Gold may also have a reputation as a "safe harbor": It is and remains a speculative investment. No one can predict how to develop the gold price. Buyers have no guarantee at least to seeing their paid money. Another drawback: Gold sheds no interest or dividends. It is a return only if investors can sell at a profit.



Investor confidence in gold crises. Gold is a safe investment but.

Gold inspires many investors. This has several reasons, for example, the value: In early September of this year cost an ounce of 1349 euros - about five times as much as ten years ago. Also put investors in times of crisis has always been gold. Gold finally lost its value never completely. Many a saver but seems to overestimate the stability of the precious metal - and to underestimate the risks. If you invest in coins or bars must look for when buying on gold content, weight and charges and to adjust to price and exchange rate fluctuations.


This is due to the price fluctuations not easy. Although the price of gold over the years climbed across the top. On 23 August of last year cost an impressive $ 1,912 an ounce - more than ever before. A short time later, the price slipped from clear slumped below the 1600 dollar mark. Similar can be repeated at any time. Investors should tighten for extreme price slide a lower limit. The gold price falls below this mark, he pulls the ripcord and sold.

When you fall in prices in the summer of 2011 arrived German savers away comparatively lightly. Gold is traded in dollars, basically. In dollar terms, the gold prices quoted. Last year the price of gold fell in dollars - the same time the dollar gained against the euro but sharply. Converted into euro, gold prices remained high. It can always go the other way around. The euro is rising, the gold investment by German investors automatically loses its value. The Stiftung Warentest recommends investors not dissolve safe investments to purchase gold. The proportion of the precious metal should not be more than ten percent of the total assets. Then, investors can collect value losses against income from safe income investments.

Who wants to invest in physical gold may choose between coins and bars. For beginners or major bullion gold bullion coins such as Krugerrand, Maple Leaf and Vienna Philharmonic are recommended. When buying bullion, they just need the proper fine gold content, the manufacturer, make the weight and the price. Investors should buy only bars with a fine gold content of 999.9, that of 99.99 percent. Gold lower quality can be difficult to sell again.
