Investing in precious metals

While I would love to be able to travel around Alaska this summer collecting gold for my retirement fund, I think that it would be a lot more realistic to buy gold and other precious metals from the Monex Deposit Company for investment.

I have been looking into IRAs and other investments, including buying precious metals such as gold and silver. It can be risky, given the fact that the price of precious metals can go down just as easily as they can go up, but over the past ten years both gold and silver have both shown a significant increase in value.

Given the tendency of the price of precious metals to go both up and down in value, it is important to work with someone that understands the market - such as the hard asset professionals at a company such as Monex. When looking at the long term, 10 year, closing values for gold and silver, I think that investing in precious metals is one of the better investment opportunities that I have for saving for my retirement. In the short term the price can drop, but in the long term it can equate to a fairly good investment opportunity.

The Monex website has information on precious metal investing, including graphs that show you the historical daily closing prices of the different kinds of precious metals that are available from the Monex Deposit Company.
