Invest in Gold with IRA Financial Group
- Bitcoin and gold are two of the most popular financial assets in the world.
- Although there are similarities between the two, there are also important differences.
- Bitcoin is digital while gold is physical.
- Bitcoin's supply is managed autonomously, while gold's supply is controlled by central banks.
- Bitcoin is anonymous, while 99% of the world's gold supply can be traced.
Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency, is a digital form of money that exists in cyberspace as an encrypted string of 1s and 0s. Unlike traditional money, Bitcoin's supply is not controlled by any government, but by its network of users.
Gold, on the other hand, is a traditional form of money. It is also known as a barbarous relic and is valued for its scarcity, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
Gold is considered a safe haven asset. This means that in times of economic crisis, the price of gold tends to rise. In addition to its value as a store of value, gold is also widely used as money.

Your gold is held in an IRA-approved storage facility. You also have the option to enroll in a precious metals insurance policy to protect your gold.
Gold ETF
Precious metals are traditionally considered a safe haven for investors when the economy takes a turn for the worse. When uncertainty is in the air, investors flock to gold, which generally holds its value better than other commodities.
Gold prices move inversely to the U.S. dollar and when the U.S. dollar strengthens, gold prices fall. That makes them excellent hedges against inflation.
Gold ETF
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is an ETF that tracks the price of gold. With 26.9 million shares outstanding, the ETF has a market capitalization of $63.3 billion. The fund charges a 0.4% management fee and a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. It trades approximately 1.6 million shares per day on average.
The ETF's price follows a seasonal pattern, rising at the end of the year and falling around Easter. The ETF tends to remain under $100 until right before the Thanksgiving holiday, when it typically makes a sizable price surge. The ETF then falls back to $100 after the holidays.
Gold Stock
Gold stocks are an excellent way to invest in physical gold without having to actually buy physical gold. Gold stocks, like gold, are traded on the stock market, but investors can buy shares in mining companies, gold refineries, and gold bullion manufacturers.
