Once you decide if you want gold coins, gold jewelry, or any other form of gold, the next step is to know the currently offered price of gold. You can either spend time to search for yourself or go to a site that does this work for you.
The current gold price in India may not be what it was yesterday so doing not assume it is. The gold price in India changes regularly. It is a highly bought commodity. In fact, the amount of gold one owns is one way that Indians tell worth and value of an individual.
There are some guidelines that one should attempt to follow in order to invest in gold in India. They are not necessary in order to purchase the gold but they are helpful in securing the possibility of making money off you investment.
Guidelines for purchasing Gold in India:
Decide what you can afford
Decide what you want to buy
Find a dealer you can trust that has a solid reputation
Check the authenticity of the gold you want to buy
Buy bars or traditional coins
These are just a basic guideline of what you need to know prior to purchasing gold in India. There is no way to guarantee that you are going to be satisfied with your investment in gold. However, if you do follow the above, have a lot better chances of being satisfied and finding the type of Gold transaction that you are looking for.
The next thing to consider in buying the gold is if you are buying it to make a profit or if you are buying it for community status. In a general sense, buying gold for a profit is a lot trickier than buying it for status. Status is a thing that may come and may not. However, buying gold for a pure profit is one of the trickiest ways or reasons to buy gold.
There are no guarantees what the prices of gold will be from one minute to another. There is not any way to know whether you are going to be able to bank from your purchase or if you will lose your shirt.
The best of advice that can be given on the topic of gold prices in India is to investigate the recent trends in price and buy when they are low. Find a price you can afford. Do not purchase unless you are able to take a loss without it severely affecting your ability to live comfortably. Do not rush the decision to purchase. Make sure you know the broker is one that makes sense. If a broker has a solid positive reputation, chances are they are a good choice.
If something about the transaction makes you uncomfortable, do not make it. There is money to be made in Gold in India if you know what you are doing. Happy and profitable investing to all.

Gold pendants make excellent gifts, particularly for women. So, whether it’s a wedding anniversary, a birthday or Valentine’s, you can find just the right pendant to gift someone you love. Why, you even find ‘broken hearted’ pendants which help you say ‘au revoir’ in style!
Whether you want to purchase a gold pendant for someone else or for yourself, it pays to have some idea about what you’re going to buy. With gold becoming dearer by the day, it is quite easy to fall for scams and frauds. Here are a few tips that will help you buy gold pendants, the smart way!
The first thing you have to understand when you decide to
buy gold pendants is that pendants are not the same as charms, though the terms are used interchangeably. A charm is smaller in size and is designed to hang from a bracelet or a chain. On the other hand, pendants are larger and are designed to hang from chains or necklaces. A more important difference is this: charms are generally used for luck; pendants do not really have any such significance.
Where to shop: You have two choices- your local store or the e-store. Both have their advantages. With the local store, you can be 100% sure of quality. When you shop online, the risks are more unless you choose very carefully. However, the great advantage of online shopping is the fantastic price discounts you can avail of. Online shops offer you the same quality at hefty discounts – sometimes up to 65% off. And you don’t even have to step out of your house to make your purchase.
Get gold savvy: If you’re buying gold, you need to know your karats. 24k (or marked as ‘999’) is pure gold and you won’t be buying 24k gold pendants because 24K gold is malleable and soft. 14k is the most popular variety of gold sold in the US. Gold that is designated as 14k contains approximately 59% gold. The rest is an added alloy, which helps to make the jewelry durable and strong.
White gold: Yes, gold comes in white color too! This is because manufacturers add palladium or nickel to it. White gold pendants are stunning and look wonderful when they are encrusted with diamonds or pearls.
Understand value: The price of gold pendants depends on two things: the rate of gold and the artistic value. On most websites, the total cost is listed per item. However, at times, you may also find the cost per gram. In that case, you will have to add the cost of the total weight of gold and the cost of design/cutting to get the total cost of the pendant. In this regard, please keep in mind that some finished items may have an artistic value that is greater than the cost of gold in it!
Understand compatibility: The weight of the pendant you choose must be in keeping with the chain or the necklace. So, a huge pendant will not sit well on a delicate chain. Besides, such a pendant will break the delicate chain in the course of time.

