Risks of Buying Gold

By: Luat Tran Van

In any financial institute there are three major risks
in business: a risk that those who owe you money (debtors) will not
pay you back, a risk that your inventory can't be sold for lack of
buyers and that the price of your inventory is lowered by market
factors (a good example will be when some computer stores bought too
many Ipods when they first came out, to find out later in the months
that Apple is coming with a better Ipod at a cheaper price).

The first risk is impossible to find in the gold industry because
like many natural resources they are not body's liabilities. Gold
can't be affected by inflation or the domestic countries' economic
and/or political policies.

Let's jump to the lack of buyer's risk. Gold has an international
market with variety of buyers, institutions, jewelers, coins, bars,
certificates, structured products and exchange-traded funds are some
ways of how you can sell your gold. The risk of not having a buyer
for your gold is pretty slim.

The only important risk that might affect buying gold is the market
risk (price is lowered by other market factors). As we all have seen
in the past, for example in 1980s when the gold price declined
sharply.
