Frequently Asked Questions
How Much of Your IRA Should Be Made Up Of Precious Metals
You should remember that precious metals are not only for the wealthy. It doesn't matter how rich you are to invest in precious metals. In fact, there are many ways to make money from gold and silver investments without spending much money.
You might also be interested in buying physical coins, such bullion rounds or bars. Also, you could buy shares in companies producing precious metals. Your retirement plan provider may offer an IRA rollingover program.
Regardless of your choice, you'll still benefit from owning precious metals. They offer the potential for long-term, sustainable growth even though they aren’t stocks.
Their prices are more volatile than traditional investments. If you decide to make a sale of your investment in the future, you will likely realize more profit than with traditional investments.
How much gold do you need in your portfolio?
The amount that you want to invest will dictate how much money it takes. You can start small by investing $5k-10k. As you grow, it is possible to rent desks or office space. So you don't have all the hassle of paying rent. It's only one monthly payment.
You also need to consider what type of business you will run. In my case, I am running a website creation company, so we charge clients around $1000-2000/month depending on what they order. Consider how much you expect to make from each client, if you decide to do this kinda thing.
You won't get a monthly paycheck if you work freelance. This is because freelancers are paid. So you might only get paid once every 6 months or so.
You need to determine what kind or income you want before you decide how much of it you will need.
I recommend starting with $1k-$2k in gold and working my way up.
What's the advantage of a Gold IRA?
A gold IRA has many benefits. It's an investment vehicle that allows you to diversify your portfolio. You decide how much money is put in each account and when it is withdrawn.
You also have the option to transfer funds from other retirement plans into a IRA. This makes for an easy transition if you decide to retire early.
The best part about gold IRAs? You don't have to be an expert. These IRAs are available at all banks and brokerage houses. Withdrawals can happen automatically, without any fees or penalties.
That said, there are drawbacks too. Gold is historically volatile. It's important to understand the reasons you're considering investing in gold. Do you want safety or growth? Is it for insurance purposes or a long-term strategy? Only after you have this information will you make an informed decision.
If you plan on keeping your gold IRA alive for a while, you may want to consider purchasing more than 1 ounce of pure gold. One ounce won't be enough to meet all your needs. You may need several ounces, depending on what you intend to do with your precious gold.
You don't have to buy a lot of gold if your goal is to sell it. Even a single ounce can suffice. These funds won't allow you to purchase anything else.
How much should precious metals make up your portfolio?
First, let's define precious metals to answer the question. Precious metals are those elements that have an extremely high value relative to other commodities. This makes them extremely valuable for trading and investing. Today, gold is the most commonly traded precious metal.
There are however many other types, including silver, and platinum. The price for gold is subject to fluctuations, but stays relatively stable in times of economic turmoil. It is also unaffected significantly by inflation and Deflation.
As a general rule, the prices for all precious metals tend to increase with the overall market. They do not always move in the same direction. If the economy is struggling, the gold price tends to rise, while the prices for other precious metals tends to fall. Investors are more likely to expect lower interest rates making bonds less attractive investments.
When the economy is healthy, however, the opposite effect occurs. Investors are more inclined to invest in safe assets, such as Treasury Bonds, and they will not demand precious metals. They are more rare, so they become more expensive and less valuable.
Diversifying across precious metals is a great way to maximize your investment returns. Because precious metals prices are subject to fluctuations, it is best to invest across multiple precious metal types, rather than focusing on one.