So, having stood the test of time down through the millennia for value, gold has another important function to play today. With all the woes that mankind has brought about due a mixture of fear and greed, when all else fails, everyone turns back to gold for security.
Since all of the major currencies in the world are now off the gold standard, what value is a stack of dollars, dinars, Euros or pound sterling going to keep, as inflation continually erodes their real value?
Is it any wonder that the price of an ounce of gold (in most people’s memories once worth $35 an ounce), since events like 9-11, and now the ever-soaring price of crude oil, multiple conflicts around the Globe, not to mention the threats of terrorist attacks, has soared, even this year to over $900 an ounce, peaking at the amazing height of $1,002 on the 3rd March this year.
What is more frightening, or perhaps very opportunistically, is that the price of gold this year alone has soared from $840.14 at the beginning of January, and by the middle of the year it is still trading at around $883 an ounce.
But look – in those months, in line with bad news, oil price hikes, falling dollar values, and such like, has seen this price see-sawed in value from the dizzy heights of $1004,62 down to $862.45
What an opportunity for speculators… Massive swings in the value of gold from a peak of $1006 one day, down to $847.84 a few days later; back up to $935 a few days later.
OK, so somebody may have made $165.86 if they bought an ounce of gold as a New Years Day gift, and sold it on the 3rd March (assuming that their Government let them buy gold bullion!)
But now let’s look at the power of leverage in trading in gold…
Unlike currency trading, gold seem to be far more volatile, but losses can be as spectacularly large as the massive gains to be had, so make sure you know what you are doing before you venture into this exciting activity!
As gold is usually quoted in terms of US dollars, it has a price like $876.38 per ounce. Each point movement up or down of the two decimal places is known as a point or PIP. As most traders have a standard trading amount of $100,000 each PIP has a value of $10 (0.01% * 100000).
So if you put on a trade to buy gold at say $849.01 and when you actually execute the trade, the value is now $851.28 that will represent an increase of 227 points or Pips.
If you invested $100,000 on that trade, then you would have made around $2,270 profit or 2.7% (less any commissionsor spreads).
Now, let’s say the trading platform you are using, allow you to use a margin of 100:1 on your investment. That means that to place a trade of $100,000, you only have to put at risk $100 of your own money. So now, your profit is still $2,270 on that previous trade, but at a massive profit of 227%
Just to be really reckless then, you place a trade of $1,000,000 at 100:1 on gold at $836.92, and execute that trade when gold reaches a level of $987.88. That’s 15,096 Pips at $100 per Pip!
Or $150,960 profit from a risk capital of just $1,000.
Now these sorts of swings do not occur every day, but quite hefty swings do take place with quite regular and pleasing regularity. Especially when oil shoots up to over $150 a barrel!
Another thing! It is also just as easy to make a great deal of cash when the price of gold falls as when it rises in price. How? Simple. You buy on the way up, and sell on the way down.
But – before you go out and risk the shirt off your back, please make sure you take care to understand what you are doing – and seek help and advice from the various FOREX trading clubs either on-line, or better still, go visit a real live association.
You’ll never look back!

Does the Central Bank of the Philippines buy Gold and Silver coins? I am a coin collector and I wanted to know if the Central Bank of the Philippines would buy Gold or Silver bullion coins from USA or Canada? I’ve heard that they have a gold and silver buying program.
Can anyone let me know what their policy is regarding buying and selling gold/silver coins?

Bullionvault http://www.bullionvault.com/from/akoort * It used to be very difficult for private individuals to find a simple, cost effective and secure way of buying, storing, and later selling gold. * The big problem was that the narrow ‘spreads’ of the professional bullion markets required settlement in ‘good delivery bars’, so if you couldn’t make delivery in these bars you were excluded from enjoying professional market prices. * These bars are both very large (usually 400 troy ounces …
