Wise investors know that now is the best time to consider investing in silver and gold. The dollar, and therefore interest, is falling, and as the Federal Reserve and Central banks print more and more money, big moves higher are expected in these safe-haven assets. Gold and silver are considered safe-haven assets because they diversify an investor’s portfolio and are bought and held during periods of uncertainty as they are assumed to be less risky, and are often beneficial in times of market volatility.
While industry experts often warn against investing in these safe-haven assets because they do not pay dividends or perform historically as well when compared to the stock market overall, buying gold and silver could prove to be a solid, rewarding investment over the next several years. So why should you buy gold and silver? Although these precious metals may not provide any yield, when yield from other assets drop, investors who are searching for the stores of wealth they need know that gold and silver are a very attractive option.
And that’s exactly what is happening now—according to a report by Bloomberg2, the global stock of negative-yielding government bonds has reached over $17 trillion. Japan and Europe are largely responsible for this, making investors so nervous about their economic prospects that they are now willing to invest more than two times the face value of bonds just to safeguard their money. The other considerable implication of this for investors is that these existing notes are not providing the valuable residual income they need. This is when smart investors turn to precious metals like safe-haven gold and silver.
Investing in silver and gold has always been a wise decision, but the recent gains being made with both of these precious metals makes it a better time than ever to add them to your portfolio.
