The ABCs of Gold Investing: How to Protect and Build Your Wealth with Gold

by Michael J. Kosares

Beginning investors will find thorough guidelines for making good decisions in this guide to private gold ownership. Emphasis is placed on the asset-preservation qualities of gold at a time when investor uncertainty about the economy and recent investment scandals have led many to seek asset diversification. The economic and political trends driving gold marketing are detailed, as are the reasons why gold plays an important role in millions of investment portfolios worldwide—as both a hedge and an investment for capital gain. Topics examined include understanding gold's role in combating inflation and deflation, how to select a gold firm, the history of gold since 1971, storing gold, and government debt.

[Michael Hentrich · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was just reprinted earlier this year, making many of the issues in it very modern and relevant. I've never read about gold investing before now, but circumstances have led me to take a more serious look at this and other similar investments.

This book not only talks about the value of investing into gold, but it talks about the history of economies and why precious metals become a holder of value when governments and economies stray too far away from sound practices. This book was very straight-forward and easy to understand, and I'm glad that it was given to me to read. Even though I haven't read other books on gold investing, I think this is a great one to start with.

If you don't know anything about gold investing this book will help you. If you, for instance, are looking for guides to invest in gold through precious metals IRA companies then I would recommend you to read sites like http://goldiraforinvestors.com/

Good book for a novice interested in diversifying into gold. Very basic but comprehensive in terms of investment options.

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book that was good for the beginner. As for someone that actually owns Gold, it is a little basic.

Finally, I understand what my dad has been trying to explain to me for years. Interesting stuff. A little hokey, but it works for the material.
