I trade gold and silver, and have been doing so for several years. I bought close to the bottom of each market and I've had success.
I'm going to tell you why I think it's a good idea to trade gold and silver. Lots of people may argue that it's dangerous, or that the window of opportunity has been and gone, but my experiences have taught me differently. In this article I'll tell you why. You can also download my free eBook by clicking the link on this page.
Gold is money. Silver is money. Being a professional Forex trader, I know a bit about money. I also know that today's flat currencies (by which I mean those not backed by tangible assets) are historical anomalies.
I've always believed that's important to be aware of history. That way, we can avoid the errors of the past. In the 1st Century AD, the Romans introduced a flat currency. This ended with devaluation and eventual collapse, of both the currency and the economy. Every flat system since then has gone the same way.
History gives me a lot of reasons to be fearful of the fate of flat currencies. This is why I'm so interested in the precious metals â€" I'd like an insurance policy against the economic disasters that have happened every time a flat currency has been created.
If you are looking for another reason to buy gold and silver, think about inflation. Gold and silver have made large gains for some years now, and this is mostly because of all the cash that UK, US and Euro Zone governments have been printing. The metals themselves haven't gained in value, but the currencies have been devalued.
So I can protect myself from inflation by investing in gold and silver.
