Gold Investment for Beginners

[00:01] gold. The video covers what gold investment is, why you should invest in gold, the different types of gold, and how to invest in gold, or rather, the methods of investing in gold that most people don't know about. So grab your coffee and let's get started! Simply put, my friend, investing in gold is about

[00:16] putting money in a container for two very important reasons: to preserve the value of your money and to increase its value over time. Additionally, gold is considered a safe haven during economic crises. In fact, this is something most people have known for thousands of years.

[00:31] Gold is known in religions as God's wealth on Earth, but unfortunately, it's not as well-known now, or the general public— ordinary people—doesn't realize the value of gold. Even those who do know don't treat gold in the same way. You'll find many people who are

[00:45] interested and motivated to save money (which is essentially just paper money) rather than invest in gold. Now, let's get to the second question. So why should you invest in gold? The answer to this question can be found in just four reasons. The first reason is its protection against inflation. This means

[01:01] that gold retains its value better than any other investment in the event of rising inflation, regardless of the country you live in. The second reason is that it's a safe haven during economic crises, which usually occur every 10 years in free-market economies. The third reason

[01:15] is diversification. For example, if you're an investor with multiple portfolios, it's best to include gold as part of your investments to spread the risk. It's the same idea as the saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." The last reason is liquidity, or ease of conversion. What I mean is

[01:30] that gold is very easy to convert to cash because it's very easy to buy and sell. This is due to the very high demand for it. For example, if you own an apartment worth a million dollars, it would be difficult to... It's very easy to find a buyer for it quickly, or even to sell parts

[01:44] of it. But if you have the same million dollars in gold, it's very easy to sell the gold or split it and sell a portion of it. my friend, gold comes in different types, and each type is different from the other. For example, there's 24-karat gold, which is

[02:01] 99% pure and is considered the purest gold. There's also 22-karat gold, which is 91.5% pure, but it's not widely available in Arab countries. You might find it more often in the

[02:13] Gulf countries. There's also 21-karat gold, Then there's 18-karat gold, which is 75% pure and is the most commonly used in jewelry making

[02:28] in less wealthy Arab countries. The remaining percentages vary in each country. The gold purities I mentioned are a mixture of different metals like copper and silver, and sometimes also nickel, platinum, and zinc. Now, let's talk about how to invest in gold, or what the investment methods are

[02:42] that most people don't know about. Before I tell you how, previous and upcoming videos, activate the bell icon, and like the video so it reaches as many people as possible and everyone can benefit. Now, back to how to invest in gold.

[02:56] Investment here is divided into four methods, and the first method is investing in physical gold. This includes gold bars, coins like the gold pound, and jewelry. So, if we assume you're going to buy gold bars, gold bars are 24-karat, and their advantage is the low

[03:10] manufacturing cost. If you don't know what manufacturing costs are, they are considered additional expenses added to the original price of gold. You can buy gold bars from as little as 1 gram. Now, if you're going to buy gold coins like The gold pound weighs 8 grams and has a purity of 91.5%, meaning it

[03:25] 's 21 karat. You can also buy coins starting from a quarter coin or a quarter pound. To find the best company in your country that sells gold bars or coins, all you have to do is go to Google and search for the top five gold bar companies in your country.

[03:41] However, if you're buying gold jewelry, as some people call it, or what's known as ornamental gold, I really don't recommend it at all as an investment. This is due to the high manufacturing costs, not to mention the possibility of it containing unnecessary stones that could negatively impact your

[03:56] resale value. The best strategy for profiting from gold is long-term holding. Simply put, hold your gold for a very long period, say 10 years or more, because gold prices tend to appreciate significantly in the long run. And regardless of

[04:10] whether you buy gold bars, ornamental gold, or... If you buy gold coins, you'll end up owning the physical gold, but that means you have a tangible asset that requires careful consideration for storage and protection. This is considered one of the drawbacks. Another way to invest in

[04:24] gold is through investment funds. These are funds traded on the stock exchange, allowing investors to invest in gold without directly purchasing gold or being responsible for its storage and security. This is done

[04:38] by issuing a certificate specifying the number of grams each investor owns in the fund. Investing in gold funds is considered a safe, long-term investment that also guarantees the investor's rights if they decide to withdraw from the fund. Generally,

[04:52] investing in these funds requires a financial brokerage firm, also known as a stockbrokerage company. A third method is buying shares in gold mining companies. All you need for this is an account with a brokerage firm.

[05:05] In the stock market, whether it's the local stock exchange in your country or the global stock exchange, you can identify companies specializing in gold mining and buy their shares. This type of investment benefits investors because these companies offer returns and profits to

[05:19] investors every year due to the gains they've made. You can also profit from buying and selling shares. If you want to learn more about stocks or the stock market, and I recommend you do this, you can watch my video on investing in stocks on my channel after you finish this video and

[05:33] subscribe to the channel. The fourth way to invest in gold is through savings accounts. These are bank accounts that allow you to invest and buy gold and save it in your account. However, don't expect this service to be available at all banks. If you have a bank account

[05:47] and want to invest in gold through the bank, you can contact the bank and ask them if they Also, find out about the service fees or all the associated fees. These are the four methods you can pay before doing anything, and each method has its

[06:00] advantages and disadvantages. You must choose the best method that suits your goal choose the best method that suits your goal and budget. That's all, bye.
