Blue Moon's Tips For Investing In Gold


 
• Manage your risk by becoming informed. A lot of first-time precious metals investors looking for tips for investing in gold forget the most obvious rule of investing in anything: the more you know, the better off you are.

If you're going to take the step of adding bullion to your investment portfolio, lean about what you're buying so you don't pay more than you need to -- and know what signs to look for to warn you if the market is likely to shift out of your favor.

• Deal with professionals. There's nothing more important in any precious metals or bullion coin transaction than the trust of the parties you're buying from -- and, eventually, selling to.

The dealer you're working with should have extensive experience working with bullion (check around), and should belong to the appropriate industry trade groups to ensure a rigid code of ethical behavior.

• Go slowly. There are sharks in every industry, people who will attempt to persuade you that there is no time to perform due diligence, that you must make the deal right there, right now.

Walk away from dealers who cold-call you, set up meetings in places like libraries or hotels, or who warn you their deals won't be there tomorrow. Buying or selling on impulse is the worst investment move you can make, and buying or selling gold bullion is no different; take your time, investigate the deal and the dealer until you feel completely comfortable with every aspect.
