Investment risks

All investments involve risk – investing in gold and silver bullion coins, bars and rounds are no exception. The market for gold and silver bullion is speculative, highly volatile and subject to sharp price movements both upwards and downwards.  Investing in gold and silver bullion is considered a high risk investment that is not suitable for everyone. The spot price on the world market is affected by many economic and political factors as well as basic laws of supply and demand that can alter market sentiment overnight. Investors should have adequate cash reserves and disposable income before considering a gold or silver bullion investment. Be aware that just as the price trend of gold and silver bullion can appreciate for long periods of time it can also decline in value over long periods of time.
