Gold
Gold has been a symbol of power and wealth and a store of value since the beginning of time. For about 3000 years, Gold served mankind as money and then, with the introduction of paper currency, it was adopted as a monetary reserve medium. Yet the fact that this metal has now been distanced from its role from the international monetary system has done nothing to diminish its mystique and popularity. To many investors, gold is the only Honest Money inexistence today.
Virtually indestructible, Gold is an asset class that is durable & highly liquid. The economic forces that determine the price of Gold are different from the economic forces that govern other asset classes such as equities or bonds. Given its low correlation with other asset classes, Gold served as the most optimum potential safe haven from uncertainties of economic events, political unrest and high inflation.
Investment into Gold offers investors an attractive opportunity to diversify their portfolio potentially reducing overall portfolio risk and ultimately portfolio wealth.
Silver
Silver‘s value as a precious metal of choice was long considered only second to Gold. Silver is a luxury item being purchased by customers for it uses in jewelry and silverware. A hybrid between an industrial and precious metal, Silver is also being used in various ranges of manufactures products like cameras, hearing aids, calculators and other electronic products. Silver consumption has outpaces new production in recent years. This probably cannot occur forever without demand for Silver falling or production supplies and prices rising.
Platinum
Platinum, the noble metal, is the most popular of six metals collectively known as the platinum group metals (PGMs). The others include palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium. These metals share many physical, chemical, and electrical properties. Platinum is used in a wide range of applications. The major use at present is auto catalysts. It is also used as a catalyst in the refining of crude oil into its constituent products. Platinum is also popularly used in jewelry, especially in Japan.
Palladium
Palladium, the sister metal of Platinum, is used along side many applications with Platinum. The largest use of Palladium today is in catalytic converters. Much research is in the progress of discovering ways to replace the much more expensive Platinum with Palladium in this application. Palladium is one of the two metals which can be alloyed with Gold to produce white gold as jewelry. Palladium is also being used in electronic connectors and semiconductors.
