. Is it silly? It's not for me to answer, and I don't know. However, I will state that it is none of my concern whether or not you want to collect them.

I do buy copper.
