Today, the practical value of gold lies in preserving the value of financial capital, both for individuals and for states.
In other words, gold means FINANCIAL SECURITY.
Throughout history, gold has proven to be the best protection in both periods of high inflation and deflation.
(Inflation represents a general rise in prices, resulting in a decrease in the value of money.)
(Deflation represents a reduction in the money supply, resulting in an increase in the value of money.)
FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE
A certain number of investors also use investment gold as a form of financial security for their future.
This trend is especially noticeable among middle-aged investors who want to increase their income after retirement.
These investors purchase investment gold in formats that match their financial capabilities.
Their strategy is that, once they retire, they will liquidate one small gold bar or gold coin each month in order to increase their income.
For this purpose, investors most commonly purchase gold bars weighing 10 grams, 20 grams, 1 ounce, and 50 grams.
