By: DailyWealth
Chris Weber writes: In all the years I've recommended owning precious metals, I've preferred people buy and store actual gold, silver, or platinum.

Gold Remains Firm on Geopolitical Risks and Fears of a 'Perfect Storm' / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold's safe haven qualities are again being seen after its higher close yesterday despite falling US equity indices and it remaining robust today (down 0.4% in USD terms) despite sharp falls in Asian and European indices. Some analysts are warning of a "perfect storm" that could again destabilise the global financial and economic system. While "perfect storm" talk may be hyperbole there can be little doubt that the many extreme headwinds have led to a degree of risk similar to that seen after the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

By: The_Gold_Report

By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The global gold market has always seen India as the largest individual source of demand for gold. It has reached 850 tonnes in the best years and even in the worst years has been over 300 tonnes. It has been possible to track the seasonality of this demand fairly easily during this time. This demand has been labeled as Jewelry demand, we believe wrongly.

While industrial uses comprise about half (53%, according to GFMS) of silver’s demand, making it susceptible to bigger falls than gold in a weak economy, it is equally clear silver also responds well to inflation, as well as serious financial “dislocations” (to put it nicely).
