A bullion may be the answer to a falling dollar. A gold bullion will be a visible hedge and become more valuable than paper money. Given that we have a Federal Reserve that seems content to print paper money mostly to benefit wealthy benefactors, the “buy bullion” mantra may be becoming in vogue.
Gold is and has been the method of exchange for many millennia. Given that gold is a desirable substance that time has proven has staying power, one cannot but expect it to be the “currency” of refuge. It is for this reason that interest in this metal is strong. Given the fear of the ultimate collapse of the world currencies the buy gold bullion movement is now.
Protecting one’s nest egg is another concern that may be mitigated with a gold IRA that might be a good hedge to a fund biased to bonds and dollar affected stocks. Care must be take however to ensure that one’s portfolio is sufficiently biased in the event that there are wild fluctuations in the gold exchange market.
