Having a diverse portfolio is recommended for any level of investor. From the more novices to expert investors, gold is a great way to hedge against inflation and diversify.

For example, the top five countries in gold demands are India, Turkey, Italy, China and the US. Each of these countries have varied markets and thus make gold a good investment to protect against an otherwise shaky global market. Gold has been throughout centuries a solid investment option.

Gold Investment Rising This Year … Time To Buy Gold
Although 2009 was a slow year for investors looking for gold, an upward trend is expected this year. Experts recently warned that taking the marginal drop in physical holdings of the precious metal as signs of the end of an investment ‘love affair’ with gold, would be a wrong conclusion. Given the huge amount of money pumped into major global economies during the recession to increase spending, this year is likely to cause some financial instability across a number of economies.
In periods of economic struggle, investment in commodities like gold has become a popular strategy. During financial uncertainties, investors often add gold to their holdings since its relative stability can protect one from wealth erosion.

Gold Gains as Halt in Dollar Rally Ups Demand
Gold gained the most in a week as a halt in the dollar’s rally should increase demand for the metal as an alternative investment.
The U.S. Dollar Index fell to 0.4 percent after last week climbing to the highest level in almost seven months. Gold futures, which often move inversely to the dollar, slid 5.8 percent in three sessions to a three-month low recently.
“The dollar is down,” said Peter Fertig of Quantitative Commodity Research Ltd. in Hainburg, Germany. The metal’s sudden drop last week is seen as “a good indicator that prices may rise,” he said.

Gold Consolidates with Dollar
Gold is consolidating above its psychological $1050/oz area as activity in the FX markets cools down. Trichet attempted to calm investors this weekend at the G7 summit by implying that the ECB and EU have the situation under control.
Several statements from governmental representatives have appeared in the wires over the past couple days and it looks like policy makers are seeking to get negative psychological forces under control. The tactic has worked so far with the Cable, EUR/USD and AUD/USD all consolidating.

Golden Decade
In the next decade, no one can prevent the rise of gold. At least that’s what Owen Hegarty, an Australian expert in mineral resources, says.
He told a Chinese news agency that gold prices will remain on an upswing in a decade in spite of recent fluctuations. For the near future, or at least in this decade, he claims that there is every reason to buy gold. For more information, go to http://short.to/14taq
