Gold as an investment
Due to the imminent inflation, buying gold has become a hot trend. Investors try thus to get their money into safety.
When it comes to gold, most investment specialists think bullish. Within the EU gold bars and coins for investment are free of VAT. Within the USA investors are taxed at 15, 23, 28 or 35 percent. Gold can be bought either in forms of physical gold (gold coins, bars) oder Exchange Tranded Founds/Certificates (ETF/ETC) that are backed with a special amount of gold. Xetra gold is a good choice. It is currently the most important ETF traded at the stock exchange. When buying certificates one should pay attention that it is backed sufficiently with gold, otherwise you will lose all your money when the bank goes bankrupt.The most famous gold coins for investment are Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, American Eagle and Silver Philharmonic.
If one thinks of gold, one might think of silver as an investment als well. But where is the difference? Whereas gold is mainly used for jewelry and as an investment, silver is primarily used and consumed by the industry. In times of a economic recession it is thus better to invest in gold instead of silver, as the latter is not needed for production. There are some other precious metals that might be worth a thought: Platinum, which is mainly used for jewelry and for catalyzers. Platinum, a very expensive precious metal, has raised its value in the years as for 1999 about 570%! Palladium is not as precious as gold. It is mainly used in the industry, for medical instruments and for the car industy. There is one famous coin which is completely made of palladium: The Palladium Maple Leaf that exists as for 2005 in a special limited edition. Other precious metals are normally not used as an investment.
What about diamonds? For a layperson it is normally quite hard to determine the value of a diamond. It depends mainly on four main criteria: color, cut, clarity and carat. There is no special diamond exchange market as for gold as every gem has a different value. Furthermore diamonds can be reproduced nowadays artificially and these artificial diamonds can hardly be distinguished from real diamonds.
How to sum this up? Diamonds are nice for jewelry, but not appropriate as a investment. To get your money into safety, one should buy gold (or silver).

Powell Custom Series Flute Headjoints Sterling Silver Philharmonic $1420 MATERIALSSterling Silver has long been acoustically preferred for its flexibility, wide range of colors, and resonant sound.Aurumite is a patented process that creates tubing made from interlocking layers of gold and silver. This unique material combines the projection of silver with the warmth of gold.HEADJOINTSPhilharmonic - The Philharmonic is defined by its broader embouchure plate which make it the most resistant of the styles offered by Powell. Articulation is crisp and clean and this style is capable of broad dynamic and timbral ranges. A player can create a rich tone with extraordinary power and focus.Soloist - The soloist style was developed in collaboration with renowned flutist Ransom Wilson. The strength and flexibility of this headjoint allows the player to fill a hall or perform the quietist of passages easily, and with complete command. The embouchure plate - slightly more curved than the Philharmonic style - provides the player with quick articulation, while a new style of undercutting gives the headjoint a full range of colors.Venti - Powell worked with international flutist Paul Edmund-Davies to develop the Venti style headjoint. Mr. Edmund-Davies desired a headjoint that mirrored his experiences singing in a cathedral choir. The result is a headjoint that allows for excellent depth of sound through all three octaves and is especially resonant and free in the third octave. The pitch is stable thoughout the dynamic range, with a sound that is powerful without being wild or breaking up. |
