What are some of the benefits to owning gold?

A world-recognized asset
Gold is traded around the world on a 24-hour basis and is extremely
liquid, in most cases more liquid than stocks and other paper assets.

'Financial insurance' during a rough economy
A volatile stock market and a sluggish economy make gold investments even more important in a sound investment portfolio. Diversification into physical gold has a history of stabilizing an investment portfolio in uncertain times.

Protection from inflation
Central banks around the globe are engaged in a competitive devaluation
of currencies leaving investors at a loss as to how to protect their assets. Diversification into gold offers stability and peace of mind regardless of
how monetary policies influence the purchasing power of currencies.

Diversification in your investment portfolio
Throughout the course of history, all paper backed assets have eventually lost all of their purchasing power. Conversely, gold has maintained its value as a hard asset throughout every global economy with a track record dating back to the dawn of human civilization. Owning gold reduces currency and counter-party risk from an overall investment portfolio. Gold can even be owned within a tax-deferred account such as an IRA or 401K both tax and penalty free*. There may also be key tax benefits to owning gold coins when planning generational wealth preservation.
