GSI Exchange Publishes Gold and Silver Investors Power Guide

GSI Exchange, a leading coin dealer and precious metals investment services company based in Calabasas, California, specializing in wholesale gold and silver trading as well as direct sales to the general public, recently published a free Gold and Silver Investors Power Guide for new and experienced investors looking to understand how precious metals can help diversify their investment portfolio.

The free Gold and Silver Investors Power Guide is available at https://gsiexchange.com/freebook and is required reading for anyone considering investing in silver, gold, palladium and platinum coins or bullion.

2016 has been an outstanding year for precious metals investors. Gold is the best-performing investment asset for the year, gaining 16 percent year to date and beating the returns on high-yield and investment grade bonds, treasuries, all currencies and major stock indexes in developing countries and emerging markets. Concern about slowing growth globally, especially China, uncertainty regarding interest rates in the United States and stock market volatility have resulted in increased interest in gold as a safe haven for investors, and in February, gold delivered its strongest monthly return in four years with a gain of 10 percent for the month.

"We are seeing a surge of interest in our recently published Gold and Silver Investors Power Guide and we have welcomed many new precious metals investors over the past several months, especially by older investors seeking greater control over their retirement assets by choosing a Physical Possession Individual Retirement Account (IRA) that includes gold, silver, platinum, etc." says Anthony Allen Anderson, Senior Partner, GSI Exchange. Anderson is an associate member of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA), a life member with the American Numismatic Association (ANA), a certified dealer with Professional Coin Grading Systems (PCGS), and Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and a leading expert on coin and precious metal investing.

There are several different ways to invest in precious metals. Investors can purchase stocks, mutual funds or exchange traded funds, coins and bullion. Bullion coins are minted from precious metal, usually gold or silver, and bought for investment purposes direct from the mint, second-hand coin dealers, and certified precious metal dealers. Their value is based on their gold or silver bullion content. Prices fluctuate daily, depending on the price of gold and silver in the global commodities markets.

Perhaps the most popular bullion coins are the American Gold Eagle, the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Austrian Philharmonic, and the South African Krugerrand. "For precious metals investors, limited strike coinage presents a particularly attractive opportunity right now," explains Anderson, "these coins are an excellent long-term store of value because of their relative scarcity, helping to protect a financial portfolio from volatility in the bullion market and economic uncertainty, while giving serious medium- and long-term investors the potential for significant appreciation over time."
