I have always been attracted to gold because it evokes a desire to save and minimizes my desire to spend my money. Taking possession of gold can be a very emotional experience while selling it can be emotionally hurtful.
The fact that gold has this characteristic separates it from other assets that money can purchase.
Paper currency is easier to part with, and paying with a check is much easier. A credit card swipe is even easier. However, parting with an ounce of gold can be painful.
When I pick up this gold, a humbling feeling creep over me. It is an attractive piece, and I am taken up by its beauty. I am amazed at the details of Saint Gaudens' design of the Standing Liberty.
Gold must be the most beautiful metal in the world.
There is so much history in gold. It has always been and continuously used as a store of wealth... for centuries. Gold has been remarkably stable compared to others as a store of value.
It's valuable, and people desire it.
Its true value is understated, and gold is forever wealth. It is not the common man who could afford it... but you and I can!
Let's take advantage of it while we can... accumulate some of this forever wealth.
I post an article daily, and I hope to see you again soon!
