You can't predict when the price of precious metals will go up or down.

Several indications signal an increased cost of precious metals. Inflation is soaring; the Federal Reserve plans to raise interest rates three times this year. The dollar has fallen against major rivals such as the Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, and the euro. Staggering losses in stock markets have depressed commodity prices. And the European Central Bank is preparing to cut its key lending rate. Collectively, these developments suggest that precious metals supply could soon soar.

Can we talk for a moment?

If you want to make money by trading gold at its current low price, you'll probably need to take some risks. However, if you wait too long, you may end up making less money than you would have made had you bought when gold was cheaper.

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you should consider investing in gold.

If you buy now, you'll be able to save some money.

To avoid paying taxes on any gains from selling stocks when they reach their highest prices, you must buy them now.
