Buying a Commodity like Gold Bullion

When considering purchasing precious metals like Gold, you are buying into a physical asset. Prudent investors use precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium to balance their investment portfolio against underperforming equities, inflation, and as a hedge against the devaluation of the dollar during periods of economic uncertainty. In recent years we have seen increasing portfolio diversification towards tangible assets such as precious metals. In fact, many portfolio managers suggest that a well diversified portfolio should contain at least 5-15% of physical precious metals.
