Perth Mint - Is it still a good time to buy gold

It's probably a good time to buy if you have totally lost faith in everything else, including stocks and the bond market. The move to gold over the past couple of months in particular is to a large degree down to the uncertainty in the markets. That said, Gold is at an all time historic high and whilst it may continue to rise in the short term, there's no guarantee it'll hold it's value if/when things settle down again. It is however a safe haven in times of turmoil, and like everything, should be regarded as a long term investment for decent returns.

Dunno about Perth Mint but I bought mine from these folk over 10 years ago and found them grand. https://www.heubach-edelmetalle.de/gold
 
Hello,

From what I've read and heard, I think that Perth Mint have a good reputation.

Whether it's a good or bad time to buy gold really depends on why you are thinking of buying it...

So, perhaps the starting point is to give a little more information:

- why are you thinking of buying gold?

- how long do you plan to invest for?

- do you plan to physically hold the hold, or leave it on deposit with Perth Mint and just hold evidence of ownership?
 
I don't think I'd "invest" in gold at these prices in the hope of future appreciation (ie, not take custody).

If I was doing it for fear that the world could go to hell in a handcart, I'd only consider taking custody.
