According to CNBC\u2019s All-America Economic Survey investing in gold is a top pick of many Americans.\u00a0 According to the survey investing in gold was the top pick for 35% of respondents, over real estate at 27% and stocks at 21%.\u00a0 This is in spite of the fact that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 Index are back on track and hitting record highs.<\/p>\n

Those polled are still unsure about investing in the stock market and view gold as a safer alternative.\u00a0 Of those that responded 21% said they were sure it was a good time to invest in the stock market.\u00a0 This is however an increase from the previous year at 9%.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons that people like to invest in gold.\u00a0 One of them being that it is a commodity, something you can touch and hold.\u00a0 People have used gold as currency for thousands of years and with economic uncertainty people tend to cling to things they are sure of \u2013 gold being one of them.\u00a0 The reason the cost of gold continues to go up is that the demand isn\u2019t going down.\u00a0 Gold is still used in jewelry, electronic devices, piping, and more.\u00a0 As precious metals are used in new electronic devices the demand will continue to rise.<\/p>\n

Gold is a long term investment.\u00a0 It is something that you purchase and hold on to, selling after years of accumulation.\u00a0 Many people are investing in gold to use during their retirement.\u00a0 The gains may not be astronomical but they are steady and can help to balance some of the risk from other investments.\u00a0 Many people view gold as \u201csafe money\u201d.\u00a0 It is safe because it doesn\u2019t depend on a particular currency or economic conditions.\u00a0 It will hold steady, at least traditionally.<\/p>\n

Those that invest in gold should also consider allocating a portion of their portfolio into other investments.\u00a0 Whether investing in the stock market, private placement memorandums, crowdfunding, or as an angel investor<\/a> \u2013 include some higher risk\/higher payout investments in your portfolio.\u00a0 Use gold as a way to even out your investment portfolio and act as safety net.\u00a0 Investing in gold alone is typically not a sound strategy for retirement planning.\u00a0 As with any portfolio, a gold only retirement plan may not deliver the results you are looking for.\u00a0 A seasoned financial adviser can help you to decide how much money to allocate towards specific investment categories.\u00a0 In the meantime go buy some gold and enjoy wearing your investment.\u00a0 It\u2019s a lot more fun than carrying around a stock certificate.<\/p>\n
