As is often the case with Chiropractic Center ioned officers. e, By TOM BUSSELBERG Alpine them give Paul is also a wrestler for the ounce for the first time ever last month, some people began asking about buying it as a hedge against Thats risky. that All glitters doesnt make a sound investment. Its speculation. . -- very disturbing for people who like to sleep nights. What goes up must sometime come down. When the downswing occurs suddenly, you may be stuck. When you move up to gold bullion, youre moving up to medium-sizepurchases, although the cash required can be quite substantial. d Bullion usually made available stock brokerage houses or througn bullion dealers. Brokers have different minimum purchase requirements for bullion. As an example, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith offer a bar, about 35 ounces, as the smallest quantity you can buy. So you can see, depending on the current price of gold, you could be paying at the high end of the bracket for a bar. If you take actual possession, you will have to store the bullion somewhere, and then pay an assay fee when you resell it. If you dont take possession of the gold, you have to pay a storage fee. Buying gold futures is really speculating in a big way. A future, also available through a brokerage house, is a contract obliging you to take delivery of 100 ounces of gold at some future date. Youre betting that the price will be higher by delivery time. For example, if you agree to the contract at $250 an ounce and the price rises to $270 an ounce, youre paying $25,000 for $27,000 worth of gold. Of course, the price of gold can go down, too. and you still pay $25,000, losing the gamble. In my estimation there are a number of sound hedges against inflation, but they dont include gold. I believe that one of the safest, surest, soundest investments you can make today is the long-tercertificate of deposit. The excellent rate of interest, compounded year after year, keeps all your cash alive and well and growing rapidly. Best of all, you can sleep like a baby every night if its in a CD. is m . $8-9,0- O EZRA T. CLARK Gold is a commodity, and its price only reflects how many people want it (or dont want it) at the time. So gold prices rise and fall depending on supply and demand. President since Nevertheless, Carter signed a certain law in November, I feel obliged to tell you and large how small, medium purchases of gold are made. That particular law which the President signed now requires the government to mint and sell to you or other persons who want them, U.S. medallions containing ounce or one ounce of fine gold. Medallions are a convenient way to buy small amounts of gold. One such medallion currently on the market is the krugerrand minted by the South African government. It contains exactly one ounce of gold. Except for the gold, it has no other one-ha- lf value. Gold medallions are usually sold by coin dealers. Most charge about four percent above the current gold price to buyers, and pay about four percent under the price to sellers. However, this percentage varies, and it pays to shop around. |
