LONDON, 29 November 2010 - The world's most popular platform online for bullion gold ownership and trading, BullionVault features today in a report on investing outside the stock market from the Erickson Tribune, the printed and online news source for US citizens aged 65-plus.
"A share of stock can lose its value in an instant,? says the Tribune, as many of us learned the hard way when the recession hit. But a bar of gold will always be worth something.
"Of course the value fluctuates, but the long-term investor can hold onto that physical asset [and] gold is traded 24 hours a day on an international market, which means investors can easily monitor the value of their investments."
Comparing physical gold's security with the peace-of-mind inherent in owning real estate outright, and noting how "Gold tends to mitigate risk and move in the opposite direction of the financial markets," the Erickson Tribune also looks at commodities and bonds, as well as gold held at BullionVault.
