With the volatility of stocks continuing, gold has outperformed the market over the last several years. Gold has been on a run over the past six months, reaching all time highs, and one wonders if now is the time to cut back on positions.

With the global economy being what it is, gold is now more than ever being looked upon as a safe investment. One of the reasons for this is because the value of gold has never plummeted to nothing, while we see how quickly stocks can lose their value. People who have already made the wise choice to invest in gold are probably feeling pretty good right now.

In this economy it can be extremely hard to make profitable choices when investing money. Finding an investment that is both safe and pays a decent return can be a confusing and tedious process, to say the least. Currently, interest on treasury bills and bank certificates of deposit is almost zero. Additionally, since in all technical terms our government is bankrupt, how safe is it to entrust your money to the government?

Gold can be a great alternative to stock investments since it has always shown a return, but you still need to invest wisely. Gold has seen its own share of drops in value over the years. Not even gold is 100% safe in this market, but it has always recovered.

Professional investors usually recommend you have a portion of your money in stocks, gold, and other investment vehicles so that your risk is spread out. This helps protect you from having too much in one thing and gives you diversity in case one of your investment choices goes down. Gold can be part of your portfolio, just not the whole thing!
