5 important reasons why it's worth it now, sooner rather than later physical gold and silver to buy.
An investment tip, not just undecided precious metals investors. Despite the current high prices for gold and silver are a few important reasons why you should prefer planned purchases of precious metal if necessary.
Why buy now gold and silver?
first Course development
The performance of precious metals is in inverse proportion to the purchasing power of our currency. Paper money is in endless supply. And like the central banks within the last 40 years have made good use. The amount of available gold and silver, however, is of course limited. Layer on as much as mining companies get every year from the earth. Unlike endless supply of paper, book or deposit money, the metal resources but go slowly running out.
short While our money is always worth less (inflation), prices for gold and silver since the abandonment of the gold standard and the introduction of cover-free allowance to rise continuously. It will remain so as long as strict no return (quantity) to the real economic development coupled with an appropriate monetary policy is monetary system. Therefore have gold and silver prices (regular rates) until then necessarily continue to rise.
second VAT
currently falls toward the purchase of investment gold (gold coins and gold bars with less than 900 parts per thousand gold content) VAT. 7 percent for silver coins must be broken. Silver bars are already subject to the full VAT rate of 19 percent. Under the proposed tax reform could change this result at the expense of precious metals investors. The purchase of gold and silver bullion products could be so much more expensive.
third Withholding tax
The buying and selling of physical gold (and silver) is not subject to withholding tax. That is, after a holding period of one year, profits from such Edelmetall-Verkäufen steuerfrei. Auch hier ist eine Gesetzesänderung früher oder später nicht ausgeschlossen.
4. Geldwäschegesetz
Derzeit kann man physische Edelmetalle bis zu einem Rechnungswert von 15.000 Euro kaufen, ohne dass persönliche Daten dauerhaft gespeichert werden („Geldwäschegesetz“). Zahlreichen Anlegern ist es wichtig, Gold und Silber anonym kaufen zu können. Sollte nun der Gold- und Silberpreis im Zuge stark anziehender Inflationsraten ebenfalls deutlich steigen, dann ist zu bezweifeln, dass diese Wert-Grenze im gleichen Maße mit angehoben wird. Zumindest kurzzeitig wird man gegebenenfalls schon für kleine Edelmetallmengen registriert.
5. Lieferengpässe
Since the last shortage of supply of gold and silver investment products, it is clear that in Germany only takes a few days, until the precious metal dealers are purchased as part of a demand jump empty. By the end of 2008 there were not many investment products available for weeks. In May 2010 there was again a significant shortage of gold and silver. Read the Gold Reporter interview with the manufacturer Heraeus of 3 May 2010 ("In theory is not a bottleneck again ruled out") and the product of 7 May 2010 to the supply problems with coin Austria. Ergo: If all the gold and silver suddenly do no more material will be available.
Conclusion / Note
Sooner gold and silver now, than later. Because "later" it is probably much more expensive or even impossible to buy precious metals. Important: Never buy precious metals on credit. For the benefit of the precious metal property located precisely in the independence of the investment of other assets and the financial system in general. And: As in any market must be able to sit out even for gold and silver phases of price declines, in which they appropriate "book losses" suffered. It is important to keep the big picture in mind. We are concerned here long-term one and only is for the protection of assets!
