Investing In Precious Metals

Precious metals earn their precious description because they are rare and

in finite supply. There is only so much gold or silver. Harvesting silver,

gold, palladium and other precious metals is a very expensive endeavor.

This is one of the reasons that precious metals are expensive when

compared to other naturally occurring metals which are in greater supply,

are easier to harvest, and are not deemed to be as valuable because of

supply and demand.

Unlike company stock or government-backed currency, there is a limited

amount of each precious metal. This is what has made these metals such

a great investment over time. If you purchase company stock, that

company may at any time begin buying back its shares. This usually drives

up the stock price, because there are fewer shares available to the

public. The company may do the opposite, and issue more shares. This

can drive the share price down.

In both of those situations, you have no control over the amount of stock

which will be available to investors from one day to the next. The same is

true with government-backed currency. Every time your government

issues more currency, the value of the money you hold drops. This brings

to light one principal factor which drives the price of precious metals ...

they are in rare supply, and there is a finite amount of them.
