Why own physical silver or gold? Protect & accumulate wealth

Many people have asked me why should they own physical stocks, instead of just CFD or paper certificate silver or paper gold?

For many  investors, they may choose to hold a portion of their investments in gold and silver to hedge against inflation and economic black swan events. To hold precious metals as a hedge, there are a huge variety of choices – Gold, Silver ETFs, stocks holdings of mining companies and paper certificates.. So why own physical silver or gold?

Do remember that all paper assets are at the mercy of the financial market. Paper records can be varnished in a disaster, either man-made or natural. Financial markets turmoils in a black swan event can rendered you asset-less.
Only physical gold / silver bars or coins that you possess guarantees ownerships.

By investing in physical stocks, you would also have a better saving habit due to human psychological emotions. – You would be much more reluctant to return your physical silver bars or coins than it is to click on “sell” on your paper certificates.

Buying physical gold / silver bullion or coin is also amazingly easy.

There is no need to set up brokerage account, no need to sign any documents. You can just walk into any jewellery or coin/bullion shops, though you would have to pay a slight premium. An easier way is to buy online fromwww.goldsilvercity.com.sg which provides free delivery as well. You would be paying lesser because the online business has no expensive rentals. Every dollar saved goes to your peaceful retirement account!

Large bullions like 1 kg silver bar is more value for money. However you may consider smaller coins or bars, such as 10-ounce coins. A large collection of smaller coins or bars is easier for you to only sell a few coins to meet your needs, such as for a travel holiday, a business expansion, instead of having to sell the whole kilogram of silver or gold.

It is also more sensible to collect silver, as silver is more affordable and easier to collect monthly as a saving plan. As an investment asset, it is comparable in terms of liquidity, long term value, and has great fundamental demands in industries.

When you fall in love with gold, silver collection, you may move to numismatic collections, appreciating the artistic and beautiful designs on coins! There are many reasons to why own physical silver or gold, but one of the best reason is probably this:- it can be a great hobby for many collectors. Collectors know that many of their collections appreciate in values, and could be a lot more financial rewarding than other expensive hobbies.
