 (EMAILWIRE.COM, July 18, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- In a new infograph titled “The Value of Gold Investment Options for Your Golden Years”, Gold Retirement Guide outlines comprehensive and useful information on investing in gold. Since its discovery thousands of years ago, gold has been revered as the world’s most desired precious metal.
The chemical abbreviation for gold is Au, from its Latin name “aurum”, meaning glowing dawn. By the incas, gold was referred to as tears of the sun, due its lustrous golden hue. Throughout history, gold’s popularity subsisted as a result of scarcity, perpetual value and aesthetic appeal.
Gold is a versatile and useful metal, as it can do many things in its different forms and never tarnishes. Despite goldÂ’s perceived scarcity, the demand for precious metal continues to surge. Out of all the precious metals, gold is the most popular to choose as an investment.
The metal has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange, either by issuance and recognition of gold coins or by establishing gold standards to ensure the total value of issued money is represented in a store of gold reserves.
The first gold coins were produced in Lydia around 700 BC, made from electrum, a mix of 63 percent gold and 27 percent silver.
Fastforward 800 years, and since 1971, the value of gold is even higher, as it has consistently outperformed the stock market, real estate and currencies combined. As a result of the surging price in gold, physical ownership of precious metal assets by IRAs has become more popular in the last few years. gold is an ideal investment tool that protects retirement against unstable global currencies, growing U.S. deficit and the threat of worldwide economic recession.
