Gold and Silver
Nowhere is change more prevalent and pronounced than in the world's financial markets. Prices on stock and bond markets and commodity exchanges can and do change throughout each trading day. Periodically, these changes are quite dramatic, resulting from volatile and unpredictable market conditions. At such times, a diversified investment portfolio may help protect an investor from the full effect of unanticipated and potentially disastrous market movements such as a stock market crash. Because of this, investors in mass have been hedging themselves by purchasing Gold and Silver.
Although Gold has recently hit record highs, the current global climate suggests that there is still room for manoeuvre in the Gold market.
Silver on the other hand, has a long way to appreciate to go close to its record high of $50 per ounce. This is despite an incredibly good performance over the last four to five years.
