The process for investing in and buying gold is straight forward and relatively easy.
1) Most investors start with buying Gold Bullion. As you will soon see under the diversification tab, the recommended amount is 20% of your total gold investment.
To get started you can call toll free (888) 552-4825 and an experienced Account Executive at Blanchard and Company, Inc. will guide you through the process.
3) The third and final step is to diversify and buy Rarities - This completes the allocation with an additional 40% in this category.

Now, you may have heard that you should not buy any collectible gold, only hold gold bullion. However, before you dismiss this category, research it.
Those that have stated the foregoing simply haven't done the research. Did you know that in a report to Congress, prepared by Professor Lombra at Penn State University, he showed how rare coins have outperformed every other asset class in the last 29 years.
Also, six months ago the possibility of a third gold confiscation in this country was remote. However, given the state of the economy and the bailout of large financial institutions with guarantees in the trillions of dollars, it is once again a looming concern.
By the way, how do you feel about politicians suddenly thrust into the role of making financial decisions that will indebt you and every other taxpayer in this great nation for years to come? What do you think their level of financial expertise is?
...The $9.7 trillion in pledges would be enough to send a $1,430 check to every man, woman and child alive in the world. It’s 13 times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Congressional Budget Office data, and is almost enough to pay off every home mortgage loan in the U.S., calculated at $10.5 trillion by the Federal Reserve.
